The mounted weapon was not a lascannon. It was is fact a twin linked multilaser, which is basically a machine gun version of a lasgun. If it had been a lascannon that marine would be turned to goo.
Yeah, that's a multi-lasgun, a minigun equivalent for the Guard. It's still just as 'powerful' as a lasrifle, just with higher fire rate :P That would obviously just tickle a Marine. A lasCANNON on the other hand..... yeah, what he said.
Multilasers are the turret weapons for Chimeras, that one is twin-linked. Its an Infantry Support Weapon that is mainly used as vehicle mounted heavy weapon, in this case like the wheeled anti-tank guns of ww2. It does damage the Sgt's armor, but only the most outer layer.
@@lordmortarius538it’s definitely not the same strength as a lasgun those barrels are MUCH larger than a normal gun, but yeah definitely not a las cannon
People often miss that the briefcase-like thing the guy who ran up behind the Marine and got stabbed in the gut was carrying was a melta bomb. He was a suicide bomber.
Watch it back at .5 speed. There are little details that add SO much to the story. The smaller fighter ship early on that throws a cover distraction for boarding vessel. The way the Bolter Pistol has a two stage trigger from semi-auto to full auto. The Psy Field that blocks the Bolter rounds as it’s blasting through the air. The Astartes who leaps to save his commander intentionally using his Bolter as the initial threat to open up his opponent for a knife kill to the face. Absolutely incredible. It really is a shame GW had to once again ruin a good thing we had going.
As a little aside for the fighter escort, if you look closely, it wasn't just a distraction. You can see it fire missiles that take out the engines on the vessel as the boarding pod was approaching.
@@KhronicD Seen the entire thing so many times but never noticed this before. They completely neutralize the propulsion system to make it an easier target. Phenomenal.
Long story short, here is what happened and why in Astartes(That I believe): All the grey armored warriors were Astartes, which are genetically engineered super soldiers with minds and bodies many times more powerful than the "baseline" humans who saw them stomping. They are called Space Marines, and are from the Adeptus Astartes Chapter "Retributors." (The creator of the animation made this chapter up for the videos, they dont exist in the lore) This detachment has been sent, probably ordered by the Inquisition, to destroy the orb artefacts we see in the video. A squad was sent on a breaching pod to enter the ship, which they did by flying at it and cutting into the hull with lasers, kill any they encounter, and render the warp artefacts inert or destroyed. On their way to the orbs, the squad encounters a pair of psykers. These psykers are powerful beings who possess a connection to "The Warp." It is a dimension connected but also separate to our own. There creatures which are created and fueled by the power of mortal souls and powerful emotion seek to corrupt or destroy mortals and their dimension (mostly just because). The masks you see their pair of psykers are called Psychic Hoods. They allow psykers to channel their powers much more controllably, as some psykers, if they are not extremely powerful, or attempt to channel forces more powerful than they are, can go mad, become focal points for rifts into the warp, or even become demon possessed. Inspite of what you might think, the pair of psykers we see are not particularly powerful ones. The most powerful psykers, called Alphas, can be capable of destroying cities or star ships. This is probably one of the reasons they wear the hoods, to give them a boost in power and control. Also, the hoods allow another person a measure of control over the wearer. The Astartes squad kill them in short order, and proceed into a vault in the enemy ship, which is likely psychically shielded, to find the orbs. When the astartes "stab" the orb, we see a connection has been made with it, which allows the Inquisitor back on the Astartes ship to essentially listen in on the psychic communication between the orbs. This was clearly not a good idea. After the unintelligible conversation the Inquisitor hears between the orbs, this is what the orbs said to each other. Orb1 "who is here?" Orb2 "I have failed, brother" (couldn't stop the marines or corrupt them) Orb1 "We have all failed" (he's captured) Orb1 "the Astartes deny our touch" (they have a hard time controlling them) Orb2 "You must return... Break your seal!" (returning from the warp to "normal" universe and get free from the inquisitors seal) Orb1 "Impossible, we'll never survive!" Orb2 "You must. take the alpha" (the inquisitor since he's the highest ranked and has psyker powers, he is the "Alpha". If the orb controls him, it has the entire ship 'the Daemon that is.'). This is where the inquisitor drops his concentration to warn them, (“Pull them back immediately!”). The inquisitor is immediately corrupted by the power of the warp wielded by the orb artefacts, and we see him receiving visions, chanting heresy, and finally succumbing to madness. As orb 1 (the daemon) does this, it takes control of the inquisitor, but before it can do anything the commander warns his troops ("Get them out Now!")and takes the soon to be possessed inquisitor out. The impulsor sergeant (space marine) receives comms to watch out but its too late and the Daemon of orb 2 sucks them into the warp. Warhammer 40k is extremely hostile space the moment it uses its psyker powers within the warp it lights up like a Christmas tree and other daemons kill it thus it lets the marines go and they get warped to a different location. Fun fact... if the commander was a second or 2 slower the entire ship would have been corrupted and they would have died. Also possessed Psykers are very hard to kill, blowing off the head doesn't mean they are dead, you really have to dismantle the whole body." Immediately we go back to our hero Astartes squad and see why they were warned. Their orb "takes" them. Dragging them within the confines of the orb. We dont really know where they go when we see them tethered inside the orb. Whether the Astartes are in the warp, or a psychic vision, some other place... who knows. What we do see is that our hero Astartes are then teleported (through the warp - which is why he throws up blood) to a death planet. And that is basically what the story of Astartes is.
The orb said "No escape. I have failed. We have all failed. The Astartes defy our touch. You must return! Break your seal! We'll never survive. You must take them!" And then the Inquisitor says "Recall them immediately!" then the Inquisitor gets possessed.
I feel like he would've not gotten possessed if he didn't break focus to tell the Head of Command to recall his team OR he knew he was gonna lose so he used his last second of freedom to tell the chain in command to recall his team
not a lot of people notice, at about 11:50 when the psyker sends that burst of energy out, it knocks aside the marines bolter rounds, you can see them being deflected off random directions as the wave pushes outward. They have such insane level of detail in this, down to the ammo counters ticking down accurately.
The fact that 2 Psykers that seem to either be Expert or Master Level is CRAZY because they had the power but lacked coordination, they died because they both focused 1 marine instead of one focus him and the other protect him. Because that Psyker only got shot from stupidity and he was not trying to be offensive, those Psykers could've killed that guy in seconds but for some reason were not wanting to decimate him in seconds? Idk, seems odd.
11:10 I think this moment is so cool too. The detail of the two-section trigger and him having to apply pressure to the gun in order to not make it slip from the recoil. This series is unreal
Info: The scene with the heavy weapon platform and friendly fire. The heavy weapon is most likely a Multi laser or twin linked multilaser. Not as strong as a las-cannon, more like a type of MG Lasgun. Still strong, but a lascannon whould have melted the marine. The marine tries to fire at the Heavy weapon with his boltpistol, but it's shields blocks the shots. So he stands down by taking cover and throws a "smoke" grenade. The smoke grenade is obviously a "blind" grenade. Its a suped up Smoke grenade, that also works as a flash and even gives away Counter electronics etc, so its a smoke grenade that stops Infra red, scanners, radio etc. Thats why the Multilasers targeter gets messed up/flashed. So a smoke++. The Marine then uses a Plasma Pistol to shoot the heavy weapon team, and what I think is smart here (lore wise), is that the marine cant se thrue blind (nothing can), so he is firering thrue with pure memory awareness, like "it should be about here!". And nails it. Bad ass 9000. Great reaction. Cheers.
Great Summary, I love it. We gotta remember their brains are made to remember stuff like that, to build them up for each fight, like if they fought a Master level psyker (they didn't) they would understand how to properly fight one in another fight, so on. But cheers
Yeah, I agree. I always took it as the Marine using the bolt pistol almost as a spotting weapon, to get a feel for what his body position needs to be when he takes the plasma shot. Awesome stuff.
Especially the fact those helmets are 100% soundproof, like not even a MARINE can make that much noise, for a normal ass human? that definitely destroyed his vocals
My favourite touch from the entire series is when they spray him with the laser. And instead of worrying about his own safety, he tries to kill the cannon team, and only when he sees that his bolter is ineffective, does he deploy smoke and take cover.
I mean, it was either that or get impoverished by copyright lawsuits from GW :P That's how all corporations work when it comes to their IPs. Nintendo is infamous for this.
The "cone face" is a Mk VI Corvus pattern helmet. Also known as a "beakie". And IIRC the different helmets flashed at the end represent the homebrew space marine chapters of some of his patrons.
If you go to 25:43 and watch the pedestals in the distance, you can hear the "thump" of the music is timed with the sound of the other marines being warped in onto those pedestals. (His cam is blocking 1 or 2 of them) This would allow the vision that the psyker to come true, since he sees the squad of marines in the hand of a skeleton. There's still a few things I haven't quite connected, but I thought it was worth sharing^^ since it's a pretty big hint towards the future.
For context, the Orb Dialog to each other that the Inquisition overhears: (according to reddit and the author (sorta)) "...no escape. I have failed brother." 'We have all failed. The Astartes deny our touch. You must return, break your seal." "Impossible, (I) will never survive." "You must! Take them!" Then the Inquisitor interrupts and shouts: "Recall them Immediately!" It's also believed that we see a Demon from the Warp (hell) drag them into the Warp Gate and is then killed by something else that bursts up from below, releasing the Marines out onto the planet. A cool note, after the head marine arrives and looks out over the valley, you can see his Brothers arrive on nearby islands around him, at least the teleport effects are seen that delivered him to the area.
I always felt like the delayed hit of the plasma pistol was what hit the warp creature and released the Astartes. It was the Psyckers last effort? But the Psycker was dead a full 60 seconds before the Astartes started getting sucked in?
@@NickWebb-lc6ry It might be one or the other or even some 3rd party mechanism from SMs ship. Plasma shot theory has the weakness of "why it catches up this late and how it doesn't miss after all this time - did the creature flight in straight line all the time?" and the Inquisitor didn't seem to be able to attack creatures at any point really - he barely was able to not get broken when fully focused, when he lost his focus to warn marines about incoming danger to their strike team, he was attacked and broken.
Yeah... there's a problem with Mr Pedersen getting hired. They hired him, got him to sign the contract, and then gave him no work at all. They shut this man down because he was doing warhammer better than they were.
Yes, I'm sure that's why all of the sudden a bunch of the trailers and animations suddenly look similar to this when CGI is involved... he totally had nothing to do with it.
I was asking why we didn’t heard of this guy since he was « hired » is that real ? He hasn’t work since ? Thought he was on Warhammer 2 the game Im really sad
The rounds these guns fire are called "bolts" (the gun is called a bolter), they're armor piercing rocket-propelled rounds that explode after they pierce into a target (or after their rocket propellant runs out) The space marines in this are using the smaller .75 caliber bolts, but larger bolts are .993
That boarding craft is a Caestus Assault Ram, which uses twin-linked Magna Meltas, big microwave guns, to just melt a hole in the enemy ship in order for the Marines to board. Other Chapters prefer boarding torpedoes, which are more insane but also allow those boarding to be deployed in multiple different areas. Gotta love 40K Bolter shells are really mass-reactive rocket propelled grenades that explode when surrounded by mass (e.g. a body). They're definitely not normal bullets, those are reserved for Guardsmen for use in weapons like stubbers, shotguns, and gatling guns. Astartes can sprint upwards of 50-60 mph, and it's been said of them that nothing that big should move that fast. Imagine a full ton of angry superhuman in damn near impenetrable armor barreling down on you at highway speeds. I'd shit myself, I know that much. "beaked" helmets are from the Mk VI Corvus Power Armour, designed to be more aerodynamic and holds a sensor suite for more successful stealth missions. The Raven Guard use a LOT of these as that is kind of their M.O.
When they get sucked in, that thing grabbing them was whatever the orb's true form in the warp is. And... well, it attempted to warp travel without a Gellar Field or Webway (basically warp shield or warp tunnel)... and suffered perils of the warp, instantly getting obliterated.
I saw it as getting attacked. You see a cloud strike it that resembles the same aura as the psyker that was just recently killed by the two white astartes. Even in death he serves
The other marines don't actually get separated from the main marine at the end, which I am assuming is the squad leader. If you look closely at the other monoliths/pedestals in the background you can see small flashes on the tops of a few of them and that's the other marines being teleported to the same location.
.75 caliber dual stage rounds a kicker charge launches the bolt out of the barrel once clear the bolt ignites a small rocket engine accelerating itself towards the target once hit the round penetrates the target and detonates an explosive warhead inside this is how a bolter works
So fun fact If you listen carefully you can hear the psyker yell "RECALL YOUR MEN". This is because of the conversation the two space nards had about failure and the Astartes resisting their touch and dropping their shields and saying "You must Take them" So inquisitor psyker bro breaks silence and yells to have the men saved, revealing himself within the warp, and being consumed by it. Giving his life just to save a few Space Marines. Unfortunately as we saw, he was too late and the other ball was like "Bet" and wormholed them to another dimension or yeeted them across the galaxy. Psyker Bro is a hero.
Further detail: When the space marines were being held inside of the warp by the beast, it got hit with a wave of black smoke. You can also see black smoke around the inquisitor as he listens in in the orb. This means he either attacked it and forced it to let the space marines go, or his death caused a psychic backlash, which released them.
He was not a Hero, mind you that was a VERY VERY indulged Psyker, meaning it would take a very powerful Daemon to possess someone like him, MEANING that a VERY powerful Daemon was gonna kill everyone there. He said recall them because he wanted to save as many marines before he gets possessed, those 2 that stayed there to fight, were 100% murdered by the psyker, because it takes about 2 mags to kill a normal possessed psyker, it takes up to 5-6 to kill a VERY strong Psyker. There is no way on god's green earth that those Marines made it out alive sadly, but they most likely saved a few people on that planet/ship, but that Possessed Psyker 100% murdered everyone who was in a 500 foot radius and wasn't in an area sealed with holy signs and religious belief.
@@Lambent_Omega I do not believe it could've been the Inquisitor, as he was possessed and most surely murdered the men amongst the area, as he seemed to be a very indulged being in Psyker Mancy, especially the Hood and all of the Religious Belief, indicating he had MANY power boosts which makes him a very powerful foe, he himself can probably take down 5 marines by himself. What possessed him was a Daemon which 100% murdered everyone there who wasn't hidden by Religious Belief insignias or seals, they take well over 5 magazines to kill, MAGAZINES, that is if they don't try and protect themselves like how those 2 psykers did it. They are nearly impossible foes to kill if the daemon knows what he's doing. That Inquisitor was most likely sent to hell like them but ripped apart, when he was killed, it most definitely caused that backlash and daemons seen the daemon holding marines and attacked them. Mind you, Hell is essentially a war zone for power, that daemon was probably a middle-ish level of power and something of it's same caliber or higher attacked it to get those marines which caused it to let go and get teleported instead of murdered or possessed. Where they were sent was most likely a death-planet where they will perish from lack of food, water and much more.
@markimoo157 How was he an "indulged psyker?" How do you know the psyker fully got possessed? You realize it's not instant right? He was comprised, but not necessarily possessed. And those 2 marines are veterans or even higher, so how do you know they died? You based everything you said on assumptions and acted like it's facts. Lmao😊
The confusing thing is before this started there are 2 demons, 1 is already captured and on the Astartes ship. The other is on a pirate vessel and has taken over the minds of the men there, and is creating an army of golden warriors who use the demons powers. The Astartes is attacking the pirate ship in order to obtain the other demon brother before there plans have a chance to hatch, but the 2 demon brothers talked and the one with the Astartes squad releases himself which is what is sucking the Marines in.
It wasn't 2 daemons, it was a warp entity which the Inquisitor (who was most likely a Master-level Psyker) tried to contain the thing OR get rid of it entirely by killing or beating it, which he was locked in a battle between himself and the warp entity (as you see when you see it talking to him, it's trying to break his mind) which was working and he used his final breathe to scream at the commander to recall his men immediately, which he does, but it was too late because that small second of losing concentration allows him to become possessed. Mind you, stuff like those HOODS, religious smoke that was on his hands, those things are POWER boosts, they make him MUCH MUCH stronger than what he already is, he was most likely Alpha-level of power maybe. He got possessed and for someone of his Caliber to be frightened by the Warp Entity meant that a REALLY REALLY powerful daemon was trying to possess him THROUGH the Warp Entity which it did. It 100% murdered EVERYONE on that ship or planet if they weren't hiding behind Religious Seals or marks. You seen how 1 shot killed those men in the first scene? it takes about 5-6 magazines into their SKULL to even kill a powerful possessed Psyker. There was zero way those 2 survived, it would've NEEDED over 20 of them to be able to kill that psyker without being harmed.
I think they could be C’Tan shards that were taken/escaped from the Necrons. The body that they were making was going to house the C’Tan’s mind. And the graveyard is either from the C’Tan or the Old Ones.
The creator of Astartes is a fkn GENIUS!!!!!! From the screen angles, lighting, colour gradient to the music score and sound effects every aspect of his story telling is simply perfection at its finest. You'll be hard pressed to find anyone with this exceptional gift. Has anyone ever interviewed this man? If not, he must be hunted down, put on public display, and prodded with a stick.
secret chapter of astartes working with a powerful inquisition psyker, I kind of view it as they went in to tap into the second orb so the psyker to could listen in then he was possessed by the one onboard there ship there was some muffled dialogue the psyker warned them to pull the marines out - then moment's later they are all pulled in
18:43 to 19:06 #1 “Whose there” #2 “I have failed, brother #1 “we have all failed” #2“The astartes deny our touch” #1 “You must return, break your seal” #2 “Impossible, we’ll never survive” #1 “You must. Take the Alpha.”
P is for priceless, the look upon your faces E is for extinction, of all your puny races R is for revolution, wich will be televised F is for how fu**ed you are, now allow me to reprise...
What I love about this animation is how different it is from your atypical marine encounter. The scene where he uses a flash grenade to blind the gunner so he can take out the gun carriage with a plasma shot is a pure tactics wet dream. This isn't a front-lines battle, this is an *operation*
I'll never forget the time I saw a 10-man squad of regular guardsmen buffed up by an attached priest bayonet charge a fully kitted out assault marine squad and wipe them out to the last man.
One time White Dwarf magazine released a "Movie Maries", or lore accurate list it was ~ 3rd or 4th Ed, and a Razoeback and 10 Tactical Marines was a 1,500pt, competitive, army
Рік тому
I mean they do against normal guardsman. My brother shot my group of 5 heavy intercessors with a 20 man squad of kriegsman equipped with lashings, plasma guns and grenade launchers and managed to kill ONE space marine
Always remember, that bolter pistol that they use is first of all it shoots rockets/missiles and they literally blow up on contact. Handheld automatic rocketlauncher.. that is space marine pistol.
this is what happens when a true fan with talent works on a big project alone with one vision and implements it perfectly. you give this to a team of fans and things probably don't turn out as flushed out. perfect
I love the lore building. I couldn't help but do the same myself. I really hope GW just showers him with resources and gives him complete creative control, I just don't know if it will work out that way.
My favorite is when the heretic with the large gun hiding in the wall is shooting, you might not notice at first but an astartes appears in the light up of the muzzle behind him and it’s so menacing
When they were in the "Shadow Realm," they were really in the warp. They were pulled into the warp, unshielded, when the entity (the sphere) was attacked by another warp entity, where they they popped out into... ... ... Somewhere, in some plane of the warp. (Being in the warp unshielded would explain the bloody vomit. Very few could survive such an experience, but our guy pulled through, even if it did a lot of damage.)
Another awesome thing to note is when the astartes fires his plasma pistol twice at the psychers/whatever the hell those things were, he immediately discards it due to their tendency to, umm.... "fail" after doing that. There's also a good chance that's what blows his hand off later, since its the same space marine and we can assume its the same pistol. He took out the turret, double fired it a little bit later and over heated it, then fired it with the entire front of the pistol inside the orb. Those gun prayers may have got him an extra shot, at the end he pushed his luck a little too far. Though, I'd probably try the same given the circumstances. When you're getting eaten by a 25ft floating orb, might as well throw the kitchen sink at it
So the best we can figure out so far, is that these orbs that were being investigated, are in fact, the sealed parts of forgotten or erased chaos god. A chaos god of a long lost race of giants. The being we saw being a hint at its true nature, and the place where everything was dead being the crypt of its long dead kin.
18:15 ... it's not the same orb, there are 2 different orbs, they are even a slightly different colour :V , not to mention that the orbs are talking to each other :V
All I know is those orbs were beginning to put off warp energy.... not sure where that one marine was dropped off but that place gives off lost civilization and or "some where far away in the warp" vibes
One cool thing about the gear the rebels are packing: many of the rifles look like real guns or mixes of modern real guns. In episode 2 I spot rifles that are mixes of Kel-Tec Sub-2000 and TRW LMR. And the dude who got bisected dropped a Korsak EM-1.
What I can get from this is that: they are trying to hack into the first orb. the rods stabbed to the first orb is some kind of a connector to the fake orb (the second one). The priest looking guy is connected to the fake orb and works as the hacker. Its either the priest guy hacked too deep or the orb is much stronger and it reversed the hacking. The priest was able to communicate the hacked info before being hacked by the orb. The info they want to get I believe is a location of some sort because the orb is also a teleporter or something
That was a warp entity that the inquisition was trying to kill. The creature made itself vulnerable when it the astartes into the warp and got killed by another warpborne creature.
These dudes are simple-minded consumers, not even acknowledging the work and effort put into this by one person alone. They just cheer and yap at the sight of action.
yall notice that gun he blessed from the beginning got absolutely obliterated along with his lower arm when it was going into that orb thing.... minor little detail, but very awesome reference in story telling
In the scene where they are on death planet, there are 5 columns, it seems whole team appeared there, you can see them teleporting, small reflection of their armours
Cone helmet or Beakie is a Mark 6 Helmet the others wear Mark 7 veteran Marines are honoured by receiving artificer or venerated (older marks) armour pieces the white helmet is an insignia of veterans. The captain also wears a white helmet and the cape.
The guy communing with the orb looks like an Adeptus Mechanicus Tech Priest that communes with the Machine Spirit.. or a Psyker. According to what i've read, the guy communing went nuts is probably getting Possessed by whatever is within that orb. Probably a Psyker because they use Warp Energy... That's why they killed him.
What's unsettling about the enemy, and why they needed to be wiped out was that those two big guys.... they weren't humans. They were constructs. Just like the huge gold dude that was unfinished. And probably every little human soldier who so silently went to their deaths were drones; humans who'd been implanted with the same kind of spinal device as was sticking out of the big guys...only you couldn't see it on the little guys because it probably replaced their actual spines. You can see a collection of those spinal implants all around the huge gold guy, waiting to be implanted. The two big gold guys were in various levels of completion when the Astartes attacked. One had one eye, but both arms, while the other only had one arm, but both eyes. They were rushed into action before they could be properly completed. The HUGE gold guy would have been a new vessel for...whatever exists in the Spheres.
5:44 - I think where you criticize the seemingly untouchable nature of the marines, I think two got smashed on the balcony by some sort of counter attack while the one marine was charging.
9:25 is an Imperial Inquisitor. His authority is second to none but the Emperor himself. He is the pinnacle of what mankind can muster for psychic power. Many people will say he got mind broken instantly, but notice how he steadied himself, and then scream for his bodyguard to kill him. To have the raw willpower to maintin even a fraction of sanity, is astonishing. Emperor's will manifest, blessed inquisition.
Yea very cool. A lesser being would've had their head melted in an instant having seen/heard what this psyker was listening in on. Yet their concentration lapsed for but a moment which was enough for the entity to possess him. Cosmic horror is so fucking cool, like what the fuck are we looking at. Makes you think if we were to experience something of a cosmic communion or connection ourselves that we cannot even fathom, we would rightly go insane lol.
he screamed to warn the captain; his mind wasn't broken until after the warning; also, only a few Inquisitors are psykers, since they're big on the anathema list for the Inquisition, so they would have to be especially exceptional to be in the Inquisition
Just want to ask, probably more than me seen this. At the end, if you look closely at the other pillars, you can see the rest of the 4 Marines teleport in. Witch makes this place massive.
Well… GW first sent him a cease and desist and threatened to sue the guy if he made anymore. Let’s not forget about that. So now the animator got picked up by GW working on GW projects instead of doing his own thing.
that is not true, they didnt get seperated, if u watch closely you can see other platforms at the center of this dead planet and there ist the same lighteffect hath happend,when he got transported to this place
The robed man who gets possed has the Inquisition's insignia on his robes. It was likely his panicking that got him possed. After hearing the conversation taking place, and both orbs intentions, he broke his concentration to warn the astartes. It was only for a second, but it was all the orb needed. He quickly tries to return to his prayers but his defenses were already breached.
the bolters the space marines use should have a pop to them, from my understanding each round is it's own self propelled rocket so it's like getting hit with a tiny RPG
The cone faced helmets are 'Tactical' marines (the original space marine helm they all had when Warhammer 40k first came out), where as the snub-nosed, vented helmets are 'Assault' marines.
Is it common for tabletop players not knowing lore? Asking since the lore is all i am interested in. I mean, i thought the lore came with playing. Thats why i am asking
@@CorvusCorone68I don't play as o said and I have not read the books, yet. I've been listening to Lutin here on UA-cam as a way of falling asleep for like 3 years now. I understood more of Astartes than the two people in the video. Surprised me a lot!
First. Bolts, not bullets. Second. Bolters, not guns. Third. The guy in the red robe i'd say is an inerrogator psyker from Inquisition at the very least, but the symbol on his back means he's actually with the adeptus ministorum. Deffinately not Frateris Templar they got disbanded in M 36 after Goge Vandire. And he is also not with sororitas. So just a random eclesiarchy representative he was. And finally they're sedating alien nanotech psyker orb, not making some ritual.

The mounted weapon was not a lascannon. It was is fact a twin linked multilaser, which is basically a machine gun version of a lasgun. If it had been a lascannon that marine would be turned to goo.
😂😂😂😂😂 I spit milk out my nose
I'm still laughing at this comment
Yeah, that's a multi-lasgun, a minigun equivalent for the Guard. It's still just as 'powerful' as a lasrifle, just with higher fire rate :P That would obviously just tickle a Marine.
A lasCANNON on the other hand..... yeah, what he said.
Multilasers are the turret weapons for Chimeras, that one is twin-linked. Its an Infantry Support Weapon that is mainly used as vehicle mounted heavy weapon, in this case like the wheeled anti-tank guns of ww2. It does damage the Sgt's armor, but only the most outer layer.

People often miss that the briefcase-like thing the guy who ran up behind the Marine and got stabbed in the gut was carrying was a melta bomb. He was a suicide bomber.
Yeah, it was a limpet charge. Usually used to kill tanks. Given it was 40k, it probably WAS a Melta limpet charge.
@@Kalebfenoir and a space marine is also basically a tank, lol.
@@Kalebfenoirlooks like the same kind of charge the Ork uses to kill a Dreadnaught in the first dawn of war intro trailer
I always thought it was helmet, some recruit who just got gutted by running in the wrong direction.
Good eye
It’s because you’re wrong. He was carrying his lunch that his mom packed him.
Watch it back at .5 speed. There are little details that add SO much to the story. The smaller fighter ship early on that throws a cover distraction for boarding vessel. The way the Bolter Pistol has a two stage trigger from semi-auto to full auto. The Psy Field that blocks the Bolter rounds as it’s blasting through the air. The Astartes who leaps to save his commander intentionally using his Bolter as the initial threat to open up his opponent for a knife kill to the face. Absolutely incredible. It really is a shame GW had to once again ruin a good thing we had going.
As a little aside for the fighter escort, if you look closely, it wasn't just a distraction. You can see it fire missiles that take out the engines on the vessel as the boarding pod was approaching.
@@KhronicD Seen the entire thing so many times but never noticed this before. They completely neutralize the propulsion system to make it an easier target. Phenomenal.
Long story short, here is what happened and why in Astartes(That I believe):
All the grey armored warriors were Astartes, which are genetically engineered super soldiers with minds and bodies many times more powerful than the "baseline" humans who saw them stomping. They are called Space Marines, and are from the Adeptus Astartes Chapter "Retributors." (The creator of the animation made this chapter up for the videos, they dont exist in the lore)
This detachment has been sent, probably ordered by the Inquisition, to destroy the orb artefacts we see in the video. A squad was sent on a breaching pod to enter the ship, which they did by flying at it and cutting into the hull with lasers, kill any they encounter, and render the warp artefacts inert or destroyed.
On their way to the orbs, the squad encounters a pair of psykers. These psykers are powerful beings who possess a connection to "The Warp." It is a dimension connected but also separate to our own. There creatures which are created and fueled by the power of mortal souls and powerful emotion seek to corrupt or destroy mortals and their dimension (mostly just because).
The masks you see their pair of psykers are called Psychic Hoods. They allow psykers to channel their powers much more controllably, as some psykers, if they are not extremely powerful, or attempt to channel forces more powerful than they are, can go mad, become focal points for rifts into the warp, or even become demon possessed.
Inspite of what you might think, the pair of psykers we see are not particularly powerful ones. The most powerful psykers, called Alphas, can be capable of destroying cities or star ships. This is probably one of the reasons they wear the hoods, to give them a boost in power and control. Also, the hoods allow another person a measure of control over the wearer.
The Astartes squad kill them in short order, and proceed into a vault in the enemy ship, which is likely psychically shielded, to find the orbs.
When the astartes "stab" the orb, we see a connection has been made with it, which allows the Inquisitor back on the Astartes ship to essentially listen in on the psychic communication between the orbs.
This was clearly not a good idea. After the unintelligible conversation the Inquisitor hears between the orbs, this is what the orbs said to each other.
Orb1 "who is here?"
Orb2 "I have failed, brother" (couldn't stop the marines or corrupt them)
Orb1 "We have all failed" (he's captured)
Orb1 "the Astartes deny our touch" (they have a hard time controlling them)
Orb2 "You must return... Break your seal!" (returning from the warp to "normal" universe and get free from the inquisitors seal)
Orb1 "Impossible, we'll never survive!"
Orb2 "You must. take the alpha" (the inquisitor since he's the highest ranked and has psyker powers, he is the "Alpha". If the orb controls him, it has the entire ship 'the Daemon that is.').
This is where the inquisitor drops his concentration to warn them, (“Pull them back immediately!”). The inquisitor is immediately corrupted by the power of the warp wielded by the orb artefacts, and we see him receiving visions, chanting heresy, and finally succumbing to madness.
As orb 1 (the daemon) does this, it takes control of the inquisitor, but before it can do anything the commander warns his troops ("Get them out Now!")and takes the soon to be possessed inquisitor out.
The impulsor sergeant (space marine) receives comms to watch out but its too late and the Daemon of orb 2 sucks them into the warp.
Warhammer 40k is extremely hostile space the moment it uses its psyker powers within the warp it lights up like a Christmas tree and other daemons kill it thus it lets the marines go and they get warped to a different location.
Fun fact... if the commander was a second or 2 slower the entire ship would have been corrupted and they would have died. Also possessed Psykers are very hard to kill,
blowing off the head doesn't mean they are dead, you really have to dismantle the whole body."
Immediately we go back to our hero Astartes squad and see why they were warned. Their orb "takes" them. Dragging them within the confines of the orb. We dont really know where they go when we see them tethered inside the orb. Whether the Astartes are in the warp, or a psychic vision, some other place... who knows. What we do see is that our hero Astartes are then teleported (through the warp - which is why he throws up blood) to a death planet.
And that is basically what the story of Astartes is.
Don’t forget that you can see the other squadmates pop in on other columns in the background at the end
That was a lot of typing
wasnt it the inquisitor that disrupted the orb's tether to the astartes that freed them? his soul's last act of defiance
What’s a death planet?
@@draconicishaI believe so
The orb said "No escape. I have failed. We have all failed. The Astartes defy our touch. You must return! Break your seal! We'll never survive. You must take them!" And then the Inquisitor says "Recall them immediately!" then the Inquisitor gets possessed.
Also, someone more clever than I figured out that the Inquisitor/Psyker said "Astartes are in danger" or something to that effect.
All cool, but i feel like "that guy" saying that he was an inquisitorial psyker, not an inquisitor
@@Dohnutninja1337 "Recall them immediately"
That Psyker didn't get possessed. He was getting his soul torched, and acting as a beacon for any forces of chaos to possess him.
I feel like he would've not gotten possessed if he didn't break focus to tell the Head of Command to recall his team OR he knew he was gonna lose so he used his last second of freedom to tell the chain in command to recall his team
not a lot of people notice, at about 11:50 when the psyker sends that burst of energy out, it knocks aside the marines bolter rounds, you can see them being deflected off random directions as the wave pushes outward. They have such insane level of detail in this, down to the ammo counters ticking down accurately.
Or the first plasma shot.
You see it hit before you hear it
The fact that 2 Psykers that seem to either be Expert or Master Level is CRAZY because they had the power but lacked coordination, they died because they both focused 1 marine instead of one focus him and the other protect him.
Because that Psyker only got shot from stupidity and he was not trying to be offensive, those Psykers could've killed that guy in seconds but for some reason were not wanting to decimate him in seconds? Idk, seems odd.
11:10
I think this moment is so cool too. The detail of the two-section trigger and him having to apply pressure to the gun in order to not make it slip from the recoil. This series is unreal
@@markimoo157 Theyre more like intermidiate level
Insane level of detail
Info: The scene with the heavy weapon platform and friendly fire.
The heavy weapon is most likely a Multi laser or twin linked multilaser. Not as strong as a las-cannon, more like a type of MG Lasgun. Still strong, but a lascannon whould have melted the marine.
The marine tries to fire at the Heavy weapon with his boltpistol, but it's shields blocks the shots. So he stands down by taking cover and throws a "smoke" grenade.
The smoke grenade is obviously a "blind" grenade. Its a suped up Smoke grenade, that also works as a flash and even gives away Counter electronics etc, so its a smoke grenade that stops Infra red, scanners, radio etc. Thats why the Multilasers targeter gets messed up/flashed. So a smoke++.
The Marine then uses a Plasma Pistol to shoot the heavy weapon team, and what I think is smart here (lore wise), is that the marine cant se thrue blind (nothing can), so he is firering thrue with pure memory awareness, like "it should be about here!". And nails it. Bad ass 9000.
Great reaction.
Cheers.
Great Summary, I love it.
We gotta remember their brains are made to remember stuff like that, to build them up for each fight, like if they fought a Master level psyker (they didn't) they would understand how to properly fight one in another fight, so on.
But cheers
Yeah, I agree. I always took it as the Marine using the bolt pistol almost as a spotting weapon, to get a feel for what his body position needs to be when he takes the plasma shot. Awesome stuff.
That inquisitor had to have been screaming for there to be audible words coming from him through that helmet. jesus.
Especially the fact those helmets are 100% soundproof, like not even a MARINE can make that much noise, for a normal ass human? that definitely destroyed his vocals
When you slow down the bloter shell hits you can actually see he's animated the explosive force going off inside the heads and bodies.
Its absolutely disgusting how much work he put in
Disgustingly awesome, good eye homie
My favourite touch from the entire series is when they spray him with the laser. And instead of worrying about his own safety, he tries to kill the cannon team, and only when he sees that his bolter is ineffective, does he deploy smoke and take cover.
Absolute kill mode. So badass how they operate with their tactics and approach.
Do not be happy for him, he got muzzled and now is lost to the black hole that is Game's Workshop hell. His full potential will never be realized.
knowing GWs IP "protection" is hell as well, he probably made the right choice for himself... man gotta eat^^
I know; they should have given him Hammer & Bolter
I mean, it was either that or get impoverished by copyright lawsuits from GW :P That's how all corporations work when it comes to their IPs. Nintendo is infamous for this.
@@lordmortarius538 exactly there is no good outcome. GW was making heads roll one way or the other.
you act like the man can't just choose to leave whenever he wants.
The "cone face" is a Mk VI Corvus pattern helmet. Also known as a "beakie". And IIRC the different helmets flashed at the end represent the homebrew space marine chapters of some of his patrons.
If you go to 25:43 and watch the pedestals in the distance, you can hear the "thump" of the music is timed with the sound of the other marines being warped in onto those pedestals. (His cam is blocking 1 or 2 of them)
This would allow the vision that the psyker to come true, since he sees the squad of marines in the hand of a skeleton.
There's still a few things I haven't quite connected, but I thought it was worth sharing^^ since it's a pretty big hint towards the future.
For context, the Orb Dialog to each other that the Inquisition overhears: (according to reddit and the author (sorta))
"...no escape. I have failed brother."
'We have all failed. The Astartes deny our touch. You must return, break your seal."
"Impossible, (I) will never survive."
"You must! Take them!"
Then the Inquisitor interrupts and shouts:
"Recall them Immediately!"
It's also believed that we see a Demon from the Warp (hell) drag them into the Warp Gate and is then killed by something else that bursts up from below, releasing the Marines out onto the planet. A cool note, after the head marine arrives and looks out over the valley, you can see his Brothers arrive on nearby islands around him, at least the teleport effects are seen that delivered him to the area.
The thing that attacks the warp creature is the Inquisitor, denoted by the same black smoke effect, a last heroic act before getting brain melted.
@@s3p4kner basically a suicide mission but he saved his men because of it
I never noticed his team warping in at the end. Good find.
I always felt like the delayed hit of the plasma pistol was what hit the warp creature and released the Astartes. It was the Psyckers last effort? But the Psycker was dead a full 60 seconds before the Astartes started getting sucked in?
@@NickWebb-lc6ry It might be one or the other or even some 3rd party mechanism from SMs ship. Plasma shot theory has the weakness of "why it catches up this late and how it doesn't miss after all this time - did the creature flight in straight line all the time?" and the Inquisitor didn't seem to be able to attack creatures at any point really - he barely was able to not get broken when fully focused, when he lost his focus to warn marines about incoming danger to their strike team, he was attacked and broken.
Yeah... there's a problem with Mr Pedersen getting hired. They hired him, got him to sign the contract, and then gave him no work at all. They shut this man down because he was doing warhammer better than they were.
Yes, I'm sure that's why all of the sudden a bunch of the trailers and animations suddenly look similar to this when CGI is involved... he totally had nothing to do with it.
@@Gustav_Kurigaexactly. Conspiracy theorists are so f****** boring and retarded.
I was asking why we didn’t heard of this guy since he was « hired » is that real ? He hasn’t work since ?
Thought he was on Warhammer 2 the game Im really sad
The rounds these guns fire are called "bolts" (the gun is called a bolter), they're armor piercing rocket-propelled rounds that explode after they pierce into a target (or after their rocket propellant runs out)
The space marines in this are using the smaller .75 caliber bolts, but larger bolts are .993
And the reason they have that nice 'thud' that tears soldiers in half is because of that explosive charge. Calling them 'bullets' is an insult.
@@Kalebfenoir baby RPGs
That boarding craft is a Caestus Assault Ram, which uses twin-linked Magna Meltas, big microwave guns, to just melt a hole in the enemy ship in order for the Marines to board. Other Chapters prefer boarding torpedoes, which are more insane but also allow those boarding to be deployed in multiple different areas. Gotta love 40K
Bolter shells are really mass-reactive rocket propelled grenades that explode when surrounded by mass (e.g. a body). They're definitely not normal bullets, those are reserved for Guardsmen for use in weapons like stubbers, shotguns, and gatling guns.
Astartes can sprint upwards of 50-60 mph, and it's been said of them that nothing that big should move that fast. Imagine a full ton of angry superhuman in damn near impenetrable armor barreling down on you at highway speeds. I'd shit myself, I know that much.
"beaked" helmets are from the Mk VI Corvus Power Armour, designed to be more aerodynamic and holds a sensor suite for more successful stealth missions. The Raven Guard use a LOT of these as that is kind of their M.O.
fun fact, a caestus is a real historical weapon, used by gladiators, basically an armored glove used for punching
When they get sucked in, that thing grabbing them was whatever the orb's true form in the warp is. And... well, it attempted to warp travel without a Gellar Field or Webway (basically warp shield or warp tunnel)... and suffered perils of the warp, instantly getting obliterated.
I saw it as getting attacked. You see a cloud strike it that resembles the same aura as the psyker that was just recently killed by the two white astartes. Even in death he serves
The other marines don't actually get separated from the main marine at the end, which I am assuming is the squad leader. If you look closely at the other monoliths/pedestals in the background you can see small flashes on the tops of a few of them and that's the other marines being teleported to the same location.
.75 caliber dual stage rounds a kicker charge launches the bolt out of the barrel once clear the bolt ignites a small rocket engine accelerating itself towards the target once hit the round penetrates the target and detonates an explosive warhead inside this is how a bolter works
guy hooked up to the orb. notice the big letter I on his back? inquisition.
likely a sanctioned psyker working for the inquisition, probably not an actual inquisitor since they wouldn't do something this dangerous.
So fun fact
If you listen carefully you can hear the psyker yell "RECALL YOUR MEN". This is because of the conversation the two space nards had about failure and the Astartes resisting their touch and dropping their shields and saying "You must Take them"
So inquisitor psyker bro breaks silence and yells to have the men saved, revealing himself within the warp, and being consumed by it. Giving his life just to save a few Space Marines. Unfortunately as we saw, he was too late and the other ball was like "Bet" and wormholed them to another dimension or yeeted them across the galaxy.
Psyker Bro is a hero.
Further detail: When the space marines were being held inside of the warp by the beast, it got hit with a wave of black smoke. You can also see black smoke around the inquisitor as he listens in in the orb. This means he either attacked it and forced it to let the space marines go, or his death caused a psychic backlash, which released them.
He was not a Hero, mind you that was a VERY VERY indulged Psyker, meaning it would take a very powerful Daemon to possess someone like him, MEANING that a VERY powerful Daemon was gonna kill everyone there.
He said recall them because he wanted to save as many marines before he gets possessed, those 2 that stayed there to fight, were 100% murdered by the psyker, because it takes about 2 mags to kill a normal possessed psyker, it takes up to 5-6 to kill a VERY strong Psyker.
There is no way on god's green earth that those Marines made it out alive sadly, but they most likely saved a few people on that planet/ship, but that Possessed Psyker 100% murdered everyone who was in a 500 foot radius and wasn't in an area sealed with holy signs and religious belief.
@@Lambent_Omega I do not believe it could've been the Inquisitor, as he was possessed and most surely murdered the men amongst the area, as he seemed to be a very indulged being in Psyker Mancy, especially the Hood and all of the Religious Belief, indicating he had MANY power boosts which makes him a very powerful foe, he himself can probably take down 5 marines by himself.
What possessed him was a Daemon which 100% murdered everyone there who wasn't hidden by Religious Belief insignias or seals, they take well over 5 magazines to kill, MAGAZINES, that is if they don't try and protect themselves like how those 2 psykers did it.
They are nearly impossible foes to kill if the daemon knows what he's doing.
That Inquisitor was most likely sent to hell like them but ripped apart, when he was killed, it most definitely caused that backlash and daemons seen the daemon holding marines and attacked them.
Mind you, Hell is essentially a war zone for power, that daemon was probably a middle-ish level of power and something of it's same caliber or higher attacked it to get those marines which caused it to let go and get teleported instead of murdered or possessed.
Where they were sent was most likely a death-planet where they will perish from lack of food, water and much more.
@markimoo157 How was he an "indulged psyker?" How do you know the psyker fully got possessed? You realize it's not instant right? He was comprised, but not necessarily possessed. And those 2 marines are veterans or even higher, so how do you know they died? You based everything you said on assumptions and acted like it's facts. Lmao😊
23:59 Dudes narration and sound effects has me cracking up 🤣
Like the reaction, would love more on some 40k content 🔥
every time I see this I notice more subtle details in the animation. that one man animated all this is mindboggling.
The confusing thing is before this started there are 2 demons, 1 is already captured and on the Astartes ship. The other is on a pirate vessel and has taken over the minds of the men there, and is creating an army of golden warriors who use the demons powers. The Astartes is attacking the pirate ship in order to obtain the other demon brother before there plans have a chance to hatch, but the 2 demon brothers talked and the one with the Astartes squad releases himself which is what is sucking the Marines in.
I heard they weren't daemons but another type of warp entity.
It wasn't 2 daemons, it was a warp entity which the Inquisitor (who was most likely a Master-level Psyker) tried to contain the thing OR get rid of it entirely by killing or beating it, which he was locked in a battle between himself and the warp entity (as you see when you see it talking to him, it's trying to break his mind) which was working and he used his final breathe to scream at the commander to recall his men immediately, which he does, but it was too late because that small second of losing concentration allows him to become possessed.
Mind you, stuff like those HOODS, religious smoke that was on his hands, those things are POWER boosts, they make him MUCH MUCH stronger than what he already is, he was most likely Alpha-level of power maybe.
He got possessed and for someone of his Caliber to be frightened by the Warp Entity meant that a REALLY REALLY powerful daemon was trying to possess him THROUGH the Warp Entity which it did.
It 100% murdered EVERYONE on that ship or planet if they weren't hiding behind Religious Seals or marks.
You seen how 1 shot killed those men in the first scene? it takes about 5-6 magazines into their SKULL to even kill a powerful possessed Psyker.
There was zero way those 2 survived, it would've NEEDED over 20 of them to be able to kill that psyker without being harmed.
I think they could be C’Tan shards that were taken/escaped from the Necrons. The body that they were making was going to house the C’Tan’s mind. And the graveyard is either from the C’Tan or the Old Ones.
gotta love that this was all made by 1 man
lighting
animation
audio
ALL of it, every part from start to finish, was a single person
"Plasma pistol--*LET'S GOOO!"*
Enthusiasm for 40k never gets old.
"Half of Games Workshops Trailers don't look that good." Understatement of the century.
The creator of Astartes is a fkn GENIUS!!!!!! From the screen angles, lighting, colour gradient to the music score and sound effects every aspect of his story telling is simply perfection at its finest. You'll be hard pressed to find anyone with this exceptional gift.
Has anyone ever interviewed this man?
If not, he must be hunted down, put on public display, and prodded with a stick.
secret chapter of astartes working with a powerful inquisition psyker, I kind of view it as they went in to tap into the second orb so the psyker to could listen in then he was possessed by the one onboard there ship there was some muffled dialogue the psyker warned them to pull the marines out - then moment's later they are all pulled in

What I love about this animation is how different it is from your atypical marine encounter.
The scene where he uses a flash grenade to blind the gunner so he can take out the gun carriage with a plasma shot is a pure tactics wet dream.
This isn't a front-lines battle, this is an *operation*
If only Tabletop Space Marines would have the same level of durability as in this animation 😁
lol no doubt, he probably would have rolled a 1 or 2 on some of those multi-laser shots and that's all it takes
I'll never forget the time I saw a 10-man squad of regular guardsmen buffed up by an attached priest bayonet charge a fully kitted out assault marine squad and wipe them out to the last man.
I do remember a podcast saying Custodians played how Space Marines should feel.
One time White Dwarf magazine released a "Movie Maries", or lore accurate list it was ~ 3rd or 4th Ed, and a Razoeback and 10 Tactical Marines was a 1,500pt, competitive, army
I mean they do against normal guardsman. My brother shot my group of 5 heavy intercessors with a 20 man squad of kriegsman equipped with lashings, plasma guns and grenade launchers and managed to kill ONE space marine
I love how at the very end, if you know enough lore, you know who they're fighting without even seeing the enemy.
Great reaction, the armor with the "pointy faces" I think should be the Corax Armor, it's a "Stealthy Armor".

@@PRC533 beakies best bois
Always remember, that bolter pistol that they use is first of all it shoots rockets/missiles and they literally blow up on contact. Handheld automatic rocketlauncher.. that is space marine pistol.
this is what happens when a true fan with talent works on a big project alone with one vision and implements it perfectly. you give this to a team of fans and things probably don't turn out as flushed out. perfect
I love the lore building. I couldn't help but do the same myself. I really hope GW just showers him with resources and gives him complete creative control, I just don't know if it will work out that way.
did you see the flashes on the pilars on the end? that was his battle brothers teleported there. So that place is massive
If you want to see the original Chaos Marine,, there's a UA-cam Trailer called The Horus Heresy. it's a good watch.
Original chaos marine...You mean Erebus?
Omg 😳 I never caught the smoke grenade at 3.10
It's the most captivating story telling I've ever seen without a single intelligible word being uttered.
Lifetime Tabletop Player doesn't know what Psyckers are and what they can do lol.
“Is that it?” That’s a thing on YT for all videos, people have a bad habit of stopping a video before it’s fully finished.
My favorite is when the heretic with the large gun hiding in the wall is shooting, you might not notice at first but an astartes appears in the light up of the muzzle behind him and it’s so menacing
When they were in the "Shadow Realm," they were really in the warp. They were pulled into the warp, unshielded, when the entity (the sphere) was attacked by another warp entity, where they they popped out into... ... ... Somewhere, in some plane of the warp. (Being in the warp unshielded would explain the bloody vomit. Very few could survive such an experience, but our guy pulled through, even if it did a lot of damage.)
Another awesome thing to note is when the astartes fires his plasma pistol twice at the psychers/whatever the hell those things were, he immediately discards it due to their tendency to, umm.... "fail" after doing that.
There's also a good chance that's what blows his hand off later, since its the same space marine and we can assume its the same pistol. He took out the turret, double fired it a little bit later and over heated it, then fired it with the entire front of the pistol inside the orb.
Those gun prayers may have got him an extra shot, at the end he pushed his luck a little too far. Though, I'd probably try the same given the circumstances. When you're getting eaten by a 25ft floating orb, might as well throw the kitchen sink at it
So the best we can figure out so far, is that these orbs that were being investigated, are in fact, the sealed parts of forgotten or erased chaos god. A chaos god of a long lost race of giants. The being we saw being a hint at its true nature, and the place where everything was dead being the crypt of its long dead kin.
18:15 ... it's not the same orb, there are 2 different orbs, they are even a slightly different colour :V , not to mention that the orbs are talking to each other :V
All I know is those orbs were beginning to put off warp energy.... not sure where that one marine was dropped off but that place gives off lost civilization and or "some where far away in the warp" vibes
One cool thing about the gear the rebels are packing: many of the rifles look like real guns or mixes of modern real guns. In episode 2 I spot rifles that are mixes of Kel-Tec Sub-2000 and TRW LMR.
And the dude who got bisected dropped a Korsak EM-1.
probably a time saving thing more than anything else
What I can get from this is that: they are trying to hack into the first orb. the rods stabbed to the first orb is some kind of a connector to the fake orb (the second one). The priest looking guy is connected to the fake orb and works as the hacker. Its either the priest guy hacked too deep or the orb is much stronger and it reversed the hacking. The priest was able to communicate the hacked info before being hacked by the orb. The info they want to get I believe is a location of some sort because the orb is also a teleporter or something
That was a warp entity that the inquisition was trying to kill. The creature made itself vulnerable when it the astartes into the warp and got killed by another warpborne creature.
First time viewing your channel.
Loved your guys enthusiasm and excitement. Great reaction. New subscriber here
These dudes are simple-minded consumers, not even acknowledging the work and effort put into this by one person alone. They just cheer and yap at the sight of action.
My friend literally mentions it's made by one guy at the beginning...
Arch warhammer has a good theory on what's happening
he was totally wrong though....
yall notice that gun he blessed from the beginning got absolutely obliterated along with his lower arm when it was going into that orb thing.... minor little detail, but very awesome reference in story telling
In the scene where they are on death planet, there are 5 columns, it seems whole team appeared there, you can see them teleporting, small reflection of their armours
I’ve seen this so many times and this time i noticed that the orb jolted the psycher into standing holy shit.
To be fair, when an angel of god needs to walk down a hallway, you gtfo the way.
Little guy in the red cloak/robe is involved with the Inquisition on some level. That's their iconography on his back
I loved the shot of the astartes running at the psykers like " your next "
Cone helmet or Beakie is a Mark 6 Helmet the others wear Mark 7 veteran Marines are honoured by receiving artificer or venerated (older marks) armour pieces the white helmet is an insignia of veterans. The captain also wears a white helmet and the cape.
Very carefully chosen thumbnail.
"Homies got a cape, you know he's high up"😂😂
The guy communing with the orb looks like an Adeptus Mechanicus Tech Priest that communes with the Machine Spirit.. or a Psyker. According to what i've read, the guy communing went nuts is probably getting Possessed by whatever is within that orb. Probably a Psyker because they use Warp Energy... That's why they killed him.
“Lifetime table-top player” I was expecting this guy to geek out and know every little detail. “Who’s these guys with the cone face” “no idea”
"They're shooting missiles at em"
That's bolter ammo. They're basically rockets.
The other team members got sent there too. If you look at the other pillars really closely the other team members got teleported there too
"This could be how the Chaos Space Marines started!"
The entire Horus Heresy novel series just looking at them like "...bruh..."
Y’all missed the cool rocket scene where they shot the missile at the space marines and the explosion eliminated there silhouette.
"With the tabernacki tobaccki" I'm done, over, and quite possibly no longer living.
If you look closely at the other pillars, you can see his squad teleport in!
What's unsettling about the enemy, and why they needed to be wiped out was that those two big guys.... they weren't humans. They were constructs. Just like the huge gold dude that was unfinished. And probably every little human soldier who so silently went to their deaths were drones; humans who'd been implanted with the same kind of spinal device as was sticking out of the big guys...only you couldn't see it on the little guys because it probably replaced their actual spines. You can see a collection of those spinal implants all around the huge gold guy, waiting to be implanted.
The two big gold guys were in various levels of completion when the Astartes attacked. One had one eye, but both arms, while the other only had one arm, but both eyes. They were rushed into action before they could be properly completed. The HUGE gold guy would have been a new vessel for...whatever exists in the Spheres.
The guy in the cape and the psyker are all part of the inquisition if anyone didn’t know
5:44 - I think where you criticize the seemingly untouchable nature of the marines, I think two got smashed on the balcony by some sort of counter attack while the one marine was charging.
9:25 is an Imperial Inquisitor. His authority is second to none but the Emperor himself. He is the pinnacle of what mankind can muster for psychic power. Many people will say he got mind broken instantly, but notice how he steadied himself, and then scream for his bodyguard to kill him. To have the raw willpower to maintin even a fraction of sanity, is astonishing. Emperor's will manifest, blessed inquisition.
Yea very cool. A lesser being would've had their head melted in an instant having seen/heard what this psyker was listening in on. Yet their concentration lapsed for but a moment which was enough for the entity to possess him. Cosmic horror is so fucking cool, like what the fuck are we looking at. Makes you think if we were to experience something of a cosmic communion or connection ourselves that we cannot even fathom, we would rightly go insane lol.
he screamed to warn the captain; his mind wasn't broken until after the warning; also, only a few Inquisitors are psykers, since they're big on the anathema list for the Inquisition, so they would have to be especially exceptional to be in the Inquisition
That wasn't an inquisitor. That was someone working for an inquisitor.
Just want to ask, probably more than me seen this. At the end, if you look closely at the other pillars, you can see the rest of the 4 Marines teleport in. Witch makes this place massive.
I would guess the "being" they saw inside of the orb things, were mostly connected to Tzeentch.
Kinda surprised you didn't know the stealth armour (beaked one)
im curious if this guy has heard the weapons in Darktide. I feel they did they bolter justice in its sound design
really liked the guest, the dude is great!. would totally be his friend.
He's an awesome dude!
Well… GW first sent him a cease and desist and threatened to sue the guy if he made anymore. Let’s not forget about that. So now the animator got picked up by GW working on GW projects instead of doing his own thing.
that is not true, they didnt get seperated, if u watch closely you can see other platforms at the center of this dead planet and there ist the same lighteffect hath happend,when he got transported to this place
The robed man who gets possed has the Inquisition's insignia on his robes.
It was likely his panicking that got him possed. After hearing the conversation taking place, and both orbs intentions, he broke his concentration to warn the astartes. It was only for a second, but it was all the orb needed. He quickly tries to return to his prayers but his defenses were already breached.
the bolters the space marines use should have a pop to them, from my understanding each round is it's own self propelled rocket so it's like getting hit with a tiny RPG
The cone faced helmets are 'Tactical' marines (the original space marine helm they all had when Warhammer 40k first came out), where as the snub-nosed, vented helmets are 'Assault' marines.
Btw this mas made by a guy from New Zealand
Is it common for tabletop players not knowing lore? Asking since the lore is all i am interested in. I mean, i thought the lore came with playing. Thats why i am asking
the lore is a real rabbit hole, and sometimes people don't have the time for that; they just play to have fun
@@CorvusCorone68I don't play as o said and I have not read the books, yet.
I've been listening to Lutin here on UA-cam as a way of falling asleep for like 3 years now. I understood more of Astartes than the two people in the video. Surprised me a lot!
Wow! You guys blew this one up!
Love Galaxy’s Edge. Amazing series.
Pretty sure the tentacles you see at the end are an elder god tied to the demons
Tbh, I think when he says, you must take the alpha, he was talking about the Alpha Class psyker that was overhearing their conversation.
I heard some way say that was to be a heratic emperor figure to lead the armies of Chaos.
A 40k fan that hasn't seen this? How!
The cythan
Those are not just bullets. They're missiles disguised as bullets.
First.
Bolts, not bullets.
Second.
Bolters, not guns.
Third.
The guy in the red robe i'd say is an inerrogator psyker from Inquisition at the very least, but the symbol on his back means he's actually with the adeptus ministorum. Deffinately not Frateris Templar they got disbanded in M 36 after Goge Vandire. And he is also not with sororitas. So just a random eclesiarchy representative he was.
And finally they're sedating alien nanotech psyker orb, not making some ritual.
