Serious shit. Has such a relaxing way of going over lore where he gives enough to satisfy and leaves out enough incase viewers want to go out of their way to learn more.
Re: the Omophagea: I have a theory that this is what contributed to driving Curze insane; It goes to reason that Primarchs would have this organ too, and it probably works better than a baseline marine's equivalent. It's been implied that during his formative years, Curze lived primarily on the occasional stray dog, and AS MANY PEOPLE AS HE COULD EAT. These were not regular people, either. They were violent criminals. How many memories of violent crime did that guy have floating around in his brain by the time he was found??
The reason why the Larraman's Organ produces specialized cells instead of just have more or better platelets, is because just increasing platelet performance would result in more internal blood clots and thus strokes and heart attacks. The Larraman’s cells allow for rapid wound sealing without causing such problems. They also result in faster healing and less scaring because the wound is sealed by living tissue instead of a dead blood clot.
Yeah despite some Esoteric and odd stuff SM in 40K does have a lot of medical sense, for example Increasing in size isn't enough to make a SM, you need to Upgrade the person's Metabolism, His Body Structure, His Respiration and so on, so the long list of Organs being presented makes complete Medical sense because they are made to compliment each other and compensate for the increased in Size.
I have heard plenty of stories of some space marines using their acid spit. Most of the time it is after they are imprisoned and getting interrogated (A lot of people do not know that space marines can spit acid) or by a world eater using it in a melee fight.
One of my favorite lore that involves the Space Marine's taste and being able to detect toxins, was in the book Storm Of Iron, where the Imperial Officer explains to the Imperial Fist Captain that the oxygen on this planet was toxic with radiation and every human should take these 💊 to retain a good health. The Captain looked confused, took a good wiff and said that the oxygen is totally fine. As the Captain put a 💊 in his mouth, he spat it out quickly and told the Officer the pills is what's poisoning them.
The Omophagea is not complete nonsense. It just relies on the concept of genetic memory and the older scientific belief that memory was primarily stored chemically in the brain. Though it is often referenced with the idea that a marine gains someone’s memories by eating their brain, it’s more important usage is to gain an organisms instincts by eating any part of their flesh. This allows an Astartes dropped into a novel environment to quickly adapt to their surroundings. Yes, the underlying scientific theories behind this mechanism are no longer popular, it made some sense for a sci-fi franchise in the 1980s. Especially, one heavily influenced by the Dune novels which feature genetic memory prominently.
It’s also part of that super-science and literal magic mix. Of course a lot of this stuff is nonsense, Magic is inherent in the foundation of the universe.
I dont see how the concept has fallen out of fashion. How else can you explain how animals or organisms have certain ingrained, not learned, behaviors? Their genes have a memory. Babies know how to cry when first born to attract the attention of their parents for safe guarding, bees instinctively know how to waggle dance, being able to describe the direction and distance of discovered pollen with complex movements, species of birds know mating dances to attract partners. It's something we don't understand, but we know it there. Somehow, some way, behavior and knowledge is coded into us.
Had frank herbert been a Freudian instead of jungian space marines would have a gland that increases the brains capacity for sublimation and rationalization… which… yeah they already got that I spades.
Even on a video where I feel like I should know everything, you always sprinkle little breadcrumbs for me to learn about like the Black Dragons who I can now on my own go learn about. Feels like every video of yours I watch I pin a wiki tab or two to check the refs on later.
Thats also sorta not... NECESSARILY true, even for all normal base space marines. The black carapace, while "organic," I would argue is directly a cybernetic implant. It is, speficially, the thing that allows a space marine to interface, and CONNECT with their armor, the giant machine that they wear. Sorta like the neural interfaces in Halo, it allows spartans (and even some normal soldiers, with other tech) to DIRECTLY connect to their machines. That is a cybernetic implant
16:43 this is a really good explanation for why space marines use bolters and not something more practical for dispatching infantry (like a normally vehicle mounted heavy machinegun) using a full auto rocket launcher is that much more memorable, and when you only have 1000 marines per chapter and have to support the whole galaxy, making an impression may actually be more important than the damage they deal
Always thought the Omophagea helped your brain fire the same reactions the brain you ate had to mimic that memory. I mean, that's what a memory is. A certain way your brain fired awhile ago, that's why memories become hazy and other details can be added in
Yes, Space Marines are designed to be highly effective and terrifying shock troops, but there’s a bit more going on in their design than just that. First thing to consider is that the primary source of military casualties prior to the late modern era was disease, so the Astartes robust physiology is a hard counter to that very real concern. The second thing to consider is logistics. An army marches on its stomach and the ability to eat anything combined with their extreme metabolic efficiency means that a chapter of space marines is far cheaper to operate than a regiment of guard despite requiring a higher initial investment. This means they can operate in the field for far longer periods and with greater independence than a mortal force. Finally consider the Black Carapace a.k.a. The Interface. It not only helps connect the space marine to his armor for mobility, it also integrates the armors sensor systems directly into the space marine’s awareness. Inputs a bioengineered man-machine interface organ, and likely allows for greater connectivity and control to ALL the technology an Astartes uses. Taken together I think the space marines are designed to be more than shock troops. They are designed to be a replacement for the Men of Iron. Humanity built its power base during the dark age of technology using armies of sentient robots. The Emperor knew he needed an equivalent if he was going to return humanity to galactic dominance. The Space Marines are a biological answer to that technological gap.
Don't forget that first trial to improve Space Marines was in the middle of Horus Heresy, at Deliverance, within Raven Guard. Corvus basically discover some forgotten work of tech-priest genemage and implement it in new batch of Space Marines. Apparently, it was so good that Alpha Legion was deployed to fucked it up. Traitors were scared as fuck.
Fun fact: The reason Imperial Fists don't have a functioning Betcher's gland is that Dorn spit in Khorne's face so hard that the Fist's Geneseed itself knows there's no point competing.
"Space marines are intended to be shock troops" I would like to add to that: FOR FIGHTING OTHER HUMANS. Space marines fight xenos NOW cause they are really the biggest threats out there any more in human space, but during the great crusade, the emperor knew that they would really just be needing to fight the human colonies that had either gone astray or wouldn't want to join the empire willingly. Space marines are a bit like Spartans from Halo in that way- yeah, they fight aliens, but that's just cause aliens happened to show up. They were not, however, made for that original purpose, or else they would probably be a lot different than they are now.
FYI if your ribs were fused together into solid bone the reduction in mobility would be seriously substantial. Like your scalenes in your attach to the ribs, movement would also be seriously hampered with the shoulder girdle as many of the chest muscles attach, you guessed it, into the ribs.
Hypothesis: The Belisarian Furnace is why Redemptor Dreadnought "pilots" burn out. Their bodies are so ravaged that the Furnace keeps firing and eventually kills them.
The more common use of the betchers gland is to aid in digesting materials that would normally be impossible to digest. Apparently its useful for cellulose from plants, which normally passes through the digestive system intact. I dont really know what benefit there is to consuming cellulose, but it seems the space marines get a lot of them i guess..
Works well when you are stuck on a blasted irradiated hellscape with minimal support and just need something, ANYTHING, to eat to keep fighting another day. Like the conditions the Thunder Warriors and their mortal allies faced during the Unification Wars.
Cellulose is actually the most common organic compound on earth in raw biomass! Humans can only digest cellulose thanks to our gut bacteria-it’s actually an inside joke that humans evolved as much of a flesh house for bacteria as we evolved for our own means. So putting that in 40k terms, it means that if you’re on a decently lush planet; you DONT NEED TO FEED YOUR ARMY. Imagine an army of cows who could just live off of grass, that is a HUGE logistical win.
Holy shit, only a year? And it's been a year already? 1: HUGE congratulations on reaching almost 50k, sounds weird but that's genuinely great growth. 2nd: Forgot you've only been around a year, feels like I've been watching you longer. 3rd: At the same time, feels like I found your Lil channel just yesterday and already it's a year later. Man time flies.
9:02 So, if the previous organs allow the space marine to filter out toxins and poisons, this one allows them to realize they've been poisoned. Also, since they can chew and eat nearly everything, this organ also allows them to figure out the composition of anything they chew. Like, for example, chewing dirt to detect traces of the individual or creature you're tracking.
Great video man, Keep it up! Space marines are pretty cool. They fit that niche of "super soldiers" that most settings need. But with 40k the levels get more and more insane over time
"Drop 100 soldiers from today vs 1 space marine and it would probably be equal" depends a LOT on the soldiers. Not in a "Delta force would totally shmokes that guy!" Way. More like you would need a 100 man unit with their standard attached heavy weapons like machine guns and mortars and rocket launchers to have a chance. Were talking about charitably, two eye slits that a modern rifle would have a chance of penetration on with enough sustained fire. All the while, return fire is literally exploding dudes. While theoretically possible a hundred rifleman could win, itd be a one in a thousand or more scenario. WITH that heavy fire support, I'd still probably put it 50/50
Damn very interesting and informative video. I've been into 40k since the late 90s and I never really realized that fear is essentially the main weapon of the Space Marines. It looks so self evident when you take a step back and look at the big picture. Great video all in all.👍
The analyzing the poison organ may have been intended to be used to assist mortal allies that were at risk nearby. Basically just an atmosphere/water detector to tell the Guardsmen get the hell back.
Oh emperor on the throne imagine the disaster, when the tyranids get their claws on that DNA, a primarch gland, even if incomplete, what can they do with that?
I would probably argue that the thing that lets a Space Marine process memories and knowledge from eating something/someone's brain is more of a "fantasy bullshit" thing than a "science fiction bullshit" thing, which is fitting to what is more of a "Science Fantasy" setting
one funny thing about the memory eating thing is that they are not the only one who can do it. ive heard of some tyranid forms having this ability. no idea what the implications of that are.
So many augmentations yet their warrior culture while badass definitely slows them down or becomes a detriment. No matter how smart you are if you don’t commit to tactics and strategies than you’re not in full efficiency but let’s be serious we all love this. Than again the guardsmen cover that though if they were well equipped when dealing with astartes and other monsters such giving them bolters,plasmas,hotshots las,hellgun and anything armour piercing. Majority of those guardsmen are conscripted not even highly trained nor motivated yet they still hold themselves well. Very few are highly trained as the Cadians or skilled as the Catachans. As the saying goes without the space marines a year without the mechanicus a month without the guard a day the Imperium could survive.
The omaphageia or whatever it’s called,in my head it’s actually warp shenanigans with the surgeries just acting as a catalyst and type of imperial propaganda to dispute the warp origins of the ability.
In the original Space Marine novel from waaaay back, when the scouts were training their Preomnor, it came across that they can detect and analyse things like hormones and various combinations of chemicals from which they figure out history more than memories per se. Which makes a bit more sense.
5:50 The only thing that may make this make sense is the connection to the warp. After all, the gene seed only works if it comes from a primarch, a primarch is a warp being in real space (I think).
100 normal humans vs a space marine would not be a fair fight on any level. A space marine weighs between 500-1000kg and can run at a speed of 50-70km in bursts, combine that with superhuman reflexes it would absolutely run around in circles of a company of modern soldiers. It would essentially just run at humans and break their bones and kill them, really annoys me that the lore rarely brings this up. Now, but regular humans in a fortified position with heavy weapons and then they might actually get lucky and kill one
Yea for example a custodes punched a hole straight through an ogryns chest and killed another one by flicking a rock at him so a spacemarine should probably be able to crush a human skull between their fingers not that they are even remotely close to custodes but still
4:48 I remember there was this soldier who basically overdosed on meth and was wandering all the place in the battlefield. His mission was to transport the supply to the rest of the troops but soviet soldiers happened and got lost as a result.
As a doctor ask of these organs are absolute nonsense but this was very fun to listen to and it makes me want to write physiologically “plausible” lore behind warhammer 40k / DND
You've only been doing this for a year? Man, your style has always seemed so developed, right from the start.

The Larraman’s cells allow for rapid wound sealing without causing such problems.

I think they heal by basically attaching to the damaged tissue and replacing whatever cells are missing, because space marines scar LIKE HELL.
