CHAOS CRUSADES IN WARHAMMER 40000 LORE Covering the most horrific events to occur in warhammer 40,000 - the invasion of real space by the Chaos Space marines and their allies. The who what when where and why of the matter. All stories on the channel are self written, unless very clearly marked, and should never ever be considered canon. They are merely flavour pieces to assist in springboarding the listener into a more consumable way to learn about the warhammer universe. PATREON LINK: www.patreon.com/join/3510517 Alas, I have had some crashing issues with my PC still plus I barely got this out as I was so ill for most of the week, so the visuals are rather basic. But, I know the vast majority merely listen to these things, so I hope its not too irksome.

I never would've imagined someone describing the Ruinous Powers as akin to discarded chewing gum... but after hearing you explain it, the parallel is staggeringly accurate. Fantastic word-smithing as ever, Baldemort!

Indeed. he is legit one of the best. As another legend would say... the cream rises to the top , lmfao. Thing i love about Boldemort, is that he is one of the best at presenting the actual setting. But he IS the best when it comes to presenting his own fan fiction as if it were canon. One of his fan fict Chars, is legit one of my favorite 40K Chars. Second only to one actual Canon char of that race. And its also the only fan fict char i can stand in any IP.

What a sight when all the boyz came running down the mountain holding the tablets inscribed with the latest cunning brutalities and brutal cunni-shenanigans. 😆 Every single one was singing: "Ere we go, ere we go, ere we go!" And all the folk that was dancing around the golden coneheads fell silent. 😇

you are by far my favourite warhammer loremaster, i always look forward to your videos and very muchly enjoy your storytelling. i feel that im a fanboy akin to a musician band and thats a big compliment as my musical inclinations rarely meet the levels of my storytelling inclinations

What a treat!! Thank you, Baldermort, as ever

Every new baldemort video is an absolute treat

you are a legend! thank you for your time and creativity! Much love from Canada!

Watched the whole thing from start to finish. And I LOVED the little diatribe (I think that’s the word) at the end. Such a great commentary on the futility of chaos worship. I think it could translate very well to the futility of excess in real life too

Hi again, Baldermort! I just finished your video and... What a conclusion! I don't want to spoil it for anyone here. I just want to say that I strongly agree with your conclusion about the dark gods. It was a very funny but also poignant illustration. Thank you so much for providing your fascinating take on dark crusades given in your ever inimitable style. I so greatly enjoy your work, Baldermort. I was riveted from beginning to end. Indeed, it was quite a corker! 🍾

Absolutely love your work! I can’t wait for more tails of high adventure!!

Amazing analogy at the end.

Rad to see , khaine vs slaanesh , 13 crusades , great crusade , war in heaven , ran dan xenocides, joint primarch military actions and private interactions, the emperor before and after the age of strife . Chaos God origin stories , like in depth .

5:45, This Alpha Legion warband sounds like "The Faceless" Cell from the book Harrowmaster. The Faceless are very old school, down to still using surgery to all look like the closest they can to and still refers to thier leader as Alpharius, and specialise in infiltration, espionse, and clandestine destabilasation operations. I wonder if Baldermort's Alpha Legion warband here is a nod to them?

Sorry. I really am. If I could live without them I would. :(.

Have you ever seen the Primaris Sons of Horus? Imagine: if Horus Lupercal and Legion (except Abaddon and followers of course) had remained Loyalists (thus perhaps helping by defending Terra), could Alpharius have been the new leader of the rebellion (still embracing Slaanesh), of the fact that he is actually the first one found? The Alpharius Heresy, how does it sound? Maybe even Abaddon himself (the Abaddon Heresy)!

Hope all is well Baldy! And the gentle listener who may be new or just starting there 40k journey. Baldermort Is a Mastercrafter is story telling. Find ur faction in the playlist and let the emersion and hype begin. Never been a fan of donating and patron ect but for this guy i make an exception mainly because i wouldn't even be into 40k if it wasn't for the fine gentleman and his Death leaper story. nids in general really my favorite flavor of story.
