The Space marines from Warhammer 40k are trans human super soldiers. we all know this, but what does that even mean? are they still human or something more? aside from their extensive training, rigorous reconditioning, and century's of combat experience, they are also given 19 implants that have a wide array of effects, some being super weird, well others are crazy powerful. lets take a look at the 19 implants a space marine receives that makes him better than us regular humans.

How do you thought of making a video on the Blood Ravens or Crimson Slaughter?
question here, i dont know where to read from 40k lore, so amm whats that thing on the back of the space marine armor thats above there head, and seeing that its called power armor does that mean it has some type of reactor in it or does a space marine just lift the entire thing
@@colourfullgalaxy5590 probably. They also have the layer underneath. Which are false muscles and nerves to increase their connection to the armor.
Also, considering how some produce flames and allow them to jump higher or even fly. It probably has some power source in there.
@@halfknight2310 ok cool thanks for that
So I actually wanted to give you the answer to the question “how many kids actually become marines” and the odds are surprisingly high. In the book Dante, it goes over the training, recruitment and eventually ascension of the Space marine Dante. Now it doesn’t explicitly say, but if you do some quick math, you can actually work out to a percentage of around 5%. For the run down, 500 boys from Baal Secondus, and 500 from Baal Primus. So 1,000 in total. However after insane training and testing. Eventually the amount is brought down to 57, and after implantation, only 48 survive the full process. So just under 5%. Now I’d honestly argue two parts. One, the pool of recruits could be A LOT HIGHER, if they started genetically testing if recruits a lot sooner. Cause if you do the math, 88% of people have the potential to become marines, but they kill so many of their new recruits that they could’ve gotten way more marines lol. The second part, is according to the Horus Heresy, the Blood Angel Gene seed was stated to have a high compatibly rate. Which is why they were able to maintain a decent fighting force despite being used as shock troops in the worst battlefields. So maybe that 88% genetic compatibly rate isn’t accurate across the board. But otherwise, 5% is surprisingly high.
My favorite use of the omniphagea was from the Ultramarines novel "Courage and Honour" when a sergeant ate a tau's brain and was able to pilot a Piranha via muscle memory. He was basically like "I have no idea what I'm doing but it's working!" lol
Ian Watson Space Marine has Fist scouts eating the brains of Titan pilots to do the same
Honestly I think that would be the reasonable reaction
I read this one and that was the absolute best thing
Imagine how scary it would be to just be a passenger in that particular situation
Astartes and T'au physiology must be pretty damn similar for muscle memory to translate that well. You'd think his muscles would be spasming violently or (perhaps more realistically) doing nothing at all in response to the completely nonsensical signals they're receiving
Im glad you're hitting your stride with these longer videos. This 40k lore channel will make a fine addition to my collection
Thanks! I am having a ton of fun with the long videos and I am finally getting ahold of editing with actual editing software rather than tiktok. Still have to watch like 5 hours of Premiere tutorials in between uploads tho, but I'm getting better haha.
😮
Ah a man of culture
@@weshammer can you do a video about how cloning works (or doesn’t) in 40K?
My thought exactly! I'm a majorkill fan but this one is better with kids in the car... hahaha!
The difference between the two "Half-Marines" you mention, Luther and Kor Pheron is interesting. Like how almost all the Dark Angels saw Luther as a true marine and not just an equal to them, but as a second Primarch. But Kor Pheron of the Word Bearers, who was the adopted father of the primach they all loved, was looked down upon by most and they talked about him behind his back etc.
Shows you how Luther could make so many join him, while the loyalty to Kor Pheron was just due to proxy and for a chance to gain a bit of extra power.
That's a really solid point
Almost every chaos marine novel I have read, it seems like all Chaos marine legions have some sort of plotting to take the lead from who leads them. Either their commander or the primarch (Typhus and Mortorian).
You know the idea pf semi space marines does sounds intruiging. Imagine adults getting an extra organ or 2. Basically the thunder warrior project from the unification wars.
Luther was incredibly charismatic. The Lion basically let him do the charisma stuff lol
Luther's charisma is powerful enough to command loyalty.
Marine: eats corpse stach
Also Marine: learns the history of half of the Hive city in an instant
The concept of a marine biting on chains as the metal dissolves with acid is both amazing and terrifying
There's a grey knight novel where he used it for that. It's been a while since I read it but he gets captured into some Xeno gladiatorial arena and spits on stuff to escape and eats some dudes brain to get a facility layout.
I've read this before, but listening to this really makes me think that the writers did their research before writing the Gen seed lore. All these implants seem like they would work in a science fiction post apocalyptic world.
Bravo to the writers really.
Everyone shits on Geedubs for their crappy writing, but i see that they try to pay attention to details and make very creative writing to make it sense in a fantasy world. Gotta give Games Workshop some props
And this is lore that's held up over 30 years now. Space marine was published in 93, but would have been researched years before that, without the Internet
@@krimson8089 GW is 50% very clever well researched ideas 50% head emtpy brain smooth
@@aguspuig6615 Chainsaw swords and purple being the best camouflage definitely confirms the ladder and it’s glorious
I feel like there's a lot of "wow that's really cool I totally can imagine this thing" and an equally decent amount of "this just doesn't make sense at all" that together make the whole of 40k lore and honestly I love it all.
Hey Wes, here's a funny story from my dad that used to work at GW in old days.
When business was slow in store they used to invent mini games for the heck of it. Such as squig racing. Take a bunch of squigs. (Or any model with random movement) and draw a track like a running track on the table. Roll for movement each turn, first to get their Squig across the finish line wins. Bumping into another Squig sends them back to the start.
OMG that actually sounds amazing! That would actually make for a really cool spin off game. I could see incorporating something like that into one of my DND campaigns. Thanks for sharing the story!
@@weshammer No problem! Thanks to him I've heard many funny things done at GW back then.
I love the idea of squig racing. Squigs are some of my favorite things in warhammer
the progenoid gland has a less well known but more important function aswell
it doesnt just function as a data collection centre for reproduction
but is also the organ that merges with the aspirants nervous system and makes it bind to all the new organs properly along with ensuring the aspirants bodys genetics are adjusted so it becomes one with the implants and does not reject it
it is what merges all the previous implants together and finally makes the space marine
before this stage you would have a heavily augmented human, after this its no longer human and augmentations but one posthuman
also on a more mundane level but incredibly important, prevents the marine to eventually become allergic to all the weird stuff crammed into his body
*4 more, in an ideal world every fallen marine produces 4 glands that can make 4 new marines
thats what made previous attempts at making supersupersoldiers fail
like the ravens attempt at making better marines faster made a success rate lower then 1/4, so while he was succesfull at making amazing new marines fast the project was afaliure since it would deplete the geneseed stores already low after the istvan massacre
atleast until chaos helped get that survival rate to acceptable lvls
The succes rate may be 1/4
But this poat is 10/10
Great information thag i had no idea about!
Cheers
Judging from your rapid uploads I'm assuming you're loving the long form vids format! Dont burn yourself out Wes. Dont forget to take breaks once in a while
I enjoyed doing the shorts, but with the longer videos I have so much more room to talk and don't have to keep cutting things out. Not to mention I feel super validated learning how to use actual editing software. Like I'm learning an actual skill 😅
@@weshammer youre longer Videos are a treat Presentation wise aswell please keep doing this you have a Lot of passion
For vision, the two numbers (i.e. 20/20) represent the apparent distance versus a standard distance. The bottom number is usually 20, representing what a normal person can see at 20 feet. The top number is a representation of what the evaluated person's performance was at that distance and lower numbers are considered to be superior vision; so a number of 40 means that this person sees an object at 20 ft as a normal person would see it at 40 ft. So Space Marines probably have something like 10/20 or even 5/20 vision and thus are able to perceive at 20 ft what a normal person only notices from 5 ft away.
I think you have it backwards? It would be more like 20/5 = 20 feet distance for marine, 5 feet for average. Wore glasses my entire life, and that shit still confuses me
@@24fretsoffury
Unfortunately both ways of writing it are commonly used so it's just gonna keep on being confusing. I'm in the same boat
the more you know :)
cheers for sharing (y)
Yeah, I noticed that one too. I maxed out the Air Force standard test at 20/13. So that’s the order at least the US Mil uses
You have it backwards. Congrats to you and the 73 people that hit the like button.
Wes is advertising Raid Shadow Legends - he truly sold his soul to Chaos lol
Soon all will know the primordial truth. Chaos is the only true path
“Hey, Weshammer. I been a lot of your Warhammer content a lot and slowly becoming a fan of it.
So I was been wondering something in my mind of the universe of 40k. And been heavily wondering what the universe would still be, if the “Horus Heresy” was prevented. If the Emperor tells his sons about Chaos and know Erebus.
And also been wondering how the universe would still be if the “Horus heresy” was prevented in the year of 40k. It just bothers me of how it would be if the emperor could’ve prevented it all of this”
Some say that this may have all been according to the emperor's plan, that he knew half of the primarchs would turn against him. That maybe he really was trying to become a God, like Horus feared and this was the way to do it. Maybe it was for malicious reasons, or maybe it was so he would be powerful enough to finally defeat the chaos gods. There's so many unanswered questions
It's all left super vague and the emperor is an incredibly complicated character, that's made even more complicated by hundreds of authors having different interpretations of him and his motivations.
Which personally I love! I love a good mystery. But I don't really know the answer to this question, on paper the Galaxy would have been dominated by mankind and he would have built a perfect utopia. But I don't think that's really what he was planning
Well, firstly, many marines would retire. As many characters had plans for after the great crusade.
Like Ariman (I don’t know how to spell), who had a vineyard. Where he brew wine. And he wanted to continue when he was going to retire.
So this is what I think will Happen.
Without the heresy, the brotherly love would be more frequent. Like ferrus and fulgrim. Perturabo and Rogal dorn would likely be partners in building cities together. Since both loved creating stuff and didn’t overly enjoy war.
Angron would be dead, as the nails in his head would have killed him eventually.
Konrad would likely become a head of justice in the imperium. While Guilleman would work in accounting and resource management for the imperium.
Magnus would likely be helping the emperor with the human webway project. Making sure it is safe and secure with his powers. Malcador and the emperor would also likely train magnus properly to handle his powers.
Now, some primarchs will not be entirely happy. Mortarian had a hatred for the emperor due to “stealing” Mortarian’s vengeance. But will remain loyal due to his odds.
Lorgar will probably be killed, since he would likely rebel due to the burning of monarchia (if it were to happen.) or he would be loyal and help spread the imperial truth.
The imperium as a whole would be far
stronger and chaos would be weaker. Humanity will advance far beyond what was thought possible. They will have their own webway thanks to the emperor, Malcador and magnus. So no need to worry so much about warp travel.
Maybe the imperium would build alliances with the tau and eldar. Since they would be better at fighting chaos together.
The tyranids would take longer to ever reach the galaxy. As it was due to a battle during the Horus heresy that drew their attention.
Then watch one of the newer videos from MajorKill in which he exactly talked about that topic, another great 40k lore yt guy.
"What if Horus Never Betrayed the Emperor? | Warhammer 40k Lore"
Have a good one
@@weshammer malcadore actually says to someone that this all happened before they were ready and that it wasn't hard to cultivate jealously between the primarchs
@@scottlock8584 I mean yeah
The Emperor THOUGHT lying about the Warp and the Edict of Nikea would buy him enough time.
Apparently not, now the setting is thoroughly screwed
owls also turn off half their brain to halfsleep
its weird what nature is capable of sometimes
its cool that something as unimaginable as never fully sleeping is actually not special at all for non humans
"I'm about to butcher all of these names."
"Number one: second heart."
Sounds good to me.
Wes: when you exercise
The entire Warhammer community: what is the deep magic you speak of?
You’re killing it dude. I was never a fan of tik tok stuff cause it’s too short but the longer form content you’ve been putting out is brilliant. Keep em coming
Heretic...
TikTokers getting mad at the Melanochrome is some really pathetic stuff . Also another reason why I'm glad I don't use that platform full of people vainly virtue signaling virtues they obviously don't have and making any non issue out as "problematic" just so they can keep doing that.
Still gives me "the internet was a mistake" vibes while making me worried for the (permanently online) youth.
Either way, have a good one, dear reader.
A lot of tiktoker just like to argue even their is nothing to argue about
I love how instead of just listing all the implants, you go into details on them and even tell us some exceptions and characters involving them.
Finding a long WesHammer video on my feed always puts me in a good mood
Omnaphagea gotta be my favourite. Telemackon Lyrus reaction to his 'meal' in Black Legion slew me.
“Oh yeah? Give me one reason why I couldn’t beat a marine with this 1m round per minute, OR a chains-”
“I SAID ONE”
Yeah, a marine no matter how small/inexperienced would bend most people like a twig.
Me and my friends are actually doing a 40k dnd game, and one of our other friends wanted to join us but he had no idea anything about 40k space marines, so I was like “okay sit down. So you know Captain America? Imagine Captain America with acid spit, the ability to learn memories and instincts by consuming flesh, the ability to almost instantly clot their wounds, two hearts. Oh and I forgot, they don’t need to sleep. Oh oh oh, and I forgot, they wear Master Chief Armour” and he was like “I’m sorry? What? How are they losing?” And I said “Galaxy wide Voodoo doll that detonates Suns”
40k actually has its own set of tabletop rpgs that are honestly really good too.
"How are they losing?"
"Because there is a very good reason why these post-human soldiers are a necessity."
@@jocosesonata "Because this settings insectoid aliens, which inspired the Zerg *and* flood can open the toughest space marine armor like a god damned tuna can (See: genestealers)"
@@Rixoli and forces that make these humans even stronger, and want to take down the others
I would have just said "you know how they do all that shit to make a single space marine? Imagine what they have to fight that makes all of that neccesary. And they're still losing."
I remember reading that the Ultramarines test there aspirants in arena combat against unarmed, unarmored full fledged marines. It said that a LOT of the aspirants die by getting crushed against stone walls or pounded to pulp into the ground.
different chapter do it different
"Brother, the sun on this planetoid is fierce"
"Got it. Going black."
Does going black include getting a massive dong?
9:47 I think it's not that difficult for apothecary to take care of the organs below the ribs, as he can simply cuts the skin area below the chest and get their hands through the open wound right below the rib bones, the same way the Aztec priest retrieved the heart of their sacrificial victims.
20/20 means at 20 feet you can clearly see what most people see from 20 feet, which is considered normal. 20/10 means at 20 feet you can see details that most people can't see until they close the distance to 10 feet. This is elite human vision, as good as it gets. An eagle has 20/5 and even 20/4 depending on the conditions.
The first number is the baseline 20 feet. The second number is what the clarity at 20 feet appears like to you. So 20 feet appears like it's at 40 feet for someone 20/40.
That's awesome! Thanks for clearing that up! I genuinely didn't know
People can have up to 20/10 im a rare case where i have 20/17-15 (apparently weather conditions change this)vision.
20/10 happens but thats like one in a million i believe
Your channel has become my favorite Warhammer lore content, keep it up man. These longer videos rock!
I really enjoy the work you are doing with these long-form vids. I hope enough other viewers also appreciate your work to make the effort worth it for you!
Love these longer videos. You’re one of the best 40k channels out there and the hard work is showing off!
It's crazy to me that they have all these abilities and a lot of them are portrayed to die just easily as any other human
some of the weapons the other races are using are insane though too gotta take that into account.
As the adage goes:
In a universe where everything is overpowered, nothing is overpowered.
I mean they are going up against aliens like orks who have technology that works on belief and can survive having their head swapped to another ork, Eldar which have a couple millennia head start on technology, Tyranids which are genetic mashups of countless species which will not stop coming once an invasion starts, and many many more. How I view it is space marines are their best attempt to fight with these species on equal footing, in some ways surpassing them but only by a little.
Bro just as im crashing once again. Mad props my guy, my props. Also loving the longer video format, you've got real listenable voice my guy, gotta a feeling your gonna blow up in a big way real soon. Keep it up mate
Hey thanks a ton! If that happens that would be really cool but I don't need to blow up. I am super happy with the channel exactly as it is! I get to make Warhammer full time and that's all I've ever really wanted
@@weshammer not at all man, not at all. and mate thats a real cool outlook, im really happy you've got what you've got here man
I’m enjoying the crap out of your long form videos Wes!! I mean your short form videos are hilarious and great! But I love your long form videos!
If you can run on a treadmill for 40 mins, even at a slower pace your in better shape than like 80% of Americans, and at least 50% of the world fam
I heard Astartes can think and make decisions way faster as well. I was expecting a gene seed specifically for this purpose. Or did I miss it?
It's interesting. They definitely can do that, but I also was expecting it to be from an implant. I'll have to do some more research into this
@@weshammer Wow thank for your reply. Really love your videos, especially this one.
@@weshammer I can say definitely it's a partial byproduct of the Occulobe, Lyman's Ear, and Neuroglottis: faster, more detailed, sensory intake speeds up an Astartes' mental processing and reflexes. However, and this is OLD lore -- like, 2nd/3rd edition, Index Astartes, lore -- it's a byproduct of the Catalepsean Node as well. We're talking lore so old it was back in the days when the Occulobe allowed Astartes to (at least partially) see into the infrared and ultraviolet spectra. So, mountain of salt.
IF I remember that lore right, and I may well be not, the Catalepsean Node doesn't just regulate sleeping patterns, it allows the Astartes to multi-task to a startling degree as well. Sort of like a combination of overclocking and multiprocessing at the same time. It has a higher physiological and psychological toll than sleep regulation, but it's a useful function regardless.
Or it might have just been one legion and its descendant chapters whose gene-seeds had that capacity. I remember the Blood Ravens have a flaw in their Catalepsean Nodes, that they have eidetic memories but don't dream (which good video idea, who are the Blood Ravens' founding Legion and why is it the Thousand Sons).
I'm pretty sure you're close, I can't remember how specifically but I believe they are at least able to get quicker, very accurate sensory info from their surroundings compared to you or I especially in situations that would give regular humans a sensory overload. I also believe that they are natural tactical geniuses, capable of predicting their enemies plans and moves way ahead of them. Don't take any of this as gospel, I've been passively enjoying 40k lore for about a decade but also I smoke a whole lot of weed so memories hit or miss.
Hey Wes just wanted to let you know for 4:37 that the brain doesn’t have pain receptors itself so the brain can’t actually feel pain. The scalp can of course but that’s numbed through medicine and such so being awake during brain surgery doesn’t really hurt. Now wether such medication is used in 40k is unknown but most likely not
Above average vision would be considered 20/15 or 20/10. As having 20/20 vision means you have normal or average vision.
IMAGINE HOW MUCH PAINTING I COULD GET DONE IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO SLEEP!!
Also keep the long form vids coming! You're killin' it!
I feel like the Trans-community missed a huge opportunity here.
Dave: So are you a boy or a girl?
Alex: I am Trans-human....Praise the Emperor!
Oh no they haven’t it’s funny

Finding out their pronouns are NightLord/NightLady 8(
I never would have expected to hear broscience mentioned in a warhammer video, even had to rewind to make sure i really heard that lol
Can you do a deep dive on the imperial navy next? It’s always so interesting to see the ships the imperium has to offer
There's an awesome sort of subplot that forms in the mind(for me it first happened in halo) where going through the many levels of augmentations the soldier goes through only builds up the enemy that all this must require. Makes the idea of what they're fighting terrifying before even knowing anything about them.
Not only that but they are indoctrinated from the day they are born.
I grew up in the 80's and 90's and have always been a massive fan of fantasy universes, especially ones with deep lore. I had friends who were into Warhammer 40k, but for some unknown reason it passed me by. With that small piece of my own lore out of the way, I'd just like to say how much I've been enjoying your channel lately. Liked and sub'd. For the Emperor! 😁
I've just come back to this comment, having played Destiny 2 for a while and wanted to ask if anyone else has noticed the similarities between the Imperium of man and the Cabal from Destiny 2? They have the Emperor. The hulking infantry in power armour. The Psions (Psykers?). Huge guys called Titans... the list goes on. If this question has been asked before I apologise. I was just fighting the Cabal in a strike and was like "Wait in minute...."
This is my new favourite channel. So cool to have this stuff explained in an easily understood way.
I love these deep dives they are longer than majorkills bite sized videos and shorter than leutin09s buffets and its great
I love listening to your long-form lore. It makes rune-farming on Elden Ring FAR more tolerable. 🙂
MORE PLEASE!
I really should go into New game Plus, I just like gathering up all the weapons and spells again haha. I'm on my third character, finally playing a mage. I've played through every from soft game like three or four times and never once touched a magic user.
@@weshammer I'm currently level 351 and playing around with a sleep/rot build (St. Trinas sword + Rotten Crystal sword with the requisite talismans) and it's .......... interesting. 🙂
@@weshammer mage builds are so fun!! Especially in elden ring the spells are the best theyve ever been. Im going for a build that uses all the dragon powers next i think, keep up the good work on the longer vids dude you now my fav warhammer channel :)

I'm also interested in your take on the Fall of Cadia. Just a suggestion, but I think you could do it justice without sounding like a fact-spewing drone.........
Ive always wanted to know more about Warhammer, but never could find a good resource of info i felt. Your channel totally changes that for me, and makes it very entertaining and easy to understand some of the more in depth mechanics of the massive Warhammer universe. Thanks bro.
No problem dude. Glad you like it 😃
In reguards to the responsiveness of a patient in brain surgery. I can 100% confirm that even today there are procedures that require the patient to be lucid and sober, as my Grandfather underwent neurological surgery to attempt treatment of his parkinson's disease. In which he had to give yes/no answers to a series of questions and then had to give an emotional response to make sure that the rods in his head were touching the right nodes... while he sits up straight, with a hole in his head. So yes. The level of pain, if these procedures go wrong, would be indescribable and more likely than not irreparably damage the patient.
I would love to see if there are Chapter Specific Implants! Especially my boys the Salamanders!
Well, not technically Implants. But the iron hands cut of their… hands and replace them with prosthetics.
@@halfknight2310 that’s dope!
Loving all the content you've been putting out
And I Don't think I've said this before but by the gods is that beard just magnificent
I've never been so interested and attracted to something I have no experience or familiarity with! It's like being taught how to do something or learning a completely different language! Thank you for this kind of content, Sir!
As a medic trained in cardiology and the metabolism... Bravo for getting it right. Never thought I'd hear the kreb cycle in a warhammer video either. The heart and third lung would Vastly aid the bodies ability to maintain aerobic metabolism and not the less effective Anaerobic which is what causes the build up of lactic acid as a byproduct.
I never played warhammer before and I really didn't care about it until I got curious that's how I found ur channel the first video I watched was a short and I think it was the one about pain engines after that vid I was hooked and I really like the style of this game and its whole story it's very very interesting I basically watched all your videos and I'm sad that theres no new ones yet but thanks for the content keep up the great work your channel is gonna be big one day
So I took a class today and found out that if you lose and arm or leg you probablywon't need a turnikit. Because you body recognizes the trauma and socks the arteries back in. Contrary a cut or stab does not have the same effect. Cool thing after learning about the laramen organ.
if i'm not wrong, several people have brought up the fact that space marines are OBVIOUSLY strong enough to crush skulls without the use of their armour, i mean come on, wearing several tons of ceremite is fine but a human skull is too much? this might have been just for the sake of being cool without the consideration that the marines could already do this without much trouble.
I think a good comparison would be a firstborn crushing a human skull using both hands while a primaris needs only one..
The connective tissue one. It should counter my EDS 🤣
I posted a comment a couple of months back saying you should try longer format videos. I'm glad you're doing them now, and it looks like your getting good feedback with it. GJ man!
Why would anyone get mad about the skin tone implant? It makes sense and is a cool, lore friendly, reason to give your marines whatever skin tone you want.
I think because it literally gives the space marines genetic blackface
And as for the skin tone benefit, you could easily do the same by just saying that they take people of different races instead of saying the space marines can give themselves black face
@@CT--ko8js That's a stretch. Space Marines have no race, they're hardly even human anymore, so they can't do Blackface. Blackface also comes with intent.
When you go looking for things to be upset about you're only going to make yourself miserable.
@@LtColShingSides Then go ahead, show your space marines changing from white to black in an instant because they can canonically do it. But don’t act surprised when people start to call it problematic
@@LtColShingSides because it doesn’t matter if there’s no intent. People are going to see what you’re showing them and feel however they please
What makes a space marine and custodies different is quality whereas space marines ironically and funnily enough are meant to be elite warriors however a space marine for a want of a better term are glorified cannon fodder where they’re basically built for mass scale production and warfare and whilst their organs and modifications are advanced their quality isn’t even close to that of a custodies where a marine might be the peak of human evolution the custodies are as close to godhood than a human whereas unlike a normal space marine they’re are far larger, stronger and capable of surviving an attack that would normally kill a space marine such as a ten inch hole through their chest would instantly kill a normal space marine however a custodies would be able to fight for several hours and if given sufficient medical attention could even survive and not only that custodies unlike their brothers which have a life span of about a thousand or so years if lucky, however a custodies is essentially immortal where some of the custodies are the same ones who fought during the unification war over ten thousand years ago, and it’s not just their bodies but their armor is on a whole different level, whereas space marine armor might be master crafted, most of the time space marines would hand down their power armor or use parts cannibalised from their fallen, unlike the custodies which are all custom built to the absolute highest of quality and is made from the finest materials and only from a specialized and select few and if a custodies were to ever die then their armor would be housed in a mosoleum where their names and deeds will be remembered (mostly by other custodies or just cut down/ custodies don’t have names like bob, homer or joe, instead they’re names are that of their awards where it will be etched onto the inside of their armor however some custodies names are so long they’re covering the ousting and to simplify the answers
Imagine being named after every single achievement on your Xbox or PlayStation and I mean everything from every game you ever played as well as your rewards and now turn all of those achievements and rewards into your name and you just keep on expanding after every new reward
If your chest cavity fuses and cannot expand how do you breathe? The Astartes would suffocate if the rid cage was immoveable.
Loving all the vids you do but the longer vids are the best. It’s lore crack for the soul!
I always wondered if the Space marines think about the time when they were normal humans, because lets face it, I think after their transformation they have very little to do with humans, only body wise
Some do, especially the more ancient ones. Like the dreadnought who thought back to his time with his (biological) father as a child while he was dying.
Most quickly forget. It makes sense because if you live for 200+ years you're hardly going to remember the first 10.
Does a butterfly think about the time it was a caterpillar? Maybe... maybe not. But if it did, it probably wouldn't be for long or with much detail. 🤷♂️
Depends on the chapter, Night Lords for instance, may not even recognise their own mothers.
@@meatpuppet5036 more like depends on the writer's desire. Dante still remembers his childhood after 1700 years and Talos forgot everything in just 50 yrs gap
I love your videos, the long anda the shorts, would you mind to do a long video about the sisters? I love the concept of "nuns with guns" and i like to know more.
They are on the list! I just wanted to get a couple more of their novels read first before I covered them.
@@weshammer thx man, your job is amazing. Greetings from Brazil.
So happy you got sponsored :) hope it helps you make more content man
Hey, Weshammer, i saw a short about Earth in warhammer 40k...
it was awesome. I saw it only yesterday, but now im addicted to your content! Instant sub!
Also it's nice watching how you reply to your viewers questions!
You got my respect!
The blood angels have been able to start individuals with almost no risks or very few at all who are in their mid to late twenties. Hell in the grate crusade legions of the blighted woukd fallow around the eaters of the flesh/revenant legion in order to be selected to become one of them he’ll when they took over planets supposedly they would take even from the defeated to bolster Their ranks and rather than have losses after every campaign their ranks swelled. Part of that would become from how strangely strong the genetics of the blood angels are. All those who get the implants are said to become uniformly tall and uniformly plaid of skin all sharing an naturally angelic beauty.
@Miguel Perez
To bad about that space vampire berserker side effect though
@@TheGreatDayne1983 I mean if the recent books are anything to go by cawl found out that that part of the blood angels was a design feature which kinda makes sense since they were also made to be the longest lived and the ability to gain recruiters from both individuals who are far older than what other legions can select from along with even being able to turn full on mutants who were mutated enough to be classed as abhumans into blood angels , well at the time when it was common they were the revenant legion.
I always wondered why they wouldn't just install another progenoid gland on the neck after the first one was extracted. Two years is barely anything for a space marine, and farming more gene-seed like this shouldn't be a big deal, unless there's something I'm missing.
I think it’s because the gland act as a form of neural système for the new organs. My guess is that extracting the gland would be fatal as extracting the brain of someone. Still guessing that if they recover it : every organs implanted will stop.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong tho
@@thomasmaret2623 the one in the neck isn't fatal to remove, since they remove it after two years. My question was why not put another one in after the first one was removed. Or at least put the second progenoid gland somewhere easier to remove other than right next to the heart, like on the other side of the neck.
I am loving the warhammer lore videos I need more longer video because honestly you are the best lore content creators I've found
Hey thanks that's a huge compliment. I'm still new to this but I really appreciate the encouragement 😃
Loves these videos. There are a lot of people making long form 40k lore videos but you've seemed to find your own voice. Looking forward to more videos to come :)
Even though I need sleep as a mundane home sapiens, I probably sleep about as often as an Astartes 🥴 I'm writing this at 2am....
Scientists had said that the reason Dinosaurs were so big, is because of much higher leves of oxygen. So you're not wrong!
none of these feats will ever beat that one time a custodes fought off like half a hive fleet or some type of xenos fleet, with like half his head missing because "for the emperor lol. I love 40k, btw which one of these would be the cause of the black rage?
The black rage is a psychic illness the blood angels suffer from.. To my knowledge it is not caused by any of the implants but something passed down from their primarch..
The black rage is pyskic warp spaghetti, not the implants. I’d argue geneseed, though.
@@tfan2222 ok, is the wulfen a spaghetti thing then?
That omnephagea organ reminded me of that comic book series about a cop who could witness the life of everything he eats, animal or plant (except beets). If he eats human flesh, he instantly learns all their memories and skills that person excelled at, like pitching fastballs or carving knives out of chocolate.
nothing makes me wanna stop watching a video more then a raid shadow legends ad
First I love that you're making a name for yourself and you are always a welcome sight for Warhammer lore. Even stuff I've already known about, it's still a pleasure hearing you tell it all again. Second, in the game Stellaris, you can get an Assault unit called Gene Warriors and they are generally a reference to Astartes.
yes inquisitor this video right here
your brain has no nerve endings so they have to wake you up when they crack you open when they remove tumers and do brain surgery so asses if they are touching anyithing that would impact you. they typically get you to do tasks with motor function and you dont feel a thing. one great example of this was a guitarist who was getting brain surgery and actually played his guitar while having his brain poked at. there is actualy video of it which is pretty cool.
11:59
This picture says alot, props to whoever created it 👏🏻
Question. Do the Primarchs have all of these organs inside of them naturally or how does it work for them? Particularly the Black Caparace considering they wear power armor like all the other Astartes.
Primarchs don’t really have geneseed. But they do have the multiple lungs and hearts.
they are better custodes created by the emperor of mankind in a lab so they are taller. they are 11ft tall custodes but better
Well, let me give you 20 reasons why a guard man Is better than a space marine as an astra militorum entusiast
Brass balls for one. They feel the fear and do it anyway.
"19 Reasons Why Space Marines Are Better Than Us" Do we really need details on why they're better than us? Just.. look at 'em.
Great Vid mate! You became very quick my go to Lore Channel besides Majorkill and Luetin, keep up the good work 👍
In my opinion their immortality, like elves or at least living 10× of that a normal avg human max while always being as youthful as a 30 years old , is the most powerful ability. Then comes height and muscles. Everything else is just fancy for WH40k crazy battlefields if technology got lost.
Their power armoer is more powerful than SM. That is their primary power on battlefield. Without the armor protection their size in a battlefield with guns makes them easy targets for one shots. Also it what gives their legendary strength and endurance.
Some humans in real world exceptions warriors in history could potentially defeat a SM (without their advance equipment) in one vs one (especially as a young new member). For example LuBu or LanPo or Qaqai.
You are aware Space Marines without their armour are still insanely strong and tough right? Along with their countless implants that are still in their bodies. A totally unarmoured SM can take shots from a heavy pistol without any real injuries. Human warriors would give a SM flesh wounds at best.
Any time I here about space marines biology I like to imagine what a 40K version of cells at work would be like.
It would look like the imperium, grimdark and full of other cells calling each other heresy.
Every cell is Doom guy
40/2.5 vision would be better. The lower second number indicates being able to read a fixed-size text at a given distance.
Found you on tiktok and I’m impressed with your growth, you got me into 40k on TikTok and I’m loving these long lore videos
I feel like all this Weshammer content is only being made to help feed his Plastic Crack Addiction.
XD Love it man, keep it up.
I like how they make space marines are super jacked, but how does the 40k universe make sisters of battle? I hope it's similar to the creation of Captain Carter from Marvel. Anyways, I really like your lore videos, keep it up.
Not really, they’re just regular buff woman In their own version of power armor. They have their incantations and blessing to buff them.
The sororitas are not enhanced humans.. They are female crusaders who were trained from a very young age and given power armor specifically created for the female frame.. Their armor works exactly like astartes power armor except for the black carapace interface which it lacks.. It is however lighter in weight and more nimble than astartes armour..
@oppai-sama eh, probably. I haven't seen any mentioned for the sisters though
@@lavatun old lore had "mind impulse units " that's probably how they control their nuns'n'guns armour
Dude I honestly didn’t know anything about this lore before you. You made me a fan! Thank you!
Turning into a space marine is what happens if you fall asleep first at the sleep over
Me after getting the Melanochrome organ and travelling to Africa: 'Yo wassup, my Ni-" 🤣
"9 foot tall demigod men!"
Going to trigger a whole lot of feminists that still think there should be "Chick Marines" even thou the majority of the players of Warhammer 40k are neckbeard men. I want more of that!
Yeah, I keep seeing the whole “female space marines should be a thing” and I just point at the sisters of battle.
@@halfknight2310 I know, right? I mean, the sisters of battle are badass female warriors in power armor? So what more is there to want?
@@300SonsofOdin agreed. They are so baddass.
I personally love Morvan vall. With her (to quote bricky) nundum warsuit.
Funny enough most female players play orc's or nids
@@jamesfreeman3617 Don't know about that. I don't see many fdmales playing Warhammer wherw I am from
If I'd get one of the organs... It would definitely be the no sleep organ. The things I could do with more hours in the day
I saw your video the other day on how to get started in Warhammer and really enjoyed it.
'Having seen a portion of the series' library I pretty much gave up immediately on getting into it that way, but that little tidbit about there being no real starting point was very encouraging.
I've since gotten your Caiaphas Cain and Brutal Kunnin' recommendations and one other book called the Crimson Fists Omnibus (part of a sale) and am looking forward to getting started. Thanks again for the video :)
Also, looking forward to a December release of a book on the trench boys of Krieg.
You're moving up to Leutin levels... Just never be a Major Kill...who eliminates half his audience with political ideals. Keep it up.
I told myself when I started I would never talk about politics. People come to Warhammer to escape the bullsh*t of real life.
yes, don't fall into the Arch trap.
@@weshammer I don't care what side you are about.. What you said is exactly what people want.
After all the painful surgery, you think the Adeptus could come up with an improved pleasure organ. We all know Marines love their shore leave! Why not reward the hardships they face, with an amped up love muscle!
Such a big brain channel. Really brings me back to my days painting in the shops as a child. Great format of content as well! keep it up!
Thank you, Wes! Your clarifying the use of the word "gene-seed" was so helpful as I, honest to God, had recently been confused by it being used as a specific term but also a blanket term, and WAS confused lol... thanks, pal. Once again, this is why out of all the many, many, VAST MANY Warhammer (variant) channels out there, you're my guy. Hands down, the order goes WesHammer, A Vox In The Void, and Wyvern. That's my top 3 😊
I enjoy this way to much... thank you! Eagerly awaiting every episode!
Space marines are one of the coolest designs and they just look bad ass
My Big brother had been playing war hammer 40k for a very long time and space Marines are one of his favorite to play war hammer 40K. I like them too ,he paints them blue to look just like the pictures in the books
