Titus was literally recording his last will when he made the record log. Considering the mission’s high casualty rate, I’m certain Titus didn’t think he was gonna make it as well.
Titus' killteam was LOADED with legendary Chapters. Easy to understand why they were sent on such a low-odds mission and why the mission ultimately succeeded. A Dark Angel, a Blood Angel, a Black Templar, a Space Wolf, and an Ultramarine. INSANE lineup. Must've been an insane honour for each and every one of them.
Just realized the Blood Angel was Firstborn as well. Barely ANY Firstborn Blood Angels survived Baal, which would have been before this game took place. That's insanely heartbreaking. That's a serious loss.
Love to have a game set between Space Marine 1 and 2 just about the missions they underwent and the bonds of brotherhood developing between them even though they were from different chapters.
Understandable on the fact his history is supposed to be erased new start. But at least some cosmetic that gives us a way to honour that Death Team would be nice. No? Or is this just a hot take of mine.
@@justareguralcitizen9492 It would actually be lore accurate for him to retain the Inquisition pauldron, just on the opposite shoulder. Deathwatch veterans normally keep it after they return to their chapters to show they are Xeno experts.
Interestingly Darius and Ulfar are the only two Titus swears to avenge. A Dark Angel and Space Wolf respectively. Two chapters who don't usually see eye to eye. I'm wondering if those two were closer to Titus then Beren and Kelstros were.

@@Artemisarrowzz Would be nice to have a prequel storyline as a DLC where we get to see Titus joining the Deathwatch and bonding with his new brothers.
Darious is Dark Angel Beren is Black Templar Ulfar is Space Wolf And the last one is Blood Angel or Blood Raven edit:holy crap so many likes thank and the bonus fact too!
You can buy deathwatch parts from different chapters in the heraldry, kinda like back in the day if you got an action figure it came with one part of a big action figure that you built by buying all the other ones
It's so weird how they all died... if they were normal Astartes then sure, but each member of the Deathwatch is a hardened veteran equipped with thorough scientific knowledge of the Xenos they face. Chadron and Gadriel are basically newbloods yet they mow down hordes like grass
No matter how much of a juiced up and experienced meat slab you are, getting dropped behind enemy lines alone in the heart of a Tyranid swarm is a damn near guaranteed death sentence. Those Bugs don't play fair.
No matter how many Nids you kill, they just keep coming. And sooner or later, even the lowliest Gaunts can overrun a single Astartes. Not mentioning the fact that the moment Carnifex bois join in, even Space Marines tend to have a short lifespan.
i wish we had gotten to see them a bit more in action, maybe another half of that level where you assist one or two and then they fall in battle trying to help the others idk. could make it really cool cus u already had the designs the weapons and the voice actors like Ulfar from Rogue Trader reprising his role here. And dying I guess. Had that sick power axe too.
That game is so well done, on so many levels. It sets the stage by making you feel lonely, having lost your brothers, as the last survivor only to be met with suspicion and distrust and even by being lowered in rank. Through the game these aspects are resolved and even "healed" in a way, to be concluded in brotherhood, trust and accomplishment after going through fire and flames. A true hero's journey.
Leandros did grow up into a decent chaplain, if you pay attention to his dialogue. He went quite far from the little bitch he was, although he's still a bitch and it's his job now.
... or the threat just hit the fan.. After all, it was loaded with a Black Templar, a Blood Angel, a Dark Angel, a Space Wolf, and Captain Titus... and it did hit the fan
It would be really cool to get a story DLC where Titus get's to interact with Marines from other Legions. He'd probably get along quite well or at least better than the other Ultramarines due to his service in the DW and learning each legions culture and differences.
@@ahmedshaharyarejaz9886 Its fan speculation that hasn't been confirmed one way or another. But yeah if you're curious,. Ulfar is the name of the space marine you can recruit in Rogue Trader. Personally i lean towards this just being a common name for space wolves as i feel they would have made the reference more obvious and in none of ulfar''s endings does he enter the deathwatch.
@@libertinareyI thought one of the devs confirmed this is a different Ulfar. But yeah, assuming it’s just a common Space Wolf name in the same way there’s lots of fictional Viking characters named Sven.
I do find it weird how at the early stage invasion a specialized inquisition stealth aircraft gets absolutely swarmed by gargoyles yet later on in the invasion Ultramarine Thunderhawks just casually fly in and out completely undisturbed.
Well, one of them is an extremely fast infiltration and fire support aircraft designed to transport one kill team… and the other is a flying brick designed to transport up to 30 space marines. Bit of a difference there.
I mean… that’s like saying everyone has fallen to the Black Rage with nids dead around them. But this doesn’t change the possibility that they did fall to the Black Rage at the end. Granted, if a Blood Angel were to fall to the Black Rage, I don’t see them dying to lesser nids or maybe even Warriors. Though, the Rippers are a treacherous and festering threat that would do well against a berserker Astartes, hence how he was covered in them.
This mission was filled with loneliness and despair

Interesting team: an Ultramarine, a Space Wolf (my favourite chapter), a Dark Angel (amazing that he coexists with a Wolf, but this makes the team more interesting), a Blood Angel and a Black Templar; with the restrictive mentality of an Ultramarine due to their devotion to the Codex, it would have been difficult to interact with the others if it weren't for the fact that in this case it's Titus who represents his chapter (someone unorthodox in his ways, despite being a black shield). Basically all of them are heirs of the first founding and although technically the Black Templar is from the second founding, after the Imperial Fists were almost wiped out in The War of the Beast, technically the Templars are the base chapter of the Primarch Rogal Dorn, by giving most of the genetic seeds to restore the once main chapter.
Titus who was largely influenced by Calgar made him an outlier of his chapter he sees what the codex is worth but doesn't implicitly look at it as the be all end all answer its a guideline but even rules need to bend or even be broken at times to achieve said goals. Hell look at how many times their own Primarch has broken the rules of the codex and even said its only guidelines but due to his absence and zeal its got misinterpreted
Johnson has given me forgiveness, Azrael never did for he is a traitor hiding a 10 millenia old secret. For we were brothers but were hunted as the fallen. Now I am a risen Primeris Dark Angel there will be penance to Azrael and his green kinsmen, no bad memory to towards the wolf man for it was a similar order followed through by us, just like when we were asked to defend our home against our Primarch, just as we were ordered to hunt the fallen. There is a heretic amongst us and so we bare no grudge against the dogs of the emperor !
@Horde334 calgar was always a strict codex adherent, he called a conclave to debate the creation of the tyranic war veterans. Strict adherence to the codex is what makes the ultramarines interesting as it is their flaw that they need to overcome. Guilliman coming back and both space marine games have done more damage to the ultramarines lore than Matt ward. You can get away with one character being unorthodox in Uriel Ventris but having to many cheapens the unique aspect of the chapter.
Darius Beren Ulfar Kelstros You have done the Deathwatch, your chapters, and the Emperor proud. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten, nor shall your deaths be forgiven. The Tyranids shall pay.
@@lordlopikong6940 But Titus yes, and the rest who appear are too. I said it as if it were the Ultramarins themselves who pay tribute to them and prepare to avenge them.
In my opinion when they crash landed each of their deaths tell a story based on environment. Darius Literally only had Bolt pistol, So when his ammo ran out he literally bashed hordes with only his fist and empty bolt pistol until he got swarmed. Beren was probably injured when the Corvus Blackstar crashlanded and he crawled out with injured leg with Bolt pistol on one hand and virus bomb on the other(he kept the virus bomb safe) and got swarmed Ulfar had no ranged weapon only his power Axe when he got seperated(which is good cuz he is melee specialist, u know cuz space wolves), you can hear how much he kills in melee during the vox chat between him and kelstros Kelstros had his Bolt rifle so Him and Ulfar were luckiest along side Titus who scavenged full gear from his fallen brothers. When u find Kelstros body he is dead with a hallway of tyranid bodies and corpse pile behind him. IMO they were all badasses
Darious: Dark Angel Beren: Black Templar Ulfar: Space Wolf Kelstros: Blood Angel Titus: Black Shield - Formerly Ultramarine Brothers all. Edit: Unnamed Brother changed to Kelstros
The game really shows how the soldiers really respect each other and view everyone as brothers and when they die, they always say things like how they served well with the emperor, heartbreaking…
Steam discontinued region prices for my country, so basically the game’s price is almost my whole working day wage. But even The first two hours of gameplay are fully worth it it, gosh i have not had these emotions since i was a kid or teenager. The amount of details you can easily miss is overwhelming.
I love the animation when he takes the weapon away from Beren's corpse. Unlike the brash animations we're used to, of simply janking away loot from corpses, he picks it up gently, moving his arm as slowly as possible as to show kindness, even to his lifeless body. Precious yet tragic
I'd be down for an entire game where you're in the deathwatch, perhaps the initial rivalry each member might have considering they all come from different cultures and value different tactics, but grow to learn each other's strengths and weaknesses to better work as a team
Contrary to popular belief, Space Marines do, in fact, feel fear just like normal Humans. The difference is that Space Marine training allows them to do their jobs and continue their mission despite the fear, but they still feel it, and sometimes it wins over. I can be sure that Titus, slowly finding his brothers dead one by one, felt fear crawling up his spine. He likely fully believed he was going to die when that Carnifex broke into the facility, and in all honesty was probably. But the thing with Space Marines is they can be utterly terrified...but they'll more often than not still make sure it isn't an easy fight for whatever abomination they're tangoing with.
Except they actually can’t feel fear. Their ability to feel fear has been all but completely blocked to the point where the only time they will actively feel fear is when some psychic supernatural phenomenon is taking place. As another comment mentioned. Stressful situations are met with almost nothing but aggression by Astartes
@@NorthernNorthdude91749 Novels which you fail to cite. On the top of my head, Helsreach, Horus Rising and Lion Som of the Forest all mention that the closest thing an Astartes can feel to fear is some form of shock, but they are hardwired with "Fight" as the only option. The only moments where they display true fear in the sense we humans understand it is when they are in the presence of supernatural things like Primarchs, which they have a connection to, or warp shenanigans to which silly things like biological engineering don’t matter. "They shall know no fear" being literal is like one of the most well established facts about Astartes, I don’t know why you’re trying to argue it’s not.
When I played this very first mission I made it with tears in my eyes I played Deathwatch in tabletop and my squad was wiped on a necron tomb I felt the loss of the battle brothers...
I really wished that they atleast had SOME form of fighter escort. Like you mean to tell me, that the Corvus Blackshield came all the way from the watch fortress by itself? I mean come on, at least there should be a cruiser up there giving orbital bombardment to soften the nids down there. And even if they are carrying a virus bomb, the fighters should be able to take some of the nids away from the transport ship. Like, maybe a few sacrifical valkyries or something idk...
So saber is able to accurately put the chapter emblem on the right shoulder for deathwatch but we cant do that cause clearly the game was rush and have to wait for the update that lets us put all chapter emblems on the right shoulder for deathwatch cosplay
Would be nice if you could put the Deathwatch pad on the right shoulder too - since you could rep a Marine returned to the Chapter after standing a Deathwatch Vigil.
The game was “rushed” just because one single shoulder plate isn’t the way you want it? Go cry into your bowl of dinosaur nuggies and straw berry moo moo milk you child
Its important to realise that all of the other team members made a huge contribution that ultimately helped Titus complete the mission as he wouldnt have succeeded alone. Darius attracted the attention of the gaunts in the jungle outside the facility and thus clearing the path for Titus to reach it with less resistance that he otherwise would have had. Beren secured the virus bomb from harm because the entire mission would have been for nothing had he failed. Ulfar cleared the path from the facility to Titus' position and thus helping Titus face less resistance and Kelstros held the line for as long as he could inside the facility itself allowing Titus to load the virus bomb into the launcher
@samuelmendoza9356 Kinda like that, yeah, with the exception of Black Shields (black shoulder pauldrons) you can tell each member's home chapter by the colour and symbol on their right shoulder pauldron
I just noticed that the kill team are all the divergent table top marine armies with their own special rules and models. Dark Angels, Black Templars, Space Wolves, and Blood Angels
I can only react to gameplay since i cant afford the game, but when i watched the first mission i couldnt help but think of all the raw emotion running through titus, seeing all his homies dead.
you KNOW were getting some kill team story DLC and well get the old school space marine armor and the old style of bolter and bolt pistol, i cant wait!!!!!!!
Reminds me of the bitter sweet angst from the ending of Republic Commando. Your battel brothers, comrades in arms; you are simply the accounted factors in a calculus of war.
Makes me wish we had a game where we could play as Titus during his service in the deathwatch, or a deathwatch game that’s like XCOM… *sigh* why does GW hate easy money?
There is an XCOM-esque game currently out, Chaos Gate: Daemonhunters, though it's centered on the Grey Knights and not the Deathwatch. A game in a similar format though would be awesome.
Fun fact, ulfar in this has the same voice actor as ulfar in rogue trader, which leads me to believe ulfar from rogue trader joined the deathwatch and died in space marine 2
Deathwatch missions are classified by the inquisition a single kill team sent without any back up and gets picked off one by one a text book enable of anything they could go wrong did
personal opinion here but I think that the order we find the squad will also be the order of which the unique chapter gear for the season pass comes out, the first we are getting is the dark angel so that means we will likely get black templar unique gear next, then space wolves, and finally, blood angels.
incase you didnt know Ulfar is the same spacewolf from warhammer 40k rouge trader took me quite a while to notice nice little easter egg sad that he dies
Our Brothers may have died, but they all took many with them. Look at the mounds of meat surrounding all of them. Except Ulfar. He probably ate all of them.
For I have crossed the Rubicon, for I have a full armoury of all Relic weapons for I have choice of every level 25 class, for I have retained my Deathwatch armour and have it equipped. I shall deploy to avenge my fallen brothers now !
My brothers would die for me and I for them. You don’t get to grieve on mission. You focus on the job at hand. In the end your brothers are the ones you are really fighting for. Not an ideology or religion but for the brother next to you so they might make it home even if you don’t.
Titus was literally recording his last will when he made the record log. Considering the mission’s high casualty rate, I’m certain Titus didn’t think he was gonna make it as well.

He likely fully believed he was going to die when that Carnifex broke into the facility, and in all honesty was probably. But the thing with Space Marines is they can be utterly terrified...but they'll more often than not still make sure it isn't an easy fight for whatever abomination they're tangoing with.
Their fight or flight response is strongly conditioned towards fight.
Except they actually can’t feel fear. Their ability to feel fear has been all but completely blocked to the point where the only time they will actively feel fear is when some psychic supernatural phenomenon is taking place.
As another comment mentioned. Stressful situations are met with almost nothing but aggression by Astartes
@@letendreelliott8778 That's objectively wrong. They do feel fear. This is established in several novels.
@@NorthernNorthdude91749 Novels which you fail to cite. On the top of my head, Helsreach, Horus Rising and Lion Som of the Forest all mention that the closest thing an Astartes can feel to fear is some form of shock, but they are hardwired with "Fight" as the only option. The only moments where they display true fear in the sense we humans understand it is when they are in the presence of supernatural things like Primarchs, which they have a connection to, or warp shenanigans to which silly things like biological engineering don’t matter.
"They shall know no fear" being literal is like one of the most well established facts about Astartes, I don’t know why you’re trying to argue it’s not.
@@letendreelliott8778 You're allowed to be wrong. Sorry buddy, maybe read more.
Imagine if you heard the Blood Angel roaring Horus' name over vox as he was overwhelmed
0:56 bro missed the parry
oh man see your brothers go down one by one but without a fight those you see them with bodies around them and I felt like I lost brothers
Glory to the first born , forever and always
When I played this very first mission I made it with tears in my eyes I played Deathwatch in tabletop and my squad was wiped on a necron tomb I felt the loss of the battle brothers...
now I realize they are all wearing errant mk8 armor, a chance to have in a game before primaries erases everything firstborn
I really thought when "Killteam Leader" recorded that audio log that I would return to the area in a later mission and find it on his body.
I really wished that they atleast had SOME form of fighter escort. Like you mean to tell me, that the Corvus Blackshield came all the way from the watch fortress by itself? I mean come on, at least there should be a cruiser up there giving orbital bombardment to soften the nids down there. And even if they are carrying a virus bomb, the fighters should be able to take some of the nids away from the transport ship. Like, maybe a few sacrifical valkyries or something idk...
many people had problems noticing the fallen astartes from the rest of the floor, hence why you get the game to pointed it out at you explicitly
I'd like to have seen a bit more with the Deathwatch, I'm curious how they would have all treated a Blackshield.
I think some warrior corpses should've been added, no deathwatch kill marine goes down to one squad of gaunts. (10-20 gaunts is a squad)
So saber is able to accurately put the chapter emblem on the right shoulder for deathwatch but we cant do that cause clearly the game was rush and have to wait for the update that lets us put all chapter emblems on the right shoulder for deathwatch cosplay
Would be nice if you could put the Deathwatch pad on the right shoulder too - since you could rep a Marine returned to the Chapter after standing a Deathwatch Vigil.
The game was “rushed” just because one single shoulder plate isn’t the way you want it?
Go cry into your bowl of dinosaur nuggies and straw berry moo moo milk you child
You can with certain chapters like Raven guard or black Templars
Its important to realise that all of the other team members made a huge contribution that ultimately helped Titus complete the mission as he wouldnt have succeeded alone. Darius attracted the attention of the gaunts in the jungle outside the facility and thus clearing the path for Titus to reach it with less resistance that he otherwise would have had. Beren secured the virus bomb from harm because the entire mission would have been for nothing had he failed. Ulfar cleared the path from the facility to Titus' position and thus helping Titus face less resistance and Kelstros held the line for as long as he could inside the facility itself allowing Titus to load the virus bomb into the launcher
Please let us wear a primaris variant of this armour in future DLC it was so god damn cool
You did miss one more body, iirc there was a salamander but I may be misremembering. I loved this detail in the campaign.
I do not recall a Salamander there, you might have misremember Space Wolf or Dark Angel as a Salamander.
Vulkan Lives
STOMP STOMP
You're misremembering. the bodies in this video are all of Titus' Kill-Team
@@mali5698 isn't Deathwatch composed of Astartes from different chapters like Rainbow Six?
@samuelmendoza9356 Kinda like that, yeah, with the exception of Black Shields (black shoulder pauldrons) you can tell each member's home chapter by the colour and symbol on their right shoulder pauldron
@@mali5698 I'm aware.
Also heartbreaking: Not being able to play with that cloak and cowl in the campaign :(
and that axe!
I let out an audible "get off him* when I saw the swarm around the last brother...
one thing i’ve never realized until now is how they all had they’re chapter markings and titus had his covered up. can’t believe i never noticed
I just noticed that the kill team are all the divergent table top marine armies with their own special rules and models. Dark Angels, Black Templars, Space Wolves, and Blood Angels
And in the end (of this mission), even you would "die"
You do die. You’re just brought back as Primaries. I am certain Titus would die otherwise no?
@@justareguralcitizen9492 They said the wound was fatal so yes
It might count as a symbolic death for Titus... 🤔
Libraries of knowledge just disappeared in the Imperium.
I can only react to gameplay since i cant afford the game, but when i watched the first mission i couldnt help but think of all the raw emotion running through titus, seeing all his homies dead.
you KNOW were getting some kill team story DLC and well get the old school space marine armor and the old style of bolter and bolt pistol, i cant wait!!!!!!!
God I hope so. Deathwatch are my favorite chapter.
This would be THE BEST way to introduce other xenos like Necrons, in flashback operations so as to not advance the plot too quickly
The detail I like the most was when the second in command was given the lead and he let out an anxious sigh before telling the team about the plan
Ain't no way they're carrying that many bolt arounds on them😂
Those Death watch members will not be forgotten
Don't grief brothers, turn your thoughts to vengeance
He forgot to say the words at the end after making his final log. "The Emperor Protects"
A Templar, a Blood Angel, a Dark Angel and a Space Wolf walk into a ship...
when he said ulfar, he sound genuinely panicking
It would be cool if we got Deathwatch operations prequel DLC. It would be a good way to show what the other chapters are like
Each time a space marine die, the galaxy smile
Reminds me of the bitter sweet angst from the ending of Republic Commando. Your battel brothers, comrades in arms; you are simply the accounted factors in a calculus of war.
I wish we could wear our chapter's emblem on the right pauldron. Also, there were leaks about the Mark 7 Aquilla and the Mark 6 Corvus helmets.
Beren. May he crusade eternally by the God Emperors side.
I like how they handled the tutorial level.
Makes me wish we had a game where we could play as Titus during his service in the deathwatch, or a deathwatch game that’s like XCOM… *sigh* why does GW hate easy money?
There is an XCOM-esque game currently out, Chaos Gate: Daemonhunters, though it's centered on the Grey Knights and not the Deathwatch. A game in a similar format though would be awesome.
We only encounter Tyranid's scout party so far, imagine their real army
Alright alright, you persuaded me. I will buy the game.
Bring back the old helmets!
Angry helmets is such a symbol of the Space Marines, the mk10 doesn't even compare.
That's why conversions are a thing. Mk10 with old helmets. 😎
Man I wish we could unlock his Death Watch Armor for story mode.
0:15 what film was this song from? I have a feeling it’s a ww1 film but I’m not sure
Fun fact, ulfar in this has the same voice actor as ulfar in rogue trader, which leads me to believe ulfar from rogue trader joined the deathwatch and died in space marine 2
I wish the game would let you have the Blood Angels chapter icon on the right to recreate the dead Blood Angels Deathwatch unit.
😢it’s so sad to see them dead, we only knew them for a bit but they had aura
Deathwatch missions are classified by the inquisition a single kill team sent without any back up and gets picked off one by one a text book enable of anything they could go wrong did
personal opinion here but I think that the order we find the squad will also be the order of which the unique chapter gear for the season pass comes out, the first we are getting is the dark angel so that means we will likely get black templar unique gear next, then space wolves, and finally, blood angels.
Using Homelander reactions is very appropriate.
Alone, no support, surrounded by Tyranid hordes. Dying is no shame, under those circumstances. Few could survive.
One was a dark angel, the other a Black Templar and the last one a Blood angel.
And Ulfar was a wolf
Well yea the deathwatch are professional beach softners against an unending horde of xenos
It'd be cool if we could get a cape like that in operations, sure the sniper has a cape but thats about it
I wish you could use those bolt pistol and rifle in the rest of the game love the extendo mag on the pistol and the red rifle
incase you didnt know Ulfar is the same spacewolf from warhammer 40k rouge trader took me quite a while to notice nice little easter egg sad that he dies
Our Brothers may have died, but they all took many with them. Look at the mounds of meat surrounding all of them.
Except Ulfar. He probably ate all of them.
I wonder if this Ulfar is the same one you meet in W40k: Rogue Trader
For I have crossed the Rubicon, for I have a full armoury of all Relic weapons for I have choice of every level 25 class, for I have retained my Deathwatch armour and have it equipped. I shall deploy to avenge my fallen brothers now !
The only other different chapters we seen in this game unfortunately the last
Would love to see that Blood Angel's last stand, that room is utter xenos butchery
My brothers would die for me and I for them. You don’t get to grieve on mission. You focus on the job at hand. In the end your brothers are the ones you are really fighting for. Not an ideology or religion but for the brother next to you so they
might make it home even if you don’t.
I’m still pissed that they killed Ulfar he was my boi in RT
