I’m so happy you guys are doing 40k that pretty much makes it official you cover everything I have even a passing interest in this is my favorite channel to play when I’m going to sleep I just let it shuffle through no matter what it always is something I’m interested in
Some points I might refine and expand upon but overall a good video for new people. However, I think the use of the term powerful might be referring to their prestige or size? A force of Astartes is generally OP in any situation but as you have pointed out correctly, not all chapters are team players. A host of factors contribute to this but I find it adds to the flavor of this universe, that humanity's greatest defenders are essentially inhuman and sometimes turn on those they're meant to protect.
@@kekkoinennah not all. Word bearers , emperors children, death guard, thousand sons, iron warriors , alpha legion are still there. Black legion is a mix , and a lot of world eaters war bands are the main ones that broke down into smaller factions
Salamanders may be ranked 20th but they are number 1 in my heart. Bringers of blazing death but also protectors the little people. Honestly I think the other marine chapters can learn something from them.
my favorites are the carcharodons and their chapter master Tyberos the red wake, the Tome Keepers for their philosophy of warfare and culture of the recruiting planet and Salamanders ....Vulkan lives!
@greg Robertson so hits pretty heavily hinted that they have “chimeric” gene seed meaning they mixed 2 or more primarchs gene seed together but your right it’s either one or the other or both of them (definitely one of my favorites tyberos is such a fuckin beast his power/chain claws supposedly belonged to corvus corax that’s how big he is he wears primarch weapons with no problem)
Hold up how did you miss the Minotaurs??? They are literally the chapter the high lords of terra send when they need to fuck up other space marines!! They are one of the best equipped chapters still fielding contemptor dreadnoughts and other heresy era equipment. Asterion Moloch is basically immortal and can almost hang with custodes. In fact the whole chapter fought some custodes and didn’t immediately get wiped out that puts any astartes at top tier.
Whoa whoa there buddy,you're forgetting some others that are more dangerous than some mentioned,what about the Minotaurs,the space marines who were made to kill other marines and what about the Legion of the damned cause they are definitely one of the most horrific due to the fact they they come out of nowhere.
I always found the 1k chapter size to be a little unbelievable, I get they're super humans but given the size of the larger battles how are there not more examples like titan fires single shot whole chapters instant toast. How am I expected to believe 1k troops is gonna make a difference when they might be facing armies of millions of zenos?
I think they have a problem in general with sizes of army’s and battles I follow the majorkill theory and add a 0 to the number of combatants especially when you go back to the 30k legion days
Yeah it makes no sense honestly. The numbers don't either. WWII numbers make Warhammer numbers child's play for one. This is why I add a few zeros to everything I read just about. Brother Hood of the Snake comes to mind. A planet is under threat from Black Eldar and they send a single new battle brother and apparently he and his speeder turned the tide of the war... Yeah okay... Or a squad of Custodes taking out a million Tyranids simply due to a Volcano behind them. Don't get me started on the IG. Like you don't train, feed, supply an army. Then use rare ships with ultra rare mutants to go and fight with a Las gun as cannon fodder. Sorry! Even if life is cheap - resources and time is not.
The Blood Angels and the successor chapters were almost wiped out during the Devastation of Baal??? The Astral Knights committed a grand sacrifice against the Necrons, stopping the world engine I believe. (tho the few remaining survivors of the Astral Knights were unable to continue their lineage) Celestial Lions were eliminated slowly by the Inquisition. 30 chapters were sent on a crusade inside the eye of Terror. Lamenters and Mantis Warrior were on the receiving end of the Bagdab war and are unfit to be combat ready with low numbers. Anyways 1k space marines aren't always alone. There's probably guardsmans, imperial navy, titans, imperial knights and other war machines and allies deployed in bigger wars. Example, Siege of Vraks and Helsreach.
Space Marines are generally not supposed to be fighting in pitched battles like that. That's what the Guard is for. Astartes are special forces. They can hold the line if need be, but that should be a last resort for how you're deploying them.
some minor mistakes here and there but overall very nice summary! I understand that it´s very subjective, but no Minotaurs chapter? The Minotaurs take orders only from the Highlords of Terra, not answering to anyone else, they have one if not the best and fastest influx of recruits and the best of the best gear, always supplied to max with everything new and most powerful. Also, unlike any other chapter, when they deploy, the do so en masse. They don´t split their force, entire chapter deploys at once and commits to singular goal. Also... confirmed to origin from Iron Warriors. They are definitaly one of the most brutal chapter.
Did I miss them or were the Minotaurs not on this list? They should be, they're literally the chapter that gets sent in to deal with other potential subversive Astartes 😂
1:09 In the somber vastness of the cosmos, there lies a storm cloaked in ceramite and piety, a tempest wrought by the God-Emperor's indomitable will - they are the Black Templars. These knights of vengeance are a refraction of His celestial might. They are His sword and His shield, the physical testament to His boundless vigil, emblazoned with the sigils of eternity, bearing weapons consecrated with the essence of sanctity itself. Where their boots tread, they leave the imprint of His undying resolve, etching His decree upon the fractured face of the universe. Each Black Templar stands as an obelisk, etched with the saga of a million martyred souls, a litany of vengeance written upon their hearts. They are monuments to human might, their gene-forged forms the pinnacle of Terran artifice. With each thunderous heartbeat, they pledge relentless crusade to purge the unholy trinity of alien, heretic, and witch from the realm of Man. Their drop pods descent heralds the onset of judgment, meteoric avatars of retribution punching through atmospheres like the fiery fists of the God-Emperor. When they unfurl their glory upon a blighted land, even the air quivers with the intensity of their zeal. The ground quakes beneath their armored tread, and from their throats, a battle-cry roils forth to challenge the very stars: a roar that sears through heresy like a blade forged in the fires of their righteous fury. They are the sentinels at the edge of night, the torchbearers in the eternal dark, pushing back against the abyss with the luminescence of their faith. As they raise their bolters, each shot is a benediction, a sacred utterance that banishes the shadows with its sanctified report. The chainswords they wield are hymnals, each tooth inscribed with oaths of eradication, singing choruses of devastation as they rend flesh and bone. To witness them in battle is to observe a symphony of carnage conducted by the maestro of holy vengeance. Their charge is a majestic tide, a relentless smiting force destined to reclaim the darkness and baptize it in fire, to cast light upon the heresy of existence without the God-Emperor’s grace. In the presence of the Black Templars, the witch chokes on her curses, the alien's arrogance crumbles to terror, and the heretic's betrayal is repaid tenfold. Their retribution is as inevitable as the decay of time and as relentless as the turning of the heavens. For they are the God-Emperor’s fury given form, His contempt for the xeno, the heretic, and the warlock made manifest. They are the edge of humanity's sword and the shield against the encroaching night. Through the Black Templars’ veins courses the ichor of vindication, their spirits alight with the fire of a thousand suns, each one a beacon of devastation to the God-Emperor's foes. The oaths that gird them bind them to a crusade without end, an odyssey of salvation across the star-strewn sea of eternity. By the light of the Astronomican, they bear witness to the God-Emperor's majesty, a testament to His undying sovereignty over the scattered realms of Man. The Black Templars, with every swing of their swords and every prayer upon their lips, do not simply fight battles; they etch the saga of humanity’s indomitable spirit into the flesh of the galaxy itself. They are the avatars of celestial retribution, the holy aegis of humanity, eternally vigilant, forever burning bright in the darkness, until the stars themselves fade to dust at time’s end.
No mention of the risen. Or the Minotaurs. Or the legion of the Damned... Or even indeed the Custodes (granted they're not really Space Marines but better in every way...). Slightly sad about those facts but otherwise really happy to see Warhammer content!
Black Templars follow the Codex Astartes which states the only chapters who has a homeplanet and or not on crusade has to be 1000 strength and then Sigismund said: "Okay fucker, ETERNAL CRUSADE IT IS!"
Your pronunciation, or mispronunciation I should say, of primarchs' names, is absolutely unfreaking acceptable. GILLYMAN? And the Khan? God man it was painful

Hell YES!!! I have been a long time subscriber, and I am SO FREAKING HAPPY THAT YOU ARE COVERING WARHAMMER 40K!!!!!
I found scp-963 😂😂😂
Love the Raven Guard.
I’m so happy you guys are doing 40k that pretty much makes it official you cover everything I have even a passing interest in this is my favorite channel to play when I’m going to sleep I just let it shuffle through no matter what it always is something I’m interested in
I’m a Lamenters fan personally
If I may make a suggestion do more predator clans about who's the deadliest I also enjoy your guys's content
Awesome video
Carcharodon is pronounced as karkarodons is per my understanding since it is based on the greek name for the genus of sharks
Finally I’ve been waiting for y’all to cover warhammer can you do one covering thor
“Slay by the blood, Slay by the Great Angel” 🩸
Awesome space marines video

It's a space marine day that's all that has been popping up in my feed today
Now do the traitor legions. Hydra Dominatus
30k alpha legion r definitely in top 3 of sickest looking armor (thousand sons and iron warriors are 1 and 2 in no particular order)
Aren't most if not all of the traitor legions broken up
@@kekkoinennah not all. Word bearers , emperors children, death guard, thousand sons, iron warriors , alpha legion are still there. Black legion is a mix , and a lot of world eaters war bands are the main ones that broke down into smaller factions
The flesh tearers are the only chapter to ever struck fear into the green skins & cause them to retreat
Salamanders may be ranked 20th but they are number 1 in my heart. Bringers of blazing death but also protectors the little people. Honestly I think the other marine chapters can learn something from them.
I love the first top 5 that were named first 😎. FOR THE EMPEROR!!! FOR THE WOLF KING!!!!!
Your pronunciation of the White Scars Primarch was brutal. 😁 Otherwise great video.
I was surprised that no mention was made of the Blood Ravens.
FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!!!!!!
Ultrasmurths
my favorites are the carcharodons and their chapter master Tyberos the red wake, the Tome Keepers for their philosophy of warfare and culture of the recruiting planet and Salamanders ....Vulkan lives!
Pretty sure they are accepted as Raven Guard or Night Lords successors
@greg Robertson so hits pretty heavily hinted that they have “chimeric” gene seed meaning they mixed 2 or more primarchs gene seed together but your right it’s either one or the other or both of them (definitely one of my favorites tyberos is such a fuckin beast his power/chain claws supposedly belonged to corvus corax that’s how big he is he wears primarch weapons with no problem)

Salalalalamanders, baby!
🐉🔥🔥🔥
You forgot about Raptors.
I love Raven Guard, Raptors, Salamanders, Space Wolves and Dark Angels
Whoa whoa there buddy,you're forgetting some others that are more dangerous than some mentioned,what about the Minotaurs,the space marines who were made to kill other marines and what about the Legion of the damned cause they are definitely one of the most horrific due to the fact they they come out of nowhere.
The Emperor Protects!
SPACE WOLVES!!!!!
FFFFUCKING FURRIES!
HAIL TO THE WOLF KING
Space sharks
E@t sh!t
Space Wolves are what got me into 40k.

Do the grey knights fall under the 1’000 member rule?
Is anyone else disappointed that the blood ravens weren’t on the list
What about Luna Wolves? They were an extremly string legion of the Empire before the Heresy
Iron Hands need more lore
nice
For the Emperor!😎👍
some minor mistakes here and there but overall very nice summary!

Let’s be honest mate, this is a video covering legions not chapters
HYDRA DOMINATSU!...i mean..Victorus aut Mortis
For the Allfarther and Russ.
I think you missed the most powerful of all chapters, The Legion of the Damned
I got a feeling this script is written by.... Abominable Intelligence
HOWLING GRIFFINS!!!
The Dark Angels are THE BEST LEGION!!!!
Screw you Blue Berry Balls
SALAMANDER LOVA❤❤❤
Black templars all day
Death watch "Rouge marine"
Dark angels
where they are known for games blood ravens Whit theirs hero Gabriel Angelos.
Aren’t salamanders really weak in lore because they put their lives over civilians so much?
Where's the Lamenters, the Blood Knights or the Exorcist chapters?!
Black dragons for the win!
Did you forget about Minotaurs or do you think they dont belong into the top 25?
Question: Which one is the most badass?
Answer: Well... yes, of course!
What about Blood Raven ?
Did I miss them or were the Minotaurs not on this list? They should be, they're literally the chapter that gets sent in to deal with other potential subversive Astartes 😂
half of the lore is somewhat wrong, but close enough for non-dedicated channel. Kudos for bringing WH40 to the normies.
You should not involve the grey knights in the same list as other space marines .
They are listed as the 666th chapter in space marine lists.
What is the game featuring grey knights?
Chaos gate
Fallout 4 with mods
Why aren't the minotaurs on this list? They literally make sport of other astartes. 🐮

You literally have no clue with this list your Grey Knight entry and general info about most of the chapters was shockingly bad 😂😅😂😅
He did okay, especially for someone who doesn't normally cover 40k. At least he's not acting like an INCEL gate keeper.
(*laugh in papa nurgle) hahaha...
No mention of the risen. Or the Minotaurs. Or the legion of the Damned...
Or even indeed the Custodes (granted they're not really Space Marines but better in every way...).
Slightly sad about those facts but otherwise really happy to see Warhammer content!
Charcarodons are the space sharks, not a sub faction of them!
Ultramarines are the best!!!!!
There is some very goofy AI art in here. Did no one look at their weapons?
I really like the black templars. Just a lot
No matter how powerful they are it might not be enough to win against the alien forces that threaten mankind
great video but i thumbs down because the AI art is offensive to the eye
ULTRAMARINES cope smurf haters glory to the Emperor
This isn't a "top 25" this is a "legions slightly explained"... Why the MISLEADING clickbait?
Black Templars follow the Codex Astartes which states the only chapters who has a homeplanet and or not on crusade has to be 1000 strength and then Sigismund said: "Okay fucker, ETERNAL CRUSADE IT IS!"
Bro your pronunciation is killing me lol
Your pronunciation, or mispronunciation I should say, of primarchs' names, is absolutely unfreaking acceptable. GILLYMAN? And the Khan? God man it was painful
some of that ai generated art although cool hurts to look at
ok, but where are the world eaters or the alpha legion this is such imperial propaganda
you can just read the chapter names normally....
