The pauldrons actually make sense on space marine armour. If the marine turns his body 45 degrees and braces his gun to fire from the hip, much of his upper body is then covered by thick ceramite plates. The massive pauldrons cover half of his torso while the exposed half is angled enough for rounds to ricochet off. To make himself even more well-protected, the marine can go on one knee and use his strong shin/knee plates to cover the relatively less protected hip area. In that pose, an enemy shooting at the marine front on with something like a bolter can only aim for the helmet, the forearms and hands holding the bolter, or whatever joints that are still exposed.
plus, and more importentely, the pauldron gives enough space for the serfs and servitor to put lavish decoration and symboles on them, big enough for being seen from the other side of the battlefield. As it has been said, "let these degenerates know what is coming for them!"
Isn't it actually canon that space marine pauldrons are literally meant for exactly what you said? Like, they're so big specifically to add much more defence to more vulnerable areas and allow them to reposition themselves to block oncoming fire with these more heavily defended areas. I know it's canon that melee weapons are so common because they genuinely need them for more heavily armored opponents, so heavier armor in certain areas would make sense to defend themselves enough to both reduce projectile damage and get in melee range to strike anything with similar armor levels
@Alphagon & Omegarius I would assume because if that’s the case firing from the hip is wildly inaccurate and this technique wouldn’t really work with swords as well.

Even without plot armor, stormtrooper rifles are cqc, to the point where they don't even have good stocks, so their accuracy is sub par at best. The lasgun they'd best compare to is the Voss used by Armageddon Steel Legion. But even then the Voss has a folding stock, and its full auto (tho only full auto). But even then, Armageddon has much better morale, better close quarters training, (they even fight ORKS in melee sometimes. Hell they even have specialists at fighting orks in melee, I'm not kidding those exist), more firepower, more special and heavy weapons teams, and pretty much always come in a tank (they are MECHANIZED after all).

@@calebbarnhouse496 Do keep in mind actual IG regulars are actually well trained. Conscripts of course aren't, but regular troops are heavily trained. Also flak armor isn't just fancy cloth, it's real armor capable of withstanding shots from lasguns/autoguns and keeping the soldier alive.
Well, those oversize pauldrons do have some usefulness on them. Such as blocking laser shots, bolt rounds, and melee weapons, hell I remember one book where a Space Marine uses a damaged pauldron to smack a large bug thing square in the face before dying in glorious, yet mauled to death, glory.
The galactic empire : only existed for barely 20 years and lost to rebels The imperium of man : been around for over 10,000 years, suffered a galactic civil war, a cosmic tear and has vast enemies at every turn and STILL has entire sections of its domains untouched and "relatively peaceful" (paradise worlds for example)
@@aquatic4760 Actually, the Ciaphas Cain series is an interesting take on the Imperium because it has sections where it shows that not all life in the 40k universe is hell, which makes sense. With the Imperium being so large, there definitely will be some areas that won't be touched directly by war, which a lot of the other books don't cover. We mostly see war zones where life is definitely hell but I suspect that it would be a skewed one sided view of an imperium of a million worlds.
Give him so credit, he's a pretty high end dude even for 40k, especially in legends Plus when he uses the force no demons will turn his anus into a door to literally Hell so-
He's more like a dark eldar high tier psyker. You can obliterate him, but he still respawns. Just like any dark eldar worth their salt. And he can use all of his force powers with no malus. So he could solo 9 - 12 other psykers, and merely win with attrition as the enemy's heads just explode.
Death Troopers vs Tempestus Scions would be fairly even. Stormtroopers are literally conscripts in armor only effective at dealing with heat based weapons. A guard conscript would be the best matchup.
@@randomdude8202 Stormtroopers aren't, they're considered highly trained. With vigorous training. The galactic empire's army would be where simple conscripts would be found. In close quarters stormtroopers excell, their armor is made to deal with blasters. Plasma weapons. So lasguns ain't doing much. Bullets? Nope last time I checked the armor is bulletproof besides the goggles.
@@randomdude8202 Not really. When we look at what blasters and lasguns have been shown and stated to be capable of they are about even. Blasters have feats that suggest they might be more powerful (though that might depend on the type of blaster) but lasguns fire faster moving energy projectiles.
Flesh Tearer is slowly melted down by thousands of blaster shots while the troopers suffer acceptable losses. That many Stormtroopers can't miss, especially against an unnamed character. A single Astartes was forced into cover by a well-placed multi laser, and had the weapon team been more patient, they would've pinned him down in the open and killed him.
Astartes: What do you have? Stormtrooper: Attrition Astartes: Huh, well I have the PERFECT REGIMENT FOR YOU TO MEET HANZ! The Death Korps: *HAPPY GAS MASK NOISES*
Na let me and the chem dogs have at them, my boys will bring back everything even if it’s bolted down. Give us some blood raven as back up and we will start stealing their stars.
The Stormtroopers from the Imperium aka "Tempestus Scions" would also be an interesting comparison, they're basically the Tier 1 Special Forces of the Imperium and are armed with Full Auto Laser Rifles that melt holes in power armor and have body armor that actually works.
+@alphagonomegarius5124+ Well everything from Guard Flak armor to Astartes Power Armor to even Thunderhawk Gunships use Ceramite; it all depends on how pure it is and how thick the plates are that effects protection levels. From Stormtrooper Carapace that bounces Armor Piercing rifle bullets, Astartes Power Armor that Autocannons struggle with to the Thunderhawks that are practically immune to melta weapons that infamous for literally liquefying tank armor.
The Scions would be like peak Mandalorians. SW stormtroopers would melt like butter. but for a more even fight you'd be fighting the inquisitors or death troopers.
No I'd argue the Tempesus Scions are tier two, because honestly a lot of guard regiments or at least individual squads are capable of doing special operations, it's honestly a matter of supplies more than skill in their case.
Krieg is the one planet that has oh-so-specific denials about how it definitely isn't vat-growing clone soldiers to pump out tens of millions of fully-equipped troops a year.
The SW space travel is much better. With better shield technology as well. Though they're still in the infancy of space combat. much more powerful stuff exists in starwars, but it's never used so it might as well not exist.
to be fair the over sized shoulder pauldrons can work in effect like a small shield kind of like the Oyoroi armor the samurai wore. like sure the designers probably didn't think of this at the time they made the space marines but there are real world examples of really big shoulder protection

Those poor souls have to relive the Primarch's last moments to earn their ebony armor, what did you do other than just not stop crusading (which Astartes should be doing in the first place!) to get yours!?
The correct retort to 'Attrition' would be snickering, then chuckling, then giggling, then booming laughter as the camera zooms farther and farther out until it shows a solid hemisphere of Guardsmen.
I choose to believe that the astartes wasn't cockpits cause he knew that an entire seige Corp would show up when the word attrition was breathed. He just figured he could deal with a platoon of stormtroopers on his own
Stormtrooper: I've brought the entire galactic force, millions strong of men and women fighting for our cause! Cadian guard: Listen pal, I've brought a single regiment, and it's three times as strong as your army, do you need me to bring the Krieg boys?
Let's say hypothetically that the storm troopers don't instantly get suicide charged and die like heretics if I'm not mistaken Krieg produces millions of troops extremely fast in contrast to the empires recruitment Krieg is taking that W from their cold heretical fingers
Yeah, the imperium asked for one regiment when they were reintegrated after their civil war and Krieg goes "We have twenty ready to go and several more on ze way" "Twenty guardsman?" "No, Twenty regiments" And then the ministorum collectively nutted hearing those numbers. In pure attrition against a force with no resistance to kinetic weapons and lasgun fire Krieg is winning via several shovels to the enemy's throats.
Casualties in an individual battle for Space Marines when you zoom out to the scale of the setting aren't terrible even if losing one marine is the cost of someone's house. Marines are going down to things that would kill stormtroopers 1000 fold, even worse with Primaris Marines who have 10 years of combat experience max compared to the possible 1000s their first gen marines have.
@@Nostroman_Praetor Losing one marine is about the same cost as losing an entire planet. If you're talking about Warhammer 40k. They're more rare than there are planets under Imperial rule. Losing a single one every year is an unnacceptably high attrition rate that really can't be replaced. At least if you wanted to talk about each marine having hundreds or possibly thousands of years of experience. though the later would all be dreadnoughts or chapter masters. The Primaris might have gotten hundreds of years of experience from the great crusade, and from their indom crusade with Guilliman by now. The only possible way the fluff makes sense is if the Marines mostly fight battles that are never mentioned in the lore. Super easy missions to level grind. But then they'd still be greenhorns when fighting the Eldar due to few veterans actually surviving such encounters.
Stormtrooper: We will beat you through attrition. Astartes: Son you do not know the meaning of the word. But do not worry the Astra Militarum will educate you.
And this is how the Empire was dragged into an unfortunate one sided slaughter of a crusade because one insubordinate hack of a storm trooper thought he could take on not only an *ADEPTUS ASTARTES SPACE MARINE* but also the Death Corps of Krieg which not only outnumber the Empire as a whole, they have a tendency to individually be far more brutal than Darth Sideous himself. All the while the fellow Adeptus and Primaris Astartes with their Chapter master instead of joining the battle, pulled up some chairs, and laughed as their battle brother ripped the Empire a new one.
I mean the pauldrons are there to do what they have literally been designed to do since the Middle Ages, which is be a massive shield against incoming attacks when the wearing is advancing. Take a look at plate armor, the left (usually) pauldron is huge with a lip to cover the neck.
About the armor difference in armor... one has weirdly oversized pauldrons and one can protect you from teddy bears with undersized bows, sticks, and stones. Oh, wait, that's the same one. I think I'm going to pick the armor that ISN'T overspecialized to protect you from energy weapons but still fails to do so regularly. You know... the one that augments your strength and endurance, enhances your aim, safeguards you against the dangers of vacuum exposure, and actually has a decent chance of preventing your death when you get shot! I guess flak armor would be better for comparison to Stormtrooper armor. Both mass-produced and good at what they're designed for, but put through a lot of random and over-the-top stuff the designers never expected.
Stomtrooper armor is also environmentally sealed and a variety of vision enhancing hardware to let them see through smoke and in the dark, as well as projecting a blaster's point of aim for the wearer. All so easily forgotten by the writers.
@@wasdwazd If only they had those functions on-screen, instead of clone troopers roasting Stormtrooper helmets and preferring to use them as thrown projectiles rather than wearing them... and their aim magically improving the moment the helmet comes off, no less. Stormtroopers are so rarely the elite soldiers they are supposed to be in Star Wars. Most often, probably too often, they're completely incompetent the moment anyone with plot armor appears in their way... unfortunate but it's the trend now. If memory serves, Star Wars has five classifications of spacesuit, and Stormtrooper armor was on the lower end, meaning it could briefly keep you alive in space, but maybe only provide a few minutes of air tops... but this comes from a Darth Vader suit reference book and therefore may not be completely accurate.
Stormtrooper: Attrition... *Spacemarine pulls out the Death Korps of Krieg* Me: 40K won instantly. Krieg Korps is the definition of "Battle of Attrition."

@@tuluppampam no they are more like a more standardized Marine Corp that sometimes act as military police on certain planets where more violent and better equipped criminals would be such as tatooine which was known for having some of the worst criminals frequently visit since it was the main hub to the jabba the hut mafia,
Or sometimes they would be placed in places of high rebellion resistance since they were more equipped to deal with terrorists using guerilla tactics than a police force would, it's not saying that the planets didn't have police and such but in the event of an attack by heavily armed terrorists I would rather have a marine Corp squadron fighting them then a group of police officers. So technically they aren't special forces but they aren't just regular soldiers either, they are more so the bridge between the two.

The pauldrons actually make sense on space marine armour. If the marine turns his body 45 degrees and braces his gun to fire from the hip, much of his upper body is then covered by thick ceramite plates. The massive pauldrons cover half of his torso while the exposed half is angled enough for rounds to ricochet off. To make himself even more well-protected, the marine can go on one knee and use his strong shin/knee plates to cover the relatively less protected hip area. In that pose, an enemy shooting at the marine front on with something like a bolter can only aim for the helmet, the forearms and hands holding the bolter, or whatever joints that are still exposed.
plus, and more importentely, the pauldron gives enough space for the serfs and servitor to put lavish decoration and symboles on them, big enough for being seen from the other side of the battlefield.
As it has been said, "let these degenerates know what is coming for them!"
Isn't it actually canon that space marine pauldrons are literally meant for exactly what you said? Like, they're so big specifically to add much more defence to more vulnerable areas and allow them to reposition themselves to block oncoming fire with these more heavily defended areas.
I know it's canon that melee weapons are so common because they genuinely need them for more heavily armored opponents, so heavier armor in certain areas would make sense to defend themselves enough to both reduce projectile damage and get in melee range to strike anything with similar armor levels
Tau also have these big oversized pauldrons on their armor.
@@deauthorsadeptus6920 on one side as well, as if you're shooting and it covers your head..... Like Astartes pauldrons

Even without plot armor, stormtrooper rifles are cqc, to the point where they don't even have good stocks, so their accuracy is sub par at best.
The lasgun they'd best compare to is the Voss used by Armageddon Steel Legion. But even then the Voss has a folding stock, and its full auto (tho only full auto).
But even then, Armageddon has much better morale, better close quarters training, (they even fight ORKS in melee sometimes. Hell they even have specialists at fighting orks in melee, I'm not kidding those exist), more firepower, more special and heavy weapons teams, and pretty much always come in a tank (they are MECHANIZED after all).

@@aquatic4760 Actually, the Ciaphas Cain series is an interesting take on the Imperium because it has sections where it shows that not all life in the 40k universe is hell, which makes sense. With the Imperium being so large, there definitely will be some areas that won't be touched directly by war, which a lot of the other books don't cover. We mostly see war zones where life is definitely hell but I suspect that it would be a skewed one sided view of an imperium of a million worlds.

Flesh Tearer is slowly melted down by thousands of blaster shots while the troopers suffer acceptable losses. That many Stormtroopers can't miss, especially against an unnamed character. A single Astartes was forced into cover by a well-placed multi laser, and had the weapon team been more patient, they would've pinned him down in the open and killed him.

+@alphagonomegarius5124+ Well everything from Guard Flak armor to Astartes Power Armor to even Thunderhawk Gunships use Ceramite; it all depends on how pure it is and how thick the plates are that effects protection levels.
From Stormtrooper Carapace that bounces Armor Piercing rifle bullets, Astartes Power Armor that Autocannons struggle with to the Thunderhawks that are practically immune to melta weapons that infamous for literally liquefying tank armor.

@@Nostroman_Praetor Losing one marine is about the same cost as losing an entire planet. If you're talking about Warhammer 40k. They're more rare than there are planets under Imperial rule. Losing a single one every year is an unnacceptably high attrition rate that really can't be replaced. At least if you wanted to talk about each marine having hundreds or possibly thousands of years of experience. though the later would all be dreadnoughts or chapter masters. The Primaris might have gotten hundreds of years of experience from the great crusade, and from their indom crusade with Guilliman by now. The only possible way the fluff makes sense is if the Marines mostly fight battles that are never mentioned in the lore. Super easy missions to level grind. But then they'd still be greenhorns when fighting the Eldar due to few veterans actually surviving such encounters.
"Attrition"
Death Corp - "We have been summoned by our favorite word"
"Attrition" - Stormtrooper
"Krieg alone is supplying over fifty million men per year" - Death Korps Officer.
Troopers: we have killed almost a hundred of you! Are you kriegsmen ready to give up?!
Kriegsmen: *laughs in gas mask*
Iirc doesn't krieg produce around 50 million troops a year?
@@matthewmac5787
That's almost 137,000 per day
Stormtrooper: We will beat you through attrition.
Astartes: Son you do not know the meaning of the word. But do not worry the Astra Militarum will educate you.
"Wait until he sees us" - Adeptus Custodes
Kreig heard the word attrition and couldn't help but get involved.
That last bit made me die from laughter.
"What do we got? ATTRITION!"
ok, the ending got me good!
Love this! Good work :D
The moment he said god emperor I immediately knew who this stormtrooper was talking to, immediately felt bad after
When Palpatine uses lightning a wimpy farm boy screams, when the Immortal does it the sand around his opponents melts into glass.
And this is how the Empire was dragged into an unfortunate one sided slaughter of a crusade because one insubordinate hack of a storm trooper thought he could take on not only an *ADEPTUS ASTARTES SPACE MARINE* but also the Death Corps of Krieg which not only outnumber the Empire as a whole, they have a tendency to individually be far more brutal than Darth Sideous himself. All the while the fellow Adeptus and Primaris Astartes with their Chapter master instead of joining the battle, pulled up some chairs, and laughed as their battle brother ripped the Empire a new one.
I mean the pauldrons are there to do what they have literally been designed to do since the Middle Ages, which is be a massive shield against incoming attacks when the wearing is advancing. Take a look at plate armor, the left (usually) pauldron is huge with a lip to cover the neck.

As always. Thanks for watching! Comments like this make this hobby all the more rewarding.
Kriegsman about to lasgun the trooper
Kriegsman Commissar "Nein, hol die Schaufel"
*Happy mask sounds as the whistle blows*
Stormtrooper : your emperor is a dead body
Emperium : ... well time to use the exterminatus on these heretics
Krieg Guardsmen: "Did someone say ATTRITION?"
About the armor difference in armor... one has weirdly oversized pauldrons and one can protect you from teddy bears with undersized bows, sticks, and stones.
Oh, wait, that's the same one.
I think I'm going to pick the armor that ISN'T overspecialized to protect you from energy weapons but still fails to do so regularly. You know... the one that augments your strength and endurance, enhances your aim, safeguards you against the dangers of vacuum exposure, and actually has a decent chance of preventing your death when you get shot!
I guess flak armor would be better for comparison to Stormtrooper armor. Both mass-produced and good at what they're designed for, but put through a lot of random and over-the-top stuff the designers never expected.
Stomtrooper armor is also environmentally sealed and a variety of vision enhancing hardware to let them see through smoke and in the dark, as well as projecting a blaster's point of aim for the wearer. All so easily forgotten by the writers.
@@wasdwazd If only they had those functions on-screen, instead of clone troopers roasting Stormtrooper helmets and preferring to use them as thrown projectiles rather than wearing them... and their aim magically improving the moment the helmet comes off, no less.
Stormtroopers are so rarely the elite soldiers they are supposed to be in Star Wars. Most often, probably too often, they're completely incompetent the moment anyone with plot armor appears in their way... unfortunate but it's the trend now.
If memory serves, Star Wars has five classifications of spacesuit, and Stormtrooper armor was on the lower end, meaning it could briefly keep you alive in space, but maybe only provide a few minutes of air tops... but this comes from a Darth Vader suit reference book and therefore may not be completely accurate.
the Death Korp weren't invited they just heard some one say Attrition
0:22 uhhhhhh might wanna talk to the 12th about that. They got wipped by space hippies
His upside down face looks like a happy face in the thumbnail
Death Korps of Krieg: **Sharpens trench shovels with malicious intent**
Hanz: "Did someone say 'Attrition?!' we accept that challenge!!"
Stormtrooper: Attrition...
*Spacemarine pulls out the Death Korps of Krieg*
Me: 40K won instantly. Krieg Korps is the definition of "Battle of Attrition."
We all hate plot armor it takes the fun out of anything and loses all suspension
0:32 This may not be canon anymore, but i read somewere that spacemarines use shoulder pouldrons to bounce other spacemarines bolter rounds. Just like in snooker.
"Sounds like you might have been conned."
I love how true this is, only because it happened by accident.
Kreg shows up like "Did someone say attention?"
Hmmm..storm troopers or space marines and kriegsman....I think we all know the answer to this.....
Laughs in shovels
@@gmailquinn (CLANG,CLANG)!!!!
"Attrition"
*Happy Krieger noises*
The Guardsmen are the equivalent of the Stormtrooper, honestly, with the exception that they can actually hit shit
Because they have the opposite problem of the Stormtroopers in that their shots either do no damage or kill nothing of importance.
Somebody once told me it could make big fu__ing holes in stuff and rip off limbs of normal humans
Imagine the interaction if the Space Marine meets an ICOG child soldier from the Xeelee Sequence novels.
Nah man an entire Space Marine legion will instantly slice like butter by a simple laser rifle from one ICOG child soldier
@@longwlenguyen4214
Added note.
I am pretty sure that ICOG will see the Space Marines as abominations.
@@jasoethesentienteyeshapedg4847 I agree since the Druz Doctrine banned post-humans and the Space Marines are closest thing to post-humans
"Can I bolt those pieces on a truck?"
-my brain everytime I see those shoulder pieces
The Kriegers heard attrition and they just sprouted from ground like Orks.
