Lorgar monologue before Armatura 

Magnus: “Dude. I just came here to tell you dad wanted us to be home by eight.”

during the entire conversation Magnus was slowly backing away.

If only Lorgar had realized that he could change the warp by making people smile.

Magnus: "Maybe the Council of Nikaea had a point"

The VA really sells Lorgar's half-fascination, half-terror as to what's coming.

Lorgar greatest gift his is passion, its stronger than Angrons rage or Fulgrims confidence, it literally set mankind aflame

I love how absolutely insane he is but also terrifyingly coherent.

This is what I love about the Word Bearers. They don't inflict torment just to get a sadistic kick out of it, though I'm sure they get that too. There's an actual purpose behind it. And that makes it so much more horrific. There's something almost paradoxically scientific in how inflicting pain causes a reaction in the Warp which can then be coaxed into achieving a desired result in the material realm. There are rituals, true names, amulets and tomes of forbidden knowledge. It's primitive superstition made reality. Which is so much more fascinating than the sterile Imperial dogma of "Psykers act as conduits to channel the energies of the Warp".

My experience with the lore channels is Lorgar getting insulted, dunked on, ignored, belittled... then Jonathan Keeble speaks Dembski-Bowden's words, visualized by you.... oh shit. This guy is dangerous.

Man, when Lorgar fell, he fell with every last fibre of his being, channelling his every last shred of self over to the worship and service of the Ruinous Powers, as only he could. It was his realisation of purpose that he embraced as completely as he once embraced service to the God-Emperor... ironically proving his nihilistic brother Curze correct; "Death is nothing compared to vindication"

Lorgar is often be dunked-on for not being the best fighter, or being a runt of the litter. But he's probably among the most fucking dangerous of the primarchs.

That...was an *astonishingly* good voice and read for Lorgar. Holy hell.

that voice crack when he says million million gives me shivers and adds weight to the magnitude of the sheer numbers of deamons

Whoever voiced this just brought it to life. The silent passion in every word is so entoxicating.

That was fantastic. Lorgar sounds spot on. Soft voice, but still powerful. I always like it when I hear something from the Primarchs, and the voice sounds just right. I always believed Lorgar had a soft, pleasant voice, one you wanted to listen to, like a pastor's or a diplomat's.

This was all really well done and the art and music was beautiful my dude. I honestly really love how in bliss Lorgar looks and sounds as he's describing what he's doing. Which is essentially "Look Magnus, look at all of this genocide and wanton slaughter, Angron and our legions are committing and going to commit! Isn't it wonderful?" It really shows just how much Lorgar fell, a man who used to care for mankind and want to raise everyone up to believe that his father was a God and that they could all be like him to a mass murderer braying at his restraints and sanity letting his sons, his own sons become hosts to nightmares and unleashing them upon helpless people. Top notch work my dude

I love the part when he says "Tell me you feel it"- the tone Keeble puts on the line, something between begging and demanding, really makes it feel like Lorgar is almost seeking validation in his beliefs from Magnus.

The best "Moustache Twirling" moment in all of 40k for sure. Keeble captures Lorgar so perfectly, on the verge of religious hysteria, borderline (?) madness. I do think this video misses out on the best part of that scene though, just a few moments later. "That, is the Blessed Lady." "You built two..." "Oh no. I built three."

The Word Bearer closed his eyes and lifted his hands - a conductor before an orchestra in those tense, edged moments before the first note is struck. ‘The warp is a song, brother. Let me play a verse for you.’

Lorgar is a super underrated primarch like no he isn't a fighter but if your into chops he is extremely important maybe they should have made him a more powerful psyker

I might not be the biggest fan of Lorgar but god damn this is a stunning piece of work! …Two months later and all of a sudden I have a growing Word Bearers army. I swear this video planted seeds of chaos.

You know the villain is scary when their monologue sounds like a MeatCanyon video.

One of the favorite primarch, this music that you picked and narrator. It so beautiful, that gives me goosebumps. So good!

Gotta be honest, I always felt bad for Lorgar before his fall..and even after. Maybe, it's a because I am a spiritual person, but his story and downfall was always a tragic as Magnus. Plus, I think he was right about the Emperor. The Emperor is a god. Maybe not on the same level as the ruinous powers, but a god nonetheless. The Emperor claims not to be a god, that there was no such thing as the supernatural, or gods, etc. But all that? It was lie. The Emperor is a very powerful manifestation of the supernatural, from his physique, to his intellect, to his charisma. For crying out loud, he could change his shape and when he would reveal him form it was often a titan of a man in golden, gleaming, and ornate armor. There's also hints that he may have in fact influenced the religions of Earth before it was Terra. Perhaps he tried to unite the world under a religion and it didn't work so he tried to drastically over-correct. Heck, he is still trying to steer Humanity like a god, but even more directly. He wanted to be the example that all humans could strive and look too. Couple that with his reality-bending powers, he is a living god of humanity. But the Imperial Truth was always a blatant lie, because the Warp/The Realm Of Souls had already existed eons before him. His existence and powers came directly from it. There already existed another layer of reality full of both wonder and danger. Instead of properly trying to warn humanity about it, it's danger, and how it could harness, changed, and made into a better place...he tried to cover up it's existence entirely. Often violently. He thought he could starve out the Chaos Gods via denying and abolishing faith. This was incredibly foolish because it is not faith that powers the Chaos Gods, but the extreme (often negative emotions) that came with sapient existence. He could've used the faith and hope people had in him, and channeled it even further. Yes, there is always the dangers to fanatical faith and zealous dogmatism, no doubt. There are things to criticize about how and when religion and faith is rampantly abused. But to deny that the supernatural and gods exist when it's often demonstrably (atleast in 40k) very real? Did the Emperor think he could cover that up forever? Did he think he would one day reveal that the Imperial Truth was a farce and people would still have faith in him or his system? That many wouldn't feel betrayed by this? Lorgar saw what was blatantly obvious about the Emperor, he was/is a god. What humanity should aspire to be. He thought his father was the pinnacle of benevolence, wisdom, and brilliance. Something that was innate in all of mankind despite their follies and flaws. Instead he was spurned by the one he considered to be his creator and lord. Not only was he spurned, it was done so with needless cruelty and loss of innocents who did nothing wrong but worship the Emperor, love him, and find meaning in their lives thanks to him. It's no wonder Lorgar turned to Chaos. It doesn't excuse the Primarch's own atrocities, true. Yet it's completely understandable how and why he fell. It's tragic.

Even as someone who constantly makes a mockery of Lorgar and his sons, I've got to admit this is some of the best artwork combined with some of the best voiceover work I've seen.

You know i get chills when he says "Call it...the warp"

1:05 little known fact when lorgar cry's its from his left eye, symbolically if you cry from your right eye its joy however if its from your left eye it means pain. (both=frustration)

Even though I have not listened to his book yet, I can imagine that Magnus is listening to his brother and is genuinely horrified at what his brother is becoming. Lorgar was one of the brothers that Magnus was fairly close with, so I can picture it in my mind that Magnus is listening to Lorgar speak and is questioning that madness and pain which has taken hold of his brother. How he has fallen so completely into the hands of the ruinous powers, there is nothing he can do, even if he tried. The man before him truly isn’t his brother anymore, but a zealot gone mad because of the rejection of his faith, faith to a being that he saw not only as his father, but as a true god.

i love the audiobook narrators so much. They really did picked the good voices.

Genuinely, this is the first time I've heard something read from Warhammer literature that makes the corruption of the warp seem actually intoxicating. The voice sounds to tender and sincere that it makes the Daemonic incursion seem good.

Its moments like this that remind me why I love 40k so much

Keeble is a damn good narrator, but the music choice really kicks this up a notch. Beautiful. I don’t even care for Lorgar much, but this was mesmerizing.

LORGAR: Monologues Magnus: "Brother, did you forget to take your medication again?"

He's .....gone mad. How he speaks, how he refers to all of it. He has gone mad.

Absolutely beautifully done Johnathan Keeble! Lorgar is a perfect character for artists with real potential.

I'm one third into this book, and it's one of the best pieces of literature I've read. Honestly I didn't expect Warhammer 40k to have such an exquisitely descriptive narrative, and beautiful dialogues like these.

This is the truest understanding the the warp as I see it, it cannot be so controlled only directed like a Maestro

Magnus: “Lorgar, what the fuck are you talking about?”

Just the sound of his voice makes me want to join Chaos

If we ever get Daemon Primarch Lorgar, I hope he's the best support piece in the game. Buffing his allies and debuffing his enemies is his superpower among the Primarchs.

Magnus is slowly eating ruffles chips in the background, trying not to chew too loudly.

Me when I first heard this: Wow, that was very poetic, Lorgar... Poetic and fucking insane, you megalomaniac.

Magnus: I need a priest rn… Lorgar: I AM a priest!

Always liked his son Argel Tal more, but hot dang if Lorgar wasn't technically right...he just never thought to impact the warp in a different way. In the backwoods theology of 40k where the created create the Divine, he really could have focused in on that and turned the warp into a tool and mirrored deathworld to house the souls of living beings, rather than falling to temptations and peer pressure Faith is a necessary component of humanity. In the end everyone devotes themselves unto something finding their fulfillment in it. Those who don't see it are true slaves to it. Believe there is an old saying, "you can't truly subjugate the willing"

magnus; 2 weeks ago you didnt know about the warp and now youre a expert.

Soft, warm, yet full of passion and charisma, truly fit with lorgar

Emperor: "Yo, why do you have to talk like a Batman villain?" Lorgar: "Hath not the light deserved it's time it twain wi--"*Is interrupted by Monarchia getting glassed from orbit*

Magnus: Bro, I just sat down! Who the fuck starts a conversation like that?

Awesome work! You captured the best primarch perfectly. I’d love to see you do the part where Magnus says “you built two abyss ships?” And Lorgar replies “no, I built three”

I love the smell of Ruinstorm in the morning.

Keeble is such an amazing narrator, you can hear the reverence turn to madness in his voice

Jonathan Keeble is such a great voice actor, Hes the reason I love Jack of Blades from Fable so much.

Man drops one of the hardest Horus Heresy videos and never posts again. What a legend.

Lorgar needs more, I mean he's the weakest in combat yet he's the one who effectively created The Imperium at present that worships The Emperor as a god and is slowly technologically regressing. Out of anyone, he's done far more damage to the setting than any other character including Horus. Horus only fell because the Word Bearers made it so.

Jonathan Keeble is a fucking legend, dude.

"Riggggghhhht... I gotta go make a quick call to Dad, one sec... ." - Magnus

This is why Lorgar and Perty are my favorite traitors. Perty carried the traitors militarily. If he stayed during the seige of terra, the traitors would have won. Lorgar, however, planted the seeds of corruption from the beginning, turned Horus towards chaos, and indirectly created the imperial cult, leading to mankind’s technological stagnation. Out of all the traitors, Lorgar was the most dangerous.

I want an animated series of the chaos primarchs doing stuff together with this art style. I really like seeing lorgar's theology/philosophy

"..... Bruh" Said Magnus in confusion.

As painfully as ADB can write loyalists good gods can he write chaos

Is it weird that out of all the Primarchs that Lorgar probably scares me the most? Most of the Primarch are scary simply because their massive guys in power armor who can turn me into a literal stain with barely a thought. Kurze is higher on the scary list than most because he'll make you suffer unimaginable pain via torture before you die. The Daemon Primarch's are *even higher* because they could grab your immortal soul and "play" with it. But Lorgar would probably send the entire galaxy into the warp, have Daemons eating the souls of literally *every* living being and as the everything becomes a swirling mass of pure chaotic madness he'd give a satisfied smile thinking he's done something good.

‘There, a ship burns in Latona’s atmosphere, the cries of the doomed souls echoing into the empyrean. And there, a warship ploughs into the surface of Ulixis, digging its own grave, taking a hundred thousand souls shrieking into the afterlife. Do you hear them dying, Magnus? Do you hear the song shifting in time to their extinguished essences?

I think Lorgar is the scariest Primarch because of his insane need for faith that he would serve objectively evil gods as long they were "gods" In his own mind faith cant be evil. Its like if you wanted to be an architect and your dad forced you to be a business man and then a satanist said hey Lorgar you can be my architect but the only mortar you can use is the blood of tortured children. To me Lorgar represents the danger of repression and someone coming along and offering you a taste of something you dont even understand like a child being introduced to videogames or candy. I think to Lorgar the idea of building a faith and serving higher powers is like a drug.

Magnus: sorry I was thinking about destroying the space wolfs, were you talking about destroying the space wolfs?

pure definition of the word "Charisma"

The Urizen recieves love! Praise Chaos, Let your soul be joyous for the Great Song.

"Calth was an act of self defense." Chaos Worshipper

Keeble is so unbelievably good. Betrayer should have won awards for the performance.

as much as erebus and corferon (definetly spelled that name wrong) were already corrupted/evil, if the Emperor wasnt such an idiot Lorgar would have been the most loyal of his followers, fanatic yes but he would have definetly have his uses. But alas, critical thinking and reasoning isnt a part of the 40k Universe and thats why we love it so much.

Magnus: *Slowly steps away*

masterfully voice acted he really sounds like he finally realised it all and finally saw the path to heaven

Now we need all epic speeches of others evil daddies And special “Let the Galaxy burn” moment

I honestly hope you do more of these, the art just makes the dialogue so much better

Lorgar. My hero.

First piece of media to make me consider playing Chaos. Good fuckin' job.

Me, a massive Word Bearers fan listening to this: "Oh yeah thats right, forgot we were the bad guys for a second."

Simply a beautiful performance of Lorgar's and excellent art to match.

Magnus leaves the room and lorgar keeps going

this guy is crazy man, and what’s crazier is he knows it lmao

Lovely work from the narrator. And I like how my eyes come across.

I had no idea Lorgar was the idea man behind the Fyre Festival.

Honestly the word bearer / lorgar focused books are probably the best in the horus heresy series. The first heretic was amazing and Betrayer was great!

This was really good. You did a great job matching Lorgar’s emotions through the animation with The voice actor’s tone

Fantastic art! So underrated, the world needs to see this!

Corvus Corax: Yeah, uh-huh, sure buddy. Good luck with that.

The best part is that Magnus is probably just standing there like "What the actual fuck". Explanation: Magnus was still very much loyalist up until the Siege of Terra, He didn't sell his soul and fully join the traitors until after the Siege, literally the only reason he would show up to traitor shit is to see what they were doing.

Gamesworkshop could actually make a fucking incredible Horus Heresy series with like 200 episodes if they just got their fucking heads out of their asses. 40k and 30k have endless potential to be incredible across all media yet due to the incompetent higher ups we are left to do it ourselves.

And that’s when Magnus realized he made a big mistake

1:06 a single tear.

I’ve watched this a many times and the background music is blissful

When the need for a higher purpose takes a dark turn....

I understand everything he talked about. I guess I serve Chaos now

When Logar goes full preacher he becomes terrifying.

Lorgar's been real quiet since Loyalist Crow Daemon Corvus Corax dropped.

The perfect monologue does not exis-

Masterpiece!

My goodness this mans voice *embodied* Lorgar.

I was of the opinion that I hated lorgar. Then I read the first heretic… and I still do. But holy fuck do I appreciate his character so much more. Truly one of the best written villains in science fiction.

This is exactly how I imagine Lorgar's voice. Pure butter to my ears.

This video has made me finally have an ounce of respect for Lorgar
