A battalion which recruits from the North and North east of Scotland, and many of the men I served with were from farming/rural backgrounds, and were some of the best soldiers I ever knew.
I recall that Guilliman wanted to retire to a farm before the Horus Heresy occurred. Though I think he would be proud of one his sons living a peaceful life.
Yeah. Guilliman wanted to become a wine maker and live out the rest of his days on a vineyard once the Great cusade was done. Instead he wakes up thousands of years into the future from a coma. And he's growing gray hair from the stress of keeping his dead dad's Imperium together Edit: my bad. I got him mixed up with Ahriman. He wanted to be a wine maker. Guilliman was busy teaching his sons bureaucracy so they could run admin jobs post crusade. I suppose once he was done he planned on retiring to a nice, quiet farm off on some agri world. While his sons could run the Imperium in his stead. Sounds like a nice retirement plan ngl. Too bad things worked out the way they did.

And like a lot of processes, if you have a good feel for the process, you can figure out what parts aren't actually necessary and skip to the important bits. (The machine spirit "cooperates")
I made a comment similar to this on another 40k video about machine spirits: it seems to me that machine spirits may start out as nothing more than "please God let it work" before turning it on. But belief is everything in 40k. Believing in machine spirits, praying to them, performing rituals to appease them, this "evolved" the machine spirits from mere computer programs (or just nothing) into, essentially, warp entities that have some level of intelligence and/or will. Instead of just requiring proper maintenance, some actually DO require the incense and prayers or a perfectly functional machine will not start because the machine spirit refuses to cooperate.
I think you're confused mate... the one to blame for all of it is Fuckerebus... But the rest is quality lore, true. Ahriman was already the patron of several acres of vineyards somewhere on Prospero, and it was considered of great quality, even (that's just an example).

It kinda annoys me how a lot of modern Astartes think of normal people as less than objects, when in fact one of the big things back when the emperor walked was how they should be a BASTION OF Hope, humans first and foremost.
@@kingcrafteroderderfahradtu7331 Somewhat, but not every single Legion, and most of the first companies saved civilians, and most primarchs also tried to save people.
To be honest, waking up to be a quiet farmer on a peaceful world would be a hell of a better fate for any Astartes. I cant remember but wasnt there a short story where the Dark Angels send a squad to some world to find a Fallen, and they basically find him without armor or weapons, living a quiet life and just wanting to be alone? Of course theyre Dark Angels, so the idea of leaving any Fallen unkilled is anathema to them. Even one that forsook being an astartes and has no interest in 'being disruptive'.
It was also a fan story, but yes you pretty much got all the beats down. He was pretty much a father, and had a village at his side, but yep, DA’s being who they are, probably killed him. Dont remember if the story finished on them offing him or if its left ambiguous
@@Kalebfenoir or my favourite interpretation of the story, his pitchfork was actually made with the metal of his recycled equipment and he uses it to off the Da.
ikr imagine, a veteran space marine that not only managed to killed a Screamer but also managed to bond with humans by his own will. But once again, the universe of Warhammer cannot give you that small light of hope.
@lukeBryen2thunder warriors did become astartes in a few cases it comes up but it’s also a tad weird and contradictory… Best to just blame alpharius and his legion for these inconsistencies as the meme goes.
You just know, by the end of that week, that ultramarine has worked out all the logistics, crop yield, how much more crop they could grow and how much better they could do it....🤣
Since this 40k, i see them giving him a grave fit for a king, him placed on a throne with his armor on. Sitting in a temple built to revere both him and the emperor
He just might understand Big E more than anyone else after his deserved new life, especially being willing to sacrifice it to protect those he treasured and that treasured him. Either way, it beats being stuck on a golden toilet for millenia
Not just standard armour either, he was in terminator armour. The locals "somehow removing" part would need a blowtorch and a tractor and even then it's likely to break the tractor. The astarties though even without his memory could remove it with a thought, remember his mind is litterally linked to his armour, what he thinks it does, so if he thought about it letting him out, it would.
A glimpse of a normal and fulfilling life is more than most Astartes ever get. I still remember that story of the Black Templar dreadnought remembering playing with his father on a swing when he was a kid and begging the Emperor to forgive him for his weakness when he wonders for a moment how his life could have been if he had never become a space marine.
Farming is quite therapeutic for former soldiers. My grandfather was in Vietnam. He saw horrific shit. He enjoys filling his time by tending to his garden and his dogs.
Locally we have a large garden that veterans come and help tender. My father in law used to have small groups of men from his old regiment come fish his trout loch for free.
Those would be romans or spartans. BUT, pretty sure some would choose farming as a retiring job should they be allowed to do so, in the first place. Hell, as I commented above, some already had side-gigs before the Heresy even began, like the Thousand Sons.
Supposedly the Astartes were supposed to be retired, de-militarized (combat implants removed) and either given their own worlds to govern, or just be allowed to go live whatever life they wanted. HH era Ultramarines knew that was supposed to happen cuz thats what Guilliman had promised them, presumably on behalf of the emperor.
@lukeBryen2regardless of all the downsides they had the betrayal towards the Thunder Warriors was a kinda stupid waste, the Emperor was about to start the greatest conquest maybe ever and he could not wait to maybe just a bit more and use them en masse at the first battlefield available? Make them do something useful one last time and let them die with honor fulfilling their role and it's not like, at the time, all the Legions without their primarchs were much better than the Thunder Warriors, IIRC, Fulgrim's was almost fated to extinction due rampant mutation and the precursor of the Blood Angels without Sanguinius were rabid dogs almost like current World Eaters; I think the worst part of it was that it set a precedent even if was not widely known event, is no surprise then that so many Space Marines sided with Horus seeing a future in which the power would be given to normal humans and they would become tools without purpose destined to fade or die in suspicious glorious last stands like the Thunder Warriors they replaced.
So what you're saying is, that astartes would actually reintegrate into society pretty darn well if they didn't need to fight anymore. Kinda sad, but also neat.
Depends on the premogenitor legion. Loyalists, except for Space Wolves, Blood Angels, and Iron Hands, yes. The Iron Hands are just about as aweful as any Chaos Legion (still meed more lore). Blood Angels have the Red Thirdt and Black Rage, and the Space Wolves have the Wolfen. As for the Chaos Legions, the Iron Warriors are the only ones who'd function well post heresy among civilians. Perturabo was the reason that they where as brutal as they were. Even then, he may have done all that because he truly belived it was the only way to defeat Chaos quickly.

Tbf, the Astartes didn't have a clean win. Dude had to sacrifice himself to stop it. I still say the 'nids won that. One Carnifex in exchange for an Astartes that can give a Carnifex a run for its money? Worth it.
@@thebighurt2495 Yeah, but watching a screamer killer tear through 7 astartes in the official 10e trailer was sick. They had to use dreadnaught flamers and missiles to stop it or it would've been 8 marines. Granted, I don't know the exact scaling between a terminator and a marine.
I love when they humanize spacemarines. Their badassery is dope, but I love the stories Where they're just humans. I kinda wish we had a book about Ahriman and his vineyard.
The horus heresy book Master of Mankind includes background of the emperor as he constantly speaks to a custodes and even shows him glimpaes of big Es childhood.
This shows that space marines are all still human at heart, it makes me wonder what the driving force is that makes them feel distant from other humans, perhaps the necessary sacrifices of war
Am I the only one who remembered the fan comic where a Fallen becomes a farmer and adopts some kids only for the Dark Angels to find him and do what Dark Angels do to the Fallen pre-Lion's return? The one Chaotic Voices did a really nice dub of?
I love these kinds of stories. It's why I wish there were more books covering the Primarchs upbringing on the worlds they landed on. I know Star Wars Clone Wars had a clone trooper quit war and become farmer to.

Ultramarine that's why. Imagine it was a Blood angel and he sees two siblings are fighting, suddenly memories of Horus and Sangy floods in. The last thing villagers hear, HOORUUUUS 👀
So, Ultramarines, champions of management, forgot to pick up a guy in termie armor from a battlefield. Hm? He likely had vital signs, but they abandoned not only him but even the armor
Plot twist: he didnt have amnesia. He just felt he had a debt to the farmers and rolled with it. Ended up loving his new life and the people he lived with.
You know where this trope comes from? Retired soldier on farm and then he fights a foe so bad he dies or gets wounded. Roman times, yeah. When you where marching and conquering for Rome you will get land and slaves to work that land and after you retire Rome can still call on you. Like Heros Journey its old af
This was the true essence of an Astartis. A moment showing the true defender of humanity. While his sacrifice may not have been as important in the grand scheme of things as his brothers, for him, for the people, on that world, on that moment that sacrifice meant everything. That sacrifice WAS everything. And in his final moments there was no fear, no pride, no sorrow, just gratitude for the people who gave him, a stranger, a home and kindness and him being able to repay them. The fallen shell always be remembered as the Emperor's finest.
I think it’s cool that a space marine that gets knocked out and then is brought back with people with a lot of empathy turns empathetic and friendly. It is not just a duty-bound robot.
This story is a lovely example of my favorite saying ever about 40k. Warhammer 40k is Grimdark, from the aesthetics to the lore and the ever present theme of "there is only war," but the stories told in the setting don't have to be.

Tbf, the Astartes didn't have a clean win. Dude had to sacrifice himself to stop it. I still say the 'nids won that. One Carnifex in exchange for an Astartes that can give a Carnifex a run for its money? Worth it.
@@thebighurt2495also, probably losing one of the few Terminator armor from the chapter. this marine here was a veteran.
@@thebighurt2495
Yeah, but watching a screamer killer tear through 7 astartes in the official 10e trailer was sick. They had to use dreadnaught flamers and missiles to stop it or it would've been 8 marines. Granted, I don't know the exact scaling between a terminator and a marine.
@xenit7837 Tbf, it also depends on the Marine. Some dudes are just Built Different (see: Sigismund, Dante, Logan Grimmar).
I love when they humanize spacemarines. Their badassery is dope, but I love the stories
Where they're just humans. I kinda wish we had a book about Ahriman and his vineyard.
@lukeBryen2 true. Or some heartfelt moments between the BigE and the Primarchs. Maybe a book about him and Horus during the great crusade.
The horus heresy book Master of Mankind includes background of the emperor as he constantly speaks to a custodes and even shows him glimpaes of big Es childhood.
This shows that space marines are all still human at heart, it makes me wonder what the driving force is that makes them feel distant from other humans, perhaps the necessary sacrifices of war
I love Space Marines who care for people
Am I the only one who remembered the fan comic where a Fallen becomes a farmer and adopts some kids only for the Dark Angels to find him and do what Dark Angels do to the Fallen pre-Lion's return? The one Chaotic Voices did a really nice dub of?
By chance have a link to it?
@@corneal35 Sorry it took so long, I hope it works. ua-cam.com/video/KOxh36e1i5k/v-deo.html
I love these kinds of stories. It's why I wish there were more books covering the Primarchs upbringing on the worlds they landed on.
I know Star Wars Clone Wars had a clone trooper quit war and become farmer to.
Yeah the one that married the Twi’lek and had kids, can’t remember his name for the life of me though it’s been a little while since I watched TCW
@@FueganTheAnnihilatorThat was a wonderful episode... :)
@@TFZ. indeed, and if I remember correctly they actually brought him back for an episode of The Bad Batch
@FueganTheAnnihilator They DID! I was really happy they escaped! (Now if only we could have some more official happy endings for characters here in 40k...)
@@FueganTheAnnihilatorhis name was Cut iirc
This sounds like the best life he could've had
Wait I swear I've seen this in a Clone Wars episode :d
He didn't lose his memory. That guy deserted.
@@jakkuhl6223 No no, not Cut Lawquane, I meant Gregor. Granted, Gregor wasn't treated so nicely by the folks so i guess this comparison wasn't very good haha.
Star Man: “I’M READY! HOW BOUT YOU!?”
NO it can't end that way! 😢
He had basically the best end a space marine could have: a man who loved , and was loved by his people.
"I don't remember much. But violence is about to become VERY familiar."
"To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own"
- the Tyranids
Seriously, the Tyranids are only what they are now by following this mentality after arriving in the galaxy.
Reminds me of that one star wars commander Gregor
Space marine with a Mohawk goes hard
Gotta love how it takes full blown amnesia to make some space marine factions value the common man.
I wonder if he would have survived if he could have gotten some of the space for me to change their ways like to actually value their ordinary people's lives like the salamanders do
Ultramarine that's why. Imagine it was a Blood angel and he sees two siblings are fighting, suddenly memories of Horus and Sangy floods in. The last thing villagers hear, HOORUUUUS 👀
A Flesh Tearer just waking up and existing. 😬
The perfect examples that these weapons of war are still truly human.
How can any life be better spent than for the sake of genuine love?
Wow the Warhammer 40k franchise has everything even a full fledged isekai trope in the setting🤯
Not really an isekai if it's still the same universe.
Now the _Grey Knight_ isekai'd into Fantasy on the other hand...
So, a Terminator can Tank direct hits with AT ammo, but not a drop...
It was the last straw. In the story he took a lot of damage and took a direct hit from a bio plasma cannon witch melted a good chunk of his armor off.
This is one of my favorite stories now
That space marine deserves a full story and a happy ending
So, Ultramarines, champions of management, forgot to pick up a guy in termie armor from a battlefield. Hm?
He likely had vital signs, but they abandoned not only him but even the armor
Why it should've been Salamanders or a Raven Guard Marine doing one of their dark, solo, sojourns.
This is just the average salamander experience
It’s pretty violent and depressing when you realize that there’s never just one tyranid on a planet. Invasion time baby
With how this universe is, these types of stories hit so much harder.
What an absolute chad of a man.
See, Space Marines don't have to have that holier than thou attitude. That's nice stuff
Well, I didn't plan to start my day with tears but here we are
The fact one marine effectively got a draw with a screamer killer is metal.
Dude got to live out what his gene father wanted all along, Guilliman weeps 😢
Farmers: Hey can you kill this thing for us
The space marine: Heck yeah I will
The most wholesome story you'll find in this grim dark universe.
"I'm only human, after all"
This is surprisingly wholesome for warhammer.
He showed courage and honour until the end
I can't help but feel Guilliman would be truly proud of his son. Both for living a simple life but also for never forgetting who he is at his core.
I love all these small scope stories in big science fiction universes ❤
Plot twist: he didnt have amnesia. He just felt he had a debt to the farmers and rolled with it. Ended up loving his new life and the people he lived with.
I love hearing stories of Astartes and Primarchs interacting with regular people
The Blood Ravens who transported the Tyrranid there:
"Aaaand free terminator armor... just in time."
I was fully expecting the inquisition to send something to destroy the settlement
You know where this trope comes from? Retired soldier on farm and then he fights a foe so bad he dies or gets wounded.
Roman times, yeah. When you where marching and conquering for Rome you will get land and slaves to work that land and after you retire Rome can still call on you.
Like Heros Journey its old af
The surprising part is that jumping off a cliff can kill a space marine
This was the true essence of an Astartis. A moment showing the true defender of humanity. While his sacrifice may not have been as important in the grand scheme of things as his brothers, for him, for the people, on that world, on that moment that sacrifice meant everything. That sacrifice WAS everything. And in his final moments there was no fear, no pride, no sorrow, just gratitude for the people who gave him, a stranger, a home and kindness and him being able to repay them. The fallen shell always be remembered as the Emperor's finest.
I think it’s cool that a space marine that gets knocked out and then is brought back with people with a lot of empathy turns empathetic and friendly. It is not just a duty-bound robot.
Tbh, this would probably be among the best worlds to live on in 40K.
Where there's 1 tyranid, there's surely as lot more lurking
~there's a starman working in the barn
~his rage towards that Screamer would rival that of Kharn
Now that is a Space Marine that truly embodies what it means to be his angel
This story is a lovely example of my favorite saying ever about 40k. Warhammer 40k is Grimdark, from the aesthetics to the lore and the ever present theme of "there is only war," but the stories told in the setting don't have to be.
The fact that the one space marine took out the screamer killer is alone quite impressive.
First dead named space marine in history
Probably one of the few space marines to feel true happiness
