Space Marine after losing hand, pulled into warp, and stranded on xeno world: I hate Mondays
Oh God, now I need to find a meme of that. 🤣
metallicaman4able dude. That’s just Tuesday for a space marine. It’s all good. He will live
@@Airier there is an announcment on the channel Chapter Master Valrak with a clip from Astartes 5 (made into a gif) that is a good meme, and could b used for many other captions
@@dragons0914 he will live, he removed his helmet
xabe Ik all badass mcs do that
It is not "them" but "him". It is the work of one man.
That's crazy. Although in the end card he did mention hiring enough people if patreon gets enough support.
And that's just insane. Can you imagine how much content he can push out if there is an actual team behind this? 😮
@@Airier The real crime here is that he isn't hired by Games Workshop yet.
@@ShinigamiSamaH It's better for him to stay indipendent and do his own thing imo, being hired by them would mean he would not have as much creative freedom as he has now
Like, at the moment he already earns minimum 10000$ a month from Patreon
@@gian.4388 The drawback is that his work will remain a fan project, and still liable to get in trouble for using the IP. Fair Use or not, you know people have been hit for so much less on UA-cam. All it take is one disgruntle corporate asshole to start some shit.
He said he made it up for this and that they were transported to its homeworld.
That dude's blood he spit is actually super accurate with space marines, they have enhance healing meaning their blood clotte so much faster, those "Cherios" were a good depiction of his blood actually already going up to heal.
Laraman cells in action
I find it weird that 'blood' goes from thickness, sorta red, to almost translucent and then the red bits turn from red to almost black in seconds.
Last i checked, blood isnt absorbed by stone, so where did the red color go? blood doesnt work that way xD
@@MacKnight into the different "Cherios" like forms, to clotte the red cells do that, reason why we don't see it is that 1 we regenerate like humans not badass bio engineered super soldiers and 2 because it was mixed with spit and mouth secretions (I think Astartes spit and mouth secretions actually are acidic as hell/ can begin the digestion of almost anything.)
@@Virtual2Viking partly correct. but they dont 'spit' acid normaly, they have to stumulate the Betcher's Gland to make the acid. this acid melts just about anything, even stone. The stones dont melt, no acid.
And no, their normal stomach doesnt melt anything, they have a secondary stomach that can however, the Preomnor.
And then they have the stomach that can make them read whatever they ingest, be it blood, brain or whichever from organic material, that make them see parts of the memories of that they ate. Organ is called the Omophagea.
@@johnisaacfelipe6357 Do you mean "Xells at work" XD
According to the description of the part 5 Astarte's,he says "it's the end of this chapter" suggesting he'll continue the story of this project which gets me so damn hyped!!!!!!
Or does he mean it is the end of that chapter of space marines. Now the story continues on....
@@DurzoBlunts Just go to the Astartes Channel and just look at the reuploaded part 5 video. You will see that there is a pinned comment of the creator saying that he will make more of these War Hammer short bit videos.
Ofcourse he will he have 8,823 Patreons supporting him and counting that with the minimum $2 pledge he get $17646 a month. I'm sure he want to keep that up because he sure as hell has the skills to do it, so we will 100% see something more unless Games workshop stops him.
So from my guess here:
We’re watching two different points in the same story.
The Inquisitor on his ship along with a contingent of veterans from the Reclaimers Chapter (Astartes own Personal Chapter No1 - as we see several more at the end) & the Astartes Strike Team on the rebel ship.
The Orb is from my guess Yu’vath - due to the similar design and abilities it has to what is described of the Yu’vath.
After sticking the orb with psychic connectors, it allowed the Inquisitors who has a captured one of these Yu’vath on his ship, to listen into a conversation both Yu’vath were having - the INQ one talking to the AST one about it needing to sever itself form the Astartes grasp. It is here that it also discovers the Inquisitor listening in when he alerts the Reclaimer Captain to retreat his Strike Team.
Needing the ability to escape, it attempts to take host the Inquisitor and succeeds... only to get smashed and cleansed by the two Reclaimers.
At the same time this happens, the orb after dropping its conversation, turns on the Astartes Strike Team and attempts to sever itself from them by pulling them into a warp based dimension of its own creation - since Yu’vath have no living material bodies besides the orbs, they are forced to still reside within the warp.
After absorbing the Astartes, it is holding onto them when - again guessing - it is killed by the psychic backlash of its brother dying - we can guess these two are pared in a way as from the vision it shows several of the cult psykers from EP4, and from what we can glimpse from them they work in bonded pairs (as to why both cut off apposing arms and share a psychic link).
After being killed, it teleports them to a location of the Valley of the Forgotten Kings - we see hundreds of large alien like beings sitting upon thrones in a large valley - The Astartes strike team teleported their because... well that’s still needs to be speculated. But we do know it’s not just him as before the scene cuts away, we see several more flashes on the pillars in front of him - guessing that it’s his other brothers appearing.
As for the body, i can have two guesses:
1. The metal body is a old age man of iron that the rebels are pulling apart and using to craft their mask from and feed/cover the Yu’vath with (least likely)
2. The body is being constructed from the same materials as the rebels mask. The reason they’d do this is that Yu’vath - as I’ve said before - have no real presence in the material world, only the immaterium. However, if a body was to be constructed for it and it posses it like it’s brother did with the inquisitor - I’m guessing the reason the Inquisitor acted like that was due to the Yu’vath being to strong/much for the human body to posses as such it was probably burning him out from the inside.
However, a body created for one out of unknown material that psykers use. Now that may be more fulfilling.
They have 2 orbs and they were talking to each other :
Orb 1(inquisition) "who is there"
Orb 2 "I have failed brother"
O1 "We have all failed"
O2 "The Astartes deny our touch"
O1 "We must return"
O2 "Break your shield"
O1 "Impossible, we will not survive"
O2 "You must take them"
Then the O2 starts absorbing the Astartes to transport them somewhere.
The Inquisitor says to the Leader "Recall them immidiately" before getting the feedback loop.
So the 5 Astartes are on the rebel ship where O2 is, while the Inquisitor is on the Astartes ship with O1.
But as to what the spheres are - no idea. Doesn't seem to be demonic. They won't talk like this between themselves.
Doubt it's C'tan. Maybe is something we just have never seen before :)
bump
cl1cka sorry if my explanation is a mess, but yeah that’s what I was trying to imply with them being two point running simultaneously.
As for the orbs, like I said I believe them to be Yu’vath as their orb like appearance and psychic powers highly resemble what is described of them in books.
In addition, Yu’vath are not deamons but chaos alined xenos that inhabit the immaterial realm. They are similar to deamons but are just xenos that have adapted to their home space.
@@reecedignan8365 just read up on Yu'vath and i have to agree, they seem likely to be what these orbs are. I like your theory here, but im wondering what the almost oriental statue thingy is at 8:14 ?
Good explanation Brother, *FOR THE EMPEROR!!*
That little bit at the end where we saw another Chapter fighting with tank support against something that had what looked like Splinter Rifles is a sneak preview of his next project. But Astartes is over now.
Conversation of the two orbs:
- Who is here?
- I have failed brother.
- We have all failed, the Astartes deny our tuch. You must return. Break your seal.
- Impossible, we will never survive.
- You must. Take the Alpha.
for the last words i hear "take the others".
I hear "Take Them", which makes more sense when referring to the Astartes squad.
Alpha never made sense to me in this context.
The creator confirmed it was You must! Take them!
@@l.d-b3465 well, it refers to the fact the psyker we see is most likely an alpha class.
@@alexradford5446 - ... Alpha class psykers can snap Titans over their knee. One that powerful, aside from being indescribably rare, would likely have better things to do.
The Deathwatch is the other group of Astartes teamed up with the inquisition. Not a chapter per say but veteran kill teams drawn from other chapters
... I don't know how I completely forgot about them.
I'm even contemplating buying some of their models for kill team and I completely forgot about them. 😶
@@Airier And it is possible that other chapters have such ties. I am looking at you red scorpians.
@@Airier they're really really good for kill team and their box comes with a million weapons for customization highly suited for the game and even a cape. I might suggest just buying the start collecting if you're down for it but otherwise a box of 5 will do you well.
@@antonymash9586 good luck trying to find an open hobby shop though
Preview shot has a helmet with a 1st company's Crux Terminator. Sign of honour for veterans that shows that they are allowed to wear terminator armour.
best 40k fic ever
A few things: those "balls" aren't c'tan, since the Warp is an anathema to them - the proverbial "warp fuckery" is one the few things that can harm them. And the balls are clearly warp-connected (the scene where the kill team enters the room and there is a "glass breaking"? That's ice (most propably), you can also see how the exhaust of the power armors condence as they move on, another sign of low temperature . Both signs of warp energies at play.
The statue is made from something very conspicuously similar to the "psychic hoods" the two psykers wore, and that you can see all around the statue - someone mentioned also, that they may have DISMANTELED the statue, in order to use it as a material for those hoods.
The Astartes on the Imperium ship are the vetaran (1st company propably). The guy with the mantle can be a captain (hence the golden embellishments).
The balls themselves seem to be Yu'Vath. Psychic, warp-tainted xenos, that had a run-in with the imperium, they basically enslave others with the warp-fuckery powers (hence the psychic "blasts" you see as the kill team gets near the ball) - it tried to dominate the Astartes, but failed. Again, during the dialoge between both Yu'Vath one of them said: "The Astartes deny our touch", meaning: they cannot be dominated. The other humans on the ship however... may as well be psychic-slaves. So they got the Emperors Mercy from the hands and bolters of the kill team. Just like the inquisitorial psyker, who basically sacrificed himself to warn his "guards" about the plan to snatch the kill team members by the "free" Yu'Vath as it tried to escape - "You must take them!" part in the dialogue (one of the theories for this is, that the escape would lead through the warp, and the astartes were to be kind of sacrificial insurance, in case any ot the warp's native creatures would show up - just toss an astartes at them and run away). In the end all that backfired, as before the Yu'Vath could do anything it was blasted (killed possibly) by the inquisition psyker (pay atention to the black "mist" that blasted the Yu'Vath - that was how the psykers powers manifested as he started to eavesdrop on the xenos. He got possesed, but just before that disrupted the fleeing Yu'Vath, saved all of the kill team members (you can see the teleportation flashes on the pillars as the scene pans to the wide shot), but the veterans on the ship did the thing they had to - and ended him.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic...
The only moment we see "warp fuckery" is when they are teleported and even then necron and C'Tan can do that too. For all we know, it can be one of types of Halo artifacts or most likely a new thing.
Moreover, creator spoke up himself. It's not C'Tan, BUT *it's not Yu'Vath either.* ArchWarhammer is NOT a creator of this series, suck it up.
@David Hytha 1)read my comment to the end, you fool:)
2)and as I've also said, it's not Yu'vath either. Creator(ie supreme canon) said that himself. Arch was wrong.
Arch had a pretty good analyzation about it, linking the orb to the yu'vath, who utilized the warp and enslaved others.
The white helmet is used by many (but not all) chapters to denote veterans. Also note that the other veteran with the Captain (the one who shoots the psyker) is wearing the older Mk VI pattern armour, easily identified by the "beak" on the helmet, in contrast to everyone else who is wearing the newer Mk VII pattern. It's probably what he was issued when he was first promoted to a full Battle Brother, and if it's served him this long, he sees no need to change his gear at this point, when he's just gotten used to it.
A few chapters still make extensive use of the much older Mk IV armour, as although it's less capable than newer models, it is much more heavily armoured, and is more suited to fighting whatever variety of Xenos scum is prevalent in their particular corner of the Hell that is the Galaxy
I actually thought the emblem on the helmet was the Inquisition symbol, but people let me know it was actually representative of the 1st Company.
@@Airier No, the symbol on the helmet is the Crux Terminatus, signifying that he is qualified to wear Terminator amour. Qualified Marines will also usually be part of the 1st Company (you might find a few serving as senior officers or NCOs in other Companies though, or in other posts such as Chaplains, Librarians or Apothecaries not necessarily attached to a specific Company), but not all 1st Company Marines will be Terminator qualified (most Chapters only have a limited supply of Terminator suits, and they are rarely deployed, as they are increasingly scarce, and are also holy relics of the Chapter).
The Inquisitorial symbol is the "I" device seen on the back of the psykers robe, as part of his rosary as he is meditating in front of the captured orb, and very briefly in part 1 when the Marine is shown purifying his bolter, also as part of his personal rosary
Discoveries of me and my friends;
1. There is a second Dead orb inside the same chamber as the Inquisitorial guy is in, cables hanging dead from it. Right side.
2. glass sound on the floor when they enter 02. Ice frost, probly due to warp energy bleedout.
3. the skulls and spines around the giant gold guy. Its the same as the 2 psykers they faced outside 02.
4. the orbs are remnant warp weaponry left by the Yu'vath empire from the 39th Millennium. (Check out 'Rouge Trader')
5. Yu'vath was found during the Angevin Crusade in the Calyx Expanse M39.322, they are a warp corrupted xeno empire. Everything they is make constructed of a crystalline or ceramic material that resembles natural or fossilised bone. There is word around tho that they aint Yu'Vath by the creator but i've yet to see any proof of that claim.
6. the patterns on the orbs is the same as the masks of the psykers from ep4.
7. the 'sticks' they shove into the orbs is made by the Inqusition.
8. the orb inside the inqusitorial vessel is communicating with the orb on the ship the Astartes are on. there are 2 active orbs. the Inquisitorial agent notice this.
9. Red top diagram mesurement of something increase alot when it goes active.
10. 'Who is here?' 'I failed brother' 'We have all failed' 'The Astartes defy our touch' 'You must return' 'Break your seal' 'Thats impossible, we'll never survive that' 'You must. Take the others.'
11. Inqusitorial agent; 'RECALL THEM IMMEDIATELY!'
12. Orb; At Last!. (Cables then spark and line goes into the agent). Starts speaking xeno i suspect.
13. Orange backlight, most likely lava, the guys standing around is the same as the 2 they faced in ep4.
14. Back on heretic ship, Sgt. turns his head to the side, most likely getting the recall order.
15. Tentacle creature looks like Asura from indian mythology. The female head on top, symbol looks very similar to thats on the small green screen at 0.22 in the original video.
16. Symbols on the orb appears on the sgt hard when its getting aborbed.
17. Asura looking dude glows blue and Tentacles. You can see 'black' things 'swimning around in there? before one comes from below to eat/attack the blue guy. it breaks and the marines shatter.
18. Blue tentacle looks like it goes into the marines, you can faintly see blue light in the sgt abdomen when he reappears.
19. Red eyelens is dead, armour or helmet has lost power.
20. Strange patterns appear in the marines spit and bile. some say its blood, i say its part of the creature.
21. Giant Skeleton on thrones and such might be Yu'Vath verisons of Titans, or its dead kings/emperors. or the original Yu'vath was that large.
22. You can see the other astartes appear on the other pillars around the area in their own 'teleportish' flashes, you see 3 of them clearly, 1st is to the right side outside panel, you bearly see it.
23. The giant skeletons on the thrones, from the back of their skulls go our spine looking things that looks like what they guys in ep4 had.
24. 1st marine after video, creators chapter, 'Retributors'. 2nd marine is 'Angel Sanguine'. 3rd marine is 'Void Dragons', fanmade chapter by patrons. 4th marine is 'Deaths Hand', fanmade chapter by patrons.
25. The weaponry that attack the hands of death marine is an Eldar shuriken carbine of some sort.
26. Thats a predator tank with anti infantry cannon.
Thats all. Feel free to add any findings.
"you must take the other one" ????? How deaf can people be
@@Tuhkasieni Ask 10 people what they say and you get 10 diffrent answers.
I'm not a patron so I can't confirm, but people have said that the creator mentioned the orbs are something he came up with himself - so not Yu'vath, if that's true. It's worth noting that it doesn't *have* to be something that already exists in 40k lore - there's plenty of dead, ancient civilizations and weird xenos/warp creatures, and entire regions of space meant to be largely unexplored and unexplained so that things like this *could* be used in storytelling (like the Halo Stars and Ghoul Stars).
The "black things" are reminiscent of the shadows surrounding the Inquisitor when he "taps in" to the orb - it might be him somehow saving the marines, though it could just as easily be related to the creature in the orb, or be unexplained phenomena or a warp predator of some kind.
The "patterns" in the blood are blood clots he's coughing up. Space Marine blood clots much faster than normal human blood, so that they can recover from wounds more quickly.
With regards to number 20, he's puking his blood and it looked weird because it was clotting. These soldiers are enhanced so that if ever they are wounded their blood clots immediately to prevent death by over bleeding.
@@Shadow92597 I thought so too, but the patterns of the 'clotts' looks like the blue glowing patterns on the orb.
it's been beautiful watching your journey from being curious about the "if the emperor had a text to speech device" series to an exited fan that instantly got ideas about what some of the things might be. What's even better is you not only watched till the end unlike a lot of others but you also understood a lot more. That is one of the many reasons i love watching you react to all the things of the internet.
The little “tink” was psychic frost.
Dude.You are INCREDIBLY perceptive. i've watched this series through. 10-15 times. You picked up details it took me 5+ viewings to see.
Remember Arier, the inquisition has the authority to go up to any Astartes chapter to commission their service for their work. Not sure that works so well with the Space Wolves anymore, but my point stands. So technically Grey knights and Death Watch aren’t the only Astartes they can call on. The Astartes in this show are more than likely a successor chapter operating in that corner of space, thus giving the creator flexible room to work new lore based in the 40k universe. And don’t forget helmets painted different from the main armor usually denotes veteran rank members.
The I on the Marine's head inside that symbol denotes he is of the Chapter's first company. Possibly the Chapter Master or at least an important Captain of the Retributors. While most chapter elite are embalmed in more livery and gold than you can shake a stick at, the Retributors seem to be very conservative with their uniforms, making it more likely than usual for it to be the Chapter Master.
The creator plans on making an anthology series of space marines, this is the end of the Retributors Arc, but he said he might do something with them in the future. The after credits shows other chapters, mostly fanon, that he plans on working with. The inquisitor is most likely of the Ordo Xenos or Ordo Hereticus, which means no Grey Knights, the spheres are suspected to be of Yu'Vath origin, watch Arch Warhammer's video for more info. The glass cracking was Hoarfrost, a sign of warp influence and psychic phenomena.
Convo between orbs;
"Who is there?"
"I have failed brother, we have all failed. The Astartes deny our touch. You must return, break your seal."
"Impossible. We will never survive. You must take them."
Inquisitor: "Recall them immediately!" *dies*
The Yu'vath were a xenos race that were corrupted and twisted by the warp, but were interestingly enough not Chaos Worshipers, they instead created a massive slave empire that was quashed during the Great Crusade, their technology is said to incorporate the vile energies of the warp with their own alien technology. It is rumored that many of their artifacts could even possess Daemonic Entities, while the brave and the foolish amongst the adepts of Mars who were allowed to examine such relics claim that their machine spirits... are wrong... if you get my drift. Some relics of the Yu'Vath can even open pinholes into a ship's Gellar Field, and during a warp storm, pinholes become... portals... You already know how that would end. The Astartes kill team was immediately bad touched into the no no dimension, where it is hypothesized that whatever was happening to them was interrupted, by what was most likely a warp entity, others claim that it went exactly as planned. If you look at the other plinths in the desert, you can see teleportation flashes of the Sergeant's, One Hand McGrand, team coming into real space with him, onto what is potentially an ancient Yu'Vath world. It isn't the warp, because they were able to survive longer than two seconds without being skull fucked by Daemons.
Just another reason why I love Warhammer, it is much MUCH more than just the tabletop, with thousands upon thousands of years worth of lore and history, from the obscure to the mundane, from the interesting to the outright horrifying. I have been watching your videos ever since you started watching TTS, and I am glad that even you and I have more to learn about this universe, for in the grim darkness of the 41st millenium, there is mostly lore.
3:52 The Corvus Pattern Helmet (aka Beakie) is a Mark 6, and one of the newer patterns available to the Astartes. They were highly favoured by the Raven Guard (hence "Corvus" for their Primarch, Corvus Corax) as the pattern of armour they came with was lighter than previous iterations with an advanced sensor suite, which perfectly complemented the Raven Guards' stealthy, hit-and-run ambush tactics.
The orbs are Yu vath, ancient powerful psychic xenos who worship chaos, Astarte's is set in M39 when a crusade was led against their empire, the construct looks like its made of the psyker mask material which augmets their abilities and was probably being built to be possessed by the yu vath, the planet the Astarte's is teleported to feats the description of the yu vath architecture, although their common shape is of this orbs they can alter it at will or possess other living beings or those sort of costructs
It is more likely a C'tan, and several facts support this theory more.
The Orb looks strongly like living metal, which is what C'tan bodies were usually made of. The Golden "Statue" is also very similar to what the C'tan used as host bodies back in the day. When the Marines get sucked into the Orb, what we see doesn't have to be the Warp. The C'tan were known to be able to bend the ever living shit out of reality. Lastly the World they land in has a strong Necrontyr/Necron vibe, too strong to be a coincidence.
@@CedricBassman its definitely the yu vath, and one of the stronger reasons is there is such little lore on them besides they being orb like Xenos who worship chaos and have a grand like architecture and warp fuckery technology, there being so little lore gives him lots of room to make stuff up without having the "but muh lore neckbeards" breathing down is neck for every little inconsistency, and there are images of the yu vath which look literally like the ones on the animation, they are also know to build humanoid constructs to possess or bind demons to, the timeline is no coincidence eitheir

@@alexmag342 The Yu Vath themselves are not orbs, but much of their technology (including their powerful unmanned ships) are spherical. The Yu Vath worshiped Chaos and were prone to massive and rapid mutation. I'm sticking with C'tan, given the literal necropolis at the end (plus there is no physical description of the Necrontyr prior to their subjugation by the C'tan). warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Yu%27Vath
Arch Warhammer has just put his thoughts out on it. He makes a very good case for this being Yu Vath, too.
You keep saying things like "definitely". You don't know jack. Yu'Vath is a strong contender for the right explanation, but so is C'tan shards. It's also entirely possible it's something Astartes made up just for this story, because the 40k universe is a galaxy full of insanity, and is deliberately mysterious and open-ended, allowing for other creative weirdness like this to happen within it.
But your assurances that it "definitely is" one thing or another is utterly unwarranted. Chill. Share your theories, sure, but chill on the rest, dude.
As for the end:
We see three chapters:
1. Well be following a Blood Angels Successor chapter for one story.
2. Another from an unknown legion - the dragon can come from several chapter/legions traditions as such not easy to pick out (tho the symbol does look the the one used by the Draconis Combine in Battletech Lore, just black. Kind of cool if it is based off that)
3. Now for the fun one. It’s either a Iron Hand Successor (very simple chapter symbol resembling their founders) or... its an Imperial Fists successors who symbol is the boney hand of Royal Dorn (yellow armour, with blue pauldron’s, and a white boney hand. Definitely IF successors). And the Astartes we see receives a burst of sharp blue tinted metallic objects that imbed in his pauldron like spikes... or shurikans. IH/IF vs Eldar for this one.
Turns out the chapter see saw after the Retibutors were the Angels Sanguine of the Blood Angels, the Dragons of the Void, probably Salamanders, and Hands of Death, probably Imperial Fists.
Jackson Worthman I wouldn’t say salamanders as the Salamanders are one of the only Legion not to have produced successor chapter due to the attrition they suffered during the heresy and the plundering of their planet before they returned.
Man I remember when airier was only at 1k and I forgot about him but now I return and he’s at 41k man what a legend
The thumbnail is not an inquisitorial “I”, but rather the crux (cross) that 1st company vets wear.
Notice at the end his squad-mates also get teleported to the other pillars on the planet.
the glass thing that the marine stepped on was residual frost on the floor as an aftereffect from bleedover warp energy, also as you could notice as the marines were walking into the darkness the exaust vents from their armor began to visibly frost as the air got colder after they stepped on the ice/glass
At the end watch the other pillars as the drums begin beating. A single flash appears with each beat, like the others are warping in.
The orbs were saying "the Astartes ruin everything they touch"
At first I thought they were C'tan shards , but Archwhammer as the best theory, about a species I didn't even know about. The Yuvoth.
And to think he want to improve the quality. I don't think human minds would withstand that imagery.
Are we certain it's not the Emperor having fun with us?
Games Workshop should be "Shut up and take my money"
The end shot with the valley of giants looks like something straight out of a Zdzislaw Beksinski painting (which is something I've seen a lot of people saying since the episode premiered). Very disturbing in a cool, eerie way.
Wait is it called the valley of the dead kings or something??
Best part is when the captain punched that Psyker, causing his head to disappear and then the Sergeant just shot his dead body several times
When it comes to putting down a possessed psyker, there's no such thing as overkill.

1:29 Grey Knights,Red Hunter,And The Deathwatch are three SM chapters that are directly affiliated with the Inquisition,so it's not really strange to see the Inquisition's symbol on an Astartes.

@@johnisaacfelipe6357 Crux terminatus,plus a stylised 1, standard Veteran Insignia of the Retributors, Not related to the Inqusition.
Somewhere on the internet, there's an info sheet showing the key to the markings and insignia on the Space Marines armour.
For example, the Space Marine who the Captain gives orders to and takes off running after they get the warning from the psyker at 7:33 has a black double arrow on his right pauldron, denoting that he is a Tactical Marine. The black double arrow on his helmet marks him as a sergeant, while the brothers under him have white markings. The markings on his right knee show that his is part of the 2nd Squad of the 5th Company.
In comparison, the Captain and his squad member have the crux on their helmets and pauldrons, marking them as Veterans, with the gold laurels on the Captain's helmet establishing his rank. Assuming he and his comrade are in the same squad, 7:29 shows that they are in 3rd Squad of the 1st Company.
Even the filthy eldar must tip their pointy hats to astartes

You forgot the grey knights, which are the direct Divisio Militaris for the Ordo Malleus.
@@NagsorInaste1337 yes but it say "except the grey knights"
Any Chapter can be called into service for the Inquisition at anytime......also the chapter in the Astartes shorts are the creator's custom chapter.
The orbs were most likely Yu'Vath or Malal related. Just check out the Yu'Vath wiki and images of them and you'll see what I mean.
Best way to deal with any inquisition....punch in the face bolter everywhere else. Just to be sure GET THE HEAVY FLAMER BROTHER!
Retributors are investigating a rebellion that appears to have an ancient webway portal. The Retributors have one of their own that they are using to track down the rebels with. My guess is the rebels were using it to gain psychic powers or commune with Chaos. Either way major Heresy here. So they send a kill team to the ship they have detected the other webway portal on. As the other episodes show they make their way to the sphere. There is an inquisitor of some type hooked up to the sphere that the Retributors have on their ship. He is using it to eavesdrop and hears that the strike team is in danger. That is where you see the one space marine runoff. The inquisitor get's possessed and they killl him. The Strike Team get sucked into the portal and transported to another location.
The conversation between the two orbs, courtesy of Jonathan Campbell, who posted this originally in the comments, so thank him:
Orb 1 (with the Inquisitor): "Who's here?"
Orb 2: "I have failed, brother."
Orb 1: "We have all failed."
Orb 2: "The Astartes deny our touch."
Orb 1: "We must return."
Orb 2: "Break your shield." (Referring to the binding/cage the Inquisition has it in, I guess?)
Orb 1: "Impossible. We'll never survive."
Orb 2: "You must take them."
Thanks Jonathan!!
Back to me now, I also found that when Orb 1 breaks the connections, the Inquisitor says to the Space Marine in the White Cape:
“The Astartes are in danger my Lord!”
In other words, it’s a trap. Or something extremely close to that anyway.
I am with the side that theorize the orbs were c'tan shards. My guess at the plot is that the shard had made a cult to serve him and make a new body for it but the Astartes interfered probably using the imprisoned shard to find the cult. Then there is the great scene where the two shards talk to each other and the prisoner tells the other to flee into what I think is the warp. The Shard drags the Marines with it but in the warp the c'tan is attacked by demons and the marines are scattered in the warp to worlds unknown.
Notice that around 7:34 (When the Inquisitor's mind begins to be overtaken), his hands turn into a full on prayer clasp.
the inquisition has the power granted by the emperor to requisition any space marine chapter as needed. yes they are currently working with the grey knights and the the sororitas but they can work with any one that has the skill sets needed at the moment.
The psychic from the inquisition tried to fight what is theorized to be an umbra. He attacked it once the marines were pulled into the warp (the black smoke hitting the creature).
The body is the avatar of a c'tan, the orbs are c'tan shards made fo regenerating necrodermis, the valley of the dead is the Nekrontyr homeworld
Leo Sciotti I don’t think those were of c’tan origin. Arch Warhammer literally just recently did a review and points out that the design does not match Necron or c’tan design.
@@ShadowGhost0117 yes, i saw that video but it doesn't convince me because the point he makes about the golden body and the world full of skeletons are kinda weak. The Deceiver has been known for trying to corrupt other species, and the power those orbs display are not out of the realm of possibility for a C'tan since they can bend spacetime and all that jaz...
A bit of summary from the comments of the original video:
The sphares are most likely are Yu'Vath origin.
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 seal 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.
@@karaya111 ok, but what about the golden man?
Something I didn't notice till someone said it on the video but, 9:46 you can actually see his battle brothers getting teleported in onto other pillars in the distance when he stands up and it pans around.
Arier, please do a reaction to Arch Warhammer's analysis of Part 5, it is a hella good theory and I want to see your thoughts on it.
Other people in different videos have pointed out that in that final scene with the Space Marine in that valley of dead kings or whatever it is and you see those pillars flash with a thud sound. People have said that those flashes and thuds are the remaining 4 squad mates being warped into the valley. If that is true then those dead things in the chairs are much bigger than I originally thought.
Remember, this was done by 1 person. If y'all can support this man.
I think those balls are Yu'vath artifacts. From what I remember the Yu'vath are a really obscure race that made demon machines made out of bone or wood like material.
The creator (Syama Pedersen) is a genius
Great video, dude!
You should totally try reacting to Diabolik Lovers abridged sometime. Grimmjack plays Kou actually, and you've reacted to his stuff before.
I love Yu'vath technology, and those big skelly boys are the bone wardens of a probably dead Yu'vath home world or enslaved world.
The giant statue that the marines pass by on their way to the sphere was most likely a vessel for the creature that was in the sphere.
And as for the creature it was either a Ctan or an Umbra. (Evidence points to it being a Ctan because the creator said they weren't going to do demons/chaos for this animation)
So the place the marine at the ended up at was either the Necrontyr homeworld or some kind of Pocket dimension.
(I'm going off of pure speculation so take what I posted with a grain of salt)
As for attention to detail invested in this :
4:25 : if you look at the right shoulder pads, the little tags indicate the role each squad has. Middle is Tactic, left is heavy. Even the backpacks illustrate this !
8:00 : when the beak helmet veteran shoots, every shot gradually flutters the cape from the veteran captain. Just how f-ing brutal was the execution *^*
8:28 : as the hand is starting to get sucked in, you can start seeing small writings or scribbles similar to the surface of the sphere appear on his hand
9:16 : you can see the ship where our squad was getting hit by a big black wave, and because the ship was destroyed, so was the connection, thus teleporting the marines wherever. My guess is that was the moment the Astartes ship opened fire, but perhaps there are other forces at play
One more I couldn't find exactly where was that on the right shoulder pads, the names of each marine are written on it. Apparently, our now one-handed character here is named Bassig
At the end very, I was like "Is this some twisted parody of... Him?" x)
The creator says it is a remains of a minor xeno race (they are psy-active, but not a chaos ones), the planet is their dead world.
According to my limited knowledge, that statue is a partially complete/destroyed Man of Gold. It suggests that the rebels here were deconstructing Dark Age tech and examining or taking influence from a Xenos race known as the Umbra.
Someone suggested that this balls are some xeno technology from an species that went extint on the early days of the great crusade (don't recall the name rn) that mixed machine and organic material under warp power to made some artifacts with great power
I think its the end of the Chapter in the book sorta thing. The ending is the start of a new chapter. He is gonna make more stories all around this character. The ending shows him in different chapters. Perhaps the past before he joined this group? That's all what I am guessing and hoping for.
The ending teaser to the next chapter of the story show an Astartes getting shot at by what may be Eldar's shuriken weapons, which give more credence to this being Necron related. Because you know if it is Necron, especially if C'Tan related, then the space elves aren't far behind.
Astartes: Oh no our greatest weakness....magnets
Depends if Plasteel is magnetic metal.
:P
I say it's either a c'tan shard or its an imprisoned deamon of Tzeentch. The way it possessed the tech priest seems to indicate it wants to show you shit, and it recognized the astartes, unusual xeno species usually just babbles unintelligible gibberish and try to kill anything nearby. If it were Eldar you'd have wraiths or wraithbone but the sphere is way to dark for that, since the texture seems to look like necrodermis I almost sure it's a c'tan shard, regular necrons don't have psychic power but c'tan have powers that can look like psychic manifestations.
I think what happened was energy from the blast traveled through the warp and hit the entity inside which disconnected from the marines and they got cast out.
I think the things the space marines stabbed the orb with were some kind of neutralizing agent.
When the Inquisition pskyer was corrupted there was a green spark going across the orb so maybe a piece of a necron god (C'tan) and my own theory is that when the piece lashed out in the warp, a demon saw it and attacked luckily saving the strike team and red eye
The other theory is the Inquisition ships firing upon the traitor ship and destroying the orb and saving the strike team
The beaky helmet is a Mark 6 Corvus pattern
meanwhile, Gw bout to release their own, low quality, animation soon.
there are several chapters that work closely with the inquisition, grey knights ,red hunters,exorcists, black templars. and with there being 1000 chapters there probably are a lot more
Everyone says that it's warp-related, but I don't think that it is. I don't think that Astartes would let that thing survive, let alone capture it. I think it's a C'Tan shard. The way it exists in realspace as a flashing entity of energy, communicating with either other shards of itself, or even with other C'Tan.
I just don't think the Imperium would try to study Daemonic artefacts like that. A C'Tan shard, however? Well they're far more ignorant of how dangerous the C'Tan are than they are with Chaos. Naturally, the Imperium would likely try to probe it for weaknesses, so that they can better combat the Necron.
(Stolen from other comments) The conversation between the spheres :
Orb 1: (with the inquisitor) “who’s here?”
Orb 2: “I have failed, brother”
Orb 1: “we have all failed”
Orb 2: “the Astartes deny our touch”
Orb 1: “we must return”
Orb 2: “break your seal” (possibly referring to the cage orb 1 is in)
Orb 1: “impossible, we will never survive”
Orb 2: “you must take them”
Psyker : (muffeled) Recall them immediately!
It looks like an Umbra to me. It could also be Yu'vath as both have an orb-like appearance and use the warp.
I have also seen some people throw around c'than, I don't know much about how they interact with mortals so can't say how good of a theory this is.
@@CareerKnight The deciever straight fucked with an entire planet by possessing or taking the role of a planetary governor so it being a C'tan is not out of the question, especially if that giant golden body was supposed to be the new body for a c'tan trying to make itself anew
@@account8158
Not to mention the World where the Marines land has a strong Necrontyr/Necron vibe.
And the C'tan are made out of living metal called Necrodermis. And if this ball doesn't look like living metal i don't know what does.
Umbra are only about the size of a regular human fist, have a solid surface, and tend to attack via showlimbs as opposed to psychic blasts and telepathy. It is extremely unlikely to be one of those.
It seems like Yu'vath more though, especially those bone wardens at the end that is also probably on a dead yu'vath world especially that creature that took them to the world
I can only suggest you look at the arch warhammer analysis on astartes part 5. He did a very good job at explaining the video.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the Deathwatch often works on behalf of the Inquisition.
1:51 Check out the book "The Emperor's Gift". In it there is detailed an Inquisitorial space marine chapter. The Grey Knights in the book note this and comment on it. Of course the Inquisition would make their own space marine chapter. The galaxy is a big place.
oh and the stabby things have necron symbolism on them... very likely blackstone
Really nice to see they managed to get their account back.
Well the inquisitor boy not possessed anymore.
Wherever that Marine was taken, it's definitely not in realspace. Too surreal. Does the Emperor have a fused ribcage?
you can see the space marines names on there shoulder pauldrons
I'm the only one who thinks that the shadow that seems to attack that entity that took the space marines is Corvus Corax?
On the plus side our boy might be armless but hes not alone, look closely at the other alters after they flash, in at least 1080p or you'll miss them.
Was looking forward to your reaction
unnamed protagonists? well they aint unnamed. the name is engraved to their right shoulder. just like Hakael ( imgur.com/a/ViH6Xj9 ) the squad leader ( black arrows ) is called Kohren, two of the white arrow dudes are Monos n Bassic. the 3 remainin Marine currently unknown.
This is the end of this chapter. The next Astartes will be a different story (my understanding)
the tank was a predator with the predator auto cannon
This is my Plasma pistol...... I rolled a 1
It looked like a Necron/C'tan thing.
Still think its the Yu'Vath as the antagonists in these animations
The exorcists are inquisitorial and also super heretical but they are also grey knights successors and I'm not sure if they're cannon
i wonder if TTS will have a reference to this animated series
I hope so. :)
Shard of the Old One, Nephelim lost Brothers, Random Xenos made specificly for Astartes series or something related to Chaos, what do you think?
It is Yu'Vath. Take a look at the artwork for them.
After little read and looking at the arts of them, 99% Yu'Vath
Still fucking Xenos needed to be PURGE
my thought is its a C'tan shard or Necron artifact because the place they were sent, to me anyways, screams Necrons/Necrontyr.
@@Grenadier- But the orb didnt have any warp look. It would have been more daemonic looking.
@@jeremybk54 Someone else also brought up Ctan which kinda makes sense to me since metal living body, inert now and seemingly being cannibilized/repurposed for the Psykers, since the two they killed had masks that looked to be the same material as the *statue* and the spines they had on the back of their head since you can see a bunch of them being stored in the same room as the statue.
not glass, ice. its cold because...
Yu’voth
to ArierGames if you want to know about the orb archwarhammer made a video on what it is moast likely to be so check it out if want to hear about what it is
... why are my favorite Warhammer rases the two Egyptian ones?
Good taste.
@@Airier Same here.
Egyptian? It kinda seemed like more ancient chinese
@@kermitthefrog2578 didn't know China had pyramids and obelisk's
@@theirishviking9278 talking mainly about the sphere and the detail on it especially the thing that drags them in the orb
I'm not thinking of Necrons. I think this is Yu'vath tech.
I think the blood looked weird because astartes blood clots faster then normal.
Its the end of the first chapter, there's more to come
