EPIK Voice Acting: Echoes of Eternity - Speech of Sanguinius
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 07. 2023
- Hail, Epikus Warriors! Here is another voice acting demo once again of the voice of Sanguinius, Primarch of the Blood Angels Chapter of the Space Marines/Adeptus Astartes in the Warhammer 40,000 universe! This is text from the book "Echoes of Eternity," the latest of the Siege of Terra saga!
In this scene, Sanguinius is giving a rousing speech before the final battle of the Eternity Gate on Holy Terra, at the Imperial Palace! It's quite dire, and he tells he truth...hard, grim truth, but also the truth of not lying to his men to make them feel comfortable! No, he promises them that while his instinct is to run and never look back, that he stays and fights because it is RIGHT to oppose evil!

Music toward the end is the track entitled, "Angels Fly," and it's composed as a royalty free track by Serge Pavkin Music! Look him up on CZcams and other platforms, and give him a subscribe/follow, and a listen!
I only wrote some violins harmonics drones leading up to when Serge's track started.
All other audio sounds, aside from the voice recording, are royalty free, and from www.freesound.org

I used royalty-free music (called "Angels Fly," btw, and it's by Serge Pavkin Music - check his channels out) toward the end, but composed violins harmonics drones toward the beginning AND at the very tail-end.
I wanted to showcase voice acting in this. I've got plenty of other tracks (original and covers) which showcase my musical abilities. 😁
Regardless:
STAY EPIK!
... What? Reassure us, it's not an Imperiality-free music at least?
@@tokoyonokuni4656It's chaos-free.
What page in the book is this?
How in the emperor's name someone will run away from this battle when you're hearing this speech from a literal demi-god angel.
who is the voice actor?
The masculine urge to die beside Sanguinius at the foot of the Eternity Gate during the Siege of Terra.
The equally masculine urge to fight side by side with my brethren, against overwhelming odds...because it is RIGHT to oppose them!
One of the reasons I feel like, to some extent, the black rage is a bit of a gift as well as a curse. What Blood Angel wouldn’t want to spend their last moments fighting either beside or as their Primarch?
Arent there alot of women in the Imperial army aswell?
@@chocolatesquirrel2002 The *Human urge to die beside Sanguinius at the foot of the Eternity Gate during the Siege of Terra
@@chocolatesquirrel2002hahahahahahahah
Sanguinius held something so much greater than the Emperor’s blood, he held the Emperor’s humanity.
Emperor was less human then the chaos gods. He was the one who planned the heresy. He was the one who seeded the roots of the heresy. He was the one who set his sons against one another. He was the one who doomed mankind to eternal darkness, just so he could become a false god himself. Even the gods do not betray their most devout followers.
Sanguinius was more human then humanity itself. Despite being born of the same uncaring and cruel genes as his father and some of his other brothers as well as his natural inclination for blood-need and violence… he rose above them all. His heart burned the brightest and because of it, his blade also burned brighter then any other. Bright enough to become an eternal light for the defenders of the throne world and bright enough to become the white hot doom to all the traitors that saw him.
Wow
That, and the greatest concentration of *HIS* Badassery
I think he represents that even though humanity is inherently "flawed" we can always aspire to be better despite is easier to give in to said flaws.
Long live Chaos Undivided! The Empire shall be consumed. As with the rest of this universe, and all others. Give in and join the winning side!
“We cannot defeat the armies of Mordor.”
“No, we cannot.”
“But we will meet them in battle nonetheless.”
Equally profound. RIP Bernard Hill. 😢😢😢
We're a weird bunch, we 40k fans. We share a history that didn't happen anywhere else but in our hearts and minds.
"Our fantasies are a pool of clear water. We see ourselves in the reflections. And that is why when we return to the warmth of the fire, we tell stories of what we saw. Of great things. Of evil wrought. Of passion felt. For that is what we drink from when all wells run dry. Our pool of clear water."
@nicholasjohnson6279 There is something deeply human in these stories that very very few other franchises capture. Halo is the only other franchise that really captures humanity this well. Not just the good sides but the bad as well. Truly who we are as a species.
I am new to this fandom and wow, there is some energy here. I barely know half the lore and I know your comment is right. :D
"Its all in our heads, but why should that mean that it is not real"
Who knows, maybe this world is just another among many that has yet to be reclaimed by the emperor and his sons.
He follows this speech up by slam dunking on Ka'Bandha and Angron AFTER soloing a Reaver Titan. This makes me want to cry and workout out all at the same time.
Surprised he fit on the bridge of the Vengeful Spirit with those giant balls.
If he was at 100% whennhe faced Horus and hadn't just fought a Titan, a Greater Daemon of Khorne, and Angron back to back I daresay he would have won.
@stevepalpatine2828 imagine if the emperor was still with us
@stevepalpatine2828 Horus was basically all four chaos gods rolled into one man, he never had a chance. Him being a martyr is too important to the story of 40k.
@UrbanArmada the lore may have changed since the last time I was really into it, but I recall it used to be that while the thing that inhabited Horus was beating the emperor senseless what was left of the actual Horus resurfaced for a second and realized he had murdered his most beloved brother. And the emperor, mostly dead, took the chance to alt+f4 his mistake before crashing himself.
"Sanguinius. It should have been him. He has the vision and strength to carry us to victory, and the wisdom to rule once victory is won. For all his aloof coolness, he alone has the Emperor's soul in his blood. Each of us carries part of our father within us, whether it is his hunger for battle, his psychic talent or his determination to succeed. Sanguinius holds it all. It should have been his..."
- Horus lupercal
I have read this quote before, and love it.
Probably the last time Horus spoke while still being himself.
Lupercal!
@@Toombs71 Not quite. I'd argue the very last we see from the real Horus is when Russ pierces him with his spear. For a moment he comes to his senses and you see a broken man full of regret. Quite a sad scene really.
@@littleman2226in the end and the death, when Horus is delusional and reality is slipping his mind, he recalls the same. He chooses to live a moment where he speaks of the emperor and Sanguinius.
Lol I'm surprised anybody would refer to Sanguinius as aloof.
“Sanguinius,
What transpires on the surface of the Throneworld, I cannot say. What horrors you have endured, I cannot imagine.
All I know for certain is this: I am mere days from the system's edge, and within a solar week, I will be in the skies above Terra.
With me I bring the entire might of the Thirteenth Legion, and I am not alone; word has reached me from Russ and the Lion, at the vanguard of the Sixth and the First. Our numbers are enough to cleanse the heavens and tear the world from the Arch-traitor's grip.
Hold on to hope, brother. That is all I ask. Can you give me that? Can you stand your ground for these last, ultimate hours?Those elusive twins, Victory and Vengeance, are coming. This war ends the moment I reach Terra.
Hold, in the name of the Emperor and the Imperium we have built together.
I will be with you soon.”
-Robute Guilliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines
Come on GMan, don't do us like this. 😢😢
Ever get the feeling Guilliman would prefer Sanguinius as Emperor over The Emperor?
@@Voitan Dude, he literally forced Sangi into being the Emperor of his Imperium Secundus!!
I can only imagine what G man felt when he saved Sanguinius sons during the devastation of Baal.
He failed to save his brother once, and he would not fail to save his brother's sons.
He would not fail Sanguinius again
"This war ends the moment I reach Terra"
If this is like a voice message, I for sure see GMan clutching that mic so tight and saying those words with gritted teeth and full of godly determination.
Blood angels fans rn: 😢
Chaos fans rn: 😢
Me rn: 😢
No cap if i was chaos and heard this.... shit would have me thinkin
The idea that the most powerful loyalist primarch attributes his bravery to his human side is beautiful. It’s not his wings, his giant stature, his perfectly sculpted intellect, unmatched psyker potential or his master crafted weapons. The part of sanguinius that makes him powerful and gives him courage is his humanity.
It's poetically beautiful!
not just loyalist, Horus gets power from his sugar daddies...doesn't count...
Does he have more psyker potential than Magnus?
@@velenvskaelhas he doesn't have any Psychic powers if my memory serves me right but that doesn't mean he's weak...far from it. He does have some level of future sight tho.
@chatongarou7665 he and Konrad specifically share the emperor's foresight, premonitions. (They can see the futute) that is his psyker powers, like divination. Is he as strong as magnus overall with his psyker abilities and potential? No....but has an incredibly powerful gift.
"When the Warmaster's hoard descends upon this wall, they will find me waiting for them, with a blade in hand! Not because I can win, but because it is RIGHT!"
This is why I'm a proud blood angel main.
I can truly understand how Sanguinius inspired mortal men to stand against the horrors faced during the siege of the imperial palace.
He had the body of a god, but the soul of a mortal human. That is how.
He was and always will be the greatest son the emperor made.
@@Bradeze dont forget The Lion
Throw your soldiers into position once there is no escape, and they will prefer death, to flight.
Only if he'd listened to my configurations in the end and the death and remained a symbol for my imperium instead he chose his permutations . my noble son
If you didn't want to start a Blood Angels army before, you do now.
And some people have referred to our beloved Hawkboi as "overrated." Pah! If it ain't broken, don't fix it! 🤣
@@apokalypsiscomposer🤣🤣🤣
@@apokalypsiscomposer YES.
@EpikusMusic
Women: Oh my god, how couldn't he cry at the end of Titanic? It's like he has no feelings!! He doesn't even care.
Chad when Sanguinius speaks at the Eternity Gate:
If you didn't want to stand and die at the Eternity Gate, now you do.
Horus knew how to manipulate the hearts of humanity to get them to follow him, with sanguinis everything came naturally because he meant every word he said that struck deep in the hearts those who fought for him
Imagine if sanguinius was turned signus prime
@jimcarter7035 if he had, he wouldn't be sanguinis frankly.
"If you wish to fall back into the Sanctum Imperialis and spend the last hours of your life with your children then do so. Know that you not only go with my blessing but my envy."
This line hits so hard because Sanguinius does not want this. He wishes anything more then to be standing there back against the wall fighting his once brothers. He wants nothing more than the beautiful vision his father had for the Imperium. He knows the warriors under his command have given more then he could possibly ask of them and they earned that final respite. He however believes he hasn't. He has failed the Imperium and it is his time to repent and repay.
There’s also I have to guess rather cynically an element of reverse psychology to this speech.
By now you’re probably tired of fighting. I get it so am I, and I’m a Primarch. I can’t even imagine how much harder this is on you mere humans. Horus promised to let you live if you surrender. Hopefully you all realize he has no intention of honoring that promise. Maybe you could run through the wastes. If you’re really lucky you might avoid being killed by Horus’s minions just to die of thirst and exhaustion. Maybe you’d like to fall back into the sanctum. Some of you have family in there. You can tell them “Well we tried our best, but there’s just too many and we’re all about to die.”
Or you can do what I’m going to do which is keep fighting to the last. This is basically humanity’s last stand. What else can we do?
And yet he follows up this speech by wrecking and banishing kahbandaa, soloing demon Angron and a fucking titan single handedly, bloodied and broken he still proceeds to go to fight ascended Horus. I don’t believe the imperium fell with the wounding of the emperor. I believe it fell because of the loss of the great angel. The best of all his brothers and the best of his father’s gifts, and most of all, all of it was tied to his… humanity.
Somewhere in that crowd, Ollanius Pius listens intently and takes the Primarch's words to heart.
Imagine being a simple guardsman. Run down, tired, bloodied, knowing that your death is coming and seeing a demigod son of the emperor giving the honest truth of the situation at hand whilst Terra burns around you, probably everything you owned destroyed and everyone you loved killed. The pure adrenaline and heart coming from the primarch would make anyone stand and fight one last time with nothing but pure rage and honour for what remains of your brothers and sisters surrounding you
That’s Katsuhiro’s story
"...not because I can win, but because it is right!"
Holy shit 😢😢😢
🥹
Sanguinius’s voice actor managed to make it sound like he genuinely loved these men.
He did 🥺
This brings a tear to my eye. Knowing he was ready to die giving Guilliman every second possible to come and save or avenge him.
And Guillimun failed him. And his father. And the Imperium. So sad
@@jackmyers8687 Not Necessarily. I strongly disagree with you.
@UnRuleD_ And I strongly disagree with Donald Trump, Russia and Ultra Smurfs who think Prime Anus Marines were a good idea. Can't win them all.
Disagree with Trump? So you like virtue signaling, identity politics, crybabies, and media lies?
@@jackmyers8687 what are you chatting about?
"Not because I can win, but because it is right!" Is on of the most heroic lines I've ever read, and you brought it to life incredibly! I can't wait to see what you do next!
A man can only be brave when he is afraid. Though every atom of Sanguinius may scream for him to run, to save himself from this terrible fate, he is a man with a good heart, and that mortal man inside of him, the human compassion for his fellow man, will allow him to be nowhere except right where he is. He has a duty to do what is right, even if it kills him.
We all should do what is right. Not what is easy. Because doing what is right would sustain us in these difficult times.
Indeed, unfortunatly if someone would do this in real life then he would be called a fool or madman
@@revan4638 I rather to take my chances and maybe fail upon the uncertainty rather than facing the consequences of never try at all. Freedom is coming from Courage. I slept and dreamt that life was Joy. I awake and saw that Life was Duty. I acted and behold. Duty was Joy.
@@TheWargod66 Well said, brother!
Sanguinius was prime definition of Humanity, Honor, Courage, Faith, and overall sheer fucking Will.
Sheer Fucking Will... what a beautiful thing to have
He once killed 2 World eaters in a fortress with a remembrancer wand.
With a fucking... remembrancer wand!
I love the fact that he says the demigod wants too flee but the Human want to fight. Many time in stories one would hear that the heros are beyond humanity that their courage outstrips that of a mortal man but here it is made clear that humanity is the ones that are brave and the superhumans only seek glory and care for themselves it is not sanguiniusis Power that keeps him fighting it is his human soul that wants to do the right thing
Fuckin amazing 😢. I really need to get into Warhammer for real
@lavellelee5734 The lore is soooo good! It's on a similar level, in my opinion, as The Silmarillion, in terms of depth of detail - and I'm primarily a huge Tolkien nerd!
@@EPÏKUS.MUSÏC two more things I gotta get into😂😅. Have you watched any content of bricky or adeptus ridiculous?
The warhammer 40k lore is one one level with all of humanitys myths and religions.
It made me believe in God as I picture the God emperor as how God should be explained.
The Bible is not doing it for me but 40k lore can explain it all.
The emperor as manifestation of all human potential and his aspects manifested in his sons.
It's great.
The mythical stories about honor loyalty and betrayal.
It ha it all.
Again and again it shows what's important to not transcend humanity but to embrace it.
Humans are not the problem they are the solution.
As greedy and selfish as they are they can be loving and selfless.
True heros.
The imperium was never built for the Trans humans.
The human spirit 🔥
For Sanguinius to speak to mere mortals with such regard for their strength of will and virtue speaks magnitudes of volume of his own character. A true man he was, to see the precious soul within each individual soldier and speak to it directly.
Quintilians of humans lived and died long before this moment, and quintilians more after. But to have been blessed by fate to be standing before eternity gate, braving the storm of annihilation and pandemonium with Sanguinius himself speaking praise of you. There is no word in mortal tongues that can ascribe how one would feel, no better honor, no better fulfillment.
Yeah Ferrus Manus definitely didn’t seem to regard mortal humans as much more than weaklings that get in the way.
Sanginius, Gulliman, and Vulkan are the primarchs who had the kindest regards for humanity.
That and maybe Magnus. But…well you know.
@@infidelheretic923Magnus' case is just tragic.
Because it is what it is. Legions and horrific hordes of CSM, demons, xenos. But you, you are just a Guardsman with a lasgun. And you just stand and fight.
The popular meme is 'comissar will shoot you if you turn and run'. But thats the blown up meme from commissars meme's. But your average guardsman believes in the holy emperor and terra. Of what they are doing. To be a guard, is to be a chad.
After a speech like that... I could not run. To die alongside the Angel for the fate of Mankind would be a privilege.
It is better to die on your feet, than live on your knees.
So you’re gullible enough to be essily manipulated
@@doradogom5460 Literally everything Sanguinius said was true. Running would buy you at best, a couple moments respite before being murdered by the traitors. They would show no mercy. Defying evil to your dying breath is better than being torn apart while cowering in a hovel.
@@imtired9395And the best thing is that he wasn't even considering the part of dying cowering, he was understanding of people who knew they will die either way that spending your final moments with your family is not only completely understandable but most of all honorable
For him you're not running away like a coward but saying rightfully goodbye to those you will never see again if you were to die with your back against the eternal gates
@@doradogom5460lol this is a fight between good and evil and we want to be on the side of good and you think that is us being manipulated, you are a silly person lol.
Sanguinius really was the best of them. He wasn't the perfect angel but he was certainly an angel nonetheless. If only he knew that Guilliman actually was days or weeks away at this point.
Kind of sounds like he did know.
He knew they were coming and also that they wouldn’t arrive in time to save him or the few remaining forces he had left.
He did know I think. You can hear the frustration at the end of “I will buy another day or hour or even a single second of grace for those who can’t be here fighting with me!”
Not just Guilliman. The Lion was on his way as well with the 1st Legion, and Russ as well with his Wolves, having regathered his strength. Some theorize that it was the approach of these three that forced Horus to make his final gambit, lowering the shields of the Vengeful Spirit and bringing her into teleportation range.
@@Isildun9 Makes sense. He would have been stuck between two forces at that stage.
“Sanguinius,

'Not because I can win, but because it is right' is probably one of the best phrases I've heard
Just rewatching this every other day ever since I’ve found this. I wish I could personally like this video 100 thousand times
@@jankoo285 Oops, meant to click the heart, not the dislike! 😅
Sangi' is the ultimate 'Superman character'. Everywhere around he is the most perfect, always right mary-sue-esq character. But within him, he is full of doubts, his own insecurities, struggling to keep everything together. And even though he knows it is his final hour, he does it because it is what is right.
"To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods."
For the Imperium
For the Emperor
For Mankind
For the Angel
When I'm at my lowest, I often find myself coming back to this video for hope. It sounds ridiculous but this character and this story gives me so much strength and courage to keep going no matter what. I hope all of you are doing well.
Sanguinius is the real hero of 40k.
Which is why he died.
Doctor: I'm sorry, but you only have 10 minutes before you die
Me: *Listens to this masterpiece
He was truly the best among them , the most inhuman looking of the primarchs ended up being the most human
I don’t think Sanguinius was nearly the most inhuman looking, aside from the wings he looked as human as Guilleman or The Kahn, that title may have to go to someone like Magnus or even Mortarion.
@@The.Orange.Wizard the thing is Magnus and Mortarion can hide their mutations under armor if they wish. Giant wings don't fit inside power armor.
@@skillganon606 But did they? Magnus at least, in most of his 30k images bared his ‘mutations’ and psychic powers openly.
I get the idea but I really can’t see Sanguinius looking inhuman, the wings giant as they are aren’t that big a deal compared to the red giant literally glowing with psychic power.
No one loved their sons more than Sanguinius.
He is the archetype saviour, son of a Godlike creature, infused with amazing powers but he devoted his life to mankind, to the species. He lived for others and when the end came he was able to sacrifice his life to save us all. The perfect example, a figure worthy of worship.
this discription remind me of Jesus Christ🥸
Indeed, the archetype saviour @@EG-kx4vp
This was a badass speech especially following this speech he solo’d Both Kabandah and Angron back to back.
there is a reason khorne wouldve preferred sanguinius to angron
And a titan, as I recall.
He detroyed the titan before that 😎
Hearing Sanguinius's speech about his own death and telling the others with him that they already had done enough in service of the Imperium and the Emperor brought tears to my eyes. For Sanguinius, for the Emperor.
Referenced later by Sanguinius saying he hasn't done enough. Yes. yes you have. 😥
@@sadhappy8860 it’s a manipulation technique he used to convince the low IQ mob. Kinda cruel and cold.
One of the few shreds of actual nobility in such a terrible galaxy, and you managed to bring it out masterfully. I don't think i've seen life breathed into a Primarch so perfectly in all the years i've followed the lore. You've done well.
There's a lot of nobility everywhere in 40k. If there wasn't, then it wouldn't be a tragic setting. Somehow, some people have come under the impression that the stupid memes about everything being evil and terrible are true. That _only_ applies to the Dark Eldar faction, because they're the only properly evil faction in the whole setting.
Sanginus is the best Primarch, hands down, and IU say that as someone whose marine army ISN'T blood angels
if ere there was a better rendition of this speech, i have yet to hear it. this is EXACTLY how i heard sanguinius' voice and this speech in my head
First, thank you very much! Second, go ahead and check out the one by voice over artist/actor Christopher Tester (along with his tons of other WH40K voiceover demos) as well! His works, skills, and raw talent are all an inspiration to me in terms of voiceovers/voice acting!
"But because it is right" hits harder than anything
It's like the rarest dew drop of pure gold in the world of Warhammer 40K. Doing something, because it's morally right.
Hearing those words got me wanting to be a martyr!
The Emperor’s angel. A fallen son.. beloved by all. Even the traitors envy him.
RIP Sanguinius,
This one video. THIS ONE VIDEO. Has made Sanguinius my favorite Primarch. One trope i love is people who know theyre going to die walk towards that death with open arms. Sanguinius at the Eternity Gate is the hypest moment in all of 40K.
“The will of humanity’s warrior spirit”
The delivery of the ending, the second "Will you run" almost sounds like he's pleading for those to run, to save themselves, to live, not for their sake but for his. At the same time it almost sounds like he's asking himself, the demigod side of himself if he'll run, abandoning all those here, mere mortals who believed in him, fought with him, survived hell that even an angel cannot come out of unscathed or clean.
My guy, this was brilliant all around. I think people underestimate how difficult it is to catch Sanguinius’s essence from an actor’s perspective. Some 40K speeches run into this trope of “shouting = inspirational”, but at least in this instance, I feel the Angel understood that his audience didn’t need a chest-pounding monologue given at the top of his lungs. Courage can be loud, yes, but it can also be measured and reassuring without needing to be over the top. I REALLY like how you would build up at particular points, and then rein it back in; it really reaffirms that Sanguinius is still a Primarch, one that the Blood Angels can look up to and aspire to be like, but one who remembers he is still (half) human, which is what the average Guard needed to see and hear (considering what they were going up against). Definitely have my like and my sub, and I’m looking forward to hearing more!
Yeah, I was really going for "humanizing" Sanguinius, but as well: he WAS the face of the Imperium! Had to retain some of that "elegance," even if he may have felt otherwise.
I read a novelization about him, not long ago...the overall sort of depiction the Blood Angels were given were as "darkness veiled in epic, elegant glory."
Sanguinius himself, in that story, expressed this sentiment generally, in so many words in a few occasions throughout.
I forget the name of the book...but some guy was on a mission of sorts to gather info about the Blood Angels, and in the end, some scheming lady who wanted to be aggrandized in her position, made it so that even though this fellow knew and recorded the truth about the Angels, she burned his records after his passing, and maintained the imagery on the world she was on that Sanguinius was this saintly paragon of righteousness - the face of the Imperium, even after he passed - which imagery obviously prevailed throughout the Imperium after the Horus Heresy.
It was nifty, and in the audio book version the narrator voice acted Sanguinius a bit, and the overall tone in that actor's voice was a similar place where I leaned, sound-wise, for this depiction. 😁
Exactly i wonder who will play him in a live action tv series.
Check out the voice actor’s thoughts about auditioning for Optimus Prime. His brother told him to be a hero. I’m paraphrasing her but basically don’t be over the tops, but be strong enough to be gentle. The way the VA says it, shivers.
@@LoneSilverW0lf my thought exactly, i immedietely thought of Peter Cullen as well.
Don't you think when you address a crowd they all need to hear it?
This… this is why I love warhammer. The fact that they can write lines that would seem cheesy and over done in other media, yet in warhammer with characters that are noble but human. The delivery is inspiring, and make men want to roar.
The urge to die fighting by sanguinius just so he remembers my name, fuck my name dude can call me a mongrel as long as he remembers me.
Funny thing is, he's a Primarch. Every. Single. Face. He saw that day he'd remember for the rest of his life if he made it past the Siege, your wish would more than likely have been granted
@@ironduke5058he knew almost all his sons not just by their names and faces but also by mark numbers…
I am in tears. This is fiction, yet the mental image of our earth being shattered and broken by monsters and Sanguinius and the Emperor standing in their way is something beautiful and painful.
"It is not the descent toward the shadow nor the rise toward the light that makes us stronger. It is in the endless struggle between the two that greatness of character lies. We are tested, and we do not break."
Sanguinius went to his death knowing his efforts would give the Emperor the chance he needed to survive his coming battle with Horus. Not a certain victory, but a slim chance. He gave his life for a roll of the dice knowing if he did not his father would fall and his empire would fall with him. It is easy to sacrifice for an ideal or for a certainty but to give it willingly for scant hope was courage beyond measure
He loved his people and they loved him, The Great Angel's sacrifice will never be forgotten.
I love that he basically told everyone they can go hide or run with his blessing
Sanguinius for President 2024. Also that was amazing!
People who are reading the Siege of Terra, The end and the death part 2. Im here for emotional support.
We deserved more. He deserved more. Humanity deserved more.
Thanks again Dan for writing a masterpiece.
That...scene...killed me inside. Brutally heartbreaking, man!
I know of all the brothers Guilliman misses in the 41st milennium, it is the great angel he misses most of all. his brother, his friend, his chosen emperor.
I like to think during his time helping Dante on Baal he took his own moment to go down to the tomb of his brother and remember. Remember the glories and the hardships they've endured.
And I do not think it is just Guilliman, but all of them in some form or another. Perhaps loyal ones more, but even in traitors I can see in lore that they miss Sanguinous in one form or another. He would have been even greater than Emperor in the end I think for all he did, but please don't tell the inquisitor in your location...
@@stanfar4934 almost all of them did. Even towards the end, Horus wanted Sanguinius to join him. Hell, even Konrad admitted that he legitimately liked him.
What makes this speech even more epic is what Sanguinius did afterwards...
I am glad that the sons of Dorn stood by him in the end.
Me too!
His own sons, the sons of Dorn, the sons of the Khan, and thousands of mere mortal men and women all stood, fought and died beside him. But they did not run.
Truly a speech and voice worthy of a Primarch. This genuinely inspired me and made me tear up. No way would I abandon Sanguinius to fight alone here.
No one ran.
Bro when he credits his bravery and ferocity to stay and fight to not his Demi god half, but his human side it literally gave me chills. Imagine the reassurance those guardsmen got from hearing that.
This has similar vibes to Commander Erwin's final speech.
Just honestly telling his soldiers that their situation is hopeless and theyre going to die. But inspires them to have faith in those who come after them the same way the previous scouts who passed the torch to them.
Beautiful.
Not a Blood Angels player. Not a Sanguinius fanboy but after that, damnit he is the best Primarch. Well read. Really put some power behind an already epic character.
This rendition literally brought myself to tears. Wow, just wow. Amazing job I hope this blows up you deserve it.
Thank you very much, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've heard other voice actors read this, and their readings are wonderful! (See: Christopher Tester on TikTok, for example. He read this line, as well as Grimaldus' speech from Helsreach, which I also want to take a crack at some time).
This was great fun, though. I always imagined Sanguinius sounding like how I portrayed, a bit higher-pitched baritone, and a narrower and perhaps somewhat more nasal tone.
@@EPÏKUS.MUSÏC The narrow approach and nasal tone is what i felt was missing from others. In the books Sanguinius has been fighting his ass off and i always imagined his noble speech have more exhaustion and grit in it which you captured perfectly.
Same here brother
SAME
i would die lasgun in hand to hold the gate after that narration... damn man perfectly executed ✊️
This is why Warhammer 40k is the BEST Sci-fi Universe ever made❤
Absolutely phenomenal. This is the perfect Sanguinius.
the man himself!
Talk No Jutsu WISHES it was this compelling XD
" Your stories written in the light of your eyes..."
Such an awesome and profound line...
Where Lupercal grew small and resentful as chaos neared the Sanctum Imperialis, the greater, nobler, more beautiful Sanguinius grew. More human, more worthy of the mantle that the emperor and humanity itself placed on the cusp of his angelic wings. He will not be forgotten.
As a son of mortarion i would like to state my envy towards the blood angels for having a gloriously human father
Dusk raiders roll
Mortarion is also human. Just the worst parts of our nature.
You betrayed the best part of your legion on Istvaan 3. They didn't deserve their fate.
This is where you meet your death
It's raining here, which is beyond fitting.
Beautiful.
*tears up*
FOR SANGUINIUS AND FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!!!!!!!!!
We, the Sons of Dorn stand ready. We have choosen this place. This fortification shall be our legacy, and our tomb. We the Sons of Dorn stand ready, not because you ask, or demand, but because you have choosen this place with us.
We stand as a bulwark against the tide a shield against the horror. This is our honor and duty to die here on these ramparts and battlements. The horror is ours to face at your side.
We few, we happy few stand ready to make this place our tomb, and etch into their memories our last moments. Let them see and feel our wrath today here we write our legends our stories our dooms our final glories.
Brothers we stand at the side of the Angel, NONE SHALL PASS WHILE WE LIVE!
Bless the Imperial Fists! For the Emperor!
FOR THE IMPERIUM
The kindness in Sanguinius voice shines through here, I can feel the hope in him, yet not for him, for he has always known his doom, but for the good left in mankind.
You nailed exactly how I pictured this in my head when I first read it. Phenomenal work. Really makes me wanna pick up a Lasgun, hold the wall and give the traitors a death they'll surely regret.
And your/our sacrifice would be remembered for ages to come!
Also, though later in the lore:
CADIA STANDS!
@@EPÏKUS.MUSÏC CADIA LIVES!
Sanguinius always understood something that very few of his brothers did. That all of them, from Lion to Omegon, were not elevated over the mankind, but in fact they were beneath it. They were created to serve while the common guardsmen were created to live.
Isnt vulkan like that also
@@gabeluke4643 In a way, but he was just a swell guy. He didn't consciously understand it.
@@BIGESTblade ?????
So it's universal agreed that SANGUNIUS is the undisputed GOAT 🐐
Under his wings we shall all be Angels forever, stand firm brothers. Do it for those who cannot!
I've always thought that the perfect voice (and look) for Sanguinius is the same as Alucard in Castlevania. Great rendition btw!
Dude, the guy who voiced Alucard (James Callis, I believe) would fit SO WELL! And it was his sort of tone that I was shooting for, but my voice is...not James Callis! 🤣🤣🤣
You've already got me thinking about the eventual abridged series with the same Alucard voice from TFS with Sanguinius being mean.
@@alastor8091🤣🤣🤣 Oh man, TFS! Good stuff!
That's the best 40k voice acted speech I've ever heard, you have a gift, I hope you enjoy doing those that would be a blessing for all mankind if you did more
Such is the plan! 😁
I would fight with sanguinius on the last gate between he'll and humanity and you mate this moment alive.
You have a scary gift.
Use it wisely.
This genuinely broke me, I can’t begin to comprehend how well you made Sanguinius feel like the lore. it’s phenomenal
After this speech i feel like i could have taken down Angron and a Greater Demon by myself.
I know very little about Warhammer 40k, but this guy. This got even my jaded heart pumping.
"The purest light we've ever seen, our hearts bleed to this day"
NOT BECAUSE WE CAN WIN BUT BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT!!!!
This line goes hard af!
Amazing work brother !
" What we do in life echoes in eternity "
Hold the line! Stay with me! If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium [Heaven], and you’re already dead! Brothers, what we do in life… echoes in eternity.”
That's him! Hear his voice! Truly, walking among us is the Great Angel himself! Hear his words, for this performance and this voice could belong to none other! Praise be to Sanguinius! Praise be to the Emperor!
Ok the speach in the audiobook was epic
But this
Just like the speach from grimaldus in the hellsreach animation is just beyond epic my god
Youve outdone yourself
May the Emperor praise you're great work friend
Here I am, sitting alone, crying from a voiceover of the greatest speech I've heard yet.
Emperor Bless
We are the Sons of Dorn, we, are the 7th legion, builders of this fortress. As the Angel has asked us to stand, as he has given us the option to fall back. We can not. We have built these walls, seen what awaits us when we fall. We stand here with you, we stand knowing our fates. What more can we ask for to know where and, when and how we will die. We build these walls, these ramparts, and now they will become our tombs a silent memorial to what we were and our defiance to the warmaster and, his will. We stand with you and will die here on these walls with you. Not one step back.
until the end then! 🤜🤛
Till the end then.@@wesieboy56
As a son of Sanguinius, it's my honor to die along with you, brothers. On the walls you have built.
To die knowing we gave everything we had. To die knowing that if our deaths come today, we will face it with the smiles. To die knowing that we gave people behind us another minute to live.
I'm glad to share these final moments with you brothers.
By the Blood of Sanguinius! None shall pass!
I love the fact that the Demigod in Sanguinius is the one that tempts him to flee, and the Humanity side is what ultimately decided to stay. Fckn Sanguinius is HIM.
Its covered in other materials but the Primarchs do have a strong self-preservation instinct built into them. It's why most survived even as infants in hostile environments like with Angron and the Lion.
Even when they get corrupted into Daemon Primarchs it still exists. During the invasion of Fenris, Magnus as actually dying of his wounds, he'd just return to the Warp after the Wolf Lord he was fighting finished him off but that instinct kicks in and forces Magnus to get up off the snow and stop letting the Wolf Lord wail on him. XD
(He kills the Wolf Lord who dies laughing because he made Magnus cry like a little bitch :P)
Sanguinius doesnt need a primarch aura imbued by the Emperor or any supernatural force, anyone will willingly give their lives and more listening to him speak.
All that remains is for me to ask… Will you run?
At first, in the face of the Great Angel’s honesty, there was no answer.
Corporal Mashrajeir of the 91st Industani Drop Troops didn’t know what to say. Reason and duty warred within him, in a way known to any soldier facing the grimmest odds. He could live. He could leave, and live. His regiment wasn’t made for this kind of fighting anyway. They were guerrillas, drop troops, trained for point insertion. He’d been on the ground for this whole damn war. What use was a grav-trooper on a rampart? What use was high-atmosphere jump training when all he had now was a lasrifle and a bayonet?But he was making excuses, justifying, and he knew it. Mash had the training and the experience to overcome these doubts, to push them back and summon focus in their stead. Besides, there was nowhere to run. Not really. Tactically, it made sense to hold here. If he was going to die, best he sell his life where it would matter most. No, he called to the primarch. And he wasn’t the first, but he was one of them. His voice cut out from the silence in the very first wave of denials. He wouldn’t leave the wall. He wouldn’t run. No!... (cutting out some story)... No! cried the defenders of the wall. They rejected the primarch’s offer with a gestalt sound of vocal thunder. No! No! No!
By the Emperor's Grace We Fight!
And that, comrades and friends is why he’s the GOAT… THE GOAT!!!
He truly was the best of them.
Wil you run?
Never 😢
For the Emperor!!!!
No wonder Guilliman is in perpetual state of depression to the power of 2. Witnessing the Imperium in complete shambles is one thing, but also shouldering the burden of failure when everyone including your most beloved brother depended on your arrival to Terra to turn the tide against Horus, and ultimately fail to do so.
This speech got me wanting to die with my back against the wall slicing as much traitors as possible before I finally fade to black. “Do not go quietly into that dark night! RAGEEEE! RAGEEEEEEE AGAINST THE DYING OF THE LIGHT!” calistarius(mephiston)
That little touch at the end where you have Sanguinius repeat "Will you run?" is masterful. I interpreted it as Sanguinius asking himself. He's scared to die but will fight because he cannot abandon humanity, his charge. A true hero.
One day, if I ever blessed with a son, this video will his lullaby.
Born too late to discover the world, born too early to travel the stars, but i was born at the right time to witness this.
