Welcome to the hobby! Whether you get into the army building and wargaming, playing the various tabletop RPG's, or just sticking to learning the lore, welcome. It's daunting getting into the world of 40k, but there's always someone who will answer questions you'll inevitably have (there's a lot).
@@ImLundzZ weshammer is a good one for newer lore people as he kind of simplifies things, like lore for dummies, bricky does it too but does it in a more humorous way rather than factual way. Luetin09 is my personal fave and is just straight up lore, and I would avoid Archcast as he is actually a far right extremist who thinks the Imperium of man are actually good guys when they are actually a super fascist regime.
My boyfriend started playing space marines and he keeps sending me reels about but i have no prior knowledge about 40k or any of the lore but this video makes things a LOT easier to understand and it's pretty funny with the jokes every once in a while which keeps me entertained while getting so much information. Great work and thanks for the help :)
@@bradjohnson5309 I love that he has deep interest in slightly nerdy things like this and he used to be really into dark souls, I think it's cute so I always try to at least understand what he's talking about when I have a chance lol
This is the only video I could find that didn’t start with a barrage of new proper nouns, respect. I have zero clue about 40k - 2 hours in with SM2 and….. I get it
It’s an odd thing when the niche hobby that you’ve been immersed yourself in for almost 30 years suddenly looks like it’s going to be mainstream. As much as I’ve watched your gaming guides over the years, I will give you the view instead of a 40,000 tuber today lol
Hahahaha dude you're telling me! It's gonna be weird when someone brings it up, and you have yo resist, "back in my day, we had blister packs! And there were wolves on Fenris!"
Yeah, Baldur's Gate 3 brought DnD into the spotlight and now Space Marine 2 is causing a 40k boom. I know DnD will always be a thing, but I'm glad 40k is still hanging in there and better than ever.
I may have gotten to this video a bit late but I am so grateful for it! Thank you dude - keep them coming. Amped for the launch of the new game next week, I've never delved in to the WarHammer universe before and I'm loving it so far...
Never got into Warhammer but always kept my eye on it as the Spacemarines look so dope and the different chapters are so interesting man! Thanks for making this vid !! Definitely want to get more into this world!
Just throught Id throw out some feedback, iv seen you do this in a few videos. I dont think there is a reason to tell people to turn off the video, but the hey this video is for new people part is good. Let them decide how they want to proceed. Just my 2 cents feedback. Keep up the good videos!
I appreciate it brother! So I've found that if I'm not that upfront about things - as far as explicitly telling them to shut it down versus just a warning - I get a lot of comments saying they wasted their time because they knew it. So now I warn and tell you you CAN shut thr video down if you want :) the choice is still there but I double warned you, so proceed at your own peril! Hahahah. I appreciate the feedback though brother! I
@@italianspartacus I asumed that was the reason why, Im all for the being upfront, but doubly so seamed like a waste but i dont make videos so i'll defer to you! And I guess as long as you have thought about it thats half the battle!
You know as someone new to Warhammer 40k, the one thing that stands out among all else is just how nice the community is especially when it comes to newcomers
Same dude. My buddy in the Marine Corps loved this shit and i always thought it was just some nerd shit like D&D but this shit is dark and fucking deep. I just want a show or movie because it would be so entertaining.
I knew all of this but i gotta support the legend himself! This game will be the one to bring all players together to purge the filthy Xenos!! For the Emperor brothers!!!!
Holy sh*t. I've never been into 40k, only getting into the lore in the past 2 days but dayumn. First I hear that the emperor is dead but not really, that he still commands everything and if he stands up from his throne, which heals AND kills him at the same time, demons would spawn on a planet. Now i find out that Space Marines are kids on steroids packed with additional organs to make them essencially immortal. I read somewhere also that compared to Star Wars, which i know a lot of about, blowing up Alderaan was one of the worst events in the gallactic history. In 40k, that would be called a Tuesday. Boy this rabbit hole is gonna be fun.
The "rumor" is since the emperor is perpetual (returns to life even if he dies) he is keeping the device running instead of device keeping him alive. Demons would invade if he dies even for a moment, that part is true though. You can thank Magnus for that, he naively broke trough the wards of the palace to warn his father about the horus, but he was also manipulated so he would break the seals to warn him. And demons invade when it happens. Welcome to one of the deepest rabbit holes in existence. 20 books in and I still learn something new regularly.
Iron hands on my heavy with a prosthetic arm and a heavy bolter. Salamanders on tactical with a melta gun.and of course a son of the Great Angel on assault. Death company assault?
Essentially yes. Here's a funny thing. Blizzard was contracted by Games Workshop to make both a Warhammer and a Warhammer 40k game. Blizzard backed out before finishing and won their law suit so they just had to change the names of things and minor cosmetic changes. But terrans and zerg are space marines and tyranids! :)
Scary creatures too as they come from outside the known in universe Galaxy. Originally they only came from one direction. Recently they started coming the opposite direction so now there is a very real fear... the entire galaxy is surrounded
Great video one thing I wanted to point out was regarding when you talked about space marines spitting acid asset and you said some of them can. All space marines have a betchers gland. All space marines can, therefore, spit acid. The exceptions are those that have a mutated or non functional gland, so this is the borm not exception or something special 😉
I knew of the Thunder Warriors, but had not really heard of their specifics, just that they were before space marines and inferior in some ways but beefier. and had never heard of this lore that the Emperor was born of a bunch of psykers forming together and birthing a perfect being. I definitely am intrigued by that.
Tactical will be my custom chapter, assault will be a black Templar, bullwork will be a dark angel, vanguard raven guard, sniper raptor, and I'm switching between salamanders and iron hands for heavy
New new new shiny greenhorn to everything Warhammer but this video was awesome, now i want to dive into any books, or more lore media. Well done sir, question so Titus is a known person to yall and its not a game character??
As someone who has never touched an ounce of Warhammer lore before but is about to play Space Marine 2 thank you so much for this video! So are they basically just giant versions of Halo Spartans, and Titus is Master Chief? Also it sounds like each generation gets better and stronger where Spartans 4’s aren’t as good as Spartan 2’s lol
what i dont understand its their life lengh. Marines can live for houndreds of years but I dont know their overall life lenght.... I heard something about gene seeds.... ok in video I found info that they have genes enhancement according their primarch bloodline If I can say like that..... But also found some info, that each individual marine have its own gene seed, if he dies, he can be recreated again... is there anything true about that?
They're effectively immortal. If they don't die in combat, they don't die. There's some instances where the geneseed degrades, but Dante is the oldest living space marine simply because he hasn't been killed and he's centuries old at this point. The geneseed is a sample of their primarchs genetic code. When they die, it's harvested from the dead marine. It's planted in another new marine. So the marine isn't "remade" it's just that the legacy of every marine that has had that seed lives on!
Where would you recommend a non reader like myself to start diving into the lore of warhammer, been a big LOTR and WoW fan my whole life and would love to dive into a new world
I wanna talk about Bolters and misconceptions behind them. GW describes them as fully automatic 40mm grenade launchers. That's not accurate to what bolt rounds actually do. If a 40 mike mike detonates within 16 feet of you, you are not waking up tomorrow. Bolters don't have an end radius that large. They're more like 20mm Autocannons loaded with APHE, they penetrate and Detonate inside the target. Bolters shoot .75 Caliber rounds, .75=19.5 millimeters. They're still super powerful since they're basically Anti Aircraft guns being wielded by a very strong super soldier. (As far as what chapter im playing, Im reping the guys on the Cover of 1st edition, the Crimson Fists!)
pov from the bible; the emperor was basically one of the fallen angels, the primarchs where his offspring, we know as the nephilim, these had great strength aswell according to genesis chapter 6, and so all the thunder warriors where the offspring of the nephilim, or mutated humans with nephilim genes. and so are all the space marines mutated with fallen angel technology lol... its all pretty biblically possible stuff this lore. but one thing comes to me in mind, the story of David against Goliath, goliath was also a giant, just like those thunder warriors, but David was just a small boy with God on his side ;P
You aren't wrong but we don't call it that in the vernacular, in this time line they do! It's how they distinguish between "Terra" which is an implied point in history and "Old Earth"
Im new to warhammer, drawn in by the space marine 2 video game. And a love of fantasy lore. But this is just not hitting for me. Space marine sounds like it was invented by a kid who like marines and started yapping.
Started off good but lost me half way through, you kept saying bunch of terminology that I don't even know what it means like the "primark" or what ever.
As someone who has never played Warhammer, I think I am going to pick this up. This is a great video.
Welcome to the hobby! Whether you get into the army building and wargaming, playing the various tabletop RPG's, or just sticking to learning the lore, welcome.
