*A quick side note:* The "electro-motivated fibre bundles" in the armor you mentioned at 8:44 is the black muscle suit the Marines wear beneath all the armor plates, you can see it fully at 4:13 and it's like a tight bodysuit, or more akin to the Nanosuit from Crysis, that black muscle suit IS the *Power* of the Armour, they are the critical parts that interface directly with the Black Carapace and they provide all the strength that all Power Armour in 40k have, Space Marine, Sororitas, Inquisitorial or Custodian, these fibre bundles are the electric servos of the armor, and all power cables are interfaced directly with them.
So yeah they are already insanly strong, durable and naturally bulletproof to small weopons, have insane speed, insane endurance, inhuman time reaction and THEN you add the armor to emplify all of this.
I could be wrong. But ive heard that higher ranked astartes can get iron halo forcefield generators. Which is why they can be helmetless on the battlefield.
@@lordlopikong6940That is the main in-lore reason/explanation, designed to help communication and awareness. But yes, there needed to be some way to recognize your different tabletop figures.
They control the helmet features by blinking/staring at spots on the hud. Their weapons also are linked too the helmet, so where ever their guns pointing, if they have the helmet on, theyll get a little marker where theyre looking.
They shouldnt need to control anything via their eyes. The black carapace is a perfect man machine interface between the astartes mind and the armor computer systems
There is nothing to blink at, there is no visual interface in the helmet. What looks like eye lens's are camera mounts which feed visual data directly into the marines mind the helmet also has advanced energy, sound and battlefield scanning features that also feed directly into their mind.
@@RevRaptor898 yet in the Horus heresy novels and various 40k novels it describes how space marines use blinks to change data feeds, types of vision, tracking etc. Read the lore bro it's only just over 1000 books.
There is one thing I don't understand about the armour and the WH40K world. In many games and videos the Space Marines get quite easily killed by melee weapons, even if they are supposed to be incredibly strong. Say that you compare to a real world tank: it doesn't matter how sharp any melee weapon is, you need an explosive force to penetrate its armour. The Space Marine armour is supposed to be even stronger than our tanks so I can't buy that an ork or a tyranid is able to kill a marine in melee unless they hit a gap or an exposed body part.
Sheeeesh that's really something! Just imagine being a space marine just starting out on your first mission, went threw all that augmentation just to get killed in one shot or blow 😂
Ideally, an Astartes would always be followed by a number of chapter serfs that would carry extra ammo and potentially other essentials. Though, this tends to only really be the case when on defensive assignments. While I don't know that it's otherwise really ever been stated in any canon source, my guess would be that the belt area of the armor has a host of mag clamps that allows the Marine to carry extra ammo, grenades, or other miscellaneous items. Of course, even carrying a few extra magazines is not a lot of ammo, but Space Marines are, at a base level, superb marksmen. If you watch the Astartes videos you can see that the Marines do not waste shots. You can figure that each Marine used 1 mag until reaching the psykers, and then one or two mags to defeat the psykers, possibly followed by one more mag loaded after defeating the psykers. This points to the idea that none of the Marines used more than 4 magazines to clear a ship and secure their objective, and I think that's the rule, rather than the exception, when it comes to Space Marine operations.
@@AlindBack Yeah since i think i read somewhere every bullet is blessed by a tech priest it makes sense that full auto spray and pray isn't an Astartes tactic. In the space marine games you're always running out of bullets after almost every fight luckly you can't even turn a corner without tripping over an ammobox. i just thought it was odd there's no specific part of their kit designated as personal armory for the marines.
The helmet can do so much things (alongside obvioulsy protecting the most sensible part of your body) and still we see a lot of space marines no wearing it...
The new jump packs have heel jet to help with control. Wouldn't they also be useful in increasing the fall distance of a marine. Just a thought *Corrected*
Depends on the Chapter, not kidding there are 1000's of Chapters of Space Marines with their own cultures and traditions of which I am confident at least 100 drink tea of some sort before, during or after battle. lol
i'd like to know how much of what you described is present in the phobos version of the armor... Phobos always intreuged me even tho it doesn't get much thought thru use in the lore as far as I'm informed
how do the grey knights helmets work? they are very square and the (what i think are the eye pieces) are literally at the top of the helmet, are they able to see via cameras or something?
Would be funny if the armor had an inner layer of space fleece. Millennia worth of research and development to create the most comfortable fleece in the universe.
Fun fact while space marine armor is good against lasers. Plasma weapons actually kill space marines in one hit yes even plasma pistols. This is because plasma weapons in Warhammer 40k are the same temperature as the surface of a red dwarf star. Which equals 5000 degrees Celsius
The ribbons are purity seals (basically little prayers or writings of deeds) the winged skull on the chest is the imperialis (symbolic of loyalty to the emperor) the ropes are decorative and tend to only be seen on high ranking space marines, kinda like how real life officers have those little gold ropes attached to their epaulette on their dress uniform
Hail to the Bus Driver! 🫡🫡🫡 Thank you so much for this wonderful tour! Never got into 40K until Space Marine 2 came out. Call me a bandwagoner... But I've been on a binge lately with the lore, and this was an amazing breakdown for an Aspirant like myself!
You know how in Halo Spartan's can do flips and all sorts of agile feats? Space marines can do the same but they are faster, stronger, harder to kill and the armor is even better than the best versions of Moljnir armor. The best Spartan's which are the 2nd generation, yes they are the best of all 4 gens fight me, wouldn't hold a candle to a Space Marine. Naturally they are built for two totally different purposes and hell the Spartan 2's were not really built for fighting Elites let alone demi god shock troops from 40,000 years in the future. Still would be fun to see the covies meet a Space Marine chapter.
Looking at all the videos online...this armor doesn't look all that tough to me. Tyranids open them like cans of sardines, Necrons melt them like butter, Orcs snap them in half like breadsticks. Genestealers can even tear apart terminator armor in a second. There's not a video where they don't die by the bucketload.
While playing Space marine 2 I turned on helmets for immersion reasons knowing what helmets contain not to mention comeon youre fighting tyranids and traitors going helmetless is such whk thing to do but not tactical or strategical.
The suit connects directly to the bloodstream and filters out what little the augmented organs cannot process. This way, a space marine in his suit doesn't have to use the toilet. As far as sleep is concerned, another implant (the Catalepsean node) enables them to sleep "Dolphin-style", i.e. different parts of the brain take turns resting. They still need real sleep at some point, but can go on for many days without it just fine. I don't think sleeping in the armour would be a problem for an Astartes. Even a mere mortal like me quickly learned to sleep in full combat gear with a parachute strapped to my back and a bag full of equipment between my legs during my military service.
And than there are a bunch of guys running around without a helmet and rendering the entire suit useless. At least armorwise. Doesn't make sense to wear armor if one blow to the head ends you.
so if the armors ceramic dissipates thermal... then why do i take massive damage in space marine 2 from those flamers? XD This is bugging me so much lol
I think its special Chaos fire like the fire the Helldrake is breathing. They say something along the lines and have a aspecial name for it when the mission with the firebreathing Helldrake starts.
Amour made of Adamantium?? How pathetic that the writers make up some B.S. like saying space marine armour is make from the same material as Marvels Wolverine claws. Why can't they make up their own material instead of copying Marvel's ideas.
"Adamantine", also spelled "adamantium", is the metal of the gods in ancient Greek Mythology. Marvel didn't come up with it, It's literally thousands of years old lmao.
I love how everyone loves the Space Marine armour. No one ever talks about the miss shaped bodies of space marines. 5 inch thigh gaps, extended necks, bulbous heads, overly barreled chests and enough gross muscles to make a roid- raging muscle bro vomit. The armour is cool but all space marines are genetic trans-human mutants which is what gives the armour the real edge.
Whichever chapter you took that armour from is going to come find it....

wouldn't be power armor if it didn't amplify and strengthen the user, it would just be regular armor.
especially compared to standard humans wearing power armor. without the black carapace to interface mind to armor it can slow the wearer down.

It CAN be an Ork sometimes.
Exactly what I thought!
it's hollow. just open the data, there is no texture data inside the armor

im guessing inside the space marine armor is a space marine
And if we're studying the armor, an _angry_ space marine.
They control the helmet features by blinking/staring at spots on the hud. Their weapons also are linked too the helmet, so where ever their guns pointing, if they have the helmet on, theyll get a little marker where theyre looking.
They shouldnt need to control anything via their eyes. The black carapace is a perfect man machine interface between the astartes mind and the armor computer systems
I know where I'm looking without a little marker
That's why so many space marine weapons have scopes even though the helmets cant reach the scope itself.

Yeah the one thing i've always wondered. Where the F do they keep all that ammo those bolter mags are huge and i don't see any ammo pouches.
That I cannot answer, each mag is like the size of a regular humans head
they cant carry alot maybe they get dropped ammo supplies idk
