Lamenters Story 

"A warriors that doesn't admit his losses dosen't deserve to speak of his victories" that's a quote I can live by

"we hated with an intensity reserved usually for love" what a wildly powerful line

The Imperium genuinely doesn't deserve the Lamenters.

"For those we cherish, we die in Glory!" [Starts crying]

"To lament... it means to mourn. I was a lamenter once" It gave me chills

4:00 “I’m losing my course, I apologize.” I love so much! It makes it feel like I’m listening to an actual Lamenter who was asked to tell a story of himself and his legion.

The thing that is telling here, what makes him a true Lamenter, is when he talks about the Mortificators. He is not angry at them because they were superstitous and despised the Lamenter Chapter. That he can take and move on from. He despises them because they left the people of Corillia alone. The Lamenters were reduced horribly in number but if the Mortificators had stayed and helped protect the civilians, he would have been fine with that. But the people suffered and this he cannot forgive. Before the Badab war, a Space Hulk with a psychic madness aura of great scale approached a hive world. It already caused scores of deaths, murders, and other horrors, it had to be stopped if the world were to survive at all. However, no ships could approach without risking themselves, even Astartes were affected, and so they could only do long range shots. Except the Lamenters went in. And I mean they went IN. They flew into (space scale) close quarters to bombard the thing with all they had while *simultaneously* they sent boarding parties in there to blow up anything important. The Lamenters were still affected and hurt by the aura but, likely because their existence of misery and constant tragedy, they did as they do and powered through it. Eventually the Space Hulk got pulled in the Warp again, with the planet damaged but saved. And then the Inquisition was angry at them because they *didn't do enough*. Was it such a surprise that they stood with the Astral Claws, one of the few chapters that stood proud with them and did not shit on the Lamenters like everyone else?

The Lamenters are a chapter where even the Salamanders look at them and say "damn! they are some stand up guys"

I was angry during the whole video on their behalf but I had to choke back tears at the end.. FOR THOSE WE CHERISH!

"A warrior that does not admit his losses doesn't deserve to speak of his victories!" -Lamenters Chapter Master 🎖I am gutted.

"I could tell you this, each of them died for something greater any of us" Masterful. Sorrow and Honor for my family.

*FOR THOSE WE CHERISH , WE DIE IN GLORY* -Lamentors Chapter Master Malakim Phoros

It’s guys like this that make the idea of grimdarkness so captivating. Despite being victim to some of the worst fates that can befall any loyalist chapter, the Lamenters stood not only by their Imperium, but by the noble ideas of courage and self-sacrifice, and a love of humanity rivaled only by the sons of Vulkan. These men show the core of what 40k is about; that no matter how terrible the world around you is, you must always stand your ground to protect what you love. For if that means your own destruction, than it shall be a glorious death. The only people who have any real chance of fixing the issues plaguing the Imperium are people like the Lamenters, who through their actions, can inspire millions, if not, billions through their spirit, conviction, and actions. If it weren’t for men and women in the setting who hold to similar doctrines as the Lamenters, there would be no hope in the setting. At the end of the day, while the galaxy’s outlook is grim, and the current state of it is enveloped by darkness, there is a fire that shines, defiant against it all; hope. For those we cherish, we die in glory.

What I love about the lamenters is that these story of the thes astartes make you feel the emptiness and the grimdarkness of the universe. They are not the strongest , the more battle efficient, but they are the more human. You just care about the lamenters.

I love that you can literally hear the frustration in his voice, being part of a chapter with such a reputation but unable to do anything about it, beyond doing his duty. Edit: typo

With the Primaris reinforcements, I hope we get to see more about the Lamenters, Sanguinius' Hearts (as I sort of nicknamed them), as well as a story where the Salamanders and Lamenters fight alongside, what an amazing brotherhood those chapters would have. *"For those we cherish, we die in glory"*

MY BOIS 😢 I'm 22 years old, I own a full Lamenters army, and now I'm trying not to cry

That by far was one of the best telling of the story of the lamentors.

I was a Lamenter once... Heartbreaking

My brothers story are being told “for those we cherish we die in glory”

Spoken like a true angel. Also, 'tis good to hear about a marine "retiring" to do humble yet heartfelt charity. More melancholy than a company of Raven Guard, but still trying. *salutes with the sign of the Aquila*

Lament brothers...Never forget.....never let their bravery be unsung in the Emperor's great halls. Their Father Sanguinius knows the loyalty that lay in their hearts. He waits for them now to join the side of his Father. May they find peace in His embrace 🙏. To the Warrior Tier team you guys keep surpassing your limits with grace and perfection. I can only imagine what this Chapter will be this time next year brothers. Cheers to 200k subs! 🥳🍻

The hopelessness in his voice at the end. Just wow.... 😭

For those we cherish, we die in Glory! Happy new year!

Every story that is told on this channel gives me goosebumps about how great the voice acting is and they always tell great stories

The biggest surge of pride I ever felt was knowing the Lamenters survived and have been reinforced through the Primaris. For those we cherish, we die in Glory.

One thing I love about The Lamenters is how many other chapters in their position would've gone renegade or fallen to chaos yet they held out and gritted their teeth before shouting "For those we cherish!"

7:15 Holy shit you can almost physically feel how angry the apothecary is

Such a raw and badass line: “But to look to the means and criticize them can render the ends broken” my goodness! 👍🏻

"For those we cherish, we die in Glory!" For Lamenters, i lament

As others have said, “I was a lamenter, once” is a masterful line after the context provided by the story. Tears once again. Another bit of writing I loved was the question “Do I believe they could have saved every soul?” and is given a response, but “Do I know that In combat a single blade can change the tide of a war?” Isn’t given a response because we already know what this Lamenter believes. Character work on point

By the Blood of Sanguinius, most Noble of spirit and Purest of duty. The Lamenters not only honor their Genesire by their unshakable resolve, but also in Death they Glorify his sacrifice with their own. “For those we Cherish, we die in Glory!”

The emperor smiles on this chapter. One of the most underrated astartes in lore.

For those we cherish, we die in glory they said, yet now, I alone, live in infamy, branded heretic, traitor, coward for doing as the Emperor created created me for. I was a Lamenter once, now I merely lament. This Sir deserves an animation. You have excelled yourself.

Hell this is better than a movie.

I have NEVER heard the Lamenters story told with so much Love and reverence! Absolutely fantastic Brother Tier, absolutely... fantastic!!! Happy New Year Battle-buddie and Happy New Year to all of us. Even the filthy Xenos and heretics,lol.

The blood angels successor chapters are so underrated

the last bit, " i was a lamenter once" made me ball out for a few seconds; I am not ashamed to admit it. beautifully narrated.

This was so deeply good. As a veteran of many combat deployments, I can relate.

Ah my sad vampire boys, it’s awesome you made a vid in them. They are the sorrow and humanity of Sanguineous made manifest. They are so sad they round there way back to livid. These men are truly the salamanders best friends.

The lamenters lives. FOR THOSE WE CHERISH, WE DIE IN GLORY

It took me sometime to realize something. This Astarte. This Apothecary. This Human. This simple man. If he indeed survives. If he survives to the return of Gulliman. If he survives to the reinforcing of his chapter. If he survives to the return of his chapter and his return to it. He fought for humanity and kept his own humanity. He fought on CORILLA and lost so many brothers. He fought in Badab War. He fought in the penitent crusade. He fought the Tyranids. He fought in so many others so forgotten. He remembers them all and mourns the those lost. Finally he lost the fight. The fight for his chapter. The fight for the Imperium. NOT the fight for humanity itself. He fights for humanity not as a soldier, a warrior, a crusader but as an apothecary. He aides the people by helping as a simple man who mourns. A simple man that he may be so, that doesn't matter. What does matter is that he is a good man. One that still holds on to his humanity. One that still Laments Sorry lost my point. If he fight on Corilla and lets say he's narrating at the start of 42nd millennium, then he's means he's over three thousand years old, possibly three and half or even older. That makes him to oldest astarte not in a dreadnought. He's older than Dante chapter master of the Blood Angels. His experience and knowledge would be extremely valuable to the Lord Commanders and the adeptus astartes as a whole.

FOR THOSE WE CHERISH! WE DIE IN GLORY! *cries uncontrollably*

He is the chapter master Feels Mcdontcry. Every video released on this channel is like an exterminatus straight to the feels. He's deep striking Salamanders Terminators in to hug his viewers. Happy New Year man you're a gem.

Dangit whenever Lamenters mentioned i read the wiki and whenever i read the relic parts of *Banner of Tears* my eyes immediately weep

The best loyalist space marines

"But then again...what am i supposed to do? I was a lamenter once." Those words broke my heart. A warrior like an Astartes to feel so helpless.

The Lamenters are a chapter of heroes who are under siege from their curse founding and the thousands of threats that seek to destroy the Imperium and its people, and no one within the Imperium who knows the truth of the Lamenters know that they deserve better, but there is no doubt that their Father the Great Angel is proud of his sons.

For those we cherish, we die in glory!

I have been a fan of the Lamentors for a long time now and I thank you heartily for heaping honors on such a noble band of sanguine sons. For those we *Cherish* we die in *Glory*

For someone who gave too much and lost too many, I hope this Lamenter finds some measure of peace. Bravo storytelling! I felt every word. I lament every sentence...

That's it I'm writing a fanfic where the Lamenters had what they deserved, heroes to all, never to mourn the loss and death of their brothers, and have of the peace they bring to all, you guys are free to search for this piece of alternate story of the Lamenters in the depths of this cursed internet. "For those we cherish, We live in honor and die with glory."

I put off watching the video because I knew I was going to cry. And cry I did. The whirlwind of emotions I went through watching this masterpiece is ineffable. This is one of the best videos from the channel, a hard thing to say, because you excel each time. This is my favorite loyalist legion, and my favorite channel. As always thank you, deeply. Much love, Elena 🖤

This is god tier captures the lamenters perfectly

Salamanders may be the ones I like most, but these true Sons of the Angel are my second choice to fight beside. For in both chapters' hearts they keep a love for humanity so many Astartes abandon. For those we cherish, we die in Glory!

Beautiful, brings a tear to the eye. The narrator really brought the feelings of sorrow and frustration, the helpless despair and injustice heaped upon a noble Chapter.

This is the best and most heartbreaking story I’ve heard.

Damn, this was touching. Lamenters are my favorite.

wait... Was it not already confirmed that the Lamenters are still a functioning chapter? Sure they were on the brink of extinction (twice) But as far as i know they are very much alive and very much deemed loyal.

The level of content is continually surpassed with the stories brought forth. May your success grow and bring many more great videos. We look forward to many more and wish you great things in the future, sir. God bless.

"A warrior who cannot admit his losses doesn't deserve to speak of his victories?!" THESE QUOTES SHALL ONE DAY COVER MY ARMOR OF MY ASTARTES PLATE! Love it all as always!

You constantly produce high quality, rich, in universe story telling dude. You should be so proud of yourself. One of the best Warhammer channels on RU-vid

YES! MY BOYS! THE LAMENTERS!

It’s like listening to a vet of an older war and recalling the history of his/her unit; the fondness of comradely, bootcamp stories, and even battles or moments where they lost those said comrades. The Lamenters chapter is a sad story and I am gladdened to see their story told through the eyes of an actual Lamenter. “I was a Lamenter once” perfectly said my friend please put out more chapters and maybe some more Imperial Guard?

Top tier vid. Bringing 40k to life. Not with constant upping of scale but with focus on the individual.

Again with those feels . Amazing work . Emperor protect you brother

Always come back to this video just to hear “Do you know the word….lament”. So powerful

Dude. Thank you so much for this. I don't think there's anybody in the game right now that is breathing this kind of life into the universe. You're hot as freshly fired bolt and your aim is true. I truly wish you the best in this new year.

The chapter with a bleeding heart. My favorate chapter for its love and care in such a hopeless world that only wishes to see its marines suffer.

What's so great about this story is you don't even need to know Warhammer 40k to enjoy it it increases the level of enjoyment but if you.listened to this without knowing anything about Warhammer 40k the story would still be emotional and gripping. It's that damn good of a video.

This was absolutely amazing, by far the best justice done towards the lamenters. I remember recommending them when i first came to your channel on tiktok, as i’m sure many others did, and its great to see them shown as the nobles heroes that they are

Both the writing and delivery are superb. This is the Lamenters to a T. Absolutely brilliant

For those we cherish, we die in Glory! Thank you, Warrior Tier, for your passion and your efforts.

"To look to the means and criticize them can render the ends broken"

I'm a fan of your channel. But I always wonder what it is like for the narrator to order McDonald. "On this day, sever of burgers, my brothers and I wish to partake in a meal, and by the Emperor's name, we shall have it!"

Absolutely heart wrenching. The depths of the drama that is 40k never seize to amaze me. Fantastic read!

“There are no good guys in 40k” The lamenters: hold my beer lad.

0:10 that one guardsman casually carrying an M2 .50 cal on his shoulders like an absolute chad

They were indeed cursed… cursed with an unwavering kindness and bravery that was lacking in many astartes even with impossible odds against them. For those they cherished they died in glory.

That was such a epic story made me come to tears . Really loved your every piece of art that you bring forth brother .

Thankyou. Let us pray that when the Imperial forces do find our 'Earth', it is The Lamenters !! "We come in peace " ❣

A 2,000+ year old space marine lamenter continuing his life of self sacrifice. The thought of such a noble warrior baking bread for the impoverished, knowing that what they fight for is true and pure yet failing. Finally becoming a renegade for the sake of the imperium. For those we cherish, we die in glory.

How many times have you watched this? Me: Yes

One of the most saddest space marine chapter 😢

For someone who has played the Lamenters for over 15 years. I approve this video. May the duties of the Lamenters inspire hope and passion for the Imperium of man.

A retired space marine. Now I've heard everything. I was gonna say he broke the service ending in death rule, but then I realized, he's still serving. And lamenting.

This is why I subbed, This is why I pledge myself to Patreon! The feeling you get when you watch and listen to this voice. It beckons my attention and it has it! Another wonderful piece and thank you!

Today is the first time I heard of Lamenters (new to 40K lore). Don't need to know about any other chapter, this is my favorite one.

A great speach, especially the beginning

That Was Awsome.Lamenters are mine Nr1 Chapter :)Good Job.. it sounds like i imagine Lamenter Space Marine would have sound and express his devotion to his Duty/Mission/Service to the Emperor and Humanity.

A pox upon the Mortificators! And I lament alongside those valiant souls!

I really hope things change for these guys

This voice! 😳 This magnificent voice! 🤩 Why have I only Just now found this channel?…. Brilliantly done and masterful work. And if you did a collab with Baldermort…. I think the world might be cured of all that ails it.

Legit this shit is better written then everything on warhammer+ holy shit man. Also my poor poor sweet boys. You deserved so much better. This is why the lamenters are my absolute favorite chapter. For those we cherish!

I'm a Dark Angel through and through in my heart but i feel i can make a little room for the Lamenters May they never be forgotten and may there Sacrifice be inscribed alongside there Gene Fathers

Oh man, what a story! Very well told!

My favorite video from you and my favorite chapter. Thanks for your work.

0:14 the guardsman with the 41st millennium version of the M2 .50 cal is a bad SOB. Carrying the barrel and reciever as one, up hill, for a long distance is some big man work. Usually it takes three guys to carry the reciever, barrels, and the tripod. I love this.

The sheer hopelessness and misery in his voice towards the end was heartbreaking.

Finally got a chance to listen to this, stunning! Falling in love with your work brother.
