sweet a Space Wolf Hero, I love Wolves to be honest. sometimes I wish people would Respect the guard more often and stuff. at least I know the Wolves and the Salamanders love to help the Civilians and the Guard
Reason differs. Wolves like Ragnar, Grimnar, Bjorn and Arjac do it because they’re good people like the Salamanders. Wolves like Krom Dragongaze do it because they’re glory hounds who are nearly suicidal in their drive to add to their saga.
It's a shame there's some petty heretic disliking your vids the second they go up. You have some of the best 40k lore content on YT keep up the great work sir.
It's happened since my sixth or seventh lore video I believe. Don;t worry. Its either a bot or an intensely dedicated chap. I have to respect that level of commitment, even if I wish it were not so. :) Thank you. A lot. :)
@@baldermort Look at it as your good deed: If you can make some poor soul feel better having something to dislike, you even give them something to look forward to, spreading joy even in that little dark corner.
Brother Baldermort - Another fine offering and once again you get me to consider and care about a character I hadn't heard of in a faction I don't follow so fiercely. Well done. :)
THANKS! I got the last two codicecs and was looking at him and thinking 'coooorr, looks like a BEAST'. But realized I didn;t actually know how he would perform on the field. Elated to hear he is a monster. :)
My guess is the Language Police. "But Why?" I hear you ask. Because the SW are Space Vikings. And in Scandinavian languages J's are pronounced as Y's. So... it's pronunciation should be more like Aric. And yes I know I'm sounding like one of them. But I gave this vid a thumbs up.
@@baldermort It’s why I refer to the ORKS as the Florida Man of 40k. Who else would use Space Hulks full of demons and tyranids like 5 star cruise ships, or believing that painting their ships red would make them go faster? They are the literal definition of Hold My Beer
I never fear for the quality of your entries, Great Baldermort! Imagine going against Rockfist and you see him throw his hammer and you rejoice cause now he has no weapon only for a second later it reappears in his massive hands and you're just like *awwww*
Arjac is one my favorite Wolf both on and off the table. Great character that's not one dimensional and how he miss the forge. It's said when he does go to it for every 1000 blades he makes only one or two pass his eye. Table top I love using Foehammer to surprise another player.
Oh Hell yeah man! I've wanted to know more about this dude ever since I heard Majorkill mention him. Thanks! Definitely looking forward to listening to this video!:)
Sir, your videos are extremely addicting. When they are 8 mins long they feel like hearing a great song, you are loving it and just wish it was longer. Can't wait for the main Space Wolves video! Fantastic work as always!
Sorry! The little snacks are to keep youtube from forgetting the channel and hiding it. Plus sometimes a brief one is easily consumed. Definitely working on the big one. Hoping it’ll be good! :)
@@baldermort Of course! I was speaking out of gluttony more than anything else. If your short videos were 40 mins long I would still wish they were longer hah, there's just no one on youtube that wields storytelling as masterfully as you do!
Thank you for the introduction to Arjac Rockfist, one of the great champions of the faction I am most passionate about. Now to buy him and build an army for him to synergise with, as always baldermort your words inspire me and take me deeper into the 40k universe!!
Excellent work, amazing narrative Baldermort. Apologies for falling behind in the tales, home working and schooling is a time consuming quest. Tonight, Arjac will be ordered from the workshop; I have been notified he is again in stock. Keep up the good work sir.
Is there any lore that addresses at what age the Space Wolves usually harvest their aspirants? It seems like they tend to take them when they're older than other chapters' recruits.
I will check that. I expect that their warriros seem so much older as their lives are so much more harsh. But I haven;t bumped into lore myself that states they are older. I would think it would be an issue with the gene seed. But I will check brother. i will check.
He's the Warhammer 40k version of part Captain America part Thor. Captain Thor, Human, DemiGod, Space Viking wielding a mighty Mjolnir-like warhammer and Cap-like shield that have the capability to teleport back to its wielder pretty much like the Marvel counterparts. This guy is a beast and probably my favorite Space Wolf along with Bjorn. Those two could probably take on entire armies together, just give them a few Guardsmen or a couple brother Space Wolves with bolters for ranged support, while they melee the shit out of any foes unlucky enough to be caught in their war paths.
Hhhhh i took a break from warhammer content for some months, hearing your voice sets something right lol. I had a thought after seeing your new intro (amazing! Love it.) That you typically put your original stories at the beginning of your videos right? After some back and forth with a youtuber, he told me that replaying his opening lowered average watch time and messed with his algorithm. Sounded like whining to me, but take it as you will. Unrelated, an annual collection of your original stories in a video would be amazing.
@@baldermort A motto we used for my platoons when I was an instructor at boot camp. Switch out 'warrior' with 'soldier' and 'pack' with 'platoon', but I still thought it fitting.
Can you do Ragnar Blackmane? I love Blackmanes story and how he became an Astartes and he has a really good story for a Anime adaptation especially his intro from Bloodclaw and to Wolflord , keep it up sir!
I have quite the great company, including a little of the 13th great company wolfen, loved kit bashing the 13th to make them look like battlefield scavengers 😈
I have not previously but it is something I am actually considering. Submissions would need to be correct grammatically. Or it’s a pain to modify. A real pain.
This guy just dropped in this 40K game I'm playing called Tacticus after Azrael, & because I don't follow SW lore, I didn't know he was real & I thought they just made him up for the game😂
'My tale this night is of Arjac Rockfist. Yes, well might you cheer. Arjac, the mightiest of us all! A giant even among the Space Marines, the Anvil and the Hammer of Fenris! Many kegs of ale have been drained in toast to him. Even you Long Fangs, you who grumble and shake your heads at the antics of the Blood Claws, even you Grey Hunters who call yourself the backbone of our Chapter, even you will celebrate his name. Yes, Arjac Rockfist, Grimnar's Champion! Many are the foes of the Allfather who curse his name in hel. But this is not a tale of the crushing of the unrighteous at the far ends of the galaxy. No, this tale takes place here, on Fenris, the cold and heartless mother that gave birth to us all, home to the tribes which whelped each one of you. It unfolds in this very place, at the Fang, throne of Leman Russ, fortress of the Space Wolves. My words will take us even to this spot, the Great Hall. Who will pour me a mug? I have much to say and my throat becomes dry. Thank you, Brother Hef. Now, let me see. Yes, Arjac! Arjac was strong before he ever became a Space Wolf, before the Wolf Priests ever singled him out for elevation to your number. He was a child of prodigious strength and size, and the fathers of his people told him he would be a warrior. And indeed he was a terror on the battlefield. But truly his home was not there, but in the forge. There his great strength could bend the shafts of fangtree wood into yokes for the Fenrisian drakes that pulled his chieftain's chariot. His hammer blows could tame blades of titansteel into shape, and only with his sternness and strength of arm could the steeds of the mountain valleys be shoed for the cavalry of his people. Though many enemies fell to his hand in his youth, it was by his labour in the forges that his people were victorious and thrived. Barely had Arjac returned from his Blooding when the Iron Priests near demanded he be apprenticed to them, to work hammer and anvil in the Forge Hills that form the lower slopes of the Fang. His master then was Hengis Blackhand, High Iron Priest, and Arjac learned quickly. While his fellow Blood Claws, like all you raucous whelps, feasted and tested their strength, and the Wolf Priests were pressed to keep them from putting one another in the apothecarion, Arjac read the treatises on weapon-craft he hoped would make him worthy of the greatest relics in the Chapter armoury. He spent his time on Mars, that world of forges, as all who aspire to forge and repair the machines of war must do. Even among their strange rituals and inhuman Magi he was a prodigy of the anvil! The Magi of the Red World claimed he had in him the potential to himself be High Iron Priest one day, though that would be centuries of labour and learning in the future. Many are the tales I could tell of his time at Mars, but for now I will speak of a time after he returned, apprentice to the High Iron Priest. Everyone will be tested. This is the lesson that Fenris teaches us. We are tested first when we are born squealing and naked into her clutches, when she challenges us merely to survive. As we approach manhood we must pass her thousand tests of resolve and strength, of valour, intelligence, temperance and fury. A Space Wolf is tested in another thousand trials, the greatest of which is the Blooding. You passed that test - I did not, as is evidenced by the limp with which I walk and the humble trappings of a thrall I wear instead of the carapace and armour of a Space Marine. And so it was that Arjac was tested, too. Hengis Blackhand summoned Arjac to the Heart Forge, that lava-fed pit of fire, the only place where Fenris's fury can be kindled sufficient to forge the hardest and sharpest frost blade. Arjac attended his master there above the lava pit, ringed as it still is by its hundred anvils, on the lower slope of the Fang...' 'The booming clangs receded into a low murmur. A more modest vault awaited him - less than twenty metres in height, less than thirty wide. No icons of gods hung from the blackened ceiling, just bare stone worked into gothic arches. A single anvil rested in the centre of the chamber, black and heavy-set, shiny in the darkness. A furnace the height of two mortal men stood beside it, lit with shimmering coals that made the narrow opening shake with heat. A few other items stood beside the furnace - a rack hung with dozens of metalworking tools, a cauldron of water, iron caskets full of ingots - but otherwise the space was almost bare. No servitors droned around that place; no conveyer belts brought raw materials to the hammer’s bite. Less than one weapon a year left that anvil, and many more were destroyed by their maker before they reached the Iron Priest for blessing. Few ironworkers would have had their painstaking energies so indulged by the Jarls. Arjac, though, the one they called Rockfist, was a special case. The man-mountain stood over the anvil like a frost giant bearing down on a prone victim. His thick armour-plate shone blood-red in the light of the furnace, picking out the battered runes that ran down the length of his arms. His bald head hung low over his work, streaked with dirty sweat. A blade lay on the anvil-top, shining with ruddy heat. Arjac worked it skilfully, using a light hammer to hone the edge down to a bite point. The image was incongruous - Arjac’s immense body, bulked out further by thick sweeps of ceramite armour, tapping delicately at the sliver of metal before him. Gunnlaugur said nothing. He remained in the shadows, watching respectfully. Arjac never looked up. The hammer rose and fell, glistening from the firelight, chipping out sparks as the impurities in the metal were beaten out. Eventually Arjac snatched the blade away and plunged it into the cauldron. A swollen bloom of steam hissed up around it. He withdrew it and brought it into the light of the furnace. He turned it over and over, scrutinising what he had done. The blade was the length of his forearm, ideal for a duelling gladius. Gunnlaugur looked at it appreciatively. His was no trained eye, but he knew how to use a sword, and it looked like he could use that one. ‘Fancy it, stripling?’ asked Arjac, never lifting his head. Gunnlaugur smiled. ‘For me?’ he said. Arjac let the metal fall back on the anvil. ‘For no one,’ he sighed. ‘It’ll be melted down, just like the others.’ ‘Seems a waste.’ ‘A waste? Of what - metal? There’s more down here than we could use in a thousand years.’ Arjac straightened out of his stoop. Fully extended, his bulk was even more intimidating. Gunnlaugur, whose own physical presence was immense, seemed almost slight in comparison. ‘A waste is sending a warrior out with a defective blade,’ Arjac growled, rolling his great shoulders in slow circles. ‘In any case, only an idiot goes into battle with a sword.’ Arjac’s huge thunder hammer, fomadurhamar, hung from an immense iron frame at the rear of the chamber. Even powered-down, it exuded a quiet air of implacable solidity - much like its master. ‘Agreed.’ Gunnlaugur’s preferred weapon was also a thunder hammer, one that shared his moniker - skulbrotsjór - safely stowed over the war-altar in his personal Jarlheim chamber. The two warriors shared a similar view of much in life, including which was the proper tool to break heads with. Arjac came around from the far side of the anvil and approached Gunnlaugur. The furnace-light exposed a brawler’s face, broad from tight bands of muscle, lodged deep amid stocky neck-sinew and his armour’s fibre-bundles. For a moment, Arjac looked straight at Gunnlaugur, appraising him as he would a newly-worked slab of metal. Gunnlaugur wouldn’t have let many look at him like that - since being elevated to Wolf Guard, only Jarl Blackmane, the Priests and Grimnar himself had the authority to subject him to any kind of scrutiny. Arjac, however, was different. Arjac was exceptional in every respect. His blood was that of an Iron Priest’s, as was his temperament. Only his peerless skill at close range combat had kept him away from the lava forges where he longed to be. Gunnlaugur knew, just as everyone else knew, how much Arjac yearned to settle back among the true weaponsmiths, crafting artificer axe-heads and lightning claws among the silent, brooding anvil-masters. But Arjac never complained. That generated a respect in the halls of the Fang. It had made him the first mentor Gunnlaugur had ever sought during his centuries of service in the Rout. To his surprise, Arjac had been receptive. Perhaps the Anvil of Fenris had seen something of himself in the raw Gunnlaugur. Perhaps, since he was rarely approached for serious counsel, he welcomed the chance to pass on some of his accumulated battle-lore...'

Yes, Arjac Rockfist, Grimnar's Champion! Many are the foes of the Allfather who curse his name in hel. But this is not a tale of the crushing of the unrighteous at the far ends of the galaxy. No, this tale takes place here, on Fenris, the cold and heartless mother that gave birth to us all, home to the tribes which whelped each one of you. It unfolds in this very place, at the Fang, throne of Leman Russ, fortress of the Space Wolves. My words will take us even to this spot, the Great Hall. Who will pour me a mug? I have much to say and my throat becomes dry. Thank you, Brother Hef. Now, let me see. Yes, Arjac! Arjac was strong before he ever became a Space Wolf, before the Wolf Priests ever singled him out for elevation to your number. He was a child of prodigious strength and size, and the fathers of his people told him he would be a warrior. And indeed he was a terror on the battlefield. But truly his home was not there, but in the forge. There his great strength could bend the shafts of fangtree wood into yokes for the Fenrisian drakes that pulled his chieftain's chariot. His hammer blows could tame blades of titansteel into shape, and only with his sternness and strength of arm could the steeds of the mountain valleys be shoed for the cavalry of his people. Though many enemies fell to his hand in his youth, it was by his labour in the forges that his people were victorious and thrived. Barely had Arjac returned from his Blooding when the Iron Priests near demanded he be apprenticed to them, to work hammer and anvil in the Forge Hills that form the lower slopes of the Fang. His master then was Hengis Blackhand, High Iron Priest, and Arjac learned quickly. While his fellow Blood Claws, like all you raucous whelps, feasted and tested their strength, and the Wolf Priests were pressed to keep them from putting one another in the apothecarion, Arjac read the treatises on weapon-craft he hoped would make him worthy of the greatest relics in the Chapter armoury. He spent his time on Mars, that world of forges, as all who aspire to forge and repair the machines of war must do. Even among their strange rituals and inhuman Magi he was a prodigy of the anvil! The Magi of the Red World claimed he had in him the potential to himself be High Iron Priest one day, though that would be centuries of labour and learning in the future. Many are the tales I could tell of his time at Mars, but for now I will speak of a time after he returned, apprentice to the High Iron Priest. Everyone will be tested. This is the lesson that Fenris teaches us. We are tested first when we are born squealing and naked into her clutches, when she challenges us merely to survive. As we approach manhood we must pass her thousand tests of resolve and strength, of valour, intelligence, temperance and fury. A Space Wolf is tested in another thousand trials, the greatest of which is the Blooding. You passed that test - I did not, as is evidenced by the limp with which I walk and the humble trappings of a thrall I wear instead of the carapace and armour of a Space Marine. And so it was that Arjac was tested, too. Hengis Blackhand summoned Arjac to the Heart Forge, that lava-fed pit of fire, the only place where Fenris's fury can be kindled sufficient to forge the hardest and sharpest frost blade. Arjac attended his master there above the lava pit, ringed as it still is by its hundred anvils, on the lower slope of the Fang...'
'The booming clangs receded into a low murmur. A more modest vault awaited him - less than twenty metres in height, less than thirty wide. No icons of gods hung from the blackened ceiling, just bare stone worked into gothic arches. A single anvil rested in the centre of the chamber, black and heavy-set, shiny in the darkness. A furnace the height of two mortal men stood beside it, lit with shimmering coals that made the narrow opening shake with heat. A few other items stood beside the furnace - a rack hung with dozens of metalworking tools, a cauldron of water, iron caskets full of ingots - but otherwise the space was almost bare. No servitors droned around that place; no conveyer belts brought raw materials to the hammer’s bite. Less than one weapon a year left that anvil, and many more were destroyed by their maker before they reached the Iron Priest for blessing. Few ironworkers would have had their painstaking energies so indulged by the Jarls. Arjac, though, the one they called Rockfist, was a special case. The man-mountain stood over the anvil like a frost giant bearing down on a prone victim. His thick armour-plate shone blood-red in the light of the furnace, picking out the battered runes that ran down the length of his arms. His bald head hung low over his work, streaked with dirty sweat. A blade lay on the anvil-top, shining with ruddy heat. Arjac worked it skilfully, using a light hammer to hone the edge down to a bite point. The image was incongruous - Arjac’s immense body, bulked out further by thick sweeps of ceramite armour, tapping delicately at the sliver of metal before him. Gunnlaugur said nothing. He remained in the shadows, watching respectfully. Arjac never looked up. The hammer rose and fell, glistening from the firelight, chipping out sparks as the impurities in the metal were beaten out. Eventually Arjac snatched the blade away and plunged it into the cauldron. A swollen bloom of steam hissed up around it. He withdrew it and brought it into the light of the furnace. He turned it over and over, scrutinising what he had done. The blade was the length of his forearm, ideal for a duelling gladius.
Gunnlaugur looked at it appreciatively. His was no trained eye, but he knew how to use a sword, and it looked like he could use that one.
‘Fancy it, stripling?’ asked Arjac, never lifting his head.
Gunnlaugur smiled.
‘For me?’ he said. Arjac let the metal fall back on the anvil.
‘For no one,’ he sighed. ‘It’ll be melted down, just like the others.’
‘Seems a waste.’
‘A waste? Of what - metal? There’s more down here than we could use in a thousand years.’ Arjac straightened out of his stoop. Fully extended, his bulk was even more intimidating. Gunnlaugur, whose own physical presence was immense, seemed almost slight in comparison. ‘A waste is sending a warrior out with a defective blade,’ Arjac growled, rolling his great shoulders in slow circles. ‘In any case, only an idiot goes into battle with a sword.’ Arjac’s huge thunder hammer, fomadurhamar, hung from an immense iron frame at the rear of the chamber. Even powered-down, it exuded a quiet air of implacable solidity - much like its master.
‘Agreed.’ Gunnlaugur’s preferred weapon was also a thunder hammer, one that shared his moniker - skulbrotsjór - safely stowed over the war-altar in his personal Jarlheim chamber. The two warriors shared a similar view of much in life, including which was the proper tool to break heads with.
Arjac came around from the far side of the anvil and approached Gunnlaugur. The furnace-light exposed a brawler’s face, broad from tight bands of muscle, lodged deep amid stocky neck-sinew and his armour’s fibre-bundles. For a moment, Arjac looked straight at Gunnlaugur, appraising him as he would a newly-worked slab of metal. Gunnlaugur wouldn’t have let many look at him like that - since being elevated to Wolf Guard, only Jarl Blackmane, the Priests and Grimnar himself had the authority to subject him to any kind of scrutiny. Arjac, however, was different. Arjac was exceptional in every respect. His blood was that of an Iron Priest’s, as was his temperament. Only his peerless skill at close range combat had kept him away from the lava forges where he longed to be. Gunnlaugur knew, just as everyone else knew, how much Arjac yearned to settle back among the true weaponsmiths, crafting artificer axe-heads and lightning claws among the silent, brooding anvil-masters. But Arjac never complained. That generated a respect in the halls of the Fang. It had made him the first mentor Gunnlaugur had ever sought during his centuries of service in the Rout. To his surprise, Arjac had been receptive. Perhaps the Anvil of Fenris had seen something of himself in the raw Gunnlaugur. Perhaps, since he was rarely approached for serious counsel, he welcomed the chance to pass on some of his accumulated battle-lore...'
