The Unusual Size Of The Sons Of Antaeus (Ft. Baldermort) - 40K Theories 

This guy needs a job at the BBC narrating documentaries on the wars of Antiquity. Bravo.

Baldemort is super underrated, the dude's voice is ear candy

I like the idea that the cursed founding was Cawl's first attempt at seeing if traitor gene seed could be ‘fixed’.

"We were Primaris Marines before it was cool"

Hmmm... large astartes with a penchant for secrecy and little record of engagements? Sounds like some alpha bois to me

I like the idea that they're a stepping stone towards the primaris or a mix of thunder warrior and astartes methods of production, a throw back to a bygone era.

Death Guard loyalists perhaps who were tinkered with to ensure loyalty by the mechanicus?

I had not heard of Baldermort... But now I think I have many hours of content ahead of me...

I was just listening Chaos ssf. Clearly a hidden alpha legion successor "adopted" by row boats blue crew... like all other secret traitor seed chapters.

I am in awe at the size of these lads, **ABSOLUTE UNITS**

Praise the Emperor! A collaboration between 2 of my favorite 40k lore content creators. A pity Baldermort had no character to play.

So if they'll have Primaris marines, would they'll be even taller?

His Gothic is heavily accented, with a very clear vowel shift. What's his homeworld?

I'm inclined to say that they are an experiment for Primaris...perhaps Cawl took some Deathguard mojo, created a prototype, kept perfecting it and tadaaa Primaris...

*Stares at the VA.* "... You're not dino-face."

Good ol Baldy and Rem go together better than a chain axe meeting a skull.

Imagine a Primaris chapter using the chimeric gene-seed of the Iron Warriors and the Death Guard as its base.

Happy to see Balder working with other 40k content creators. That voice needs to be as far spread as possible.

Yeesss!! baldermort coolest narrator and lore reader and the 40 k theory the best 40k theorist and lore reader

This guy has done the best VO you guys have ever had! :)

By The Omnissiah! another collaboration of another warhammer youtuber?! How rare can that be!?

Baldemort, 40k theories, luetin. These guys are the Kings of 40k lore narration. Fantastic content, I've learnt so much over the last few years

fancy seeing uncle baldermort here

No memes, but I do think the alpha legion is a pretty good idea since their astartes are lager than the typical ones. As stated, they rarely appear on mass, and exit the battle as quickly as they enter it. They also showed up unexpectedly. Though the most possible one is the fact that its either mutated, or just another example of the cursed founding. Prototype primaris marines does sound like a sick idea though.

Baldy for the Guest Host! Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Thrown! Farts for the Inquisition! Comments for the Algorithm!

With regards to their service in the Deathwatch, if I remember correctly apothecaries who join take extreme vows to honor the secrets of their patients regardless of what chapter they hail from. Deathwatch service is one of the only times that apothecaries are required to routinely inspect and handle gene-seed vastly different from their own, and if the vows weren't taken I doubt that most chapters would send anyone to join (even if they didn't have anything to hide, gene-seed is precious after all). Chapters like the Blood Angels or Black Dragons don't exactly advertise the flaws in their gene-seed, and the cat would be out of the bag real quick if an apothecary did a routine analysis (not to mention those in service as Black Shields who refuse to state where they came from). So if the Sons of Antaeus were the first trial run of Primaris, having extra organs would not be a deal breaker as the Deathwatch apothecary takes patient confidentiality very seriously.

Astartes of unusual size? I'm afraid that they don't exist.

Baldermort! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 the emperor’s chosen narrator 😋😎👍

If 40K theories ever gets really really drunk. He'll invite MajorKill over to narrate one of his videos.

I love the fact that you guys are humble enough to work together, Thank You 40K, Yhank You Baldermort!!

Baldermort or Remleiz posts? I immediately watch.

Wooooot Uncle Baldy always sounds so good teaching us the lore

Greetings Good Storyteller! So kind of you to pay us a visit! As for the Sons? Simple. They eat their spinach!

I loved this Crossover, thank you so much 40k Theories for having Baldermort on!

Extra big astartes? Sounds like they might be sons of Alpharius Hydra dominatus

Yay! Great to hear Baldermort on 40k theories!

Ahh yes... Balders never fails to please. What a lovely surprise this monday

Baldermort is truelly one of my most favorite personalities in the industry. Absolutly love and appreciate his contribution to our hobby. Well done sir.

Oooh boy Monday with Baldermort :D

did not expect to hear the faithful servant here. pleasant surprise indeed

Good stuff! Although hearing "Aeldary" is a bit weird

YES. I'm so happy to see you guys collaborating. Great video my dudes!

By the throne it's the floating skull himself Baltermort

baldermort going from a small channel to collabing with 40k Theories makes me happy

Thank you so much for givng Baldermort some love. Best voice on youtube.

Not sure if it's "correct" but I enjoy this speaker's pronunciation of 'Eldari'. A very talented voice artist

is anyone else imagining original art with a certain crocodile headed tech priest putting a servo skull in a stasis jar?

Any video that has Baldermort AND 40k Theories deserves an automatic like

I come in the name of the Bald Father of Lore and his immaculate voice!

LORECEPTION! BALDEMORT in 40K Theories!! Yeaaahhhhh!!! I love the guy, this collab is AWESEOME!!!

It would be cool as f and mind blowing if they are sons of one of lost primarchs.

Hearing Baldermort reading Remleiz' makes me wonder if Rems will sound like this when he's old and gray? Nice job on the video Baldermort, love hearing you in videos.

Love this Chapter and LOVE BALDEMORT!!!! GW needs to go have him to a few audio dramas. I would love hearing him in The Emporer’s Gift

Excellent collaboration, some of my favorite 40k youtubers working together, yes.

Calling it here (and if I was to ever write for Black Library, this would be the story)-Loyalist Death Guard/Iron Hands chimera gene seed (with a little bit of Dark Angels) from the Horus Heresy, who have been working with the AdMech and Custodies as one of the prototype Primaris Marines concepts. They're also secretly a number of the other Chapters in the area and will sometimes wear the markings of a number of notational "chapters." This is to maintain continuity of experience and training, test out new equipment, and keep the exact nature of the Sons of Antaeus a secret. And, for a second reason. The few that know call the Sons of Anteus "the last Imperial Legion" and this is very true. If it ever becomes necessary, the various units will form in on the Sons and become a Legion again in truth-at least fifteen thousand Astartes, and the equipment to match. Including stored and upgraded equipment from the Heresy era needed for massed units of the Astartes, like Spartan Assault Tanks and Mastodon transports.

Brother Baldermort AND 40k theories?! What an awesome start to my day!

Great work guys.

Two of my favourite 40k content creators! I love it. Thank you.

I'd love if it turns out that they've always just been primaris marines

This is the dream that came true. Subbed to you two waaaay before you collabed waiting for this to happen. HERE IT IS. GLORIOUS!

MY RESPLENDENT BALDEMORT I CAN SCARCE CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT, ALL THE GRATITUDE TO 40K THEORIES FOR THIS MOST WELCOME SURPRISE

Clicked the second I saw baldemort's name man's got a voice that should be on every 40k E-book

You are a long way from home Baldy.... I love to see collaboration between two of my favorites!

They could also be from the Alpha Legion geneseed. That would explain his bigger size and also their...secretive behaviour (but this doesn't explain their resilance)

40k theories uploads... Me: destroy the watch button and view with a iron gaze

Uhhhu Remleiz I think you’ve a few Servo Skulls with vocalizers loose in your archives. May want to look into that.

Thanks for the continued awesome content, brother. We love this stuff. Cheers.

Great to see two of my faves collab!

One option not mentioned is their recruitment pool. The Flesh Tearers have larger marines from one location/tribe on their homeworld. A homeworld with a gravity somewhere between Terra and Ogryn Homeworlds could theoretically create a larger/tougher aspirant. Just a thought.

Clicks video, expecting to hear 40K theories voice. Hears Baldermort instead "Goodness gracious me! Practically jumped out of my skin with glee"

i sure hope this voice reappears from time to time, amazing narration!

Uncle Bald needs to work on his "watchuuuuuung"s xD

One thing that scraps the Primaris theory is that the Primaris marine fluff was made up 5 minutes after the models were released while Sons of Antaeus are from a long lost time when GW just gave us concepts to expand on our own.

Could be left over thunder warrior gene making them bigger then normal.

Could the death guard geneseed or iron warriors genessed have been used as a base for which to test the primaris process due to their geenseed being resilient?

Lovely video! My call? Death Guard Geneseed used by Cawl to field test the Primaris

40k Theories + Baldermort = Awesome

Aren't they marines that are theorized to be the sons of Omegon? I swear you did a video on th- HOLY BALDY ITS A COLLAB. I didn't even see that In the title, just insta clicked the notification Ahhhhh I love his stuff. Lore Master crossover! Awesome as fuck. Emperor bless ya both.

Baldermort has the very voice of an Astartes. He does narratives along with informative lore. You should probably be watching him.

:o it is he! The legend! The Servo Skull extraordinare himself! It is Baldermorte, greatest of 40k story tellers and he who wishes all to try make time, for FUN! love the surprise of hearing that great voice open this one. It seems the inquisition knows a good servo skull when they see one! Eeeeeeeeeend Quote!!

Hey 40k theories! I remember that you once had a similar 0:47 note on a video about the Shadowguard of the Custodian Guard, if i remember correctly. I found the offical color scheme: it‘s in the Citadel Color App for Smartphones.

Love hearing about cursed founding chapters... All the traits have many possible causes, but the Inquisitor in me just responds: Big, tough? = Deathguard Extra psychic? = Thousand Son Angry? = World Eater Bit too cruel? = Night lord Bit too fancy? = Emperors Children Too zealous? = Wordbearer (why did we even still have this Geneseed???) Generally fine, high recruitment rate, solid, dependable marines? = Iron Warriors No records found? = dammed Alpha Legion 🤫

Whoever is doing the narration? I love that voice! Love the channel and the lore man, keep it up, but stay healthy and take breaks. Thanks!

Like the collaboration, keep it up guys.

There all 3 squats sitting 1 on top of the other

Wow remleiz is getting really good at these impressions

Bravo mr. Baldermort! Nice collab :-)

Hey ya old man your voice is as awesome as always

Damn it baldemorte you bless everything you touch with your voice.

Could be an alpha legion chapter since they were both taller than average and their primarchs shorter than average

Ft. Baldermort Came running~!

The idea that the Sons of Antaeus are the data collection test bed for the Primaris Project makes a lot of sense, also with the scrubbing of their battlefield records contributing to that idea.

Dude, this was very educational for a fantheory video. Thank you. Double thank you for using the music from my favorite wh40k game Chaos Gate.~ Hit me right in the 90's feels

That glorious voice.. smooth like hot buttery Gothic. The Imperium approves!

Big? Sneaky? Thoudsand sons

Goddamn ! Whos the new guy doing the voice over work?! I feel like I’m watching a WW2 or Roman warfare documentary! Awesome!! Thank the Golden Throne for this honey bourboned voiced Narrator!

I like how Baldemort and 40k theories have crossed over. I hope these two lore masters continue to do videos together

This is truly blessed content!!

Hello Faithful servo-skull. Community question, is it still up for debate that these are Alpha Legion stock? Especially as they are clearly the largest Marines. Even the secrecy of their records is evidence to me.

Had to do a double take when I heard Baldemort's voice. Got me confused dlr a while.
