A space marine once told a rogue trader who believed the emperor to be a god. "The emperors blood flowed through the veins of his primarchs, his sons. And their blood flows in me, does that make me a god? I bleed and die like any other. And for a god to beat an immortal monster is not nearly as inspiring as a man that conquers the immortal."

Fantastic content as ever Wes - honoured to play a small part in it and help spread the good 40k word when needed, so thanks again for asking me!

Chris Tester is so damn good. If I ever needed someone to voice a character in my fiction, he’d be near the top of the list

“No pity. No remorse. No fear”

I work as a chaplain in the United States VA system. I'm just glad to have representation in 40k! I think this video has inspired me to make a unique chaplain model based on my Custodes army!

4:40 "The Chaplains can always be found fighting on the frontlines" except for a certain Chaplain who just talks shit in Space Marine 2 lol

[grimlockago-go]

Our Chaplin jumped alongside us, and when we were deployed he absolutely carried. We were joking around one time and asked him about it, and he said "A shepard carries a staff to protect his flock dosen't he? Mine just reaches a bit further."

I retired from the US Army infantry and I was an open atheist throughout which can be rough in the infantry, but the man I had the most respect for in my first unit was Major Carrothers our Chaplain. He is a great man who I was honored to serve beside through some of the bloodiest fights in Iraq. I was actually very lucky to run into him when he became the post Chaplain at the base I work as a contractor at a few years ago. Seriously a great man. The vast majority of chaplains are great people. Not all, but the majority are.

The best part of the Grimaldus performance was the mocking sarcasm contrasted against righteous bloodthirst. Shit was immaculate

[OxTheHerdzz]

Chris Tester is a fucking gift to the 40k community I swear.

[HumanThePerson]

I imagine their confession booth is just a trash compactor

Real-world military Chaplains are the best individuals I have ever met. In all of my time within the US Army, it was always the Chaplain who helped me the most. They're the reason why Chaplains in 40K are *my* favorite Space Marines unit, and why I have so many in all of my armies.

[Razorblaydes]

Grimaldus’ speech gives me chills everytime, I’d definitely take out my fair share of xenos filth in the Emperors name after hearing that

[Artorias-The-Wolf-Knight]

"they're a space marines favorite type of space marine"

Came here because i was confused how much that snitch climbed in the corporate ladder while titus was banished from his brothers.

"Did you pray today?"

"Did you pray today?"

[matthewanderson]

Well, that gave me goosebumps in a way I've never felt before!!! That Grimaldus speech was insane!!!!❤

[Lazrael]

The Blood Angels chaplains also have the added duty of giving those who fell to the black rage an honorable death. They will even abandon military goals to hunt them down and give them their fitting end. Astaroth the high chaplain is my favorite blood angel. he actually will travel to successor chapters and make sure the deed is done. This has caused some friction between him and the flesh tearers s he once passed judgement on a squad. However he has also spoken in defense of Gabriel Seth. so it makes for an interesting situation. Also, noteably the emperor has made more exceptions than mars. Sanguinious asked the emperor not to destroy the faith of Bhaal who saw Sanguinious (and by extention the emperor) as a god as one example.

For anyone not knowing this: Chris Tester voiced Heinrix Van Calox in the recently released Rogue Trader game by Owlcat. Another great performance by him. While I appreciate the zeal and ardour he gives off with Grimaldus' speach, the more subtile, insinuating tone he pulls off playing a member of the Inquisition is a masterpiece.

45:28 - How Magnus finds the time to get that JACKED between reading ancient scrolls, conquering worlds, and surfing warp waves, I'll never know.
