- The Astartes story all makes sense now! The masks, the powers, the rebellion, someone has been poking around obscure Xenos artifacts! Here is the promised full video on the Yu'Vath • 40k Lore, The Yu'Vath!...
Before watching this video GO WATCH THE ORIGINAL FIRST!
• Video - Ігри
You can faintly hear the Inquisitor say "recall them immediately"
@@MrDLUA-cam Source...would be cool to know. Mostly everyone has been thinking and hearing him say: "Return/Recall them immediately!".
@@MrDLUA-cam it knows that im listening makes no sense whatsoever in this context. recall them immediately does
@@MrDLUA-cam he literally says in the description of the video that it's just what he thinks they say...Not that he put them through software
@@MrDLUA-cam why dont you link it? "See the video I mentioned" some people won't unless you make it easy.
@@MrDLUA-cam There's no video that goes by that
if you listen carefully again with perhaps slower speed you hear the orb say: "take them all" and then the inquisitor stops his focus and says "return them immediately!" at which point he had lowered his defences and the orb attacks him.
If you listen to the echoes of the last word lingering, the syllable '-pha' becomes much clearer. Likely in reference to the alpha level psyker that is the inquisitor.
I heard "take them all" as well
I agree with this observation more.
@@OgreOnAStick I heard "Take the Alpha" at first, but then I thought I processed it to "Take the offer."
Yeah I didn't hear it at first but when I went back and listened again I heard it i wondered why the officer signaled the other Marine to leave he must of been telling him to send a recall order to the kill team. Unfortunately it got there too late...
The Space Marine didnt "shoot point blank" from his plasma rifle - he let it overload and used it as plasma bomb. It's the oldest trick in the book. (Dan Abnett's book to be precise)
I'm glad somebody else pointed this out. The delay and bright glow was clearly the pistol being overcharged with the intention of being detonated.
I think it worked to, I think that is what took out the creature that was tethering the marines, although the timing was slightly delayed due to warp fuckery.
_The Codex Astartes does not aprove of this!_
@@cameronfrost5924 no if you use your telekinetic abilities in the warp you shine like a bright light and the predators of the warp just swallowed the Duke
@@scottscottsen3089 Ah, could be.
It’s good the film doesn’t hold your hand too much, it’s what enables this discussion.
"A clear sign of warp fuckery." Well said brother.
yeah, I just subscribed on that, fist time here. Best wishes Xavier, well met
Makes me laug every time he says it :')
I love how "warp fuckery" is a very technical term in 40k
Bmobmo64 the emperor used the term himself, after the captain general asked him what he was talking about the emperor said "Fourth degree, interdimensional, warp fuckery"
Haha yes😂😂
*inquisitor guy starts going insane*
*space marine* "so anyway i started blasting"
Hur hur. An original meme.
You mean, *So anyway I grabbed his skull, and one punched his head off his shoulders*
Standard Procedure.
@@mwnciboo And then started blasting.
@@billrich9722 funnier than your derp, derp.
i just love that 'warp fuckery' is very much a technical term when discussing wh40k.
Seriously, everyone uses it and it's totally accurate.
Especially if it is applied to things related to Slaanesh.
your like is at 666... now its 667.
Absolutely technical term. Used in many of our campaigns in Deatheatch, Dark Heresy, and Only War
I always think of it as "warp-fuckery"
Inquisitor: *gets possessed* Space marine: *I find your lack of faith disturbing*
Lmao
Weak af
“Oh Honey...”
that what you get when you fail your perils of the warp test
@@Lordofthe44 when you max your corruption points
Also, I have another theory: the first sphere was taken using the same strategy- a psyker keeping it weakened while the Astartes take it down. The shackled sphere back then attempted to manipulate the Astartes, but failed, and due to that was captured. When it came into the proximity of the second sphere, it gave it a warning, telling it that it cannot take hold of the Astartes, and told it to instead attack the Alpha-class psyker (which is the reason the sphere suddenly stopped pushing against the Astartes).
However, the psyker overheard the warning and told the Astartes guards to recall the kill team, recognizing that they are in mortal danger as the plan will fail. Sadly, it was too late, and he was overwhelmed, but since the psyker's mind was now in the warp, controlled by the sphere, they were both vulnerable to warp entities, which led to them being attacked. In the moment before it's death, the sphere thought of a place it wanted to go to in an attempt to save itself- the homeworld of the Yu Vath- and that attempt to flee flung the Astartes there.
Perhaps it goes even further than that, perhaps the Psyker allowed the Warp to flow into him, knowing his guards would destroy his empty shell at the first sign of corruption and that the Sphere-mind would not be expecting this tactic.
@@arueshalaetablebuildingsociety it's possible, but that takes some serious guts and self-sacrifice. Are Inquisitor psykers usually this devout?
@@nivaldomonte5441 They are when they are my units thats for sure
@@arueshalaetablebuildingsociety that’s what I think. The psyker knew it was over for him and used his last moments to fight back and warn the astartes. Causing the Xenos to get consumed by warp Deamons and the marines being sent to the homeworld alone.
@@nivaldomonte5441 The inquisitor in the Curze book dueled the scariest primarch without flinching, knowing full well what was going to happen, and he actually styled on him a bit before getting disemboweled.
They can be bastards but they also tend to be extraordinary people willing to go to great lengths for the imperium.

Everyone on UA-cam: ok so we are going to talk about each frame for 10 mins each
Love watching the bighead and sweatlords argue amongst themselves over crap like this.

Everyone else: Oh just put it in a box somewhere for fuuuuuuuucks sake.
@@Derek147900 Not many, there are few who have a coherent take on the entire sphere situation & what it is... I think that Arch has hit the nail on the head here though. It feels right looking back on it with this information.
:)
You joke, but i mean.....for just a guy to freakin animate this with THAT quality, yeah every freakin frame is like a days worth of work.
I wonder if EFAP will consider covering this
I love how he took the xenos artifact and made it very Lovecraftian in presentation.
how "he", the guy is alone doing this.
Im starting to have my doubts, where does all the models come from? Music? Seems like way more than one man can do
HE!!!!!
@@ravener96 This took him 10 months.
@@ravener96 become a patreon and you'll have access to more posts of him. But yeah, hard to beleive. He's a one man army that put entire studios at shame.
As plenty of others have said, the Inquisitor's psychic energy is seen as black smoke. The force that hits the Yu'Vath was a mass of black smoke. He may have lost the battle for his mind (and possibly soul), but was able to give one last "fuck you" to the monster.
YES!
I always thought it was a daemon from the warp, eviscerating and devouring the spheres soul. But this makes so much more sense!
no escape. I have failed brother."
'We have all failed. The Astartes deny our touch. You must return, break your seal."
"Impossible, (I) will never survive."
"You must! Take them!"(talking about the Kill squad)
In inquisitor drops his concentration to warn them. “Pull them back immediately” but becomes possessed
I found on the full edit of the Astartes shorts, a very good transcription from Robert* ! And if you listen closely, it fits better. Here is his comment :
"the orbs start speaking to one and other,
Orb1 "who is here?"
Orb2 "i have failed, brother" (couldn't stop the marines or corrupt them)
Orb1 "We have all failed" (he's captured)
Orb1 "the Astartes defy our touch" (they have a hard time controlling them)
Orb2 "You must return... Break your seal!" (returning from the warp to "normal" universe and get free from the inquisitors seal)
Orb1 "Impossible, we'll never survive!"
Orb2 "You must take the alpha" (the inquisitor since he's the highest ranked and has psyker powers he is the "Alpha" if he controls him he has the entire ship the Daemon that is.)
as orb 1 (the daemon) does this he takes control of the inquisitor but before he can do anything the commander warns his troops ("Get them out Now!")and takes the soon to be possessed inquisitor out.
The impulsor sergeant (space marine) receives comms to watch out but its too late and the Daemon of orb 2 sucks them into the warp.
Warhammer 40k is extremely hostile space the moment he uses his psyker powers within the warp he lights up like a Christmas tree and other daemons kill him thus he lets the marines go and they get warped to a different location.
Fun fact... if the commander was a second or 2 slower the entire ship would have been corrupted and they would have died. Also possessed Psykers are very hard to kill,
blowing off the head doesn't mean they are dead you really have to dismantle the whole body."
Guys what I wrote is straight from the maker of astartes he posted it on his redit thread
It's a shame that his sacrifice might've been in vain. Depending on whether the Retributor Chapter is able to recover any of their Adeptus Astartes.
@@AeneasSanjeet good translation, but they are Xenos, not Daemons. They clearly know about the dangers of the warp. Their spheres have warp shields to mask their presence. When it’s damaged, a predator of the warp quickly takes out the Xenos, you see that when the Xeno pulls the kill squad into the sphere.
@@misanthropicservitorofmars2116 I love that you still argue with him even tho it’s literally info from the creator, but whatever.
Argosa Uprisings happen
Imperium: Eh, they'll get better
The rebels are using xenos tech
Imperium: BY THE EMPEROR SEND IN THE SPACE MARINES
Grifter Exactly this. XD
That is kind of the Imperium’s take on things
When it comes to Xenos and Chaos, there quite literally is no such thing as too much overkill, there is:
.."we pray this meager amount of overkill is enough..."
If facing tech of beings that are able to enslave whole planets... you wont be sending guard to take care of it, it will be just a gift that can be used against you. Send in Space Marines and that might be enough..if not Emperor help us...
I think they know how dangerous these things are because they've dealt with them before.
At 0:33 of part 5 you can clearly see another orb dangling in the top right of the screen. I'm guessing they have been dealing with multiple orbs from before this encounter. It could also explain the "We have all failed" portion of the dialogue between the orbs (assuming that's what was actually said)
So many details that are easy to miss.
I am going to have to make a full Yu Vath lore video now aren't it? well, i guess The Perturabo that could have been will have to go wait quietly in a corner then!😏
*intense crying* "no one knows how good i am*
Please make a video on Yu’vath, there are zero videos on them and I had to go to the wiki to find out wtf they were
Poor Perturabo always being passed up.
"Unhappy Warsmith noises..." Do what ya gotta do mate ;)
Siege!
The actual Yu'vath conversation goes like this: "No escape. I have failed, brother. We have all failed. The astartes defy our touch. You must return. Break your seal. Impossible. You'll never survive. You must ... take them."
As an audiologist editing this down was quite easy. Here is what I've done:
• amplification of the main language area for better speech comprehension
• reduction of all other frequencies for noise reduction
• slight frequency shift to make high pitched consonants more discernible
• silencing word breaks and some syllable breaks for echo reduction
• combined or singled out stereo channels to reduce noise and increase dynamic speech range
• amplified some syllables even more
Done. :)
Holy crap I recognised your name but didn't click straight away, do you have any plans to finish/clean up your Space Hulk audiobook edit? I freaking love it and I wish you would do more like it. You should check out a channel called Peranine, he is writing a really good 40k fanfic story at the moment and I think it would benefit amazingly from your touch.
@@thezurban7209 Thanks. Glad you've enjoyed it. The audio book was on hold for years due to time constrains. I wanted to pick work on it up again after finishing my job training, which I did this summer. Right now I'm finishing my work on improving the sound design of the Astartes mini series and will return to the audio book afterwards.
Editing sfx to 1 minute takes between 1 to 2 hours. It's going to be a long road. Also, since James Murphy closed his YT years ago I've got no way for him to re-record or re-edit the things that he messed up in the original. It'll be a flawed gem forever ... unless I can find someone to re-record the entire thing.
@@KillerExe01 Dang that sucks to hear, It may be flawed but it will always be a gem. Looking forward to more of your stuff now that you've finished your training though.
Thank you very much for clearing this up. You're awesome
you got it perfect sir. but it does not say "take the alpha"?
"this is not overkill" yeah pretty correct. in Horus rising a space marine is possessed by a warp demon and i think they said it took like 175 bolt rounds to take it down. which my not seem like much but keep in mind, a single bolt round (from just a pistol) can turn a human from the torso up into ragu and blow a hole in a modern day tank.
kemui696 ... now I want ragu.
Bullets the size of redbull cans nuff said
You actually see a bolt round rip a rebel soldiers torso from his lower half earlier in one of the scenes right before the large group of rebels get absolutely shredded by one of their own heavy laser mgs
Kevin Moore .75 cal rounds are not that large. They’re fucking big, but not like 40mm grenades.
I just did some quick mental math. Considering a standard bolter magazine contains 25-30 rounds, that would mean that the demon was able to eat between six and seven full magazines before finally getting the hint and dying.
So yeah. Overkill, no such thing.
That teaser at the end...
Why the hell isn't this guy getting checks from GW?
coz gw sucks at spoting talant
Because GW would try to micromanage it to death. Better to let the man be and let him create. That way it won't fuck up the story.
cus GW have a sub par record when it comes to handing out licences . see Fig 1 DOW 3
@@allways28 To be fair, Dawn of War 1 and 2 are other data points.
Because he is not making kids nonsense
I laughed when the two marines wasted the inquisitor when he showed signs of demonic possession. I could just imagine them saying "Yeah, we've played this game before and we're not interested thank you"
Jab-Bow They noped that bastard back to the Warp in three seconds flat.
Actually, watching the sudden jump when he goes lightshow, I'm thinking more "!" A la metal gear from the captain, and the beaky with the bolter going "Ohshit ohshit!" As he plugs the corpse.
The kill of the inquisitor was so casual. Casual brutality = life of a space marine.
Its called initiating emergency protocol mincemeat! Lol
Efficiently effective, it is an inquisitor so I cant imagine thed be hesitant to shoot the bugger
I'm sorta disappointed the hooded Inquisitor isn't a unit/character--he looks so cool
you can always try to recreate it with green stuff or other parts if your really handy with it
@@astrayamatu Or find a friend with a 3d printer
The head could be gotten from the DE bike squads. They have that helmet. I tend to use it on a lot of my Archons
That head looks like a Spiritseer helm, just cut down a bit.
Same
In the scene with the golden giant it seemed clear to me that they were disassembling it and using its skin and insides to make the psyker's masks and spines.
Most of the people doing breakdowns and analysis I've see have always talked about the Golden Giant being "Assembled" in the room, but I agree with you it always looked to me like it was being taken apart so it's pieces can be repurposed into making those psycho-reactive "Replacement heads"
@@drronin112 I was thinking along the same lines. There's just one thing that stops me from completely going down that road. Do you remember in the previous video how the two psykers were each seemingly missing an arm? The golden statue is also missing part of one of its arms, cut off at about the same level. I don't know what it means, but it gives me pause. Maybe they ritualistically mutilated themselves in order to somehow resemble this statue?
I thought the same honestly the giant reminds me of Alien Prometheus
The Space Marine Captain's response when the Inquisitor become possessed is one of my favorite scenes.
Heresy!
PAWNCH
NOPE! Sorry fam, Hans, get the Bolter
I like how his cape is actually moved by the air being displaced by the Bolter firing.
Apache 5 wow, that is detail!

Meanwhile you could ask the author for everything or check his patreon lol.
@@DayOfCasual I guess he enjoys all the discussion and theories. It's not meant to be fully understand and without mystery. And that is just awsome, in this time and age. Were usually everything is spoonfeed and explained to the viewer. All hail the astartes - maker
The Yu'vath were a Warp-worshipping xenos species, who built an empire of corrupted humans, and were defeated in the Angevin Crusade, together with the Bale Childer, after the homeworlds of both species were destroyed by Exterminatus. They were the last resistance to Imperial rule in the Calyx Expanse, which signaled the end of the Angevin Crusade and the birth of the Calixis Sector.
Did anyone read the introduction to the video?
Arch, you are correct sir!
Cheers!
Ay man thanks for the lore, love how deep it goes
You can hear the Orb say "At Last" when the inquisitor breaks his concentration and tells the commander to recall the marines. So many little touches he put into these videos. Just crammed full of little details you dont always find on the first pass
"I have failed brother."
Clearly the orb is really Hulk Hogan.
What you gonna do, if Hulkmania hugs you into Warp brother.
The Retcon-ing I mean... Astartes refer to each other as brothers also.... So like, they’re all sorta like a bunch of Hulk Hogans with armor thicker than a tanks.
Dunno about the orbs tho.
No, it's ComMANdER BoREAlE... Because He have fehled!
@@Defileros NO! ItS thE eNemeY wHo facES DeATh and Defeat, AS You knOW.
The other one is Macho Man?
This series is the ultimate in, "Show, don't tell."
I love it.
That hint of mystery really enhances the overall experience, like listening to a catchy song and not understanding a word of it
The lack of dialogue is excellent. Never have dialogue where it isn't absolutely required. Game companies like blizzard could learn a lot from this, but they never will.
I don’t know shit from Warhammer, and Astartes is getting me very interested in that universe.
@@The_Mimewar I don't play the tabletop game (nor do i want to) but the lore is amazing.
"...considering the somewhat confined spaces..."
Given that most "normal-sized" spaces appear "confined" when an Astartes occupies it, followed by seeing two of them enter a HUGE relatively empty space, it makes more sense that the two high-ranking Astartes are on the cruiser, not the frigate.
''Take the Alfa'' as in Alfabusa, GW is after him.
Well you where right
Do the adeptus mechanicus wear t-shirts saying
“I am Adeptus Mechanicus if you see me running you should too!!!!”
They should.
i would wear it.
“If you see me running, you are looking at the wrong thing.”
Ronald Stepp that is also a good one 😂
How about one that reads "Ask me about the Machine Spirit"
That "inquisitor psyker" is the unsung hero of this chapter.
That final Hail Mary was eye watering fr...
he was giving orders to the other two veterans as soon as the orb began to sturr.
I'm also quite sure that the blast of black smoke that fucked up the yu vath thing when it was holding the astartes was his final act before corruption.
@@michaeladams3762 that was probably a demon, if you pause the screen in that scene you can clearly see several demons in the form of shadows
@@zangasa Fair point, but in the sequence where the inquisitor listens in on the conversation of the spheres he has an aura of black smoke, which i believe to be the very same black smoke seen in the scene with the astartes.
@@michaeladams3762 That would be my guess as well. Psyker bro goes out swinging. Gotta respect that.
At the end, where our 1 handed boi is thrown into a "room" I think that he might have been thrown through the warp to the home planet of the Yu Vath. This looks like it could be their catacombs. This could be because when the Vu Vath daemon engine like thing was attacked it thought about where it would go when it died and accidentally threw the Marine at its most "sacred" site. Additionally the platform like structure that the marine is stood on appears as if it could be some sort of teleporter or spot at which the Yu Vath could have accessed the warp. As they were clearly friends of the warp, having such a place in a spiritual centre like a catacomb would make relatively good sense. @Arch Warhammer
It's not the Yu'Vath.
@@jimmyhayers ah, who is it then?
My favorite detail is how when the first astartes, the one with the plasma pistol, touches the sphere due to the attack, his comrades points his gun in his direction, ready to shoot him, only to then be sucked into the sphere himself
These are two possible translations that people gave in the comments of the original video.
Orb 1: "Who's here?"
Orb 2: "I have failed, brother."
Orb 1: "We have all failed."
Orb 2: "The Astartes deny our touch."
Orb 1: "You must return."
Orb 2: "Break your shield."
Orb 1: "Impossible. We'll never survive."
Orb 2: "You must take them."
Inquisiton Psyker: “The Astartes are in danger my Lord!”
Orb 1: "Who's there?"
Orb 2: "I have failed brother, WE HAVE ALL FAILED. The Astartes defy our touch".
Orb 1: "You must return. BREAK. YOUR. SEAL."
Orb 2: "Impossible, we will never survive."
Orb 1: "YOU MUST. Take them."
Inquisiton Psyker - "Return them immediately!"
the 2nd one is the right one
The second one makes more sense
@@Codex_0613 I second this man/women claim
Second is more likely. Especially the statement made by Psyker, you listen to what he says and there is no way to get "my lord" at the end. He says three words, not seven.
No idea what any of that means.
Astartes excels at showing off exactly what makes 40k incredible.
And so far it's the only thing that made me interested about WH40K
Play the Dawn of War games, there very high quality. (Excluding 3 and soulstorm)
I disagree. I want the game to be more like the film. Shoot need AR glasses and full sim environment.
if marvel gets to make the movies you can say good bye to all the good stuff lol

Arty23 ohh that explains why he has access to material and knowledge that under normal circumstances would earn you a place on the inquisition’s “drop cyclonic torpedo here” list
The Inquisitor of Ordo Hereticus is trying breach his way to find more secrets about these orbs.
Remember, the orb in the Inquisition ship is different from the 5 Astartes that they just found. When the Inquisitor finally got in, he make sure he listen carefully as the two orbs talk to each other. And as the orb says to "Break your shield, you will not survive, take them all." The Inquisitor made the biggest mistake to remove his focus to warn the Veteran even if he was still connected, which led to him begin possessed and... "Sanitized".
"Exorcised"
"Redeemed"
Emperor's peace....with extreme prejudice.
"The Inquisitor made the biggest mistake to remove his focus to warn the Veteran"
aka, he did his duty and warned the Emperors Angels of impending danger.
For the Emperor.
hey guys sorry for asking...
on my first view i thought it was a tech priest, then we see the inquisitors mark on his back.
im not the best of knowlege in wh40k, i thought that art of conection to things, computers, orbs could only be done by a tech priest
i found on the net some one asking if its possible to have/ to be a tech-priest-inquisitor?
The most disappointing thing about this story is that they are all so short. I would watch hours of these fan films
Mr Eboric quality > quantity
I imagine the guy behind this would love to do that but has a limited amount of time available to work on them. These sort of animations and film production is very time consuming.

Everyone misses the dead/ inert sphere hanging in the background of the protected chamber onboard the frigate.
"Alpha" could also refer to the grade of psyker (Alpha being the second strongest grade of psyker) so when the sphere entity says "You must take the alpha" they could be referring to the inquisitor/agent by his power or maybe some other psyker (possibly non human)

Cool story bro, thanks for letting us know.
The Emperor can’t protect himself let alone the ENTIRE IMPERIUM OF MAN the emperor is a lie! Hail chaos!
"I know of no inquisitor who would willingly hook themselves up to such a device". You have obviously never met a radical Ordo Malleus Inquisitor.
Not only has he hooked himself to one.
You can see a second orb hanging from another set of the same apparatus that suspends the first orb inside the vault, except the apparatus on that orb seems turned off, implying that orb is already turned off or dead.
This man has done it more than once.
Eisenhorn spent a lot of time with the Pontius, like serious mind meld time.
Not to mention that he was more than likely a sanctioned psyker and not an Inquisitor. He was a tool to be used until such a time as his face got wrecked and holes were applied to his body.
Or a certain inquisitor with a saurin face.
Ordo Xeno Inquisitors, would do it.
God, this dude speaks twisty mustache and I love it.
I find it grating. It sounds forced.
Nint
I think that’s why I love it.
Either that or I’m clinically insane.
😆
@@kermit8173 well he's norwegian so
$5 says his name is Noigel and owns a monocle.
I love the consistency of people who know what they're talking about when it comes to Warhammer 40K, because I've seen another guy say exactly the same thing about the "overkill" on the Inquisitor, which is that it isn't overkill at all. Very cool.
The inquisitor says "recall them inmediately". You can see the squad leader getting the message after.
And the blood he vomits is coagulated due to Larramans Organ.
Yeah you could see in the next scene where the leader turned his head to listen in on the vox radio.. But was rudely interrupted...
Oh, so that's what that sound was.
I thought the Inquisitor is saying something close to "It's eating my mind" or "It's taking my mind", which makes the captain react fast by sending one of them to inform the kill squad. Makes the captain be ready too if and like we saw the psyker getting possessed finish him off. Edit. Listening to that part again, I think you might be correct him saying "Recall them immediately" and that is the signal he gives to the marine and later on we see the "MC" getting radio call by him turning his head to listen and then all shit goes off with the sphere.
While the inquisitor is busy being taken over, he still fighting back and trying to say something, he says a few things before his mind is over powered. Can you make it out?
@@punisher9899 You mean after warning the Marine commander?
The warning the psyker says is "Recall them immediately!"
Thus breaking his concentration long enough to get possesed.
@@needs_more_dakka5774 He was going to get possessed anyway, you can see later that his prayers also don't do shit. He knew he was gonna get fucked so he told the weaker ones to leave so they won't die from whatever possesses him.
Absolutely love the Astartes story here, and the especially the no hand holding. The details is what makes it so great, when we can't hear the communications between the Marines but yet he reveals them through body language giving you a sense of the words being used. The quick reactions, precision and brutal execution of Space Marines movements. Every movement and every pixel carries weight in these short animated films. Watched them all countless times, and I'am sure i will watch them countless more and still be discovering new things. 11/10 would totally bang.
Stolen from another YT comment made by Rubentje:
For the people who are interested in more info. This is what the creator said on a Reddit AMA:
What the two orbs said:
"...no escape. I have failed brother."
'We have all failed. The Astartes deny our touch. You must return, break your seal."
"Impossible, (I) will never survive."
"You must! Take them!"
Has your series caused GW to reach out to you in any fashion?
- I do know that they're fans of the series.
In Ep.5 did they use the facemasks and spines to build the golden body or was it the other way around?
- Both were made using knowledge they gained from the xenos beings.
The giant metal armour suit - what would it have been when complete?
- Giant body would have been something more comfortable for the xeno beings to inhabit :)
Who are the one-armed psychers?
- One armed psykers were inner cabal of the rebellion in cahoots with the being in the orb.
The corrupted person is an inquisitor, not a techpriest.
What was the tenticle creature, how does it relate to the orbs, and what caused it to let go of the Space marines!!!?
- Xenos :) The orbs or "Vessels" were for their own protection/travel. Once it broke free from it and attempted Warp travel, it was preyed upon by warp entities, causing it to let go.
What is the goal of the beings?
- To very patiently subvert a system and prepare it for the rest of them. They need practice dealing with Imperials though...
Quick question, did the inquisitor from part 5 sacrifice himself to help out the astartes as they were being taken over like some of the theories suggest or were they incorrect? I'm talking about the scene where "the black smoke" (psychic power?) coming from him seems to be absorbed by the orb.
- No sacrifice. But he did break his concentration to try and warn them...
WTF happened at the end of episode 5!?
- Marines taken for a trip through the warp by the xenos being :) It was cut short and they ended up not quite where the xenos being was trying to take them...
'Cause I was wondering if you were willing to divulge the names of the Marines, specifically the Captain and lieutenant that smashed that Inquisition.

- Just to clarify, the Astartes project is moving forward as an anthology piece (officially announced with a trailer fairly soon), containing 2-3 more short stories, jumping to different SM chapters for each one. After that? We'll see :)
the only question i still have is:
how, in the manly Manperor's name, did that guy managed to pull such inhuman amount of work?
he most obviously was blessed with creative powers
the god emperor have bless him.
The antithesis to the ruinous powers.
He had the machine spirit with him!
Probably an agent of tzeentch to seduce us all into his greatest of plans
Beseeched by the Emperor, no doubt
"The Astartes (Also known as Space Marines) were sent in to deal with a planetary rebellion. However, the leaders or instigators of the rebellion escaped the planet, and were most likely on board the ship. They were likely aware that the mysterious orb was aboard since they already had one captured aboard their flagship, so they were sent in to kill the entire ship and capture/contain the orb for further study.
The guy in the red robes is an Inquisitor, whose job is to investigate anything that may threaten mankind and uncover hidden/unknown threats. These orbs were in some part responsible for the rebellion and therefore very dangerous.
Now, this Inquisitor was also a Psyker, which is essentially a sorcerer who draws their power from an alternate dimension known as the Warp. Basically, he was using his cosmic mind powers to observe the spheres with a form of magic vision that would reveal their 'true form' so to speak.
The golden body/statue they passed by looks like it was being built. It was possible it was meant to act as a host for the orb's intelligence when it was finished. There are some people speculating it could be an ancient, hyperadvanced AI, or at least the body of one, but personally that seems rather unlikely to me.
The Astartes, after fighting their way through the second orbs numerous attempts to attack/control them with its own powers, planted a bunch of devices on it that looked as if they were meant to contain the orbs powers.
Back on the flagship, the Inquisitor listens in on the orbs communicating to one another. They refer to each other as brothers and said they have failed, and that the Astartes defy their touch. It is possible they were trying to mind control the Astartes, but the Astartes have a mental resilience comparable to their physical capabilities, and are essentially immune to mind control attempts.
However, the Inquisitor overhears one of the orbs urging its brother to break free, while the imprisoned one says to 'Take the Astartes'.
The Inquisitor warns the Space Marine in charge of the mission, the guy with the white helmet and cape, that his men are in danger and need to leave immediately. The leader (who looks to be a Captain based on his insignia) sends off one of his men to go warn the others.
At this point, the imprisoned orb breaks free and apparently tries to possess the Inquisitor, perhaps by leaping its mind from the orb and into his body. This is what triggers the rush of visions and what causes him to burst into light. Now, possession is a well-documented phenomena in this universe, and the standard policy is to kill possessed beings on sight since they can do unspeakable damages, such as literally ripping the fabric of reality apart and opening a portal straight to the dimension they get their powers from, the Warp, which is full of demonic entities that would love for nothing more then to kill everything they can get their hands on. Thus, the Space Marines just murder him on the spot since at this point, he's already dead and quickly at risk of becoming host to something even worse.
Back on the rebel ship, the Astartes squad gets word of this, but the orb triggers before they can do anything, and starts sucking them in to what looks to be the Warp (the crazy red/black space where we see the squad trapped by tentacles) before the entity that has caught them is struck by some form of black cloud, which could be the backlash of its brother being 'killed' when it was in the middle of possessing the Inquisitor.
This causes the entity to release the squad, and they get thrown from the Warp and arrive on an alien world. This world may or may not be the same world they were in orbit of, but it could be anywhere in the galaxy. The giant skeletal statues surrounding them could be the remains of the same alien civilisation responsible for creating the orbs, or something else entirely. There is some speculation that they belong to a race of aliens known as the Necrons, who once ruled the galaxy some 65 million years ago, and have a lot of death iconography. It is possible the orb was something made with their technology. Another theory is that the orbs are made by another ancient alien race known as the C'tan, who are cosmic 'star gods' that granted the Necrons much of their power.
Other theories include the orbs being a cage built to house a demon, and the entity that we see in the Warp is what the real form of the being we hear speak. There is also some people saying it could be one of the more unknown alien races of the setting, like the Umbra, who appear as spheres of black shadows, or the Yu'Vath, beings who were noted for having formless shapes made out of unusual bone like materials. Or it could just be something the creator of the series made up based on elements of pre-existing lore. There isn't a definite answer yet, just a lot of speculation. The universe is very big and there are a lot possibilities for what it could be.
The final clip of the various different Astartes of different colours could be the next focus of the series. The creator has already said he knows what he's going to do next, and its going to be even better (!) then this series. The very final clip is a Space Marine fighting what may be an alien race called the Eldar, as the shots fired at him seems consistent with the sort of weaponry the Eldar use. He is supported by a Predator Battle tank in what looks like an urban setting, based on the burning building seen behind them.

- i forgot to get the username of the dude who wrote this. sorry man
I noticed the entity that dragged then in has almost the identical features such as the face/body shape and dress, not sure what this helps exactly but I think they were thrown threw the warp like a stone.
K, so the creator aparently responded to an email from the guy who put parts 1-4 into a compliation video and said the orbs are his own creation.
Also its not necrons
Whatever the orbs are, they seem to be associated with technology more advanced than the Imperium's, because the two guardians protecting the vault in the previous episode were robotic, and presumably the orb is behind their construction.
They weren't just human psykers, apparently. For one thing, they were too tall to be normal humans -- as tall or taller than the 9 foot tall Astartes. And that shield they used to stop bolts was a stasis field of some sort generated by tech rather than psychic ability, which is why the marine was able to push his vibroknife through it to a point where the field simply ceased to be in effect.
These observations, together with the ornate and distinctly human facades of the orb's constructions (including the giant golden man under construction on the table), suggests the orbs are lost _human_ tech from the Dark Age of Technology.
So you say the idea they're hyper advanced AI is "rather unlikely", but as much or more evidence supports that idea as any other theory.
Still, it's also just as plausible that the orbs are 100% xeno tech, with said xeno species happening to be near-human in morphology. The creator has specifically said that the planet the marines are teleported to is the orbs' dead homeworld. That _could_ refer to one of the countless worlds colonized by humanity during the DAoT... or just as likely, not.
@@CognizantCheddar the astartes in this clip are just over 8ft, not nine. Not sure if typo.
P.s. what if the giant is being pulled apart to make the masks?
P.p.s. we can see in the first episode that the Inqusitor is taller than the avg. Human too. Fun fact.
Is everything with a Inquisition sigil must be an Inquisitor? Have you ever heard of Inquisitor's retinue? Have you seen Inquisition psykers? Inquisitor is more of a detective and judge. it is not the work for Inquisitor to connect to some heretical artifacts. They have people for that.
The clumps of blood from the vomit are actually his blood coagulating immediately. Its one of the reason his arm isn't bleeding and how Space Marines survive such horrific wounds. Their blood is made to do that.

Looks to me like they are literally pulled into the sphere by the tentacles, you just can't see them in real space. You'll note the main space marine character is pulled in first by his hand and then by his other hand when he goes for the pistol. And in the warp the tentacle is around his arm while the other is presumably destroyed by the plasma shot, his fellow astartes have tentacles wrapped around their waist and also appear to have been pulled towards the sphere by the waist.
Thats a cool piece of info!

A bit of summary from the comments of the original video:
The actual Yu'Vath are in the warp, and these spheres are their protection from warp entities and, at the same time, an anchor to the realspace. Two of them got captured by the Retributors/Inquisition (there is a second shackled sphere next to the first one, if you look closely). The third one is about to get captured as well. The Yu'Vath from the captured sphere warns his "brother" that Astartes cannot be mind-controlled (the main weapon of Yu'Vath), so he needs to break his protective sphere and escape throug warp, least he be captured as well. The second Yu'Vath is afraid to do so, so the first one suggests to capture the kill-team to use them as bait for warp entities. The second Yu'vath tries to do exactly that, but when he tries to teleport (probably to one of the Yu'Vath planets), he draws too much attention and gets eaten by a demon. The astartes get thrown out of the warp to the place the Yu'Vath was actually trying to get to.
Good thinking! It really seems to be so.
But it's not Yu'Vath, Animator said it's his own creation
imgur.com/a/9aTsv0W
My interpretation is the Psyker (what was left of him) killed the "Yu'Vath," or at least freed the Astartes. The Psyker gives off a smoky aura while listening in on the conversation, and whatever severs the "Yu'Vath's" tendrils also has that aura. Also, when the psyker is eavesdropping, the unbound orb is show above him and the bound orb, and the attack on the "Yu'Vath" comes from "below."
The third orb seem inactive and probably dead.
@@blackdragonxtra Yes, this is also a very popular theory in the comments. It might be correct, but i personally think that the balck smoke around the psyker just represents warp activity in general and does not correlate with the black "thing" that kills the Yu'Vath. You can also see that right before the attack on Yu'Vath, there's quite a number of those "things" floating around.
Another popular version is that it's the plasmagun shot from before - or how it looks in the warp.
I think the orbs that are speaking are the other way around.
When one orb said the "Astartes deny our touch" I think it meant those pulses that attempted to assault the Kill Team Astartes Minds. It's defenses to corrupt had failed.
Also I don't think it said "Take the alpha", it said "Take them", meaning the Astartes which is exactly what it did next. That's why the Inquisitor warns the Astartes in command.
Smoke is used to represent the Inquisitors power. The time frame isn't clear so what if the smoke that attacks the Yu Vath is the Inquisitor. His attack makes it "drop" the Astartes, but the Inquisitor is ultimately defeated and hence corrupted and put down.
I'd guess the planet the Marines appeared on where were the Yu Vath were trying to return.
Listen to the Inquisitor. The very next thing he says is "Withdraw them immediately". It's just muffled by his helmet.
I think you nailed it bang on Man
I actually really like this theory. Warp is known for it's Time Fuckery. It's possible when he clenched his hands together, he was attempting to attack the Xeno which lead to his death.
That's exactly what I took from the Astartes episode. There are dozens of us, dozens!
Well, I don't think that black fog that attacked the Yu'Vath was the inquisitor.
The first orb advises the second one to break its "seal" or "shield" in order to being able to "take them", which is possibly the orb's last line of defense or at least the last thing it could do to prevent itself form being captured like the first orb, since "the astartes defy our touch". The second orb answers "impossible, we will never survive.", which implies that this "seal" or "shield" the first orb speaks of functions as something like a cloaking device in the warp, similar to a gellar field.
Now, after the second orb does so and pulls in the astartes, we see that little scene where this black mist attacks the Yu'Vath. I guess that a predator of the warp noticed the Yu'Vath after it broke its shield and immediately went for its neck, so the concerns of the second orb were valid indeed.
What happened to the psyker before that could be seen as a little hint to what comes next. I think it's highly likely it wasn't the Yu'Vath toasting his mind but rather the same warp entity that also jumps the Yu'vath of the second orb afterwards. I mean, a Yu'Vath broke its shield and at the same time a obviously very powerful pysker lost his focus for a second in order to warn the nearby Astartes, so basically in the warp every nearby demonic entity would've seen two very bright lights flashing up. To a demon that's a goddamn neon billboard sign saying, "Hey yo, free meals over here!"
In terms of the planet at the end, I'm not quiet sure. Could be some sort of a pocket dimension, since it looks like some kind of a forsaken mausoleum and I'm having a hard time believing that a planet of a warptwisted civilisation such as the Yu'vath's could exist unnoticed by the Inquisition for so many years in the Calixis sector.
Space Marine: Oh great, it's a giant talking testicle
Testicle: I like this name...Testicle.
I'm sure this is a completely dead-end path, but I can't help but notice the iconography of an enormous skeleton resting on a similarly giant throne. Of course, there is little more than a visual similarity to The Emperor's own decayed form, and I could not even begin to hazard a guess at what the connection would be, should it exist... but, at the same time, I can't seem to overlook the resemblance.

@@pierpaolomercurio It's StarCraft all over again.
1:46 It's either a Tyrant class cruiser or Overlord class Battlecruiser, or perhaps a Dominator class cruiser if that's a Nova Cannon at the prow. It also has two full macrocannon batteries of four cannons each, whereas a Dauntless has six cannons on each broadside. A Dauntless also has a much thinner 'neck' or midships, with thinner 'wings' that are a little further forward and further ventral on the hull, which are tipped with oversized sensor arrays (or weapons, I don;t think its ever really been made clear either way). If you compare the hull layout of an imperial Cruiser (any type) to a Dauntless you will see that the ship depicted here is definitely a ship of the line.
Imperial battlecruisers don't possess the same augur masts as standard cruisers, so personally my money is on an Overlord.
Actually, now that i'm looking, this could be the 'Daemon Slayer' class, although it is unlikely as there is thought to only be one such ship, but it would kind of make sense. This class has no augur masts OR dorsal batteries, and has two macrocannon batteries for broadside, so visually it is a perfect match.
The Daemon Slayer class is equipped with a psychic cannon that can banish any daemon back to the warp, and against tyranid vessels it severs their link to the hive mind entirely. It would actually make sense for this to be the vessel depcited, as the Retributors are clearly specially equipped in the series for tackling these warp/psychic based entites.
perhaps the blast that destroys the entity in the warp is was actually fired from this vessel? It's a huge long shot, but it's kind of cool to theorize about.
@thelvadamee14 I very much agree with your assessment that it is a Dominator class cruiser. The entire design fits the shape and size of an Imperial Cruiser from the standard plastic model in Battlefleet Gothic. The lack of dorsal sensor masts is certainly not a justification for classifying the ship as a CL. None of the “official” Light Cruisers from GW or Forge World so closely mimic the cruiser style.
Also you can clearly see in the end the marine is on a pedestal surrounded by other pedestals. The perspective makes them seem smaller, but if you look closely, you can see other marines warping into the same area on different pedestals to the right. Very strange

The golden statue isn't being constructed. It's being deconstructed and the material is used to create the masks.
No
That is possible, though it looks like the material the statue is on was still being brought in, like to feed construction. I figured the skulls or masks were focus devices to shape the construction.
Nice idea. They (orbs) are cornered and hunted fo rvery long time. Supplies must be scarce.
Who knows. Something must be special about it though, otherwise they wouldn't need to make masks from this specific material.

@Alex Davila sounds like slaanesh to me, off with his head.
I think you nailed it in the head. The only problem is that the last comment by the Yu vath Ball isn't "take the alpha". It's "take them with you" also in the muffled inquisitor voice he seems to say "Recall them immediately "
@Andrei Skobtsov I believe the inquisitor is saying “recall your men immediately.” Not that it matters.
Also - the blackness in the vision of dying/screaming astartes is the same blackness that attacks the entity in the warp. The tentacle thing zooming away is the same species as the sitting skeletons on the thrones - has the same tentacle/horns on their shoulders, etc.
I'm pretty sure the orb said "take them all", not "take the Alpha".

Because he sure didn't take just one

This is a cool theory, though the inquisitor's body was definitely made into swiss cheese before the Kill Squad got the retreat order (and subsequently sucked into the sphere). Psyker-ing from beyond the physical world?
@@damark376 Maybe this happend simultaneously the orb told the other to suck em and it began imediately while we got vision with the orb
@@proxy90909 for sure, though just before they get sucked (lol) you see the squad leader (I presume) turn his head to listen to an incoming order no?
here is a detail that contradicts/expands your theory: the possessed incquisitor speaks muffeled words under his helmet at 4:45 these words are the same words the orb sais before it begins to absorb the astartes killsquad. this suggjests that by then the inquisitor fully under controll of the orb.
Per above, the Inquisitor informs the Captain (4:27) to 'recall them immediately', and is very shortly thereafter dropped. He's dead. Shortly AFTER that in the timeline, at 5:08, the kill squad gets passed on the message to 'get out'. Then the orb absorbs them etc... but the Inquisitor is dead already.
An interesting detail on the golden golem, is that there seems to be no internal structure or frame beyond the veiny coils peeking out from the incomplete bodyparts, essentially meaning that most of if not the entire golem is hollow, when normally constucting something of that size that is supposed to ve animate, one would usually require a sturdy metal skeleton. In fact the skeleton would be the first thing built and the external frame and plating would then be mounted on the skeleton, it is possible that the power of the spheres could substitute this.
What I love about this is the effort the creator put in to not only get the lore exactly right, but also to use that lore to throw enough red herrings and obscure hints to leave the rest of us guessing what it all means and what exactly is going on for years afterwards.

I'd love to hear your thoughts about this guy's take on the last scene: "I'm losing my mind after realizing the Astartes standing on screen is actually on those giant pillars around him, and his squad it teleporting on top of each one (And their barely noticeable in size!)"
And also this dude's recap:
"0:23
Captain and Sargent observe boarding action from their ship , them move to oversee Orb1's chamber
psyker is ready to interface with orb 1 as part of operation
orb1 is locked down with huge psykick inhibitors
the Retributors have dealt with this before, possibly a few times as they have a plan and protocols in place
this scene also indicates the action we are seeing is parallel in time to the rest of the action, not linear
1:47
the squad moves into chamber2, passes a talos golem being that was being constructed (by the renegade psykers killed last episode)
on the left and right we see psykick amplification batteries (the skulls with spines floating) this indicates this construction was taking huge amounts of psykick power
this means if that body were to be finished and inhabited, it would have been insanely powerful and tough, they intended to give the body to orb2
2:27
the astartes resist psykick attack from orb2 multiple times, they have most certainly dealt with type of thing before
3:07
the squad deploys psykick inhibitors, no doubt have radioed for techpriests to begin installing permanent versions (as seen on orb1)
3:42
the orbs communicate with each other
4:07
the inquisitorial psyker observes the conversation
orb1: We have all failed, the astartes defile all they touch, you must return, break your seal
orb2: we will never survive
orb1: YOU MUST! (survive), take them with you (the squad)
4:29
psyker warns the captain, who sends the tactical marine to send word
psykers presence is revealed to orb1 and he is attacked for dropping his guard, he fights back
psyker opens himself to the power of the warp to fight off the orb1, gets a prophetic vision and looses control, is taken over/corrupted/goes rogue or all 3
(side note our psykers power is black smoke, the blue divine is pure warp taking him over)
is INSTANTLY put down by the Captain and Sargent
5:05
the squad receives the warning, but it is too late, the creature in the orb2 is already doing its thing
5:12
we see the creature inside the orb, all tentacles and faces, says chaos to me.. but im not 100% its powerful, whatever it is
it breaks down its seal (the orb) as a part of its escape, trapping the squad inside it
5:41
point blank high powered plasma round.. didn't go well, not a bad move considering how desperate a situation this is
6:10
we see the creature for its true organic form, for just a brief second as it has the squad tethered and is transporting them somewhere
6:12
in the warp, we see the creature in its divine blue glory, it gets hit by a black shadow and is pushed off screen
i think this was the last act of our psyker, who desperately tried to save the marines by trying to shove the creature off them.. we know how that ended at 4:56
6:22
the squad is dumped out on a set of pillars, in a strange land surrounded by what looks like ancient kings, this place sets my hair on end, i cannot tell if it is real or the warp
we see our heros face and watch is vomited blood instantly coagulate
as the scene fades out, the drumbeats line up with the arrival of the rest of the squad members on the platforms
at least in this new hell, they will have each other"
It was Naduk Kerensky, right?
I think the orbs are soul lifeboats for the yu'vath. Aim was to make these and hide their souls in them awaiting a time when the imperium was gone (they were wiped out but it was noticed there were a lot less than expected). Think of a cross between the golden throne, necron stasis and eldar soulstones, a tiny demon free patch of the warp a Yu'Vath can sit in for as long as it likes.
The Yu'Vath on the ship gets told to break his seal and clearly thinks it wont go well, which it doesn't. because a soul wth no body in the warp gets eaten rapidly, as we see. The process of enslaving the marines isnt completed and once the essense of the Yu'Vath that was trying to entrall them disappears, they are left where the Yu'Vath last had an actual presence - the place where they all went to create the orbs. All you see are the withered husks of the Yu'vath bodies they didnt need any more.
@@TheKorbi You mean the guy who wrote it? I don't know, it was a comment under another video about the series. Just a random fan I think.
@@carlchallinor4933 I like that explanation, but apparently we're all wrong. The creator of the series has stated that the orbs are an original creation and not supposed to be anything already in WH40K lore.
Funnily enough I'd literally just read what he wrote and its confirmed they end up on the things homeworld. Could be a new species that operates a similar way but I cant see it being much different now.
-I've only played 40k a few times and have never owned my own army.
-I've never read any of the Warhammer books.
-I've only played a few console/pc Warhammer games and the only ones I've beaten is Space Marine and a Dawn of War game. They were good, but not great.
-I've only played 1 campaign of the fantasy and 1 campaign the 40k table top games.
-I've tried multiple mobile 40k games and the only one I enjoyed was Freeblade, but I got out of it pretty quickly.
So I have no ties to 40k, but I find myself reading about it all the time. The lore in 40k is vast and rich! It has sci fi ideas I've seen before, but it also adds some great ideas. The world is just so dark!
I remember reading about the orks and thinking they were a lot like the zerg, flood, unlead, ect as they throw numbers at you. I mean they get stronger when they fight, they spawn like crazy, and love to kill. Then I found out about the Chaos and how things work differently in the Warp and how they wanted to do spread their chaos taint. I though how scary fighting them would be. Then I read about the Necrons who traded their souls for immortality and want to restore their dynasty. It's crazy how they practically defeated 2 God class races. The thought of them all awake would be terrifying, even more so as they're undead and feel no emotions. Then I read about the Tyranids and was blown away as this race is like the zerg from Starcraft, but scarier. You can't reason with them, all they care about is their survival. They will come to your planet and kill everything that is alive and use every ounce of biomass to grow stronger and evolve.
I remember thinking how scary the white walkers and their wights in Game of Thrones are because every battle they grow stronger by bringing back the dead. The Tyranids make that army look like something you'd see on Disney XD. The idea of being turned an mindless undead servant and let loose on your friends is quite a scary though. Having your biomass split up and going to legions of insect like aliens to further their evolution for which they use to kill anything with life is simply horrifying.
If I got anything wrong please forgive me as I'm new to the 40k world and lore 40k lore is just awesome!
At the beggining of the first episode it says that this is taking place in M39, when the Yu'vath were "destroyed"
Time stamp?????
@@jrr7031 opening panel of the first episode, thou it takes place 150 years after they officially went extinct.
@@leonardomarquesbellini going to check it out right meow!
Well, for one, not all the Yu'vath were destroyed, just the empire. Some may have survived, and their artifacts sure did.
@@asaenvolk I'm pretty sure the official work has them being xenocided by mass exterminatus. Ofc, there could always be remnants, as 150 years is almost nothing in 40K, the marine kill team leader could looks to be either 120 or 200 years im service of the chapter.
I think it said, "You must take them.", them being the Astartes, The Inquisitor also said something along the lines of "Recall them immediately!" The Astartes in question were then immediately bad touched into the no no dimension. I believe the Inquisitor was essentially turned into a bomb that would've opened a portal into massive-fuck-off-super-hell, and the Astartes were justified in their quick response, to absolutely bool on that fool. I agree with the theory behind the masks, as any psyker worth their bolt shot to the head would probably have used smite on the Astartes, as for the giant gold man, it would be a lot easier to rule over men if you looked like a man. That being said you could argue that the C'tan certainly didn't look like Necron'tyr, or certain ancient human deities certainly don't look human, or fully human, but I did say 'easier', people would worship a toaster if it started saying limericks (mechanicum). Yu'vath relics are regarded as highly dangerous during warp travel, as they can open holes into gellar fields and we all know what happens next.
I believe the Inquisitors vision right before he warned the captain/veteran seargeant was metaphorical in nature, with the Astartes standing in the "palm of its hand" being flayed/absorbed/stripped. This then made the Inquisitor realize that they were not in control at all, and broke his focus, to warn them. An inquisitor would happily throw away a kill team so it makes little sense why he would break focus and risk demonic possession unless something far worse than simply loosing some marines was at stake.
The Orbs do say "break your shield/seal" to which the other say "we will never survive", meaning that they were afraid of what would happen if they lowered their defenses to act on the marines/Inquisitor. I do not think they meant that defeating the marines and inquisitor was a sure defeat, I think they were afraid of what the warp would do to them. The do so however, and go on the offensive on both the marines and the Inquisitor. The inquisitor is struck, but refocuses and struggles hard to contain the Orb, but pay close attention to what happens next. The Inquisitor is struck by some sort of feedback, triggering a complete fail-cascade on his end, resulting in him being unceremoniously removed from the equation by the Astartes at hand. That feedback however is reminiscent of that happened to the psyker twins when one of them died. I believe the Orb that was combating the Inquisitor was destroyed by a warp entity shortly after it lowered its defences, and that this wrecked the Inquisitors defence along with it. Simultaneoulsy the marines are taken. If you look closely you can see several shades drifting in the background of the warp scene. One of the shades destroys the Orb entity now that its defences are down, and the feedback shoots through the tentacles and into the marines teleporting them god knows where.
>to absolutely bool on that fool
Lmao
To me it sounds like. "You MUST! Take the other(s)?"
@@carlchristianlindalen9311
"bool on that fool"
I'll have to use that.
@@crow9149 I wish I was the one who wrote it but that was the OP Jacob Yin's phrasing m8. :D
I find this amusingly close to how I portrayed Yu Vath tech in my 40k rpg game years ago for a Yu Vath resurgence arc.
No idea where the astartes ended up at the end of the video but wherever it is it gives me soooooo many vibes of Korriban from Star Wars.
29:28 I'm pretty sure the blood is partially coagulated because his Larramann cells are already in action, clogging the wounds caused either warp exposure or the orb itself.
Good point!
...or blowing his arm off with his plasma pistol
@@Purple0nion yeah but that wouldn't make you bleed in your stomach.
@@genos876 Or your lungs. Hard to tell if he's puking or hacking with how quick he does it. But this is an Astartes... they do everything at 11.
Im not gonna lie, I suffer from trypophobia or however you spell it, freaked me out a little bit
That ending in the valley is straight up a Beksinski painting.
Reminded me of the final scene in the Tarkovsky film Nostalghia.
Beksiński seems to be an ideal inspiration material for w40k art.
Very underrated comment!
just spent 2 hours diving into him thanks for the cultured comment.
@@johnreeves3876 I looked him too. What an inspiring artist! Thanks to op comment.
That ending scene brought on vibes of the emperor of mankind sitting on his throne
I just love it - the astartes five piece all in one is great
Ha! I was waiting for this analysis.
Finally it came.
I love how his art, motion and attention to detail increased as the series progressed. Every single part is better than the other.
You can literally see it.
Arch: I know what is happening!
UA-cam commenters: We'll see about that...
I enjoy everyone's theories. Bet the creator is laughing at everyone's, "I KNOW I KNOW!" Lol.
@@ItalianRain2 I decided to go and email him and he says he's making his own supercut, as well as thinking about a video with commentary to unveil some secrets
Considering the retributors dont care for glory and attention it would make sense that the chapter master is not covered in insane ornamentation.
thank you for not waiting until the literal end of the video to say what you think orb is, was honestly worried you would pull that shit
