I just realized. This is literally a SPONSOR-SHIP.

"Battle barge" was designed to be said in Baldermorts voice

Best 40k void ship game is battlefleet gothic 2. Shame Tindalos Interactive or Focus Home Interactive didn't sponsor this glorious voice.

No apologies needed, Baldy. Plus your delivery wasn't cringey at all.

For more history on the 1st of earth's void craft see the movie Event Horizon.

"We don't want slaves." says the Servitor.

Captain: "Tech-priest, what do you know about Port Maw" Tech-priest: 13:43 "This object takes up 383.5 megabytes of memory and is composed of 3,003,912 polygons" Captain: "It boggles the mind"

Present day navy: Battleships?! They're obsolete! Aircraft carriers are the future of naval warfare Navy of the 41st millennium: That's where you're wrong heretic!!

1:05 you blindsided us again. GOSH DARNIT

Reminds me of that meme about size comparison between the Imperium and Star Trek Federation. "Where's Your Federation Now?"

Ah, floating space cathedrals. I feel at home.

Killed it once again, Baldy. The scale of these ships, to someone with full knowledge of how big ships currently are, is immense. I served on a Nimitz Class carrier. It stretched ~300 meters or so. The smallest of these ships is 8 KILOMETERS long. In other words, 26 times longer, and significantly wider than an aircraft carrier. Which weighs in at 103000 tons.

MFW I realise that all the Imperiums Ships have Rams in their hulls. Therefore 40K ships can MELEE🤯

i love 40k humans battleships they look like a church in space but when you look closer you realize its holy death machine of utter destruction

This is what 40k was to me growing up - still is. The Navy, the Rogue Traders, the absurdly large ships. BFG was the coolest thing I have ever seen, after it's death, I found FFGs Rogue Trader and fell in love all over again. Gothic Cathedrals with beautiful figureheads LARGER than the frigates that protect them - swoon! I may be a "lesser fan" for not giving 2 shits about the table top, but someone has to love the big girls too! These ships are just gorgeous and I adore any chance to gawk at every fine detail (love that they don't skimp on detail just cause its big). Best of all, the stories and lore are less blighted with the deus ex marines. The battles are epic and you can't go into them knowing beforehand who will win.

I'm so pleased he addressed ramming SP-EE-D directly

Proof: if you ain't human, you wrong.

Best sponsor segue ever

I wish the BFGA2 people would release DLC campaigns for the other races like the Tau or Orkz, or even something for the Imperium in a different place/time It's such a good game and I want more.

"The Emperor expects each man to do his duty" Ennnnnd QUOTE.

I'm now disappointed that Baldermort doesn't actually voice the Chaos Lord in the game.

Look at the beatiful Aquila on that Battleship.

Ahh we get too talk about ships from the Imperial navy *"The most beautiful and Fat Army of the Imperium"* and how they Implement extensive hygiene measures on the Aliens and infidels.

The amount of videos has made my quarantine especially enjoyable, thank you most humble servant.

That sponsorship transition was smoother than even the highest quality whiskey.

That was by far the most entertaining World of Warships advert ive seen so far.

I want a Retribution class ship

This whole vid he was taking shots at other sci-fi because of their more “civilized” or should I say prissy way of fighting not willing to sacrifice and stand ground and ram as much as the imperium. Well played sir, well played. My lord is willing to give you a medal for best shots fired

Excellent job Balders, me aul mukka! Respect from Belfast 🇬🇧

"A warship has several would-be masters, but only one captain, Semper remembered his mentor, Admiral Haasen, once saying. To be in true command of your vessel you must show your crew that you are the only master that matters." - From the memories of Captain Leoten Semper, latter Commodore-Captain of the Battle Fleet Gothic. “Semper to battle-group. To arms, gentlemen. Let us tend to the Emperor’s garden,” he ordered, knowing that he was about to prove once and for all his right to wear those new rank epaulettes on his shoulders. The Macharius powered forward, its gargantuan plasma engines spilling out a fire cloud trail in its wake. To its starboard lay the Gothic-class cruiser Drachenfels, an old and dependable comrade vessel, and the Dauntless-class light cruiser Triton. Triton’s sister ship Mannan and the Lunar-class cruiser Graf Orlok, an old but less dependable comrade vessel, were arrayed to the Macharius’s port side, while the Dominator-class cruiser Fearsome flew within the arrow-head formation formed by the other cruisers. It was the clenched fist inside the armoured gauntlet, its deadly prow-mounted nova cannon weapon aimed at the heart of the ork forces. Accompanying it were the escort carriers Vengeance of Belatis and Memory of Briniga, merchantmen transports converted to military use and named after just two of those many Imperial worlds which had been destroyed during the war..." - "The Victus stretched out below Balthiel like an armoured continent. The Flesh Tearers’ flagship was a colossal vessel. Teeming with weaponry, it was possessed of a near-impenetrable hull, wrapped in miles-thick slabs of ceramite armour. By the Victus’ guns had the populace of a thousand worlds died, its lance batteries boiling away their atmospheres as its seismic torpedoes shattered their tectonic plates." “Good Hunting, Macharius.” They were the first words that anyone had heard spoken aloud on the bridge of His Divine Majesty’s Ship, the Lord Solar Macharius for hours. There was no such thing as silence on an Imperial Navy warship, where the decks shook with the ever-present rumble of the massive plasma engines and every corridor, work-bay and compartment echoed with the sounds of the more than ten thousand specimens of toiling, sweating humanity that made up its crew. Still, the mood aboard the Dictator class cruiser was eerily quiet, and even here on the bridge the command crew spoke only in muted whispers as they relayed orders and status checks between themselves and over the internal comm-net to hundreds of other points throughout the ship..." "The Deathwatch battle-barge Victorious Son dwarfed the Fatal Redress. Spanning over five miles of void-black iron, the titanic warship was nearly five times the size of Artemis’ vessel. Spires and crenellations ran down her spine, bristling with weapons batteries, ending at its distinct hammerhead prow. Its bombardment cannons perched on dorsal turret mounts, potent weapons capable of levelling entire cities with a single shot from orbit. A trio of support craft, each the size of the Fatal Redress themselves, peeled off from their escort positions around the Victorious Son, making a pass around Artemis’ ship. Instruments and tactical hololiths on the bridge crackled with interference as the escorts conducted deep auspex scans before, seemingly satisfied, they returned to their designated support formation...."

I apologize baldermort but i cant hear you over the sound of how i am going to ram my 10000 year old ship against heretics

Actualy ramming another space ship is a great space combat strategy, an escort could do horific damage to a much larger ship. There is no such thing as a unarmed spaceship as a spaceship itself is a weapon,

I would absolutely love to hear Baldermort read Lady Gaga or Cher lyrics. That shit would be hilarious! 😂

Love the delivery! Your affection for the fluff shines through and is utterly infectious. Well done!

Just bought battlefleet gothic in the steam sale so this couldn’t have dropped at a better time 😀

Cool video! Always liked the sheer scale of these colossal vessels

Damn Baldy can even sell scrap with his voice.

The Imperial Navy has safeguarded the Imperium for the last past ten thousand years of rule, and fought against every threat that could bring destruction to mankind. The Imperial Navy is the vital part of the Defense of our Glorious Imperium and every crewmen, pilot and captain sacrifice will forever be remembered by the faithful.

That sponsor introduction was pure gold, as the whole video. Thank you as always brother Baldermort! I know that with all the new subscribers you will no longer be able to respond to all the comments like in the past, but I accept this reality with a proud smile. The inesorable growth of the most beloved of the Emperor's servants is truly deserved!

I picture Baldermort looking over a list of impressive and mighty battleships spanning across the different races. Then he gets to the orks and peers at what looks to be a pile of tires and a 1987 Nissan Pulsar (painted red of course). "Ah, yes, even orks have ships...I think?" Love the video!

I always imagined working abroad 40k's ships to be scary, dim lights, creepy gothic architecture, the guy in the red robes keeps stroking the the pipes on the wall. But it could be worse I could be abord a Dark Eldar ship

Baldermort, you have the best, most evocative, most gripping narrative voice I’ve ever heard. Thank you for your incredible content. The Emperor Protects!

Oh Lord Balermort, you are truly a blessed presence in this uncertain time of ours. I have to say, your sponsorship plugs should be _studied_ as an outstanding example of "how to do advertisements". I'm glad you're doing well enough to make them a rare occurrence and really can't wait for what comes next for your channel!

I am very happy sponsors are noticing you. You totally deserve it.

This is probably the only ad i will ever watch all the way through and actually enjoy.

Good Baldermort, I have recently been playing your vids for a few friends of mine that have zero interest in Warhammer 40k. Your style and storytelling have them in awe. They asked me to write this in thanks. For my part, Thank you again for making my day better. I'm off to have fun. Jon Stack

Brother Baldermort many thanks yet again ur an absolute legend keep up the amazing work as always :)

Your advertising transitions are getting smoother and funnier. The stories that accompany the lore videos are as interesting as ever

Glad you enjoyed my video so much and decided to feature it here same as thumbnail. Wish i could have been sponsored as you are... keep up the good work sir

That intro Baldermort. Pure gold, and great segway into the sponsor. 😆

I cant wait for this series to kick off, also a suggestion, you should reach out to Spacedock for a calab if at all possible. I think that would be epic if it happened.

Ah the battleship. Even in the 42nd millennium, they still are the kings of combat!

You do make even integrated ads entertaining, if you aren’t approached to do audio books or other vo/va work it will be a crime! As a fan of the age of sail and the ships of the imperium, and agreeing there isn’t as much out there about them as there should be, I love hearing you talk about them and look forward to hearing more about the ships of the imperial navy and rogue traders from you soon.

That has got to be the best sponsor tie-in I have ever seen

I am a huge fan of the Imperial Navy, I was really happy about this video, it was super enjoyable. My fingers crossed for Battle Fleet Gothic coming back to the table top! I just love the design and massive size of 40K's battle ships. Also sadly very few people cover Navy lore for 40K, I think it's you and Grim dark Narrator, more ship lore the better!

Speaking of slug feats, the Tyranids excel at this, as they have ships whose sole purpose is to slam into an enemy ship and die, slowing their victim for the much larger and terrifying bioships with lashing tendril, hull melting acid, and crushing jaws. The Great Devourer doesn't mess around in space combat.

Great artificer of words, craftsman of content, we are honored by your presence. I personally greatly enjoy these videos.

I laughed heartily at your segway, very nicely done, I'm happy you are getting paid for your superb work.

Your read of the sponsorship was absolutely amazing! No words can express my absolute awe for this!

I've been on the flagships Missouri and Texas. Amazing Dreads.

Great video...and stunning ships. Love the Gloriana myself...20km long and only 20 ever made with each as different from one another as the Primarchs which they were to serve as their flagships. Quite liked Perty's blocky design for his.

I gotta say baldermort this add is better than the RSL adds. At least with this one it dose have some relevance to warhammer. Warships while not the space kind. But the fact that there are these two new gems added in. I play the game myself and have Ignis Purgatio.

Holy crap that was the best advertisement I've ever seen. I hope WoW and W40K can appreciate what you bring to the game...see what I did there, bringing to a game...WELL, it sounded great!

Good thing that you make this adds. Total fine to hear them in your awesome voice.😉👍

Love the way you worked in the sponsorship into part of your usual excellent content, well done Baldy!

Love the Imperial Navy. I feel it’s a bit underrated and needs more Lore and fluff. Great Video 👍. Glad to see World of Warships as a sponsor.

This is great timing. I have been trying to flesh out the ship that my Inquisitor character inherited from her predecessor and this video has helped clarify many things. I look forward to more naval videos.

I laughed so hard when you went "I see a messsage FROM OUR SPONSORS!" and the Here-Sea joke. There's just something to it that killed me with laughter. Great video as usual! Small Request: Please go full "Rule Imperium! The Imperium rules The Void" when you do The Imperial Navy. I can only wishfuly and hpefuly imagine how epic a rendition of "Rule Britannia" adapted to the Warhammer 40K universe by you could be

That was the most perfect transition into a sponsorship I’ve ever seen. Kudos to you, Baldy!

Baldemort, I have two words for you, psychic titans Do with them what you will

oooooooh I'm a little excited for THIS series! So much combat takes place in "the void", but you hear about it seldomly as compared to ground combat on planet.

Whenever you do a sponsor it's not like other RU-vidrs that just read the script, you actually make it interesting and something that I would usually skip instead captivates me.

Thank you for the post add interjection. Nice to know they won't be the norm and why you need to do them, plus it was entertaining. Keep up the amazing content.

so i was thinking Jean luke Picard was probably a captain during the dark age of technology.

Oh yes. Always splendid to wake up and have a Baldermort video to watch with my morning coffee. Also loved the end there where it assembled the model of a battleship.

That sponsor transition was spectacular. Well played good man!

This was a delightful episode, can hardly wait for more:)

That was Best commercial I’ve ever heard

Our dude Baldermort getting those epic sponsorships. Great video as always 😀

Thank goodness, that diminutive Vindicare hit the neighbour instead! I live to watch another Baldermort video for another day!

That sponsor... it was perfection I’ve never been caught off guard and please by the suprise I’mma download world of warships with your link thank you!

Once again you provide your fans with information and entertainment that keep getting better and better, wishing you good health and a bright future

Brother Baldemort! You took my advice! And it was brilliant! Thank you for this excellence my good Epistolary!

1:16 shut up and take my money

“A word from our sponsors” was they absolute be transition I’ve ever seen/heard. The second message was of more use 😂😂😂

That word from your sponsors made me jump well played brother well played

Nice vid :) Not sure why its never brought up in vids about Imperium Battleships, but rather than Royal Navy stuff, they're more actual Space Triremes (hell, even the Emperor's own ship, Bucephalus (probs misspelled) is named for Alexander the Great's horse). If you look at them in profile and ignore all the gothic bells and whistles, they have the same profile as Greek Triremes, right down to the ram :)

That ad intro was incredible XD

SKULLS FOR THE SKULLTHRON BLOOD FOR THE BLOODGOD MORE SLAUGHTER IN THE COOOLD

bom bom..ramming speed. that was good

Brother Baldermort - I am happy beyond words for you getting this sponsorship. You give us something so fantastic, it's only right we give back. I am excited to see what will come together next, but I am also more at peace from listening to your words on difficult nights.

Emperor class Battleships would tear through Imperial class Star Destroyers like paper. ISDs are the size of Dauntless light frigates.

Best World of Warship advertising

Hey when battleship Rams you full speed and just eats up everything you throw at it, it is quite demoralizing moment.

Command of Terras navy has to be a descendant of Nelson

Dun! Dun! Ramming SPEEEED!

“Fast, nimble ships nip in and out, and spin about”. Primaris T’challa of the Black Panthers Space Marine Chapter, “We don’t do that here.”

u know things are serious when the standard ammo for these space cathedrals are schoolbus size or larger

Fantastic video Uncle B Gratz on the sponsor I'm sure they're overwhelmed by the quality of your ad. Oh I get it Horus HERE-SEA you're a comedic genius, forgive the lack of laughter as I fear if I started my side's would split :-p
