@Craiberk no This was a primaris, not a gray knight. And the Inquisition only does that on very rare occasions with gray knights. Most of the time the human population at the time of the invasion has died of old age and generations have passed and passed before Inquisition investigations can even begin. The memories of the wars passing into legends proved only by crumbling ruins and forgotten bones.
@Craiberk those are Commissars, not Inquisitors. Inquisitors are very rare on the galactic scale, only being present along side special crusading forces as an attachment and shadow command structure. If ever single squad of guardsmen had an attached inquisitor, the entire imperium would have been exicuted by exterminatus ages ago. Even Commissars are not meant to root out corruption, but rather are ment to prevent men from fleeing, by shooting cowards.
The guardsmen would probably be executed if he lived through his wounds under suspicion that he has been tainted by chaos. And neither he nor you would want to spread that taint would you?
@Craiberk That would mean that every single guardsman that has fought against chaos marines or even just cultists would be executed just in case, for example all the population of cadia would have been executed docens of times through history. In reality that only happens in extreme occasions when the taint is evident or, when they see grey knights because they are supposed to be a secret (something really stupid in my opinion, i mean, the majority of citizens couldnt even tell the difference between a grey knight and a normal astartes, just tell them they are another chapter and move on).
Imperial guardsman Relax comrade, for when the Imperial Guard come ride in with a Baneblade, thou shall laugh at the enemy with all the fury and anger the Emperor himself has to offer. (Thank you for the likes, the Emperor protects)
I remember the day in a apoc game where a squad of guardsmen was annihilated except 1, he said fuck it and took a shot at reaver titan.... it went critical and nuked a chunk of the board... The weak sack of flesh went out in a blaze of glory.
We are just guardsmen though we are literally killed by our officers to increase morale and we fight with over glorified flashlights. 100 of us is not worth a single space marine we are mere meat shields do not pity us
3:41 I realized why this scene is so powerful. The Primaris knew each Guardsmen personally... He knew their jobs, their age, their stories. He knew the Factory Worker, he knew the Farmer, the Storekeeper, the Father, the Brother and the Son... He had spent time talking to them, knowing them... ...And he only arrived in time to save just one of them from the Chaos Marine. This actually shows that his 'Breaking speech' to the Chaos Marine was him making a Mockery of the Chaos Marine, just like the Marine had made a Mockery of the Guardsmen. It's also why he snappishly asked "What's your Excuse, _Monster?"_ at the end. He notably spits out the Word "Monster" like it was the most foulest of Poisons. With the added context, it basically shows he is no longer going to drag out shaming the one that killed _his_ Guardsmen. I mean, the Primaris could have just _Shot_ the Chaos Marine from behind, but because he was likely downright enraged by what he had seen him do to _His_ Guardsmen, the Primaris decided to Torture the Chaos Marine by beating him to within an Inch of his life before finishing him off.
Quite possible. Ultramarines mingle with the general population, as directed by Guilliman himself who didn't want them to lose their humanity. They keep in touch with their families in Macragge and visit them when they return to the fortress-monastery between deployments. They treat their unaugmented allies as much as equals as an Astartes is capable of. They're not as sentimental as the Salamanders, but they have a lot of empathy for the common man.
I am one man, But I stand among many. I may fall, But ten thousand will take my place. My enemies are legion, But I am unafraid. I am an Imperial Guardsman, I am the Hammer of the Emperor, And I. WILL. NOT. YIELD!
" The hearts of men has stood united, against a galaxy that despises them for no reason safe that they have the audacity not to lay down and die." great line in this film :)
Such a grand speech is added considerable weight when you realize it is coming from a Primaris Marine. Who would not even be standing there had the "pitiable" Guardsman not held that line for 10,000 years as he slept.
Do not pity the guardsman, for he knows his way and will eventually reach his emperor. Rather pity the miserable chaos spawn, for they go not unto their fathers but to the gullet of those same ruinous powers they worship in life. Pity not the guardsman, for we will find our way to our fathers on our own. You however monster, I can feel nothing but pity for. When I die I go the my emperors side and await the day I may beof use once more. You meanwhile, all you have to look forward to is the same damnation which you have spawned and for that and that alone creature of chaos, I pity you.
Scrambled Egg Special clearly hasn't experienced enough ecclesiarchy sermons to prevent uttering such heretical words. Hate the xenos, and suffer not a mutant to live!
Solus Aldrain how is that heretical as what he loves is mankind and the Xenos what nothing more then to wipe us out but he will not stand and let that happen
I like the idea that a space marine is saying this instead of a guardsman because if a guardsman said it would sound more arrogant than heroic. Also it shows that some space marines, the powerful super soldiers , acknowledge the importance and the sacrifice of the imperial guards who are far "inferior" to them.
Qball you say inferior I say superior because possibly with the exception of the salamanders the space marines are stripped of everything that makes them human i.e. Their humanity and emotions, a space marine marches into battle never once contemplating the idea that he and his battle brothers might lose while a guardsmen does and he knows that if he does then his loved ones will suffer and that thought makes him all the more determined to win, as a famous English bard once said "courage is not the absence of fear but merely acting inspite of it"
@@dionwoollaston5717 I don't actually consider the guardsman inferior which is why I included quotations around the word. I consider the guardsman to be far superior to the space marines in terms of heart and humanity. I was just using the word to say why I consider it better for a space marine to be saying it. To be honest I completely agreed with everything your saying including the exception about the salamanders. Great comment by the way. I also appreciate your maturity since many people could have responded in a harsher way.
Qball your welcome people seem to forget or largely overlook the imperial guard in favor of the marines, even though the guardsmen contribute just as much if not more to the safe guarding of humanity, because while the marines do retake planets from their enemies it's the guardsmen and PDF who ensure that they have a planet and a foothold to take back, for example it's not a planet full of space marines sitting at the entrance to the eye of terror it's the guardsmen who are preventing the heretics from overrunning the imperium
@@dionwoollaston5717 Well said and too true. This is why I mostly favor chapters like the lamenters of the salamanders that give a damn about the people they are protecting. This is also why Lorgar Grimnar the Old Wolf is such a good guy. He openly defends the weak a rarity for space wolves. Also the planet fell before the guard.
Qball that it did but it didn't fall to mere chaos marines and guardsmen, no it took a Death Star sized space station to finally accomplish what had taken ten thousand years to do
For ten thousand years your black crusades have been pushed back, beaten down by, made a mockery of by weak sacks of flesh with cheap weapons and disposable equipment,too good.
"Where I fall, ten more shall take my place! And one hundred each of them! So strike me down! I am the harbinger!" -Patron Saint of the Guard, Ollanius Pius TO WARMASTER HORUS HIMSELF
That moment when Mankind thought, "You know what, thanks for help, Emperor, we appreciate what you've done very much, but we don't need the Astartes to save us from everything anymore, *grabs a Lasgun* We'll do it ourselves."
A man, staring down a son of the god emperor of man that is powered by chaos. Wearing armour comparable to sheet steel and weilding a gun that could only compare to a lazer pointer against such a foe, and yet not only does he dare stand, but to yell against his foe who is like a god compared to him, and damn was he right, for the day he died, the guardsmen numbers swelled until no foe could ever truly reach the emperor of man EVER AGAIN
I wrote the original text for this on /tg/ back in 2010, maybe 2011. Never thought people with 500x my talent would make an animation for it. These guys should have 10,000,000 views.
As a fellow /tg/ guy who has written things that went a lot further than he thought they would (google Drake McDougal) my hat's off to you sir. I wish I had written this. Absolutely captures the essence of "humanity fuck yeah," the real essence of it, sans the cringe, with all the heart. Godspeed sir.
Amazing work /tg/ bro. Your text is the one I always fall back on when describing IG (my favourite faction) it just captures the essence of normal humans fighting till the bitter end against unimaginable horror.
A simple man with generic equipment, fighting monsters, augmented soldiers, old and new gods, ancient soulless races, witches and sorcerers, yet their will has never faltered.
Despite the fact, most factions have advanced technology, better armor, and equipment, and while after the dark age of technology ended, and humanity ended up with Lasguns, but didn't use any other advanced weaponry, they still have the spirit and faith to continue pushing, regardless what enemy's awaits them. Which is why the Imperial guardsmen are my favorite, because it isn't their equipment that keeps them going its their heart.
@@vothbetilia4862 how is that not true, trillions of them die daily if Im correct, it would be impossible for species to survive and still grow in numbers without doing stuff more than average
Dying Guardsman: “Thank The Emperor, A Space Marine is here to purge this chaos filth.” Space Marine: *Give a long and dramatic backhand compliment about the guardsman.* Dying Guardsman: “I think I’d rather be dead”
Erm, he was lecturing the Chaos Marine as he beat the shit out of him. As soon as he made his presence known, the Alpha legionary ignored the Guardsman and sprinted toward a Primaris Lieutenant, and promptly got battered. It was not a backhanded compliment. He was mocking the Chaos fool with his own words, by pointing out that the "weak sack of flesh with useless equipment" had held off the horror for 10,000 years. I would be chuffed to hear a literal Angel singing my praises as he beat the Monster that was going to kill me to death, while casually berating him as he does so.
@@notyetdeleted6319 Erm, he was literally fighting a Chaos Marine. If he stops to administer aid (he wouldn't, he isn't an Apothecary, and all his healing abilities are internal anyway), the Chaos Marine kills them both.

Two things I love about this SFM 1. Tells us to respect the Imperial Guardsmen and the Astra Militarium 2. I like the way the Chaos Space Marine didn’t notice the bolt pistol he picked up didn’t even have a magazine.
Maybe the bolter already has a round in its chamber ready to fire and that's why at the end there's only one shot normally a space marine would atleast shoot 5 or 6 rounds into that sucker since most magazine fed guns have can have a bullet in its chamber without the magazine loaded in Yes I'm late
Chaos Warrior : you are weak, guardsmen. Guardsmen : maybe, but there are hundreds of lasguns, tens of basilisks and a a few baneblades, firing at you at the same time. Chaos Warrior : oh shit.
Do you think the chaos space marine was questioning himself and his choices before he got his head shot so it didn't resemble a head because bolters are like mini RPG's?
Right us guardsmen are finally get the love that we deserve and i am just rolling in my bane blade killing Heretics I think I may have accidentally turn a civilian into a pancake
And THIS is why I think Guardsmen are the most balls-to-the-wall badass soldiers in the Imperium. BECAUSE they're weak. BECAUSE they're poorly equipped and scared shitless. BECAUSE they are fighting enemies who should by all rights wash over them like the sea over a sandcastle. "And he has held the line for ten thousand years!"
That is a boast few can say with honesty. To have held the line until the very ground below your feet burned away. To have held the ground till there was no ground to hold. God I love the Guard.
the guardsman: "thanks for the help, but could you spare the speech and just finish the freak off??...i've been kept company by corpses for three days and i've got a case of trenchfoot that would make nurgle squirm.."
All this silly comments about what guardsman could do in response to CSM speech are simply pointless. It's not about a contemporary internet user with a whole library of memes and zany jokes. It's about a real and mature man who stands for something and who has done his best he coud, and he's now laying on the ground wounded and paralyzed by the pain. He doesn't have to say or do antything right now. He did his job. His deeds defend him. His Courage and Defiance.
I just LOVE that part at the end. The moment you see the face of that Chaos Marine as he's about to die, he just looks genuinely broken. Like the realization seeped in after the Ultramarine said his piece and he realized that, for all his talk, the Guardsmen he mocked and belittled were stronger than he would ever be.
“When I fall, the Emperor weeps for me and for my brothers who fall beside me. Our plight is remembered and our sacrifice honored for as long as the Imperium stands. Can you say the same?”
They cannot so they fight for insignificant powers were as we fight for the emperor the light in the galaxy the one who makes all right and he shall grant us the strength to defeat the heretic he shall grant us the strength to overcome the beast for we are the imperial guard and we will not yield
I like to think that the emperor sheds a tear for the guardsmen when thay die I also like to think that he fights to protect the souls of the guard and the rest of the people of his imperium in the warp from the 4 glorified high school bully’s in there
@@steveisthecommissar4013 It is part of kreigan belief, that when we die, we join the Empeor and wait for his return, and for those select few, join at the fort that protects all the souls of those that fell in the empeors name, from the foul attempts of chaos to taint the new home of our brothers and sisters.
"They have the audacity not to lay down and die." Humanity irl and 40k and anything else in one line. In fact most of what the Primaris Marine says is true about the grunts of Science fiction. But the warhammer guardsmen are the unnamed soldiers who hold the line against all evils, weather it be the alien, the mutant, or the traitor. The emperor protects!
Ian Goff they are scared shitless of the horrors charging their lines, but they are even more scared of what will happen to their loved ones should they flee. Many of the guardsmen aren't being sent to some emperor forsaken hell hole, many such as the cadians are fighting on the very planet of their birth
@@dionwoollaston5717 The cadians are not fighting on their own birth world. One it's gone but 2 they are plenty of the deployed elsewhere before then and now you can't no longer deployed them to Cadia.
@@bryan0x05 I always thought that most cadian regiments weren't born there but were trained and outfitted like them to the point they can be mistaken for being cadian born
Those aren't Cadian regiments, those are Cadian wannabes because actual Cadian regiments have 20% larger adamantium balls than the standard issue IG, given their planet was kind of at the frontlines against chaos (The planet broke before the guard did) But yeah, definitely can't be stationed at Cadia now.
**A tactically competent guardsman sentry views the scene from a distance** *Guardsman 1:* "Oh, great. Fuuuucking great. At this rate I might actually die from facepalming..." *Guardsman 2:* "Huh?" *Guardsman 1:* "The damn Astartes on both sides are babbling their long-ass monologues while standing out in the open in the middle of live combat." *Guardsman 2:* "What? _Again?"_ *Guardsman 1:* "Again." *Guardsman 2:* "But...

It is funny, that the imperial guard has enough firepower to conquour a sector while a chapter of space Marines have enough to take a subsector. And that ballasiks and baneblades are never too far from a squad of guardmens. Killing guardmens is like kicking a puppy, when its owner finds out there will be hell to pay
@@jasonburke1671 the thing is that doesn't happen as often as guardsmen conquering sectors. And if said armies had an all out war. I'm 90% sure the guard would wipe the floor with the space marines. One has to remember that the limiting factor for the guard is slow transportation. On the ground they are practically unstoppable.
@@maverick5640 that could also be because the Codex Astartes absolutly decimated their fighting capability. Imagine for a minute you took an army of Guardsman against pre-heresy Astartes legions. For an even better comparison, lets compare one army of Death Korps Krieg soldiers to a legion of Iron Warriors. Who do you think is coming out on top there?
I can imagine the Guardsman’s thoughts when the Ultramarine was saving him and complimenting him. “Oh, you...” “You have IMPECCABLE timing!” “Wow. One of Roboute’s chosen!”
This is why the Imperial Guard can sometimes be the most badass group in 40k since they're basically farmer Joe with an over glorified laser pointer fighting shit strait from hell
Ive read that the emperor actualy cares about everyone and sheds a single tiny tear whenever a guardsmen or any of his servants die in combat with some big heroes getting full tears and he weeps during great wars his custodes collect these tears
There are two types of Marines the talkers and the doers. Besides the Primaris did not save the Guardsman the Inquistion killed him after he got back to base.
any guardsman who sees or fights chaos marines in subject to execution unless he lies or a marine chaplain vouches for him in the way that he is pure of heart
Space Marine Optimus gives Chaos Marine verbal beatdown. -Pictured 41st millennium. Now that I know more about the series -pictured M41, on a former hive world.
Chaos Worshipers fight for their own personal gain. Those of the Imperium that defy them fight for the sake of those beside them and for those that can't.
Examples of good commissars are Ibram Gaunt, Ciaphas Cain and Sebastian Yarrick. And the Commissar Lord who punched a Daemon Prince in the face in DoWII Retribution.
For each Guardsman that may fall to the forces of Chaos, thousands more shall rise to take their place. For ten thousand years they have held the line against the most vile the Universe may offer. For even if the planet may break, the Guardsman of the Imperium shall hold the line for ten thousand more years.
@@Southern_Crusader salamander: "yo lets Swap armors and troll the traitors." Ultramarine: "Lemme check the Codex astartes First. Well it doesnt say anything about it so.... LETS DO THIS"
Guardsmen truly are the strongest in the galaxy, even more than the space marine, for even they hide behind thick plates of ceramite. Guardsmen charge into battle knowing they will never prevail in hand-to-hand combat. Yet they still do it, for they are the mightiest warriors, the deadliest warriors... Mere, mortal men.
Synovialpig 998 except for the ogryn who have been known to engage in hand to hand combat and are in fact possibly one of the only imperial guard regiments to do so, and before anyone brings up the catacan jungle fighters using a blade is not the same as using your bare hands
With all the channels dropping their versions of this exchange lately, I wanted to come back and watch this one. It has the best music and the best vocal pacing.
They fight with no hope, no chance of winning, no proper equipment, no adequate training to combat the enemy of the imperium yet they have the courage necessary to beat an enemy Most badass Kind in Warhammer, The Guardsmen...
But the guardsmen does have training that's why they can be given a wide variety of weapons besides the lasguns such as the plasma rifle, melta guns, flamers and many more

Truly the lowly guardsman is the bravest of beings in the gallaxy, for they have no augmentation, no centuries of victories behind them, no giant stature nore gentic mutations nor blessings from unholy gods, their muscles are weak, their reflexes dull, their bodies frail, their minds made of clay easily molded or broken and yet they stand before the never ending tides of enemies who have every bit of that and more with not but the chippest and easiest of guns to produce a sharpened piece of steel for fangs and what ever scraps of iron can be spared for armor to protect them from eldritch backed super weapons and armor, they die in forgotten millions, their names blown away with the dust of their bones, and still they do not move out of the way for to take one step back brings a fate far worse then death uppon their loved ones!

@Jakub Bończak while this is true, however, within the lore there was an event known as the Third War of Armageddon. And Games Workshop, the people who made Warhammer, held an irl Warhammer 40k tournament to decide the fate of the planet. Different countries were picked to defend the different Hives on Armageddon and America was picked to defend Hive Helsreach. Yes *that* Helsreach, one of the most amazing stories I've ever had the privilege of reading.
Couldn't but feel that through this whole thing the Guardsman is like "some help? Bleeding quite a lot here. It's nice, being monologued at, but a, maybe a bandaid? Strip of cloth? Anything?"
Imagine if the space marine that was defending the guardsmen was a salamander. Amazing video it makes me shed a tear evertime he says (For 10000 years he has held the line)
God as my witness, I love the Space Marine's speech! "No super soldier, no immortal warrior...a mere man!" What better way to describe a true hero than a mere human facing every challenge that comes their way and not giving up until it is overcome? God bless every hero that ever lived in service to their fellow man, be they soldiers, doctors, policemen, firefighters, paramedics, counselors, parents, teachers, preachers, or those who give what little they can out of the goodness of their own hearts. Mere humans all and yet so much greater for that fact alone. Heroes of the day, legends forever!
By the Emperor!!! That was truly amazing on how a Black Legion member and a Primaris veteran sergeant shared their pov on the guardsmen. Primaris veteran seargent: "What's your excuse, monster?" Even daemonic-enhanced superhuman physiology can't resist that burn.
I get the distinct feeling that the Guardsman who didn’t die was the one who pulled the trigger, because that was not the sound of a Boltor being fired.
@@finnishfatman Bolters make roaring sounds when they fire followed by the whistling and explosion of the bolter round exploding against its target. Lasguns sounds like a rapid energy weapon.
This makes sense because I remember reading that some space marines grow to despise guardsmen for being weaker than them while others (most likely salamanders) grew a greater devotion to humanity and even protected guardsmen
That was really good. The animations flowed well and most of the movements looked natural and not jerky or overly fluid. I am not a animator but I think it looked good.
This was amazing. I especially like how the Ultramarine, someone who you'd expect to consider himself above the Guardsmen, praises them and their virtue while he beats the Chaos Marine to death. It seems the Ultramarine, unlike the Black Legionnaire, remembered that he too was once a mortal human. It's especially poetic how one of the guardsman is shown to still be alive when the Ultramarine states that they refuse to lay down and die, and how the video focuses on the dead guardsmen when the Ultramarine mentions how the guardsmen had loved ones back home.
Ultramarines and Salamanders are generally quite good to their non-Astartes subjects, and treat Guardsmen with respect - a rare thing, even among Space Marines.
+TreeckotheRebel No, not the Grey Knights. The Grey Knights often kill guardsmen after missions, or at the very least the guardsmen have their memories wiped and are sterilized. When the Space Wolves tried to protect guardsmen and civilians from this rate the Grey Knights betrayed the Space Wolves and attacked them during what was supposed to be peaceful negotiations. warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Months_of_Shame
Was waiting for a line of how "a 'weak sack of flesh' has more potential than any other", on the part where humans can become space marines, and stuff like legendary commanders.
Ultramarine: You would laugh, monster, but let me remind you. Within that weak sack of meat and bone uncared-for by his god and wept for by none... Beats...a Heart! A human heart, that carries with it the strength and courage of all mankind! Within that sack of meat, is ensconced the hope, the will, and the fury, of every man, woman, and child, from every corner of the Imperium! Within that weak sack of meat, festooned in thin armor and weapons only powerful in numbers... Beats the heart of a man. And for ten thousand years, the hearts of men have beaten strongly in defiance of your so-called powers! For ten thousand years, the hearts of men have stoot united against a galaxy that despises them for no reason, save that they the audacity not to lay down and die! For ten thousand years, your black Crusades have been pushed back, beaten down, and made a mockery of, by weak sacks of flesh with cheap weapons and disposable equipment! For that weak sack of flesh that you so gleefully mock is no super soldier, no immortal warrior, no creature cursed by Chaos like you! He... is a man... An Imperial Guardsman, drawn from some forgotten corner of the Imperium, to fight for his species, and for the safety of the people he loves! He is a factory worker, a farmer, a storekeeper, a father, a brother, a son, a meer man. And against creatures like you, teeming in numberless, powered by the very will of thirsty gods... HE. HOLDS THE LINE! And he has the held the line for ten thousand years! So... what's your excuse, monster?
“For 10,000 years he had held the line” salute the billions that have fallen for mankind, the guard are a normal humans in a galaxy of monsters and gods, yet they hold the line. This is why I play guard
No superpowers, no biotech augmentations, no superweapons, no unbreakable armor. Only humans, normal and current, expendable and disposable, anonymous and cried by no one, with a shitty equipment against an entire galaxy full of abominations and beings that do not belong to this reality. And even so.... They still holding the line. For 10,000 years....
"We do not fight for worlds, or for names, or even for our beloved father! WE fight for them, the people of the Imperium.

Against all odds and against the most terrifying and monstrous hell spawn the universe threw at them, they still fight. They fight also not for worlds or for a creed, they fight not even for themselves. They fight for their loved ones and a place to call home within a galaxy hell bent of destroying everything that they are. I say s\this to each and every new brother within our ranks.

I'd like to announce that I've taken a lot of feedback and will center the new upcoming short film a lot more on the bravery of the guardsmen. There is also another space marine duel which will be a lot more hectic coming up that I'm sure will amaze you :) Teaser for both coming up soontm.
_This is just superb! Like, this really makes me appreciate everything the Guardsmen do and go through, and why they continue to survive the fields of a universe dedicated to their destruction._ _Salute to both animator and voice actor alike! You've earned a new scrubscriber~!_
Galacta ハングリー the guardsman always the unsung heroes, I really like the appeal that a mere human fighting against the cosmic horror the galaxy have to offer. Sadly the space marines always get all the credit in spite all their sacrifice.
Bernard Rednix I meant in terms of one faction actually doing all the dirty work, holding the line while dying by the thousand, while another faction turns up at the last minute, 'saves the day' and gets all the credit
If this is how an Ultramarine of the Primaris breed act and see humanity, and if the Blue Blunders are supposed to be the poster boys, then I feel it would be good for them to exemplify that deep level of humanity more.
That's actually pretty wrong. The Ultramarines are very much like the Salamanders and Space Wolves when it comes to civilians. They often deploy to rescue people from Xenos or Traitors, and are shown to do quite a bit to save them. (For example, the Ultramarines' evacuation of the civilians on Damnos during the Fall of Damnos, with even a Venerable Dreadnought giving his life so that the Civilians could take off and get to the Ultramarines fleet in orbit. It was noted that the Ultramarines later resettled those civilians within Ultramar.) The Ultramarines do genuinely give a damn about the regular folk. They're the kind who will not only save your life, but will make sure you have a place to live afterwards. They're not Black Templars or Marines Malevolent.
one sub one plink They do. It's just that many people just hate them for some reason, therefore combine them with attributes that don't fit them at all. The flesh tearers are kind of sm you were talking about.

@Craiberk no
This was a primaris, not a gray knight.
And the Inquisition only does that on very rare occasions with gray knights. Most of the time the human population at the time of the invasion has died of old age and generations have passed and passed before Inquisition investigations can even begin. The memories of the wars passing into legends proved only by crumbling ruins and forgotten bones.
@Craiberk those are Commissars, not Inquisitors. Inquisitors are very rare on the galactic scale, only being present along side special crusading forces as an attachment and shadow command structure. If ever single squad of guardsmen had an attached inquisitor, the entire imperium would have been exicuted by exterminatus ages ago.
Even Commissars are not meant to root out corruption, but rather are ment to prevent men from fleeing, by shooting cowards.
The guardsmen would probably be executed if he lived through his wounds under suspicion that he has been tainted by chaos.
And neither he nor you would want to spread that taint would you?
@Craiberk primaris : I am about to kill an inquisitor better call the space wolf
@Craiberk That would mean that every single guardsman that has fought against chaos marines or even just cultists would be executed just in case, for example all the population of cadia would have been executed docens of times through history. In reality that only happens in extreme occasions when the taint is evident or, when they see grey knights because they are supposed to be a secret (something really stupid in my opinion, i mean, the majority of citizens couldnt even tell the difference between a grey knight and a normal astartes, just tell them they are another chapter and move on).

3:41 I realized why this scene is so powerful.
The Primaris knew each Guardsmen personally... He knew their jobs, their age, their stories. He knew the Factory Worker, he knew the Farmer, the Storekeeper, the Father, the Brother and the Son... He had spent time talking to them, knowing them...
...And he only arrived in time to save just one of them from the Chaos Marine. This actually shows that his 'Breaking speech' to the Chaos Marine was him making a Mockery of the Chaos Marine, just like the Marine had made a Mockery of the Guardsmen.
It's also why he snappishly asked "What's your Excuse, _Monster?"_ at the end. He notably spits out the Word "Monster" like it was the most foulest of Poisons. With the added context, it basically shows he is no longer going to drag out shaming the one that killed _his_ Guardsmen.
I mean, the Primaris could have just _Shot_ the Chaos Marine from behind, but because he was likely downright enraged by what he had seen him do to _His_ Guardsmen, the Primaris decided to Torture the Chaos Marine by beating him to within an Inch of his life before finishing him off.
Quite possible. Ultramarines mingle with the general population, as directed by Guilliman himself who didn't want them to lose their humanity. They keep in touch with their families in Macragge and visit them when they return to the fortress-monastery between deployments. They treat their unaugmented allies as much as equals as an Astartes is capable of. They're not as sentimental as the Salamanders, but they have a lot of empathy for the common man.
It would of been nice if the guardsmen was the one who got the kill

I like the idea that a space marine is saying this instead of a guardsman because if a guardsman said it would sound more arrogant than heroic. Also it shows that some space marines, the powerful super soldiers , acknowledge the importance and the sacrifice of the imperial guards who are far "inferior" to them.
Qball you say inferior I say superior because possibly with the exception of the salamanders the space marines are stripped of everything that makes them human i.e. Their humanity and emotions, a space marine marches into battle never once contemplating the idea that he and his battle brothers might lose while a guardsmen does and he knows that if he does then his loved ones will suffer and that thought makes him all the more determined to win, as a famous English bard once said "courage is not the absence of fear but merely acting inspite of it"
@@dionwoollaston5717 I don't actually consider the guardsman inferior which is why I included quotations around the word. I consider the guardsman to be far superior to the space marines in terms of heart and humanity. I was just using the word to say why I consider it better for a space marine to be saying it. To be honest I completely agreed with everything your saying including the exception about the salamanders. Great comment by the way. I also appreciate your maturity since many people could have responded in a harsher way.
Qball your welcome people seem to forget or largely overlook the imperial guard in favor of the marines, even though the guardsmen contribute just as much if not more to the safe guarding of humanity, because while the marines do retake planets from their enemies it's the guardsmen and PDF who ensure that they have a planet and a foothold to take back, for example it's not a planet full of space marines sitting at the entrance to the eye of terror it's the guardsmen who are preventing the heretics from overrunning the imperium
@@dionwoollaston5717 Well said and too true. This is why I mostly favor chapters like the lamenters of the salamanders that give a damn about the people they are protecting. This is also why Lorgar Grimnar the Old Wolf is such a good guy. He openly defends the weak a rarity for space wolves. Also the planet fell before the guard.

A simple man with generic equipment, fighting monsters, augmented soldiers, old and new gods, ancient soulless races, witches and sorcerers, yet their will has never faltered.
Despite the fact, most factions have advanced technology, better armor, and equipment, and while after the dark age of technology ended, and humanity ended up with Lasguns, but didn't use any other advanced weaponry, they still have the spirit and faith to continue pushing, regardless what enemy's awaits them.
Which is why the Imperial guardsmen are my favorite, because it isn't their equipment that keeps them going its their heart.

For an even better comparison, lets compare one army of Death Korps Krieg soldiers to a legion of Iron Warriors. Who do you think is coming out on top there?
@@jasonburke1671 in your scenario yes... but the difference between that scenario and a war the IG have numbers. They wouldn't send 1 army.

I can imagine the Guardsman’s thoughts when the Ultramarine was saving him and complimenting him.
“Oh, you...”
“You have IMPECCABLE timing!”
“Wow. One of Roboute’s chosen!”
This is why the Imperial Guard can sometimes be the most badass group in 40k since they're basically farmer Joe with an over glorified laser pointer fighting shit strait from hell

@BlackDeathViral03 interesting, thanks!
Ive read that the emperor actualy cares about everyone and sheds a single tiny tear whenever a guardsmen or any of his servants die in combat with some big heroes getting full tears and he weeps during great wars his custodes collect these tears
Not trying to be a heretic, or anything, but does the Emperor still love those who joined Chaos?
@@benceklock4831 probably not
@@benceklock4831 probs pitys loves them like you were my sons now you are nothing
That's uh... That's a lot of tears for the Guardsmen
If that’s true, then he’s probably shed enough tears to fill the ocean.
I wonder if Chaos Space Marines do this much roasting in canon?
But my god that "reason you suck" speech by that Primaris(?) marine was beautiful.
That it was. Someone give that Primaris Captain a new chapter! The Roast Marines!
There are two types of Marines the talkers and the doers. Besides the Primaris did not save the Guardsman the Inquistion killed him after he got back to base.
any guardsman who sees or fights chaos marines in subject to execution unless he lies or a marine chaplain vouches for him in the way that he is pure of heart

Chaos Worshipers fight for their own personal gain. Those of the Imperium that defy them fight for the sake of those beside them and for those that can't.
And because the Commissar is just as merciless as the enemy :D
And that too.
I think if you do your duty as you are expected the Commissar becomes your ideal and not a reason to fear but to inspire.
There is that as well.
Examples of good commissars are Ibram Gaunt, Ciaphas Cain and Sebastian Yarrick. And the Commissar Lord who punched a Daemon Prince in the face in DoWII Retribution.
For each Guardsman that may fall to the forces of Chaos, thousands more shall rise to take their place.
For ten thousand years they have held the line against the most vile the Universe may offer.
For even if the planet may break, the Guardsman of the Imperium shall hold the line for ten thousand more years.

Guardsmen truly are the strongest in the galaxy, even more than the space marine, for even they hide behind thick plates of ceramite. Guardsmen charge into battle knowing they will never prevail in hand-to-hand combat. Yet they still do it, for they are the mightiest warriors, the deadliest warriors...
Mere, mortal men.
It was man who created the space marines, their tools, and all the ships in the imperium
Guardsmen! Fix bayonets! FOR THE EMPEROR!
I think it's more that they're running away from their Commissars bolt pistol than it is they are running towards the enemy.

Most badass Kind in Warhammer, The Guardsmen...
But the guardsmen does have training that's why they can be given a wide variety of weapons besides the lasguns such as the plasma rifle, melta guns, flamers and many more

Space Marine: "Yes, he does."
Imperial guardsman status UPDATE: fix bayonets
Unfortunately guardsmen have no hope of ever coming close to that, lord generals were genetically designed by the emperor himself if I'm not mistaken.
Truly the lowly guardsman is the bravest of beings in the gallaxy, for they have no augmentation, no centuries of victories behind them, no giant stature nore gentic mutations nor blessings from unholy gods, their muscles are weak, their reflexes dull, their bodies frail, their minds made of clay easily molded or broken and yet they stand before the never ending tides of enemies who have every bit of that and more with not but the chippest and easiest of guns to produce a sharpened piece of steel for fangs and what ever scraps of iron can be spared for armor to protect them from eldritch backed super weapons and armor, they die in forgotten millions, their names blown away with the dust of their bones, and still they do not move out of the way for to take one step back brings a fate far worse then death uppon their loved ones!

It's funny: The human faction in Warhammer is dying for "humanity" and a rotting corpse on a throne. I thought Orks were pretty weird with the believing thing, but even that makes more sense than a bunch of space religious nuts
@@jojotoofor9eight766
The emperor is alive he is just kept alive as he is holding closed the Webway on terra and powering the astronomicon. It's not a bunch of religious nuts, (not all of them anyway) there is actual evidence to suggest that the emperor has indeed become a god to some extent.

"The patriot volunteer, fighting for country and his rights, makes the most reliable soldier on Earth."
- Lieutenant General Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson
I'm surprised there isn't a character based off Stonewall Jackson in 40k. (apart from the Imperial Fists and Rogal Dorn)
@Jakub Bończak while this is true, however, within the lore there was an event known as the Third War of Armageddon. And Games Workshop, the people who made Warhammer, held an irl Warhammer 40k tournament to decide the fate of the planet. Different countries were picked to defend the different Hives on Armageddon and America was picked to defend Hive Helsreach. Yes *that* Helsreach, one of the most amazing stories I've ever had the privilege of reading.
Couldn't but feel that through this whole thing the Guardsman is like "some help? Bleeding quite a lot here. It's nice, being monologued at, but a, maybe a bandaid? Strip of cloth? Anything?"
Heelz pleez!!
*Gengi voice* "I need healing"
Contradictory Nature the speech healed him
Imagine if the space marine that was defending the guardsmen was a salamander.
Amazing video it makes me shed a tear evertime he says (For 10000 years he has held the line)
God as my witness, I love the Space Marine's speech! "No super soldier, no immortal warrior...a mere man!" What better way to describe a true hero than a mere human facing every challenge that comes their way and not giving up until it is overcome? God bless every hero that ever lived in service to their fellow man, be they soldiers, doctors, policemen, firefighters, paramedics, counselors, parents, teachers, preachers, or those who give what little they can out of the goodness of their own hearts. Mere humans all and yet so much greater for that fact alone. Heroes of the day, legends forever!
Pussies all of them. *BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD*
And that send off...
"What's your excuse?"

"The defenders of man"
Fucking brilliant. In four minutes and sixteen seconds you have explained my hate for Chaos and my love for the Imperial Guard.
EkhidnaSkiz I feel you brother.
I second that statement! FOR THE EMPEROR!!
"He has held the line for 10 thousand years." Take my like.
I get the distinct feeling that the Guardsman who didn’t die was the one who pulled the trigger, because that was not the sound of a Boltor being fired.
But a lasgun doesn't sound like that.
Boltpistol single shot mode
I couldn't tell, because I've never heard either lasguns or bolters fire 🤔😅
Poetic justice?
@@finnishfatman Bolters make roaring sounds when they fire followed by the whistling and explosion of the bolter round exploding against its target. Lasguns sounds like a rapid energy weapon.
This makes sense because I remember reading that some space marines grow to despise guardsmen for being weaker than them while others (most likely salamanders) grew a greater devotion to humanity and even protected guardsmen
That was really good. The animations flowed well and most of the movements looked natural and not jerky or overly fluid. I am not a animator but I think it looked good.
because it was 60fps
This was amazing. I especially like how the Ultramarine, someone who you'd expect to consider himself above the Guardsmen, praises them and their virtue while he beats the Chaos Marine to death. It seems the Ultramarine, unlike the Black Legionnaire, remembered that he too was once a mortal human.
It's especially poetic how one of the guardsman is shown to still be alive when the Ultramarine states that they refuse to lay down and die, and how the video focuses on the dead guardsmen when the Ultramarine mentions how the guardsmen had loved ones back home.
Aye, there's some fantastic cinematography used in this animation. Works so nicely with the dialogue.
Ultramarines and Salamanders are generally quite good to their non-Astartes subjects, and treat Guardsmen with respect - a rare thing, even among Space Marines.
The Salamanders, Grey Knights(Or was it Wolves?) and Ultramarines respect the Guardsmen.
+TreeckotheRebel
No, not the Grey Knights. The Grey Knights often kill guardsmen after missions, or at the very least the guardsmen have their memories wiped and are sterilized. When the Space Wolves tried to protect guardsmen and civilians from this rate the Grey Knights betrayed the Space Wolves and attacked them during what was supposed to be peaceful negotiations.
warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Months_of_Shame
Was waiting for a line of how "a 'weak sack of flesh' has more potential than any other", on the part where humans can become space marines, and stuff like legendary commanders.
Ultramarine: You would laugh, monster, but let me remind you. Within that weak sack of meat and bone uncared-for by his god and wept for by none... Beats...a Heart! A human heart, that carries with it the strength and courage of all mankind! Within that sack of meat, is ensconced the hope, the will, and the fury, of every man, woman, and child, from every corner of the Imperium! Within that weak sack of meat, festooned in thin armor and weapons only powerful in numbers... Beats the heart of a man. And for ten thousand years, the hearts of men have beaten strongly in defiance of your so-called powers! For ten thousand years, the hearts of men have stoot united against a galaxy that despises them for no reason, save that they the audacity not to lay down and die! For ten thousand years, your black Crusades have been pushed back, beaten down, and made a mockery of, by weak sacks of flesh with cheap weapons and disposable equipment! For that weak sack of flesh that you so gleefully mock is no super soldier, no immortal warrior, no creature cursed by Chaos like you! He... is a man... An Imperial Guardsman, drawn from some forgotten corner of the Imperium, to fight for his species, and for the safety of the people he loves! He is a factory worker, a farmer, a storekeeper, a father, a brother, a son, a meer man. And against creatures like you, teeming in numberless, powered by the very will of thirsty gods... HE. HOLDS THE LINE! And he has the held the line for ten thousand years! So... what's your excuse, monster?
I actually cried when I watched that.
Cadia stands!
CSM: Imperial Guard tanks are way to powerfull....
The marine is whining that his soldiers died before everyone else's
Chaos space marine: Abaddon
“For 10,000 years he had held the line” salute the billions that have fallen for mankind, the guard are a normal humans in a galaxy of monsters and gods, yet they hold the line. This is why I play guard
No superpowers, no biotech augmentations, no superweapons, no unbreakable armor.
Only humans, normal and current, expendable and disposable, anonymous and cried by no one, with a shitty equipment against an entire galaxy full of abominations and beings that do not belong to this reality. And even so....
They still holding the line.
For 10,000 years....
This is the main reason why I am a guardsmen

"We do not fight for worlds, or for names, or even for our beloved father! WE fight for them, the people of the Imperium. WE fight for the weak near defenseless people whom thru all the pain and horror still see themselves fit to fight beside us in the most horrendous of battles. Against all odds and against the most terrifying and monstrous hell spawn the universe threw at them, they still fight. They fight also not for worlds or for a creed, they fight not even for themselves. They fight for their loved ones and a place to call home within a galaxy hell bent of destroying everything that they are. I say s\this to each and every new brother within our ranks.

Oh my God, that's going to be AWESOME!
YESSSSSS
This was awesome but it would have been more awesome if it was a guardsmen instead of a spacemarine talking
Maybe it would have been cool if the guardsman had managed to get the lasgun, and as the chaos dude aimed the bolter, shot him in the head.
BADASS
That was literally THE best speech I've ever heard. For the human race! For the Emperor!
_This is just superb! Like, this really makes me appreciate everything the Guardsmen do and go through, and why they continue to survive the fields of a universe dedicated to their destruction._
_Salute to both animator and voice actor alike! You've earned a new scrubscriber~!_
Galacta ハングリー the guardsman always the unsung heroes, I really like the appeal that a mere human fighting against the cosmic horror the galaxy have to offer. Sadly the space marines always get all the credit in spite all their sacrifice.
Bernard Rednix the Gaurdsmen, for me, represent the British in World War Two. Guess who the Astartes represent...
SAS?
Bernard Rednix I meant in terms of one faction actually doing all the dirty work, holding the line while dying by the thousand, while another faction turns up at the last minute, 'saves the day' and gets all the credit
ハングリーGalacta especially since they primarily use flashlights in this universe
If this is how an Ultramarine of the Primaris breed act and see humanity, and if the Blue Blunders are supposed to be the poster boys, then I feel it would be good for them to exemplify that deep level of humanity more.
The Smurfs don't care if guardsmen or civvies die
Try salamanders or space Wolfs
Or Lamenters
That's actually pretty wrong.
The Ultramarines are very much like the Salamanders and Space Wolves when it comes to civilians.
They often deploy to rescue people from Xenos or Traitors, and are shown to do quite a bit to save them. (For example, the Ultramarines' evacuation of the civilians on Damnos during the Fall of Damnos, with even a Venerable Dreadnought giving his life so that the Civilians could take off and get to the Ultramarines fleet in orbit. It was noted that the Ultramarines later resettled those civilians within Ultramar.)
The Ultramarines do genuinely give a damn about the regular folk. They're the kind who will not only save your life, but will make sure you have a place to live afterwards. They're not Black Templars or Marines Malevolent.
Ohhh the poor Lamenters. Constantly shit on by everything in the galaxy and still keeps on going
one sub one plink They do. It's just that many people just hate them for some reason, therefore combine them with attributes that don't fit them at all. The flesh tearers are kind of sm you were talking about.
The Leviathans would like to express their approval of this sermon by the Ultramarine Sergeant, and hereby inform you that our Chaplains have taken it for themselves to inspire our troops to remember who they protect.
The Inquisition approves as well.
Then and Ork walks in and says: “Wut yah zoggin gitz on about!?”
