As an outsider to the 40 K universe... I have to formulate My insight that you are a truly gifted narrator who’s adept for storytelling is one of the best and most effective I’ve ever experienced (coming from an anthropologist witnessing multitudes of cultures recite their stories)...You always find a way to bring an original perspective taking us down unexpected narrative pathways as you simply yes eloquently speak of the Warhammer universe as we walk through it with you. Your perceptions of this galaxy whose menagerie of complicated yet intriguing habitants make The ‘grim darkness’ feel palpable. Yet such a unique facet it’s not what put you on a different level of other Warhammer narrators, it’s The fact that you’re narrative monologues are NEVER formulaic nor predictable nor a simple recitation pre-written Lore! You my man, are gifted. The natural predispositions of your voice and cadence emanated through the aperture of a passion for the grim dark.... has manifested a pure intuitive genius for your craft!

Well the channel is growing much faster now.

I find myself back here once again good sir Baldermort. I have had myself what I would call the longest second of my life, and that was seeing my dad in the hospital, hearing there was no brain activity and no chance of recovery save for a miracle. No miracle came, and it was seven days before my birthday. I miss him every day. I keep coming back to 40k, and your videos, because it contains stories of struggling against insurmountable odds without hope. I really resonate with that. I've left comments on a few of your videos, and I will continue to do so, but I want to thank you for being the catalyst that got me into the lore. Strange as it is, it's been those stories of perseverance that helped me step up and do what needed to be done in the days following his passing. It wasn't easy, but falling apart wasnt an option. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading the 40k books. And oddly enough, I have enjoyed Rogal Dorne, and Sigismund. I have a fascination with Viking mythology, and have a few trinkets with runes on them (rule of cool). One ring has the inscription "May you not lack in strength". It was a surreal moment when I read The Solar War and read Sigismund say before a battle "May my strength be equal to this moment." I read that page the day of my dad's passing, before I went to bed in the morning after night shift. You may never read this, but I hope you know that you have brought me stories that I have found important lessons in. I'll leave you with the final words I gave my father before saying goodbye "It was enough." You've brought me stories, and made videos with such passion and zeal, and it has made a difference in my life. Thank you good sir Baldermort.

Your telling of Rogal's origins is an absolute joy to listen to. You gotta hand it to GW for building such a deep character, a stoic outside with such emotion and sentimentality underneath. It's very cool to see how you were able to show how Gulliman could be so jealous of Rogal. Rogal was everything Gulliman wanted to be and from my understanding Gulliman felt better than or superior to his brother Rogal. You can see Gulliman's jealousy in Rogal's Crusade record, how pleased their father was with Rogal's Empire, the Emperor keeping Rogal close instead of Gulliman, Rogal gifting the Phalanx to the Emperor where Gulliman had no such gift, Rogal being chosen as the Praetorian of Terra and then later Warmaster of the Loyalists, and Rogal being the one to last see their father. It's cool to see how Gulliman kept that jealousy underneath until he couldn't take it anymore and decided to abdicate Rogal in the name of his own pride. I'm certain GW doesnt see Gulliman this way but I find it very cool that this story is there if you see things a certain way.

man you really made me feel for Dorn, you can really tell a story!

Baldemort, you have made many exquisite videos, but in my mind, nothing can touch the masterpiece that you have achieved in this trilogy of Rogal Dorn. This is surely one of your finest works and one that I love the most. They are so...emotional. Heartbreaking. They encapsulate the essence of what W4OK is all about, not the battles ,not war but the heart of it. Its emotions. I still watch these videos in full length over and over again, no matter their length. Its like LOTR to me, I can always do another marathon. Thank you for this

Leutin gets is a lot more accurate with the lore. Absolving him from some gripes. He too however... Is thickly slabbing on his opinions in videos... Although in an less adversarial manner. Again. Highly frustrating. Are they here to teach us about the lore or impart their opinions... Baldemort. You my man have a far more storytelling approach to this. Bringing the lore far more "as read by a librarian". It has your interpretation entwined in it. But it's far more about the nuances/emotions of the lore. Not forcing your opinion onto the reader but merely hinting at how you see it. Leaving breathing room for the listener to make their own interpretation. Keep it up! You rock!

Rogue4Buttons it would be deeply inappropriate for me to comment on your evaluation of Arch or Luetin. I hope you see I am not disagreeing with you, just playing it neutral as I tend to do. I never want to sour anyone to any other channel. But about myself / thank you. A lot. I try to show when it’s an opinion or dramatic licence by saying ‘we’re going off script’ indicating it is just my take. I never want to thrust my view down anyone’s throat about warhammer. The only exception is a call to enjoy it and leave the stress away from it. It’s our hobby our escape! Anything else? Politics, economics, etc? I’m not trained for that! Entertainers should stick to entertaining, is my view. If I want an opinion on anything ‘real life’ I look up a bunch of differing experts. See what they got. I will never ever understand why anyone would ask a poet about plumbing or an actor about politics. They know just about squat is my view. Their view, like my view, is no better than anyone else’s. But it’s just my take on things. I’m regularly wrong. Regularly. If you EVER catch me slipping from this line, if you EVER see me getting full of myself, burst that balloon. Remind me of this, the Baldomatic oath. Just lore and stories. Maybe some hobby stuff. Nothing ever more. Ever. I learn as much from the comments section as anyone learns from me. This is a community site, not a one man band. And it will STAY that way. :).

I used to be really into GW mainly for the lore when I was a wee nipper. Such a great source of inspiration and imagination within the tombs of the old codexes. Now, stumbling across these entries and listening in appreciation as an artist myself and wannabe writer / voice actor the life you breathe into these great stories is exhilarating and aspirational! Praise to thee Baldie, praise be!

I only just discovered your channel this week from a post in a 40k Facebook group but I have to say your are now my favourite loremaster by an Imperial mile! I sat and listend to the whole 3 part Rogal Dorn series last night whilst working on some digital 3d projects and it blew me away. I've been playing 40k since the first edition but I've never heard anyone give the lore such gravitas as your tellings!! Well done that man!!!!

David Cilia thank you, brother. I really appreciate that. I thought it my best work. Ok, the sound wasn’t great and had improved by miles. But I was proud of it. But I am just a starter channel. I never claim to know any more than anyone who has ‘been around the block.’ That you enjoyed it and are another ‘Rogue Trader’ - the honour is mine. :). Thank you for listening and then taking the time to comment. It means the world. :).

such a wonderful story telling. I never thought i would be moved by the immovable stoic primarch

I always get so excited finding a good 40k channel! Subscribed, thanks for giving my favorite primarch some love!

This is just wonderful, I may have shed a tear or two on hearing this. Fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The last time I was this moved by a story was when I read “Where The Red Fern Grows”. Bravo sir.

I'm back for another watch. This trilogy about this character is amazingly done, it's titanic in it's tragedy and really nails how catastrophic the Heresy was and from this Primarch's perspective you gave us. You did do it justice and I can see why it's a traumatic thing for a loremaster to try and describe. My admiration for Rogal went from nothing to stupendous overnight! It's Shakespearean in it's tragedy and what a loss to the Imperium Sanguinius was never mind everything else! I wish Rogal could have seen his dream come true..I'm gutted.

Truly heart rending is your telling of Rogal Dorn. You have found a subscriber and I have found a new favorite Primarch. On to part two.

Thank you for listening, brother Dovah. :)

Escapism.. yes , and more. As grimdark and over-the-top as 40k may seem, there´s many ideas in there which, upon closer inspection are quite deep, like the warp for instance: It could be seen as an analogy for the collective unconscious of humanity, an immaterial reality consisting of the hidden emotions and desires of mankind, breaking into conscious reality in times of crisis and great sufffering. I never got into the game itself (I enjoyed the few good videogames like Dawn of war though...) but I love the setting and the lore in it´s grimdark and epic nature. I´m really thankful passionate people like you are creating these carefully put together and supremely narrated videos, its a treat for us lore-heads. Ave Imperator Baldemort, may he watch over your soul so you can continue to enlighten us with your knowledge of the grim darkness of the far future!

I keep coming back to this series, your videos are absolutely spectacular and I can feel the passion for the setting through the screen! Thank you so much for your work, I can’t even explain how much your videos have helped me through a lot of tough days. So, thank you Baldermort, you definitely have a much larger impact on me and the entire 40k community than you can ever realize.

Damn man, right in the feels.

1988....I saw blue and red.....in 88 i saw the crimson fist. In 88 I was a fan. Still am. And now in my later years do I very much enjoy hearing your voice talk about the lore of the game and characters I have come to love over these many years. Ave Imperator

Well Baldermort, this is now the 5th time I’ve listened to the Rogal Dorn series. Bloody brilliant.

You deserve way more than 23k views. Man these are the best lore vids I've heard!

Currently in isolation because of Covid 19 and honestly finding your channel has been the best youtube find. Happily subbed! Keep it up!

Good luck! Stay safe. :) Many thanks for listening brother EDG. :)

I come back and listen to this every few weeks. out of every bit of Lore audio i have DEVOURED since I was exposed to the lore a bit over a year ago by a friend. this is by far the most amazingly well done. the sheer emotion you were able to convey is just phenomenal. nothing comes close to this series as of yet. thank you for creating this

Way to set mood it's just like when I am reading the House Heresy books when Dorn is looking at the 2 empty plinths of the missing ptimarchs in the emperor"s palace and Gulliman looking at the 2 chairs covered in white sheets in his council chambers on Macrag but Dorn is the most moved because he wants to save his brothers ( to late for Magnus) he doesn't want to go through this again but you are also doing a awesome job at conveying that emotion of heart break but you and and Wolf Lord Roe are my go to for 40k lore ( Sorry for rambling on like fanboy lol )

Baldermort, you have made many great videos in the time since I subscribed to your channel, but this trio is what caught my attention, and I find myself coming back to this epic again and again

Rick thank you brother. I am trying to get to the next one. I have one project to do first. Then it’s a ‘traitor’ Primarch. Sorry for the delays my friend. They just take a lot of work and I have to get a few more introductions out first. All I can hope is that I can capture the lightening again. :).

Simply awesome story telling, good sir. I've loved all your vids, even the sad ones like this.

''once upon a time....i was me'' rogal dorn......

You continue to astound me! This is incredibly well written and narrated. I need to go watch part 2 right now!
