the dots on his head represent how many years he served as a Space Marine, usually a silver dot for 50 years and a gold dot for 100 years,
so he has 200 years of combat experience behind him. And they are called service studs
Damn. Service Stud is the right name for sure 😂😯
Sorry to nitpick here but The silver one normally represent 25 years because why have two silver studs when you can have gold one.
And I know some will say it represent 10 years but we have never seen a space marine with 7-8 or 9 silvers studs, that is why 25 make more sense.
I think the silver studs are 20 or 25 years.
@@1973Louis Each chapter has their own meaning for each stud, and multiple chapter use different materials and designs to signify years of service. Dark Angels use the Silver = 50 and Gold = 100 code. Soul Drinkers denote 10 years with a silver stud, and 10 years in chaplaincy with an ebony stud.
@@1973Louis Dante's head must look like a disco ball at this point.
The reason they killed the hooded guy( inquisitor psycher) is he was possessed he used his last moments to warn the astertes, you may think what they did was excessive to kill him but a possessed human can easily take 4-5 magazine of boltgun
Ah okay. That makes more sense now
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames also it was mercy. there are things much worse than death in wh40k universe
It’s funny because the way he got killed is the most nicest way to go in 40k universe. Lol
@@OBELISK3210 yeah at least it was over quickly I’d rather die like that than be taken by the drukharri
@@kesslerkruger4652 or couldve gotten a cease and desist from games workshop.
And they will be my finest warriors, those who give of themselves to me....
Like clay I shall mould them and in the furnace of war forge them....
They will be of iron will and steely muscle. In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest guns will they be armed...
They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them. They will have tactics, strategies and machines such that no foe can best them in battle…
They are my bulwark against the Terror...
They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines and they shall know no fear!
The reason there is no dialogue is they communicate through comms in their helmet so you can imagine how loud the psycher the screaming for you to kind of hear it
😎🤟
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames please please checkout ever Imperium of Man by Templin institute or Every Single warhammer 40k faction explained by Bricky 😁👍
The lack of dialogue is also because the project was made almost entirely by 1 person. Solo projects usually never have dialogue because the solo dev can't voice act for every character.
@@HexJK nah I mean more the canonical with the series like yeah that’s the reason but I’m thinking
More in universe explanation
@@omabrax0555 I don't know, can't listen to anyone other than Lutin09 when it comes to 40k. All the others just sound like infomercials compared to Lutin. I am not even a big fan of 40k but I watch every video released by him.
10:31 - "RECALL THEM IMMEDIATELY!" That was the Inquisitorial Psyker shouting at maximum volume, breaking his concentration to give them a warning. That lapse of concentration cost him his life as it opened him up to possession by the entity he was forcing access to (the shackled Xeno sphere thing.) You don't hear them talking in general because their comms are inside the ceramite armor they're wearing. But - when he's possessed you can hear him chanting louder than his loudest shout.
Psykers can access the Warp, the realm of souls. But the Warp and the entities in it can access THEM. When possessed, they can basically become a doorway for Warp entities.
Insta Death to possessed psykers ☑️
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Indeed, considering a possessed psyker can doom a planet. Fortunately, Space Marines are experts at performing a proper and thorough exorcism, as seen here!
@@Dreznin He forgot to add the flamer for good measure. There have been some daemonic possessions that go beyond just a simple exploding body.
In fact, if you see the scene without knowing the background and how incredible dangerous a possessed psyker is, you find the astartes killing him brutal. In fact they cared long as possible for that psyker, acting only in the last moment. What looks like a brutal overkill is not only needed but also a gift to the psyker, because possessed often means the possessed person lose his soul to the being posssessing him. By destroying his physical body so hard, they not only ensured there is nothing "living" or "useful bio parts" left which can be used as anchor for possession but also killing the psyker and ensure at last his body dies in a "natural" physical way. In hope his soul following that dead of the body in the normal way. Thats all what they can do, saving the living and try to give peace to the already dead.
That psyker risked his soul literally to save and warn that astartes, and as the honor code is in 40k universe such a sacrifice will be respected and honored by the astartes more as a normal human normally earns.
@@MT-su2lq Excellent comment.
When a normal human is chosen to be a space marine they are given 19 additional organs, all of which perform specific functions that enable that human to become a super human. One of the organs is known as Larraman's organ, or sometimes referred to as "the healer". Larraman's organ is why that space marine didn't suffer too much blood loss, because that organ enables scar tissue to form almost instantly after a wound. It's why many space marines can continue to fight when they have severed limbs.
Cool info! Had not heard that before. 😃😎
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames
Luetin09 has a good video on the creation of a Space Marine
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames he forgot to mention that most candidates chosen to be turned into space marines don't survive the process, very few do
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames the guns they had were basically a machine gun that fires mini rockets designed to explode inside the target they are .75 caliber
@@warbossgrotsmasha23, I was among 20 initiates only 11 survivied the initial trial in the end myself and 3 others underwent the final Geneseed implantation me and 2 others came through fully fledged Wolves unfortunately the last initiates Black Carapace rejected yet he survived he tried a further 2 times and failed yet survived he would eventually accept an appointment as Wolf Scout in the 9th company
for a solo project, this is the most outstanding fan animation ever, specially the sound, it really cinematic
It is truly quite a masterpiece 🤩
Here's the dialogue I copied and pasted from a reddit post:
Orb 1: "I have failed brother...we have all failed. The Astartes defy our touch. You must return. Break your seal"
Orb 2: "We will never survive"
Orb 1: "You must. Take them"
Inquisitor: "Astartes in Danger!" before he is possessed by the Orb.
The reason why the Astartes killed the inquisitor as soon as he screamed was they feared he was possessed. Since the Warhammer world has daemon gods, and other world ending monsters that eagerly want to possess any living being, they have no choice to kill them. The consequences if they didn't could have started a chaos daemon invasion or something else.
This is one of the reasons why Astartes and other humans just shoot on sight. They can't risk world ending threats to suddenly appear. And appear they do lol
The Psyker says: (Re)call them back immediately.
😎🤟 swift action. We get it 🙂
@@TheXChemicalzx i heard "withdraw them immediately"
@@TheXChemicalzx "Extract them immediately!"
@@TheXChemicalzx The creator himself said it's 'Recall them immediately'.
All made by one man who later got hired by games workshop
yeah and his project are closed
Talented individual 🤩
It’s too bad he hasn’t continued making more
From what I remember they never went through with hiring him. They just held a lawsuit like a gun against his head and forced him to sign over the copyright so they could sell it on their stupid failing platform.
@@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32 Considering it's GW we talking about its seems very likely.
These guys are literally the most wholesome normies I have ever seen. They seem completely lost with what's going on but nonetheless genuinely enjoy what they're watching and appreciate the effort in the creation.
Lmao that’s a pretty accurate assessment 😊🤗
honestly the best part when you find a new universe to explore atleast for me
That could be a new name for the channel "Wholesome Normies". ;-)
"normies" really? /eyeroll
The weapons the astartes are using are called bolters, those are hight caliber assault rifles that shoot self propelled round that exploxe on impacts. It's like an assault rifle and a rocket launcher made a baby basically.
One of the best descriptions of bolters I've seen😁
An assault rifle and rocket launcher baby 😂
You forgot to mention one of them is using a plasma pistol to take out the cannon and then to shoot at the enemy psyker and to try to damage the warp entity.
an assault rifle firing redbull can sized bullets that can punch a whole in a tank if it had to but yeah that sums it up went a con one year and they had a warhammer booth and they had a replica boltor rifle that thing was bigger than my chest and half my legs
@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames on this topic. Normal bolters were .70 caliber or .7 of an inch in diameter. Heavy bolters which do get carried by the Astartes fire a 1.00 caliber round which is 1 inch in diameter. Our current standard heavy round is .50 Caliber or half an inch in Diameter and it already destroys soft targets like a human body.
I've watched this legitimately maybe 50 times or more and each and every time it gives me goosebumps, this is a genuine piece of art that's created by an actual genius. It's absolutely amazing.
☺️🤩
40K is like H.P. Lovecraft meets intergalactic war on an unfathomable scale.
When the Space Marine was running and y'all made the comment of him moving so fast, it made me smile. The reason for that is due in part to the armor and in part to the superhuman genetics. Its one of the things they're known for, moving at superhuman speeds, and its actually been said in the lore that nothing that big should move that fast.
I really suggest watching Bricky's lore videos as they are a good crash course in the universe. I also suggest Helsreach. Its based on a book, has a myriad of characters, and has an emotional rollercoaster of a story. Its very well told, and the animation, while off putting at first, is honestly really beautiful and reflects an artistic choice that relates to the main character's state of mind. The story is really good, and I think you both would enjoy it.
Both are on our list to check out and it’s cool how the creator of this really nailed the lore so much so that people like us who aren’t familiar with anything can spot the super speed these Astartes/Space Marines have 😃🤩
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames you should also watch if the emperor had a text-to-speech device, just don't post reactions of it as the creator had to put it on indefinite hiatus due to Games Workshop being dicks to all the fan creators who draw people to their games.
One of the best scenes in this mini series. Just shows the raw power of a space marine. No hesitation, no questioning of loyalty of their squad. Just get shit done.
I think Post Human Shock is the in lore name for it. Sometimes a normal human literally freezes like a deer in headlights because their mind can't process what they're seeing. By the time you register what's happening, two halfs of you are falling on the ground watching him cut down your friends.
Well they’d be fasta’ if they waz red.
At the end when the main character is standing there and you see all the thrones (13:00). He is standing on a pillar that looks like the ones on the valley floor. Watch the pillars there are small flashes as the rest of the unit is transported in. Given his size, the pillars are around 500' tall and making closest throne over half a mile away maybe more. That would make the thrones around 3000' tall.
😯🤯
Man, I never did noticed those minor flashes! I've always thought that he is alone in this strange world. What a relief! Thanks a lot!
16:09 - There is no "they" . One single guy made all of this. ( Ofc using warhammer universe) .
As someone that did some 3D modelling and animation - All 5 parts are inspiring.
Really damn impressive the dedication it takes to create something like this 🤩
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames One guy also made Helsreach.
ua-cam.com/video/1D4jr-0_COg/v-deo.html
He had help During the creation. He did most of the initial work himself, though. Props where due.
So depressing that GW just shot themselves in the head by banning any fan animations. I was dying for more from this guy
😥 but they hired this guy right? So technically there could be more from him coming 🤔
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames More from him, behind the payroll of Warhammer+ where nobody except the most die hard fans, and maybe not even then, are gonna go. Fan animations are fantastic to introduce new people (read customers) to the Hobby so GW really are shooting themselves in the foot and generating a lot of dislike in their current customer and fan base by doing so. Sure, they can hire community creators to do stuff, but now there isn't going to be any community and fan creators because they're shutting them all down and under the heel of corporate GW I feel passionate fans arent going to last long in their employ. Working officially in the employ of the IP maker should be a dream come true, but the reality is different andI think they're probably feeling like they've sold their sold and creative freedom just a bit now. Frankly, GW no longer deserves the passionate fans that lead to stuff like this getting made.
@@RayvenQ Almost no IP owners allow just fans to just make stuff.
The fans that think they should just get everything for free make me laugh.
@@cyclone8974 Almost every IP alows it
@@eduardolandauro8583 No they don't. This guy had music he didn't own either and people were saying that GW shouldn't have changed that. It's all so childish GW own this of course they going to protect it.
Helsreach is the entire audiobook and I suppose you think GW should just let people steal it? Because why pay for the audiobook now if they can just watch the animation for free?
Me, two days ago: Man, I really want these two to react to Astartes.
Me, today, on my birthday, seeing that they did: What a gift.
Hell yeah! Happy birthday 🎂🎁🎉 🥳🥳🍾🍻
Regarding your question about what faction the "enemy" are. It's most likely heretical traitors who were secretly worshipping those orbs or wanted to use the orbs power for their own gain. Thus the Astartes were sent out to exterminate and obtain the orbs.
Ah okay. So how did they get those shields? Just good tech or maybe something they got from the orb or wherever the heck the orb transported the Astartes to 🤔
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Lutein mentioned it a little bit. They would be psychers (people who can use "magic" from drawing powers from the warp). Most are born more attuned to the warp and the powers. It is also possible that the orb did help give them the powers! And in return, the enemy was making a humanoid statue that the orb could possess. Obviously the Astartes stopped them before they could complete the statue.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames the psychers in this are a alien species an obscure one but a alien species I don't know the name off the top of my head though
@@sunghj11 the psychers in astartes are not humans
The creator of Astartes himself confirmed that the alien orbs are in fact a homebrew creation of his own making, not something from official lore. They are some sort of psychic xenos species.
The two psykers the Astartes fight and kill in episode 4 are in fact humans. Those "spines" on the back of their heads are in all likelihood a version of something called a "psychic hood", a device that helps one focus and use psychic powers with a lower risk of exploding your own brain due to warp power overload. It also helps increase the power of those with fairly weak psychic abilities. The energy shields they have could be tech-based, such as a version of a Rosarius (a personal shield generator), or it could be a part of their psychic powers. It's left vague, no doubt intentionally.
The Astartes were there to kill traitors to the Imperium and at the same time to destroy / inspect the Orb. The orb alien is not a playable race and it's little niche race in the lore of Warhammer 40k. WH40k has so much lore already written that it's almost impossible to know it all...
😎👍
And you can keep making stuff up. The idea is that so many things could be imagined in this universe. It’s open for fleshing out by anyone.. one is encouraged to invent their own stuff.
I actually think that this stuff might be covered in some of the Dark Crusade line of tabletop RPG's... Or in their successors, Rogue Trader, Deathwatch and Black Crusade. The whole lore of Calixis sector is filled with just exactly these kind's of mysterious and nasty alien unknowns and that a BIG part of that particular 40k settings charm.
I'm guessing that a bigger Lore-nerd than me has already identified these psychic alien orb thingamajingies, because a lot of this animation was superbly lore friendly, well done and researched to a point... And the movie maker clearly had a very ambitious project in his mind here, so I have a feeling he wanted to show something that's part of 40k universe, very unique and not often shown here. ; )
@@Anarchistbanana There were several guesses that had a lot of supporting evidence behind them, but the maker of the videos eventually came out and said he just made them up. He might have known those lore tidbits, and subconsciously made the aliens in their image kind of thing, but he planned for them to just be a one-off alien menace.
I like how the aesthetics of those enemies were nothing like the known and major Warhammer factions (not even Chaos) and yet fit perfectly somehow. Very reminiscent of people who found stuff from the Dark Age of Technology.
😎
There’s speculation that they are an off-shoot chapter of the Alpha Legion sworn to the chaos god Tzeentch.
Those are an alien race that has appeared before
The orb creatures have a striking resemblance to the Yu'vath from OLD 40k going back to rouge trader and second edition. Though weather or not the artist did that intentionally or not is up for debate.
@@johnbeck1978
It was not intentional. The artist was surprised when people asked if they were Yu'vath. He said he made them himself and did not know the Yu'vath existed
And here it is. I absolutely love this little 5 part short film, totally awesome. Important to note that it is fan made, basically fan fiction on an epic scale. One guy made this - the animation, sound design, sound effects, music, everything. Very impressive. He is not a Heretic. Well, maybe.😁
He is certainly impressive 🤩
Yall have opened a pandoras box. Warhammer is full of lore and everything is so over the top. But that's what makes it fun, that's what makes it interesting. Welcome to the madness that many of us fell in love with. Welcome to the 40k universe.
Thanks! 😃🥳🍾🍻😈
hello i would love to understand the lore of wh40k do you know where to begin ?
@@naomangaka brickys 2 videos of every faction explained is a good start. They are unfortunately 1 hr each, so I suggest watching in 15 minute increments to make it more manageable to watch. He's super funny and actually helps you get started on the lore without overloading you. If you want to know more after that leutin is also a great place for more informational and educational approach.
Bricky also has a show called adeptus ridiculous for extra bricky warhammer lore content.
@@johngibbons2646 ty so much ill look him up
@@naomangaka alsoif you like to read, there are hundreds of 40k books. Good starter books are thebooks from the Eisenhorn triology. The story happens on a smaller scale than the galaxy spanning wars and focuses much more on individual persons. It is also, 40k aside, an incredibly good written triology.
"They're fast" - yeah, they are. In fact, they could move so fast that ordinary human can barely distinguish their movements, meaning that if space marine is charging onto someone, there is very little time to react. And surviving melee encounter with a space marine is whole another story, involving very high combat skill, experience, luck and augmentations with simulators are desirable to improve chances.
😎🤟
through the implementation of the 19th Geneseed implant the Black Carapace which allows an Astartes to interface with their powered armour as if it were a second skin along with the other implants and rigorous training an Astartes can be that fast the only beings that can match them are fellow or traitor Astartes or the foul xenos known as Aldari and their Drukari kin
astartes aren't the flash, they run fast AF to the point where they can run to like highway speeds. but they aren't so fast that you can barely see them.
@@maxthibodeau3627
When sprinting no, when moving in combat yes
And a carnafix behind him about to eat him
As a warhammer 40k nerd, i have no idea where they ended in
😂 okay that makes us feel better. As we thought about it more we weren’t sure if had to do with the warp of something 🤔🤗
Oh, it definitely almost has to have something to do with the Warp, but beyond that is pure wild mass guessing, even from self professed Warhammer 40k nerds like myself or Luis Malave up above😁
some say they are on earth in the mariana trench. but we can only speculate,
@@marc789
No because that would be a hive city like the rest of earth
@@the_dropbear4392 I would imagine it was something like corascant (star wars) where the lowest points are near uninhabitable so the Mariana trench is probably nurgles happiest place on earth lol
No matter how many times I watch this the part were the Inquisition psyker tries to "mind meld" with the spheres always gets the same reaction out of me. When he stood bolt upright I actually said "He's compromised, THE PSYKER'S COMPROMISED, BLAST HIM!!!!!!!!!". Good thing I was home alone.
😂 that’s amazing 🙂
If your interested they also have another setting Warhammer fantasy more emphasis on magic and the warp as well as changes to the overall lore
Also hellsreach is a great story, the art us really well done.
We plan to check out both 😁

I love how fans have such passion to make such cool films like these for their favorite franchises!
Agreed! 🤩
Rip seeing how their smothering that
Yeah, shame GW just killed everything about that and now threatens new creators...
The fans have brought more players and money to GW in five years than all of GW's 35 years of marketing. And their response was to crush it all because the fans dared to do a better job than they did.
12:43 - "Service Studs are metallic studs attached to the skull of a Space Marine, which visibly protrude through the skin of the forehead. The awards signify the number of the Marine's years in service to the Chapter. Different designs and shapes of studs denote different lengths of service. A stud will represent either 10, 50 or 100 years service, depending on its style and the material it is made from."
😎👍😃
4:35
"Is that a spine, connected to the mask?"
That isn't a mask, that is an entire metal skull and spine. The orbs have eaten the twos souls and replaced the heads and spine of those two. Willingly, or unwillingly.
"What does the spine do, connected to the face mask"
And it's a sort of power conductor thing for the orb. A especially skilled Pcyker can control an entire planet, also the reason why there is so many heads leading up to the orb.
Damn. Hopefully they got eaten willingly 😯
This is what I was able to get when I listening to what they are saying.
10:09
Orb One: Someone is here, I have failed brother.
Orb Two: We have all failed, the Astartes deny our touch, you must return, break your shield.
Orb One: Impossible, we will never survive.
Orb Two: You must, Take the Alpha.
10:40
Orb Two: Unless, he can.
😯
Also at 08:22 it attempts to influence their minds or possess them. Which gives context as to why he says "they deny our touch"
Everytime I watch Astartes and/or other WH40K stuff, I really wanna get into playing it. Mostly tabletop and learn the lore. But then I always get really overwhelmed by the vast amount of lore/information this universe has to offer. It's crazy.
It is overwhelming for sure but super interesting 😃
its always fascinating seeing people unfamiliar with WH40k watch this and get a glimpse into the universe. WH40k is such a pitfall of lore you could spent months reading on it.
good seeing the interest and fascination in wanting to learn more, just remember that "in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war!"
That alone symbolizes the entire warhammer 40k universe.
It’s taking us awhile to set in just how dark this world is. But love all the content out there for it. So much to choose from 😃
This is a transcript of what the orbs are saying.
_”Who is here?”_
_”I have failed, brother.”_
_”We have all failed. The Astartes deny our touch. You must return. Break your seal.”_
_”Impossible. We would never survive.”_
_”You must. Take them.”_
Thanks for providing the transcript 😅
Really love watching you guys enjoy the stuff I like, while giving it the respect it deserves.
Happy to hear that 🙂🤗🥳
Some of the superhuman features of the Astartes are increased hearing and reaction times, on top of what he others have said.
You might have noticed on a second watch that when he looks up after removing his helmet, his eye darts around so quick you probably didn't notice until it was mentioned.
40k is kind of insane like that.
Yeah there was a ton of little details in this that shows the love and care put into this amazing work from a truly gifted artist 🤩
Should we tell these guys about If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device?
We’ve already been told 😁
Well. My comment certainly did not age well. The creator of TTS just announced last night that due to Games Workshop adopting a zero tolerance policy for fans nimati9n stuff, TTS is on 8ndefinite hiatus.
:c
@@Arturius Still, the remaining episodes are great and hilarious way to understand Warhammer 40k in a nutshell.
They need to understand more about basics before they watch that
Been watching you guys for a while now. I love your ideas on warhammer. Welcome to the grimdark.
Oh my lord I’m so happy you both decided to see this, it’s amazing!!!
Yes it is 😃😎🥳
After listening to the audio book Soul Hunter, I have such a better understanding of how Space Marines board and cripple a ship from the inside. 4 chaos Marines made it from engines to bridge in about 5 minutes, cleared the bridge, then left before their strike cruiser destroyed the ship. And these were Night Lords who specialize in terror tactics. Such a good start to a trilogy and I look forward to starting Blood Reaver
😎🤟
11:02 That’s what we call an exorcism in Warhammer 40k 😂
Efficient 😜
Thank you thank you for the reaction to the video.
Astartes is one of my favorite videos and I couldn't wait to see your reaction.
The Warhammer universe is huge and there's a lot to see yet 😉, even Fantasy!
Next video to see is Death of Hope, but beware it is very very raw and with a scene to put your hands on your eyes.
While watching this video my son pointed out the gentleman looks very much like Nick from L4D2....he aint wrong. Great reactions to ASTARTES :)
😂 we still need to check out L4D but that is second time someone has said the Nick comparison 🤗
One of my favorite reactors, such a nice people)
Thanks! 🥰🤗🥳
The dots above his eye are representing his years of Service. Silver is 50 Years and Gold is 100 Years so this Space Marine is in Service for 200 Years.
😎🤟👏 Props to him
astartes is prob my favorite video on youtube. this is my first time here, but i like yalls reactions, i can watch it for the first time again vicariously
Welcome! 🥳🥳🥂🍾 Glad you enjoyed the reaction 😊
Every single of the 3 bolts in the head of the Astartes stands for 50 years of service.
😎👍😮
I really enjoy the 40k content you’ve made so far, please keep going! I love seeing new people learning about a world I love so much!
If you’re taking recommendations I highly suggest “Every single warhammer 40k faction explain” by Bricky. It’s very long but I think you will enjoy it!
Brickys vids at Definitely on our 40k watch list 😎
Lots of nice “wtf am I looking at moments”.
As for the video itself, I love that it’s so rich in content yet doesn’t waste its own time to chew your food for you.
Well said 👏 and yes those moments were plentiful in this for us 😂 we enjoyed it despite not understanding it like those who know and love Warhammer 40k 😊
6:08 Just another Day in the Office
Astartes 1: "We go to ´Emperors´ for Lunch?"
Astartes 2: "Yeah, sounds good."
😂
There was a reaction done by a marine on what all that stuff was. The spheres being portals to the warp. The warp basically being hell. So a demon portal. Astartes being the lead soldiers name. Guys so badass even demons know his name.
Hello guys!!! You make my day when you upload :))
Made our day reading this 😊
Wow, that was just something else. The skeleton world as you described, reminds me of Beksiński's paintings
Good call 😮🙂
I like how they rarely sip their drinks while watching, indicates how engrossed they were in the video.
🤗 it was a damn good short 🤩
I like how fast they snuff out heresy with their boy that was communing with the machine lol
Yeah they don’t mess around with possessed dudes apparently 😂
The fact this is made by 1 guy totally blows my mind even after a million watches haha, im gassed for GW to use his talent
Yeah it’s super impressive that just one guy did all this 🤩
15:30 You're kinda right here. Blizzard wanted to have the Warhammer license to create Warcraft games but they couldn't afford the price, so they created Warcraft taking a lot of inspiration into Warhammer classic ( the medieval one ) and created Starcraft few years later taking again inspiration from Warhammer 40.000 :)
Makes sense 🤑
2:58 "That's a cool mask."
My inner Inquisition: *HERETICS!! PURGE ALL HERETICS!!!*
Lmao
Even amongst people who know a lot about 40k and there's a lot of mystery here. Part of the fun, the 40k setting is vast and there's a lot of minor factions/Xeno's that don't really get much info and that's without just making up something new (which is fine as long as it kind of fits).
Best I can tell the spheres are protective cocoons for highly psychic unknown xeno entities, at least one of these entities had formed its own cult (not a chaos one this time) and was dominating the humans of an Imperial world, stirring up rebellion and the like. The Imperium responded as the Imperium does, crushed the rebellion and used one of the captured xeno cocoons to track down another and bringing us to the start of the video.
The boarding torpedo has giant "melta" on the front, a short range energy weapon that melts whatever's in front of it to cut through meters thick armored spaceship hull.
The fight through the ship is pretty much exactly as it appears and it's just nice to see Astartes portrayed as the supremely effective killing machines that they're supposed to be.
The gold masks are either "psychic hoods" which help direct and amplify psychic abilities or are direct control devices allowing the entity to puppet them directly. Either way they're probably part of the cult leadership or elite at least.
The devices the Astartes stuck into it are probably designed to weaken its psychic power, turns out it wasn't enough. The guy in the robes with the I on him was an agent of the Inquisition (think RL Inquisition mixed with secret police and unlimited authority and you're close) doing what amounts to a psychic phone tap.
The entities have a conversation complaining how they've failed, they can't control the Astartes and how they need to break out of their cocoons and make a run for it.
One entity jumps into the Agent but the Astartes nearby kill him before he can take over (It's generally a bad idea to mess around when dealing with psychic f**kery)
The other entity sucks the Astartes into the cocoon/orb (guess they didn't know it could do that) and jumps with them straight into the warp/immaterium which is really something that any being wants to avoid doing, it seems like it has a purpose for the Astartes but really could have just been hoping to them as human shields bait to cover its own escape.
It fails and is nearly instantly attacked by something nasty in the warp, losing its grip on the Astartes and presumably flinging them out of the warp to wherever they end up.
The Astartes vomits up some blood because frankly being in the warp without specialized protective shielding for any amount of time is detrimental to pretty much everything, but he's an Astartes so his body was already healing by that point and he'll be fine as long as he didn't pick up anything nasty in the warp.
Thanks so much for the info and giving us your interpretation of what’s all going on here. It’s cool hearing the different theories from 40k buffs in the comments 😀🤩
Those guys in the masks were psykers. Those spines helped channel their power or amplified it. That Orb looked like it was a portal into the Warp. Looked like that space marine was transported into the Warp or at least into the Eye of Terror.
Eye of Terror is definitely not somewhere you want to end up 😯
As the Astartes are walking in the hall on their ship (white hall) you can get a feel for their hight, because regular humans are walking in the same hall on the right side against the wall. Also look in that same scene you can see the Astartes Commander walk across the shot.
Each of those “dots” represent 100 years of active service in defending the Imperium.
Called Service Studs.
😯 lots of years of service. Damn
The reason Space Marines are able to move so fast in power armor is because their nervous systems are hard wired into their suits with a modification called the black carapace. It's the final and most important organ transplanted into a Space Marine. The black carapace is an organic bundle of wires grafted into the Space Marines nervous system then implanted under their skin. Then holes are cut through their skin and ports are added so they can plug directly into their power armor. For Space Marines, wearing a suit of power armor would be like you wearing a bulky pair of comfortable flannel pajamas.
😂 love the comparison to comfy flannel pajamas
IIRC, there was an offhand mention in old lore that suggest that valley might be the Marinares(sp?) Trench on Earth after the oceans dried up.
🤔 love the fact that it’s open for interpretation 🙂
yeeees been dying to see u react to this! :D
🥳🥳🥂🍾
would like to add 1 single person made this Cinematic, he's very talented
Extremely talented 🤩
One other thing about Space Marines, those guns they have are called Bolters. They fire micro rocket propelled warheads that penetrate and then explode in a target. Which is why some of those humans they shot just exploded into little bits of gore.
😯😁😎
I love the different reaction of the both of you.
Hers is like : Oh my god, Oh no.
The dude : YEAH! CHAOS! MORE DEATH!
Here's to hoping he makes a Grey Knights video. The Grey Knights chapter specializes in fighting daemons.
Hopefully he is able to continue to make vids like this for the company 😃
He's not going to be making anything like this for Warhammer ever again. They've stuck him on a team of animators and they all get crushed with deadlines to churn out content together. He doesn't get a say in the direction or planning of the projects he gets assigned now. GW just sees him as another animator and that's it.
Imagine taking Leonardo da Vinci and putting him on a factor floor stamping license plates...
I don't know if you two have seen Bricky's "Every WH40K Faction Explained" vid yet, but I highly recommend, it'll explain a lot of stuff.
My absolute favorite bit in all this is when that Caestus Assault Ram slams through the traitor ship with its twin-linked Magna-Meltas. Those Marines are getting on that ship, one way or another hehehe.
Of Space Marines, it has been said that nothing that big should move that fast. Underneath their power armour they have implanted under their skin what is called the Black Carapace, which integrates with the armour and makes it like wearing a second skin. Keep in mind too that Space Marines are not, strictly speaking, human. They are superhuman, genetically engineered by the Emperor himself to be taller, bigger, stronger, faster, hardier than anything else the Imperium can field. They can survive environments that would instantly kill normal humans thanks to the implants and extra organs they have.
AND, they're now slowly being phased out in the newest version of the game, as the Mechanicum Adept Belisarius Cawl has finally perfected the process to create PRIMARIS Space Marines. If Astartes are superhuman, the Primaris Marines are ULTRAhuman.
Bricky is something we plan to react to for sure ☺️ And thanks for the added info on Space Marines 😃
"I want a refund on that vacation" LMAO!
🤗🙃😂
Those three dots represent 300 years of duty served. Basically each pip represent 1 century of service. Most space marines are lucky to get 2. That's what the codex from the tabletop games states
Damn so three dots is impressive as hell 😯
" I feel like they're gonna regret this..." Never brush off a woman's intuition...
😁😎
The movie she is talking about at 14:00 is called Event Horizon. The funny thing is, the creators of the movie very much said the movie was related to the 40k universe as that ship had entered the warp and came back.
Love the fun fact and thanks for giving us that movie name we were struggling to find 😃
@Admiral Terrinald Screed No. She absolutely was talking about "Sphere" www.imdb.com/title/tt0120184/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
She specifically mentions the bottom of the ocean.
"Event Horizon" happens in space and in that movie it was the ship itself that became sentient, not the prototype warp drive that linked it to hell.
Love that movie btw. Both of them to be fair.
I've always headcanoned Event Horizon as a 40k prequel. Event Horizon is what happens if you send a starship into the warp without proper shielding.
As was already mentioned, no, she was indeed talking about Sphere. Funny thing about Sphere and Event Horizon... when I was in the military, I was stuck on base one weekend and the guys arranged a double-feature, back-to-back movie night. No guesses needed as to which movies we watched. The ironic thing is that after watching EH first, we started on Sphere, and it literally felt like the same basic movie, just underwater instead of out in space. I hate that genre to this day. 😄
12:44 the dots represent years of service, gold = 100 years and silver = 50 (i believe) so he's been in service for 250 years.
😯 longer than any job we’ve had 😂
I am glad to see you reacted to this! Thank you for taking the suggestion so kindly! 😊
We were glad to see it. Coop vid and super impressed it was done by one person 😃
Honestly we don't know what that sphere is, the creator of this made up those aliens and the enemies, you honestly know as much as we do.
That’s pretty cool that it’s open to interpretation 😃
chaos cult, and the retributors chapter adeptus astartes.
I would love to see you return to Astartes after you have had time to dive into 40k lore some more. There is some nuance in Astartes that are only obvious to those who have sunk into the lore. You might be amazed at what you might not have understood or recognized the first time through. Still, I think most 40k lore nerds feel that this is the most accurate representation of what the Space Marine of 40k would be like. Enjoy the Rabbit Hole!
That would be interesting. A rewatch reaction 🤔😀
The reason why u can't hear anything is becos they r actually talking inside the helmets but we can't hear them, also the reason why those two guys with the weird spines were like that was becos they refused the touch and had their spine replaced (just another normal day in 40k). And when they were sucked in the ball, that thing that grabbed them was trying bring them into the warp (basically hell and the only way for humanity to go to different systems) was killed off by another demon competing for power.
The Space Marine weapons are called Bolter and have a caliber of 75. What is 1.8 mm, about 30 pieces are in the weir. Approx. 10 in a pistol. The pistol that lights is a plasma pistol. Which has 3 to 4 shots on the highest line.
😎👍😃
If you liked Astartes, you'll also love Helsreach, a fan-made miniseries adaptation of a 40k novel
😎🤟
It's literally ripped from an audiobook.
Never seen 40K Warhammer but this was an amazing trailer....
All done by one fan 😯🤩
It's not a trailer for anything, it's a short story in animated film form, telling the story of one squads bad day
Welcome to Warhammer! You're going down quite the rabbit hole with this one....enjoy!
Deep dark crazy rabbit hole 😃
Few things that went uncommented on in the video as well as comments.
The lead Astartes dropped his plasma pistol (the blue glowy one) because rapid shots may cause them to overheat and explode.
The floor in the vault appears to shatter under an Astartes boot. That was actually a layer of ice, possibly caused by the warp energy being used in the previous fight, as well as the orb they are approaching in the next room.
Thanks for the info 😃
you guys should react to brickys warhammer lore videos if u want to learn more .
We plan to 😃
omg i just love y’all so much btw idk if you listen to music on your channel but can you react to rise league of legends pls that would make my day :). great vid
We don’t do music yet, however, League is a different set of circumstances because they are also cinematics and Riot is very friendly by not having it copyright protected for reactions 😊
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames aw ok i totally understand
The studs mark time served in the chapter. Each chapter chooses how to utilize the studs - thus a single silver stud may mark from 10 to 50 years of service. Given that the Inquisition is involved, it's a safe bet to assume that each stud marks 10, 25 to 50 years of service - they just tend to requisition the best and most experienced Astartes when the Warp is involved. Yes, not hiring, not asking for, if possible (one might say it's the polite form of requisition, but hey - details).
😂😎🤟 Devils in the details 😜
astartes recurtuen are accepted between the ages of 7 and 9 and must pass exams depending on the order. In doing so, extra organs will be used depending on the test and age, or more precisely, operated on. E.g. 2 lungs, heart, muscles and boil build-up. cook and build muscle first. Each Astartes is about 2.50 meters tall.
😯🤩
Hey cuties yall should react to the Dying light 2 “Monsters” trailer reaction your reactions will be priceless 😅😂
We plan to eventually. Heard it’s a good one 😃
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames YEESS DO IT CUTIES !!!!!
Lots and lots of 40K lore enthusiasts have a lot of the same questions you have! Usually this would be interpreted as "made up stuff" but the quality, storytelling and elements are so well done everyone is just awestruck and want more. Delightful to see such reactions
Cool to know that even those with deeper knowledge and understanding still search for clues and answers in this 😃
"Very Starwars esque" *You have triggered a gang war*
😂🤗
Those "three little dots" are bolts drilled into the skull. One for every five years of service. Three bolts is 15 years at the Red End of Hell. A true Scary Dude.
To explain for you guys the astartes or space marines were sent to quell this cult rebellion on the ship and the orbs (those round things) were basically warp demons. They captured one and the other one was on the ship that the space marines were task to capture or kill. However they didn't realize that the two orbs could communicate and the inquisitor priest guy that was connected to the captured orb got possessed and before he did he warned the captain of what was going on. Then after that... well shit hits the fan for the space marines.
Thanks for the quick synopsis 🙂
Their guns are called bolters which are mini-missile launchers basically. You see the bolts being stopped by the shield but the propellant is still coming out behind them. It's why all the humans they shot instantly exploded instead of a normal bullet or laser.
Badass weapons 😎🤟
Each stud is 100 years of service , if he has two , he has served the imperium for 200 years
The creature in the orb was a demon and what happened was that the demon was killed by something (and one shotting a demon means that the attacker is SUPER powerful) and the Astarte soldier was transported to a world. This world hasn't been recorded in any of the books or lore, and could be from a different galaxy
Thanks for helping explain that clearer to us 🙂
The silver dots on the Astartes heads, each one is for 50 years service.
😯😎👍
WHOA I didn't get a notification for this, soooo hyped
😎🤟🥳
Amazing and not one word spoken and the viewer is drawn in.
Yup. Very effective film 🤩
That this was created almost entirely by one man is amazing, but the fact that it's done with nearly zero dialogue or exposition, in a universe as complicated as 40k's, and still manages to get the general point across is true art. The mind is given some room to ponder, and the artist can focus on non-verbal representation for delivery. This guy understands pacing, effects, atmosphere, storytelling, camera angles, and even proper momentum in animation. For so many, Astartes would be their Magnum Opus, but this guy just showed up on the scene... or so we assume.
Agreed that this is super impressive for being done by one guy 🤩
