SPACE MARINE RANKS: THE SERGEANT: WARHAMMER 40000 LORE The backbone of the Space Marine Chapters, it is the Sergeants that make the entire force work efficiently and effectively.

Emperor bless you baldy, I'm sure you get tired of seeing it on every video, but I'll say it again. Thank you, I'll never be able to fit my appreciation for your work into this tiny box. But these videos help keep my irl cixatrix maledictum at bay. I truly appreciate the passion you bring to the universe.

The Sergeant. AKA: "The Captain gives the command, this guy makes sure it gets done."

The indomitable NCO, the hard ass backbone of any real military force...

There is no more base level badass than a Space Marine Sergeant.

Sergeant's are, I think, the soul of the squad. There loadout being more independent then their brothers, able to add that little more ranged fire power or have a melee weapon, acting as the squads "champion" back when challenges were a thing. Assembling the sergeant is often my favourite part of building a squad, choosing his gear and digging into my bit's boxes for that one little addition to mark them out from the others.

Agreed. I always like adding a bit more to the Sgt. Give them some extra character and personality.

A rough day at work, but a good day turns it all around.

As an NCO in the military I can most identify with these guys.

Sir Baldy! You may have just searched up "bridge near waterfall" pics, but thank you for choosing Multnomah Falls in my area! It is silly that it does so but it makes me proud that one of our little landmarks over here in Oregon made it into one of my favorite creators' vids!

Who needs a jump pack when one can pull a Space Wolves worthy display of bravado? Maybe one day we shall be blessed with an entry for the true lifeblood of any chapter, its serfs.

Yes! Worth it for the fanfic alone.

Ahhh the Sgt. I loved the moments my Vet Sgts (Terminator Honors I think it was called back in the day) with a PF (either in Tac or Assault Squads) gave me. And how they'd insta death an HQ or rip out the engine of a vehicle. Good, glorious times.

Terminator Honours is like a medal or decoration; it's awarded to veteran Marines when they complete the training to use Tactical Dreadnought Armour...

It is always an enjoyment to hear your lore readings.

Amazing video. Tho. The image of the bridge and water fall caught me off guard “Multnomah falls bridge” loved going there as a kid.

Thank you for this! I've barely slept since Saturday, when I picked up my new puppy (Trazyn the Australian Shepherd). Your lore is perfect and your voice is soothing. I needed this.

I just figured "fear" as in Know No Fear is shorthand for cowardice. Oversimplificstion is common in the setting. After all, the Primordial annihilator is referred to simply as "chaos".

My favourite quotes from my ex-military friends about Sergeant's "Don't call me Sir, I'm an NCO I work for a living" "That's the Sergeant....try not to piss him off you will regret it" As to what you read I know enough Sgt's who would have said, stay here I'll deal with this c*** put me a brew on I'll be back in five.

Thank you, Uncle Bald. You continue to be the greatest hobby audio for me to build my little army men to. I am forever grateful for your content, thank you for never giving up. 😊

Yo, Baldy, can't tell you how much your narratives add to the richness of a proper gentleman's daily experience. Effort made is job 1. Pray, continue in the very best of health.

Your lore telling is the best part of the day whenever you upload. 🙏🏿

A wonderful Friday indeed I hope all is well with your health my friend and hope all is well with family and all around you

For the algorythm, for the emporer

We love you sir Baldy!! You who are blessed bring us these beautiful stories and moments. You get us through the difficult times and we can not thank you enough!! God bless you and your family and may the Emperor protect!

Thank you for this Warhammer 40,000 tribute, this your weekly Warhammer 40,000 tribute.

Love your dedication, because of it we have brilliant content! You keep very many people busy with your brilliance. We all love you and the gifts of videos you keep us happy with! ❤

As you stated “Time for a little fun”. Thaddeus was brilliant! You are correct. Friday/Saturday is my time to switch off. Learn about humanity and graciously accept and revere your years of dedicated passion. Love to all the crew and family. Thank you @Baldermort you make my world a little less shit. Alex 💯❤️😈🤖💯🇬🇧🫡

Many thanx Grand Narrator. May U continue to shine in the Emperor's light 👍👍

Toughest... Warriors...Ever. Well done Brother B, as always:)

One must wonder how Sergeants handle combat inside buildings when they've got those big banners attached to their backs.

Love you Baldemort. Thank you for introducing this chaotic world to me and my girlfriend.

A new video, gotta love it! Thank you for your work brother B! Have a great weekend

Fantastic thank you Baldermort, I am happy we could go back to the marine structures, I am that one guy that actually really likes the Primarius Lieutenant models, the Bladegaurd being one of my favorite models. But Sergeants are super cool. I am repainting a bunch of my Dark Angels so I should church up the sergeants a little! I am going to be sure to share this awesome video with all the new people I am going to meet at Adepticon net weekend. I am super pumped!

I gotta say Brother your videos always help me with my Homebrew i can honestly say without your videos there would be no Iron Strategoi

Fragging amazeballs. Refreshing. The Emperor may require details on more chapter sergeants. Before the Inquisition get me.....😁😁

Its descriptions like this, that each astartes is the equivalent of our era's legends, that make me more interested in my custom chapter than my original Tyranid army.

I was extremely excited to see a new Baldemort video, and to my surprise even more excited to see a shot of Multnomah Falls as the background image, that’s like 20 minutes from my house!

Awww yisss, faithful Baldermort with just what I needed on the way home from work! ❤

For Von Valancius!

Princepts of titans are rarer than marines old chap, you even had this in your great story about them😊 but I love your stories so much keep doing them you fantastic man you

Baldermort you wonderful man, thanks so much for all of your sterling work!

Excellent choice of material and coverage, and of course, wonderful story. The problem could have been solved with a bolter, but that wouldn't have satisfied honor or vengeance.

As always a beautiful tale to work on minis too. You are what I consider the standard of a true bard, bringing to life with words places, people and things in our minds and hearts.

Many thanks for this as ever Mr. B. The Sergeants really are the backbone of the Marines, leading by example. Best wishes from Kilkenny.

This is awesome, as a player with a new marines army this has been very informative

Baldermort never fails to amaze us!bravo!

Mmm. A delectable nugget of lore from Baldermort. Sergeants run the Army.

Ah baldemort. The contractor on KZread that I will sit down and listen to marine content, even as an avid xeno lover.

The glue that keeps the companies together

Hey, brother baldy. Another great story! Good to see lots of imagination, and hard work on all the videos and channels over the years. Hope you're having a fun.

This video reminds me of the board game "Space Crusade". Most of the time you had your sergeant left and his fury V so many orks, chaos and mechs.

So happy to hear to hear the praise of the sergeants, the backbone of mankinds efforts. Also thanks to Baldermort's ever great stories and narrations!!!! and for not falling to the easy solution of shitty and inconsistent AI art that so many WH40K channels use now.

Thanks Baldermort

Thank you, Sir, for another great video!

Thanks for all you do

amazing as always!

I bloody love this channel

Thank you , Baldermort . 🐺Loupis Canis .

You're the best man. Love your work.

Thanks for another great one which this time gives me the kick I need to get some illustrations done. With a Balders narration in my ears, I shall know no fear.

Just amazing ❤ your voice is so perfect for Warhammer. I could listen for days. Love you!!

You make an interesting point in the conclusion: every SM is quite likely to make sergeant given enough time and opening slots. This contrasts with my experience and observations of real-life unenhanced 'mortal' militaries, and will inform my lore reading going forward.

Thank you for your greatness!

❤ another amazing story big b and happy belated birthday

Good stuff. Many thanks.

Great video, I hope you continue this series as there are two ranks among the space marines that confuse me, the lieutenant and the veteran sergeant. Now the lieutenant I understand in theory, they are supposed to be the sub commanders of the company that become important if the captain wants to split up the company into smaller formations or take command if the captain dies. Yet, in practice, it more often than not seems as if sergeants almost always take that role with the rank of lieutenant more often than not going unacknowledged. Similarly, the rank of Veteran Sergeant seems to me like it would make the rank of lieutenant redundant since designating a senior sergeant would work just as well for establishing a sub-commander or successor in case the captain dies. What I’m asking is: Is there a nuance to these ranks between the sergeant and the captain that I miss and how come that the rank of lieutenant seems so rarely used in the lore?

Nice story. Thank you for your information video

Always a pleasure. Would love to sponsor one of your videos.

love this like i needed another reason to love the Space Marines :D

Without the Sergeants Space Marines Squad wouldn’t be as effective as the Codex states it could be. Sergeant are vital for the continue success of an war that a Chapter finds itself in, and make no mistake that it is a Sergeant decision and tactical input that makes it possible for a squad to turn the tide of the war.

Wondaba as usual baldemort! my day has been made!

Baldermort, I don't know what it is but you always make really funny and entertaining extremely corrupt and arrogant politician characters.

liked and responded to apeace the chaos god of weird methmatical expectations. Please keep up the good work.

Many thanks Balders.

A captain and a lieutenant for a planet. That was very expensive.

Thank you uncle baldy, its nice to know you get it

Aoenid Theil. Sergeant. Marked for censure. Chad.

Holy shit, did you write that passage. That Sgt was savage ass fuck. For an Ultramarine yoy never expect it

Nice reference to the white death

I know it was just a tiny blerb, but i loved hearing you referenced Simo Häyhä.

The voice acting is so good!

It is said that the word "sergeant" is based on an ancient Latin word... for "babysitter". Consider the requirements necessary to keep base-level Astartes in-line.

Thanks!

We would like to hear that you're undergoing regular scheduled maintenance and renewal.

A sonnet, like Shakespearian sonnet? That should be a patron thing

Thanks

Your amazing man

Every time I listen to this channel I picture the guy from Harry Potter who sells the wands as the voice 😅

Bravo 👏

I don't know, Baldy! Grimdark Sonnets by Baldermort would be awesome!

Cheers Balders.

How's this for a Chapter credo? The galaxy is ever in motion... So too, must we ever be.

Yesssssss!

As an actual ex sgt. Thank you for this one o7

EXELLENT!

Another satisfying story...

Love you Unk.... No! LETS go Unk!!!! Never fold

Most important phrase in an army "carry on Sargent "

FAAAALLL IN!!! YOU WILL STAND YOUR GROUND!!! (morale restored)

Why does the video on sergeants have a lieutenant as the thumbnail?
