Son of the Forest - The Lion meets Dante (Spoilers) || Voice Over 

Also HE DO WHAT WITH WHAT?

​@@sentryward8744 one of the best parts of the lion coming back is instantly seeing how tired and wrecked Guilliman is from the responibility, and any grudges about him being a superseding goody two shoes fizzles out quick lol

And in the next 5 minutes Dante witness the lions gray old hair turn golden blond again.

As an Ultrasmurf player, is support this.

@@sentryward8744GUILLIMANNN!!!!

I was thinking this recently, too. With a few more videos I have planned I noticed a pattern of him meeting incredible figures. A truly tragic character but such a spectacular one! Thank you for watching!

I suppose that tends to happen when you're a space marine of his age.

@@placeholder2030 To be fair he's done all of that pretty recently. But his age and accomplishments have led him to those opportunities.

@@RichardStrong86 exactly. Demi gods don’t make time for just anyone hahaha

Including Angron maybe since he fought and nearly died before Lion came to the rescue.

And it has legs!!!!; Robutte: Brother I can explain. The Lion: okay priest how do you drive it

And it has legs!!!!; Robutte: Brother I can explain. The Lion: okay priest how do you drive it

it's literally him because the first time he met the governor of the world he was pissed off because of their faith and stagnation, but he knew he had to be cautious so only more based points for Lion

Yes, because churches aren't supposed to exist in the imperium

@@tinheart2853 Where did this happen?

Plot Armor Strengthened

He's the best space marine still living

I would absolutely love for him to meet The Khan

@@GamerKahn Dante: HOLY FUCKING ANGEL DAD THAT GUY IS FAST AS FUCK Khan: Hello, Sorry Gtg, Killing Morty again *Nyooom*

@@kaiserofkush Dante: "Finally! All of them are here, I have met them, crossed blades with them, spoken to them, fought alongside them. My destiny is fullfilled. Now I can rest" *2nd Primarch kicking in the door* "SUP, BITCHEEEEEESS!!" Dante: "OH FOR FUCK´S SAKE!"

Haha, maybe that is an excerpt I need to put on my 'to Record' list, too! Thank you for watching!

Also Dante: "Why do all these old fucks seemed to get mad at the fact Im wearing my Dads deathmask?"

​@@danielquintonvo that one is one of my favorite excerpts in 40k lore period. The sheer sileny nobility of the king and the barely checked rage in Dante.

@@randallflagg3478 Wonderful! I need to reacquaint myself with it, may take a bit whilst I work on my current recordings but it's certainly going to be a thing I attempt at some point!

@@danielquintonvo when i read an excerpt that strikes me from now on ill comment it or send it to you.. Video quality and especially narration quality is very high and I'm impressed. Like yourself I'm very well read in 40k lore, 30k as well. I'm not suggesting incompetence on your part but there are so many excerpts that would shine brighter than Terra if brought to light with your skills.

mhm, excited to see him lead a larger Imperial force into combat in the future! That will be amazing. Thank you for watching!

The guy could bring planets into compliance during the great crusade by himself, he could build an empire with 60 Space Marines.

and what a threatening force those 60 marines are

You seem to forget that the lion was the only primarch Horus feared facing.

@@tommyclements7360 Horus feared Sanguinius above the Lion for many reasons, he even feared what a chaos corrupted Sanguinius and Blood Angels legion could do. That's why he had plans for Sanguinius to be part as a Nurgle tainted daemon primarch if Sanguinius were to be corrupted. Of all his brothers, Horus wanted Sanguinius on his side but definitely not as a Khorne follower. What he feared most was a loyal Sanguinius or the potential that the chaos gods would make Sanguinius the chaos undivided Warmaster.

I do really hope so too! That would be such a touching moment. Thanks for watching!

Hope it starts with a punch in the face and insults. That’s true brotherhood.

Guilliman starts crying. “I thought I was gonna have to deal with all these morons myself.”

@@tdnstew So very accurate! haha

​@Tyler Stewart Lion: "You don't need to bear this burden alone anymore, little brother. I shall bear this burden with you."

With Sanguinius unlikely to ever come back Dante is almost pulling double duty as the stand in narratively so I do agree, having both of them be so respectful to him is such a fantastic thing! He has truly earned that respect. Thank you for watching!

The Lion wasn’t in stasis so as far as physical age Guilliman is around 500 but Lion is pushing 12000

@@Broomer52 Yeah but he wasn't conscious, Dante is older then all of the Primarchs expect for those that are still active.

@@NastyStankyChicken being in a coma doesn’t freeze you in time

​@Broomer52 really? Oh no he was not in stasis he was sleeping! Yeah that's a big difference...

Absolutely, same! I really didn't like the potential talk of a civil war some people theorised. It's just not a good route for the Imperium at the moment. Some arguing, absolutely! but, I want the first two Primarchs back to just spend a moment being glad their brother is with them! Thank you for watching!

@@danielquintonvo I'm pretty sure Roboute will have a similiar reaction to learning that the Lion is alive, he has wished for his brothers since coming back. Their first meeting should be nothing but positive

@@danielquintonvo Lion REALLY have bigger fish to fry. Luther and his traitors lot is first on his hit list. When G-Man gets words of Lion's return, he would most likely appoint Lion as either Warmaster or Lord Protector and let him go and reclaim Imperial Nihilus.

​@@dyingearth I really want them to keep Dante as Lord Regent of the Imperium Nihilus, then Lion as the Warmaster. Though we will need a reunion scene eventually! It will be so good

@@danielquintonvo one of the point of the novel is that Lion knew he sucked as a ruler. He is a great general, but bad at doing ruling, which is why he sent Luther back to Caliban. He has no desire for Dante's thankless job as the Regent. He just wants to kill the enemies of Imperium, albeit the next big threat is Leviathan in Pacificus Segmentum in the western fringe of the galaxy.

Do not forget Solar Leontus

Yet when compared to Macharius they're all lacking. Cawl should have cloned twenty of him instead reviving these losers and their legions.

@@ChibiViolin Some dialogue involving the Dreamer personality Psycher in Darktide indicates that there’s a darker side to Macharius which hasn’t been revealed yet, as evidently whatever shard of the Emperor is speaking to the Dreamer does NOT like him.

All we need now is for some more loyalist Primarchs to turn up. I think that Russ will be the next son to return and that the Lion will be instrumental in finding him and rescuing him. The Lion would never let him live it down.

​@@kailuunRuss seems logical if we consider, Ultramarines, Dark Angels and Wolves were the three legions rushing to Terra to save the defenders, and it would make for a great narrative that primarchs that were late are the ones to lead the caricature of their father's dream, but if we consider the hints GW has been dropping, the next one will be Khan or Corax

I deem Dante an unofficial primarch at this point. Yeah he was seen as the psuedo primarch but that don’t matter now, one seeing his deeds are absolutely endless to a point it’s impossible to keep a full record of and the other with just a single look knows he’s been through more hell then any other space marine to ever live. On top of that both pretty much view Dante as the closest representation of sanguinius, they might as well say he is one of them

"I have fought what you must fight, and I have slain what you must slay... so fear not and be proud, for we are the sons of Sanguinius, the protectors of Mankind. Aye, we are indeed the Angels of Death." Dante

@@Sterben_knightGuilliman referred to Dante as the only one he had met in 40k who he felt could speak with him as an equal.

isn't big shark boi older than him?

@@Mr._Galaxywide bigger, not older

It's not sculpting. The Blood Angels place a mask over their fallen brethren whenever one dies. It quite literally magics into their face. Kinda creepy, kinda cool.

It is black, because he has been reborn and the new Primaris physique has restored much of his vitality. But it has a hint of white, because even the new treatment cannot hide the age of the body.

Mhm, I think as someone else pointed out it's thanks to him crossing the rubicon, his visuals have been rather inconsistent over time though certainly, I'd love to get, even just a vague, image of what he looks like now. and, thank you for watching!

There was a comic that showed Dante without his mask. And he had LOTR Elven hairstyle and it being shown to be jet black. So at least it kind of has consistency. Then there's Ragnar Blackmane who was once Blonde, but since a painter from GW thought the Blackmane referred to his hair and not his Blackmame wolf. His hair got retconned into also being black... maned.

My many thanks! I am glad it worked as well as I had hope. and, my thanks for watching!

Hahah! As useful as Russ would be I can't help but agree, even with a prior rocky relationship, hearing that it is Guilliman alive should be reassuring no matter what! Thank you for watching!

The moment of sudden realisation was such a good thing to read, such a fantastically written moment! Thank you very much!

@@danielquintonvo I hope GW would bring victory to humanity or that they went down harder than the people of Cadia and it's planets. Or perhaps more of the brothers return; Jaghatai, Vulkan and Corvus returning back to the Imperium. Not to mention Rogal Dorn. And of course...Fulgrim and Ferrus clone.

@@GameLover45408 they will probably release a new primarch with every new edition.

Oh I can't wait for that moment. Thank you for watching!

Likewise, after finishing the book and the way you narrated it, it seems clear to me that it’s gonna be a tear jerking moment for us

Absolutely! I can't wait to see them meet, now. Now that it seems it isn't instantly going to just be bad blood, so it means we can watch them bicker between themselves yet still both fight for the imperium in their preferred roles! Thank you for watching!

@@danielquintonvo Despite being asleep it seems like he has attained some "aged wisdom" with his gray hair. He's a lot more mellow and dignified then in the Horus Heresy I would say. I mean...he's first achivement was reconciling with the Fallen. I'm sure there will be some amusing anecdotes about his actions, the eldar role in his ressurection and the Primaris Marines. I'm sure the Unremembered Empire will prop up again to face them as a scheme to show distrust inside the imperium. Things are a lot more dire then what they faced 10000 years ago, so I just can't see Lion having any problems with Robutes current actions, he's just to grateful. In fact...Robute is pretty daunted and quite uncomfortable with the idea of him calling all the shots...so he might ironically be annoyed by Lion acquiescenance.

Give it a rest with that shitty secund Imperium bullshit will you? Its gotten old and at this it has become cringe.

The lion can’t fault gilly he’s a natural empire builder

We as fans have to be cautious though, there might still be a fight between Guilliman and Jonson. Right now, the Lion is just extremely relieved that there still an Imperium out there to defend and that he is not the only uncorrupted son of the Emperor that still lives. But he might have so issues with how Guilliman has chosen to run things and how he fits into all of it.

Seeing the two, who had not greatest last interaction, have the same experience upon waking makes me even happier to see them eventually reunite! Thank you for watching!

Well Cruz may still return one day Remember he may be in a soup gem. A soul gem that Eldar may seek to plug into their craft world without knowledge. And a spirit that also isn’t going to be consumed by Slaanesh if released.

@@silent_stalker3687 All the primarchs can return since Warhammer 40k is a science fantasy setting with a hard emphasis on the fantasy. Horus is the only one that is hard to bring back... but they could still do it if they wanted.

@@Lazrael32 he still has shards of his soul splintered around a bit like in ‘slaves to darkness’ Yes, Horus would have likely or damaged destroyed his own soul before the emperor did if not for the actions in that novel.

@@silent_stalker3687 yeah i like to think dante somehow has one of the shards in him. The chaos gods could have secreted away part of horus' soul. Bringing back primarchs is a big money maker so they'll keep doing it. The only difficult one lore wise is vulcan. Because he's only supposed to come back at the end times.

I wish I could! haha Though I rather think GW and BL wouldn't be too happy with that. Though if you have any other passages you would like to hear once you have read it, do send the suggestion my way! My thanks!

@@danielquintonvo gosh, I hope so. I have been dying looking out for leaked pdf's 😅 And anyways, love your work. Got my sub ❤

​@danielquintonvo when Lion has to fight some Beats with only his fists, and hie first encounter with one of the "Fallen" would be amazing if narrated!

i got the audio book on audible - holy f its a really good listen!!! Especially this conversation with Dante. Just EPIC!!

@@zackzintho48 Damn that's a shame! And this person wouldn't have discord either for users who do not have FB?

Oh my! Well, I am rather glad you didn't. Thank you for watching!

I am expecting a bit of... tension, maybe but I really do hope it goes well, both of them could just use an understanding brother at the moment! Thank you for watching!

I hope Lion matured enough to see that his brother is no longer a competition. I think he is glad that it is Guilliman, he knows that he is loyal foremost to the ideals of the Emperor and that is why he never coveted the throne of Imperium Secundus.

RG: I cannot express how happy I am to have you back, Lion, just don't try to nuke my planets again and we should be all good. LeJ: THAT WAS ONE TIME

It will be like when Churchill heard about Pearl Harbor and said, “So we had Won after all!” I imagine Robout is gonna shout so loud in joy that it shatters the windows. Like as the master strategist, he thinks he can actually win indominust crusade, so if he gets to add a whole other version of himself into his strategy, it’s game over.

Meh there might be a bit of tension but i dont think they will really butt heads at all

A troublesome moment for the Lion I have to imagine! It must be good to see his Brothers sons again however, even if they aren't doing too well at the moment. Thank you for watching!

Nor me, it will be amazing. I'll do what I can to get my recording of it up on the channel when it does, too! Thank you for watching!

@@danielquintonvo It's funny to think so many thought that Lion and Roboat will fight/ start a civil war.........but the clues were there from the start that it will be a reunion between long lost brothers, I wouldn't be surprised if we get waterworks and hugs. I mean these 2 fought like cat and dog, they certainly weren't close, while Rowbooty Girlymans looked upto the Lion, he also had conflict with him and didn't back down, so they were both headstrong and clashed. BUT that was 10000~ years ago and now they are the only 2 primarchs that are known for sure to be alive and active in the imperium, an imperium that has seen much conflict and pain. I bet they hug it out and sort through their differences, then come to an understanding of where to go from there. Roboute to lead the light side of imperium, Dante to lead the dark side and Lion to be the spear that is directed where he is needed to fight Chaos (and maybe the Tyrannids).

Until the Lion finds out Roboute is boinking a Xeno.

After all he had been through up until then that must have been incredible, indeed! and, my thanks! The audio editing post Voice Over isn't ever my main focus but I do like to put a bit of effort into the placement and timing, get those vibes just right! So, my thanks again for noticing that aha

@@danielquintonvo I've listened to it around 30 times straight now..

I do rather like to see that, there has always been a tinge of it in 40k but to get some more of that up front in the lore, in the mainstream stuff is fantastic to see. Part of why I love so much of the HH Primarch stuff is how they consistently show these incredible, awe inspiring Demi-gods to be just as human as anyone, if not more so in some of their more emotional moments. I can't wait to see where they go with it, I am excited! Thank you very much for watching!

@@danielquintonvo I wholeheartedly agree with you on this one, battle brother. I cannot honestly wait for the moment Roboutes face lightens up when he sees his brother alive. It will be an exciting encounter!

Thank you! I am glad! I did want to get that voice right. Keeping it consistent is my hurdle now! aha Thank you for watching!

and I can't wait until he gets them and can start leading them! Going to be amazing. Thanks for watching!

That is very high praise! My thanks! I do hope to do more Dante readings soon, make sure to check back for those!

​@@danielquintonvo I don't know if it is the book, or your reading, but it gave me chills as well.

Thank you very much! I'm glad it was enjoyable!

My greatest of thanks! For sticking with me, and for the compliment. Hopefully I can continue improving as I go.

I am attempting to add a bit more emotion into some of the reads whenever it calls for it, I am glad it is potentially working! Thank you for watching!

It was a really wonderful moment to read, too! Thank you for watching!

mhm, as much as they never fully got along they are still brothers and still loyalists. Knowing someone else who can even vaguely understand your life and perspective still lives must be incredible! I am very excited to see them meet! Then Hopefully I can record it. Thank you for watching!

Thank you very much!

I am so glad it happened, and that it happened how it did! A truly fantastic scene. Thank you for watching!

Now I'm waiting to hear Gullimans reaction that Johnson is back.

@@MWH12085 I'm waiting for that one myself, too! haha

@@danielquintonvo how do dante know where lion is

@@shanegrimes3455because he was following a strange warp signature that the lion creates when he enters the forest to teleport. He picked it up after finding and empty arc of omen destoryed by the lion and his men.

It was such a large amount of legitimately positive emotion, always such a good thing to see whenever it does rarely pop up in 40k! Thank you for the kind words, and for watching!

Unfortunately that's the end of the book, too! Or I would love to continue it on! haha Thank you for watching!

Oh that would be a wonderful moment! I think if it doesn't quite happen like this I may be a bit disappointed now! aha. I can't wait for that scene. and, thank you for watching!

@Daniel Quinton VO He was now only a few paces away. The lion stopped short and removed his helm. He watches as his brother did the same, pulling the blue helmet of the ultramarines tight to his side. He bowed his head in acknowledgment as he closed the final few paces between them. There could be no doubt, this was his brother. The Lion could now see the heaviness in his face and eyes. Weariness? Perhaps. This new imperium they have both found themselves thrust into was indeed burdensome place. Or was it weariness of the lion himself. Why him. Why this brother and not another? Why the Lion, the one whom was banished for his secrets. He shook the notion from his mind. They were nearly face to face now, and as ElJhonson prepared to speak, his words became stuck in his throat, he felt a pain in his chest. The pain of regret. The pain of failure. The pain of bonds broken that had not yet been mended. The lion stopped short of his brother. He could see the sadness in Roboute's eyes, but also the fire that only the eyes of a primarch could hold. His mind was now racing, desperately searching for the right words to say, he had never been as good a statesman as his brother for whom these things seem to flow naturally. He feigned a cough as if clearing his throat, now barely holding his classic stoic and aloof gaze that had served him all his life. And then it happend. The great winged helm he held at his waist was now tumbling in slow motion Before him. His brother, without a word or sound, and without even the Lions exemplary reflexes allowed to react, embraced him with such force that this time it was the Lions helm that was dislodged from his grip. He winced at first at the sounds of his helmet rolling and clanking off the ceremite floor, but the strength of the embrace he now found himself in said everything that was needed to be said between them. Relief washed over him, and the Lion replied with an embrace of his own. One befitting a Lion of the first. And as they each pulled back Guiliman smiled for the first time since their eyes met. He looked down at the Lions helmet and bent over to pick it up. As he rose to hand it back to his brother so spoke for the first time. "Your getting slow old man." Said Guilliman with a smirk. The lion roared in laughter, the memory of their last meeting brushing his mind. "Perhaps I am, " he let his response hang..." but I'm still faster than Angron." Robute's face darkened if only for a moment at the mention of his traitorous brothers foul name. Then placing a hand on the Lions shoulder he said " Now that brother, is a story I must hear."

Agreed! Going to be hard to claw back what they have lost but it does seem possible with the return of the Primarchs! Thanks for watching!

I believe it was, they have never had the best of relationships but I think, as loyalist brothers, they will likely do all they can to help each other aid the Imperium! Thank you for watching!

I am so excited to see all of that come together! I'm not sure how smoothly it will go or how long it will last but I need it to, at least for a moment, exist in all of its glory! Thank you for watching!

Thank you sir! Please do the Lion ark of omen - would love to enjoy that. Doing your Angron ark of omen now.

some of the fallen joined him?

It is a fantastic return to form almost! What the Imperium needs now it is on the back foot! Thanks for watching!

Oh they can absolutely feel emotion! No matter what anyone will say. There are situations such as the Dante excerpt I just uploaded, there's Polux and Dantioch and countless other emotional examples in the texts! I assume this is about the most he reacted just because he is The Lion, he's always been stoic and reserved. I'd almost go as far as to call this an emotional outburst for him aha Thank you for watching!

My many thanks!

Thank you very much! and oh god, it was amazing to read, too! A fantastic moment.

Painfully true! Thank you for watching!

I would certainly love to! Maybe one day I shall be able. Until then, my thanks for watching!

It is such a touching, manly moment! aha Thank you for watching!

There is so much history, and potential future in that one line, indeed! I can't wait to see the payoff! Thank you for watching!

Thank you very much! That means a lot!

@@danielquintonvoarguably my favourite video on yt,certainly of any book reading,purely masterful

We can only hope so! haha Thank you for watching!

mhm, things like their history and consistent... not rivalry, but at least standoffish sort of relationship they had that made this hit so much harder for me, and makes me so much more excited for the reunion! Thank you for watching!

@@danielquintonvo and its not like its glossed over in the book as his reaction when he learns about Guilliman shattering the legions he has the reaction you would expect from the Lion ... especially since in his mind his brother is gone ...so he can be angry at him ... but in this moment realizing his brother is alive and they can meet thats all that matters ... and its great ...

I'm still refining what I want from the Dante voice but I am glad that it worked! Some more Dante videos coming out soon, hopefully I can continue that on! Thank you for watching!

Many thanks! I do rather hope so, and that I can keep doing as such!

I was looking for something that would do the voice-over from the book. I'm glad to find this!!

and each time is appreciated! My thanks for watching!

And another one 😂

And another 😂

@@markjosephkong8624 and I am thankful for each time! Aha

❤ and another one.

I'm really glad those theories were wrong, too, that would have been a really tiresome narrative direction. I want a bit of back and forth maybe, after the hug, but seeing the two reunite needs to be a bittersweet, if not just happy moment! Thank you for watching!

If I can find that excerpt that sounds like something I may want to put to voice too! and, I do really hope it is a good reunion. We need our small bits of hope every now and then in this Grimdark nightmare! haha Thank you for watching!

It will be so fantastic to read, I am so excited for when we get to that! Hopefully an equally emotional moment! Thank you for watching!

It really does! Such a long time in the making, now they just need to stick the landing for the reunion! Going to be really emotional! Thank you for watching!

Sobbing? Seriously man?

Thank you very much! and thank you for watching.

Thank you very much!

It was a fantastic thing to read! I was so happy reading through it, too! Thank you for watching!

My many thanks!

Thank you very much!

That means a lot, my many thanks!

My thanks!

I’d say blood angel would be second to ultramarines as ultra marine were the first contact chapter and have fought multiple wars against the nids and have a non codex compliant unit known as the tyrannical war veterans And their chaplain Cassius was sent to the death watch to help them deal with the nids

Mhm, I think before the Ultramarines certainly took it but having the Ultras and Blood Angels on 'nid watch now, with so much experience between the two legions is real good for the Imperium! I'm excited to see where they go with the Blood Angels from here! Thank you for watching!

@@danielquintonvo Blue boys and Red boys combining to fight off the nids with the backing of the DA GOODLUCK hive mind

It was such a great moment to be able to read and record, so, thank you very much for subscribing, and watching!

mhm, I imagine it will go rather well, especially now the Lion has matured quite a bit. Thank you for watching!
