@@RustyShackleford9000 Yeah it did as well. However, I'm more for supporting Syama Pedersen, who owns Digital Bones, over Games Workshop, who keep blocking fan made projects. That's why Astartes has two versions, and the original version was taken off Syama Pedersen's channel.
@ You think he had much choice? Either, they take down his content, which means he get's no revenue, and will no longer be able to do W40K content, or he works for them, and keeps doing what he loves. GW has been doing a lot of questionable stuff over the last couple of years, and many 40K fans are not happy with them. I can see the positives as well, however it looks like anyone who wants to watch Astartes 2 is gonna have to subscribe to Warhammer+. Which isn't exactly cheap either. I won't have an issue if they include it on Prime Video, however I highly doubt that.
*From having watched the original series when first released and based on the discussions held in the comments section there, here's a rough outline of what's happening:* *A heretic separatist group has been tracked down by the Astartes. They are believed to be harboring an alien artifact or being that must be found, captured, and/or destroyed. The Astartes board the heretic's vessel in the asteroid belt, making their way to the containment vault (the big, spherical "O2" structure).* *Along the way they cut through the cannon fodder of heretic soldiers. They then face off against the twin-linked psykers guarding the entrance to the vault. Though posing a bit more of a challenge, the Astartes' superior tactics of distraction and suppressing fire allow them to prevail. Whereupon they enter the vault.* *Back on the Astartes' ship, their commanding officer views what the Astartes are seeing through video feeds that are part of the Space Marines' armor. The commander and an assumed second-in-command leave the command deck to consult with their Inguisitor psyker (the kneeling figure deep in meditation). Inquisitor's are essentially the Imperium's secret police force, but perform a broad variety of duties. In this case, the Inquisitor appears to be psychically linked to the captured sphere floating, chained, in the chamber.* *As the Astartes on the heretic's ship advance through the vault, they come across a giant, golden, humanoid construct in the process of being built (speculation is it was to be a vessel for the alien Warp being to inhabit, becoming the leader of the heretics, and directing them on to whatever victory or rule they hoped to accomplish with their scheme; a powerful body for a powerful psyker). Advancing further into the chamber, they come across a sphere similar to the one seen back on the Space Marines' command vessel. Only this one is unbound and and psychically active. It attempts, unsuccessfully, to stop the Astartes' advance using telekinesis.* *Back on the command ship, the Inquisitorial psyker is seen eavesdropping in on the telepathic conversation between the captured sphere on the Astartes' ship and the one on the heretics' ship. The spheres become aware of the psyker. The captured one, in an attempt to aid its brother on the heretic ship by acting as a distraction, possesses the psyker. The psyker is then quickly dispatched by the commanding officer Space Marine and his second-in-command. Remember: a possessed psyker can act as a portal for all sorts of horrors from the Warp to gain access to the realm of the Materium (our universe).* *The commanding officer, just before killing the possessed psyker, had sent a subordinate to warn the Astartes aboard the heretics' ship. However, it's too late. While in the midst of conducting the operation to dampen its psychic abilities (the staves they thrust into it) and capture the entity, it retreats into the Warp as previously instructed by its brethren aboard the Astartes' ship, dragging the Space Marines along with it. We briefly see its true form before it is destroyed by a black shadow sweeping across it (some speculate it is the soul of the recently deceased Inquisitorial psyker taking out the alien Warp being in one last act of heroism to save the captured Astartes).* *The Astartes are then deposited in the Warp, god knows where (remember: the Warp is infinite), their eventual fate unknown. As to the "thrones" you mention at the end of the video, if you look closely you see a small flash of light atop each pillar. It's believed that's the other members of the Astartes' platoon, each being deposited onto a separate pillar from one another.*
I remember these debates and I'm glad the Space Marine is both armed and armoured and has a few others backing him up at the end. Whatever may come their trained for practically anything, near impossible to die by natural means and have their power armour. It'll be tough but survival in the Warp is not impossible.
I agree with almost all of this, except for the warp thing at the end. There is absolutely no indication that they were dragged to the warp rather than deposited on some planet elsewhere.
The black shadow is also speculated to be a true Daemon that has been attracted to all the psychic activity. The planet we see in the background of the space sequence is the same colour as where they arrive, so most likely that they were dropped off on the planet - the warp may be infinite, but travel through it still takes time
@@Nathan5027 Wich also works Both theories could be right, cause thats just how Bonkers 40k is. I do believe tho that they are not in the Warp at the end, but got teleported someplace else. I do love though that the Ending vista of all these gigantic skeletal figures, reminds me of a Zdzisław Beksiński painting.
Apparently Amazon initially said they didn’t want to do anything with the Sisters of Battle because they are “too religious”. Now that Henry is producing the new shows it’s rumored they will be a big part!
@@HideyoshiKinoshita84 They barely scratched the religious part.. but i feel they did portray it fairly well there, especially since it focused on individuals and not just 'what they were'...
if “too religious” was their line how in tf did they think they were gonna be able to do anything Warhammer 40K, hopefully cavil made them realize how dumb that idea is
What are they afraid of? Showing the insanity of cults? Or afraid of promoting it? I don't think any sane person would see them as anything but fanatical insane zealots with a su ici de fetish. So we can watch the news and see that in our own timeline with I slam and such but can't show it in fiction? (Not saying the other Abrah a mic are any better btw. It is just the one I grew up with XD)
Tee's like a kid showing his friends the best new thing in the world! His enthusiasm is contagious for sure. You guys are awesome and I'm loving every minute of your journey of discovery in this insane W40k universe. The best to you, yours and the folks in the comments.
I’ve watched Astartes 20 times. I always watch reaction videos of it. To see how people are blown away by this piece of art (made by one person) still makes me smile years later!
ooh in the astartes series they are against an ancient xeno species (yu vath ... or something ) and they were slavers( they use psychic control), normally they would have been destroyed during the great crusade but surprisingly some survived
Spheres are aliens with a previously unknown type of psychedelic use and a shield that protects them from warp. They tried to create a new body through mental domination (golden statue only made), but failed due to Astartes' interference. They dragged Astartes into the bait and tried to escape safely through the warp, and the interrogator who warned it was mentally ruled and executed. The alien who then entered the warp was eaten by the warp creature because the bait operation did not work, and the Astartes squad emerges from uncharted space.
Two separate entities (twin beings?) from the warp. One took control of a group and started having their worshippers build a body for it to possess in the material world. That’s my general interpretation.
Time is weird in 40k, but canonically the current phase is set in the early 42nd millenium or 41,000AD+ The event shown in Astartes takes place a bit over 2,500 years earlier. I bring it up as a way of contrasting it to how that is equivalent to 475BC and today. The Roman Republic was only 34 years old, and Jesus wouldn't be born until almost 5 centuries later. The events of Astartes are likely documented somewhere on parchment or a data-slate somewhere on Terra. Good look finding it though :P
They ARE talking to eachother, just in their helmets so we can’t hear them. If you watch again you can see the head movements of orders and chatter that we are not privy to
When the squad enters the room with the partially completed,…body, if you look at the shadowed perimeter you’ll see rows and rows of disembodied heads with spinal cords, like that on the earlier "Psyker Leaders". What it seems to indicate is given the leaders were far taller than the normal human troops and on the level with Astartes, these rebellion leaders are both psyker AND cybernetic. A "Brain-In-A-Jar" with a psy-amp spine (which probably needs to be external due to bulk and emission issues), routed into a supporting robotic body. That giant body that was under construction could be for a) to work as a housing for a group of the "Jar Heads", or b) it’s the future body for The Orb. Now back on the battleship, the figure plugged into the other Orb is a psyker of the Inquisition (the symbol on his back and Imperial rosary). Not only is the Orb shackled in a containment vessel, it’s in a vault covered with wards, incense, and purity seals. And for good measure, there’s a Retributor guard on hand. Not so much to guard the vault, but to kill the Inquisitor if they get possessed. The Inquisitor basically got to listening in on the chatter between The Orbs. Basically: "Who’s there?" "Brother, we have failed. The they resist my touch." "We must not lose. Break your seal. Take them." The Inquisitor yelled to the Captain to pull back the squad, it was a trap. But that lapse in concentration let the Orb Entity break its own bonds, and surge all or some of itself into the Inquisitor. Thus Plan B. ("The letter of the day kids is B! B as in Bolter!") Now as the squad is absorbed and being reeled in on those umbilicals to the glow, something streaks up from the lower right and snuffs it out. I suspect that was a torpedo (or six) from the battleship to destroy that cruiser. So instead of what was likely to happen, the whole squad landing in a giant skeleton’s hand to be consumed in warp fire, they get dumped and scattered. And given the color of the ground and sky, my money is not on it being the Warp but being on the planet the rebel cruiser was in orbit over. Oh! And the plasma pistol! Yeah, Imperial plasma weapons can be rather touchy. Fire them too fast or gamble with an overcharge and you can take yourself out with your own weapon with containment breaches, coolant flash, plasma back flash,…. So while some grouse about why the Sergeant discarded his pistol after only two shots at the psyker,…whether one, two, or none of those shots was overcharged, he wasn’t going to risk a third. And when getting sucked into The Orb you know he’d push that dial to twelve cause,…why not? But either this time he rolled Snake Eyes, or the Orb just contained and rebounded it right back through his hand.
They also prepared a plan C for the chained orb: it's surrounded by melta bombs. The better explanation I've seen about what happened in the Warp, is related to the line of dialogue you missed: "we will never survive." The free orb tried to drag the Space Marines to the Warp, but its use of psychic energy attracted the attention of some other "bigger fish" in the Warp, and was promptly consumed before it could take its captives to their doom. So both of them knew it was extremely dangerous to jump into the Warp with their psychic powers active, and they were right.
@@dkosmari yeah, I was just going off memory for the Orb Chat. Could be mugged by a warp critter, or getting the physical component ended by ship destruction. Six of one, half dozen of the other. 👍
Sister of Silence and the adepta sororitas are my favorite factions. The sister of silence are hilarious they can't speak, but they be talking so much shi+ in theirs heads in the books rofl.
@jasperzanovich2504 yes it's a oath to the emperor, like a loyalty thing. They actually communicate through sign language and are the second only to Custodes, as the only people who can even live around the Emperor.
@BornBitter For the Sisters of battle (Nuns with guns) -rose in darkness -morveen vahl spear of faith Just be mindful that these are different orders for the nuns. these are 2 different ones that follow the same premise but different saints. Sister of Silence -watchers of the throne (It covers 3 perspectives 1. Custodes (emperor elite guards), sisters of silence, and the politics of the empire. Starts slow introducing you to the atmosphere and then dropping into pure combat halfway through til the end.)
There are women in the every element of the Imperium except the Custodes and the Adeptus Astartes (and even then they still have women serving alongside them as far as I know). The process for making those doesn't work on a female physiology.
The gene seed implantation to make Astartes doesn't work on females (the Big E was on the clock and didn't have time to fix the problems). The hand crafted Custodes procedure is never described, but it's mentioned they are picked partly for useful personality traits that are enhanced. (Real reason, GW wanted to sell more plastic crack and many of the online channels were getting a bit vocally facist. Bad optics)
I just came across y'all a few days ago watching the past couple of weeks WH40K videos and this is exactly what I needed tonight. Haven't watched yet, but knowing she knows the lore is gonna make this sooooo much better.
y'all should check out the videos that some sort of doctor on youtube did about the space marine surgeries... but it does get a bit too detailed for good reaction content for a lot of it
That location at the very end, my opinion is that it's the Desolate City. It's an obscure piece of lore, but basically, you've got the four Chaos gods, right, and all of them have their own realms inside of the warp (Nurgle's Garden, The Brass Citadel, The Impossible Fortress and The Palace of Slaanesh). Basically, as the emperor is undergoing apotheosis to become his own Chaos god, this realm, the Desolate City comes into the picture; A massive, ruined imperial city with the streets littered with ground up piles of bones and ash. I've got nothing to really substantiate it though apart from that light attacking the daemonic tentacle entity, which I perceive as the Emperor saving his marines.
I always dug the part of this video when the Space Marines pass the regular crewmen in the passageway. It just a great way visualize the shear size of the Astartes, those full grown men look like toddlers in comparison.
The ball things were non-canon warp aliens. The psychers were Astartes who had their heads cut off, and new heads grafted. You can see more heads in the room with the Man of Gold that the warp-xenos are trying to recreate. At the end, they were in the Marianna Trench, long bereft of water, and an atheistic tribe of people carved their kings into the wall. He’s not the only one there; on the small pillars, you can see a blip of light.
Great video! What happens toward the end is that the two xeno organisms communicate and work together so that the one stuck with the space marine squad may escape. The inquisitor psyker tries to warn his superior of this plan (the glance he does) and loses controls, resulting in his corruption. The xeno manages to escape into the warp (it is the tentacle thing we see for a second there) but gets killed immediately by another unknown warp entity. The one-handed space marine ends up back in real space at at unknown location.
Another reason why those 4 thrones may not be the chaos gods is because they don't like each other but they also dont hate each other and they'll only work together if the end resumt doesnt put one of the pthers over them.
Ahh, the boarding torpedo. Seriously one of the craziest sci fi concepts in 40k, I've never seen any other sci fi universe with freaking BOARDING TORPEDOES!
Of course the Boarding Torpedo is not the only method. You have Assault Craft like the Shark and the Cassius Assault Ram, which looks like the case here.
oh and btw, there is a version with subtitles on for the spoken part with orbs and the inquisition. it really helps with understanding the overall plot :)
So, explanation time. No tl;dr. First off, the entirety of Astartes 1-5 (it was 5 separate youtube videos at the time) was made by 1 person (it's become a meme to say this at this point, like Lord of The Rings and the broken toe.) ONE dude did the lighting, sound, animations. Games workshop found out, because it got so popular, and hired the dude. They made him take down the videos and now they're on their paid site. Everyone was kinda worried they'd just hire him and forget about him, but he's clearly been putting in work for Secret Level and Astartes 2 coming up. He's probably doing what he loves and gets paid for it. Cool. As for the story, from what I've gleaned from watching it multiple times and seeing some explanations. Those 2 orbs are xenos, and or, warp entities inside of some xenos. Those 2 "people" with the spinal cords outside their bodies were the orbs' puppets. That giant unfinished one was essentially those 2 dudes, but the size of a skyscraper. That army was the followers of those warp entities. That tentacle thing was their real form in the warp. When it touched the marines it lit up like a lighthouse on a clear moonless night. So in the warp it's survival of the fittest. That tentacle thing lit up and another, stronger, entity went, "OOO FREE FOOD" and killed it. That sent the marines off in different directions out of the warp. The main dude ended up on some who knows where planet. As for the inquisitorial psyker. He was a fly on the wall to their conversation, "We have all failed, we must retreat, we must take the alpha." etc. He was masking himself to them, essentially invisible to them in the warp. He broke his concentration to warn the other marines that, "Hey, GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE, they want to possess me." When he did that, he wasn't invisible to them anymore and they got him. When a pysker is possessed like that, it's game over. It has happened on other planets before, and the only option is exterminatus (destroy the whole planet) because the warp will open up through that psyker and everything will start pouring through. As for why they did what they did. You have to destroy the body completely. If you just behead them then the head will start laughing as the body becomes a portal, bad news. So, the leader blew up his head (with his fist) and the other marine shot the body into a red mist. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, have fun.
Don't forget the flamers. Lots and lots of flamers. (SoB never met a piece of equipment they didn't want to strap a (heavy) flamer to and carry into battle...I love 'em for it!)
This never gets old. Never got deep into it (I'm a Battletech/MechWarrior stan) but WH never fails to bring the cool factor. Edit. In the off chance you want to give a Battletech vid a shot, go straight to "The Charger" by Tex and the Black Pants Legion. All their old stuff is amazing but that vid is a masterpiece. And stay for the end credits song. You'll know why when you see it. So good. Love you guys
Yup, she had the best reaction. She gets how cool it is. She was trying to make connections based on what she knows. She was wrong a few times but her assumptions showed good logic. I mean this is a bonkers universe and she has barely dipped a toe in. I had so much fun watching her have fun watching this fantastic representation of a world I love. Just great.
Always makes me smile how many people miss that there are a row of spines in the background when they walk past the statue, implying that they are using the wiring from the statue to artificially boost the power of the psykers, which is either a tech heresy or more likely xenos in nature, linked to leaders of the uprisings
Just to remark on something Tasha said in the video: The Mechanicus can ABSOLUTELY fight. They've got huge armies of cyborg soldiers and shackled robots with weapons and war machines that make the ones they give Space Marines look like toys. Not to mention the Titan legions, whole armies of giant war mecha with whole cathedrals built on their backs. The Mechanicus keeps all of the best stuff for themselves and they're terribly deadly when they see something they want. The only reason they don't rule the whole imperium is that they don't have the numbers.
OK, I've watched this what feels like 30 times now and I think I get it: These Space marines used that torpedo-shuttle thing to kill the Rebellion Leaders. In 40k, large battleships are large to a grossly exaggerated degree like everything else. People in the engine decks live and die generationally having never visited other parts of the ship. There's room to hide stuff. Stuff like a couple of Chaos Cultists in creepy/awesome gold masks building monsters and leading a rebellion. On this Rebellion battleship, there's one of those grey spheres. They are a creature type from the warp, and are connected to each other. Using what appear to be giant USB sticks, the space marines take control of the sphere to send a message to the second sphere that the red robe guy is hooked up to. I think, the space marines simply report in mission success. Then the warp takes over, or the creatures themselves as they are typically hostile, so everybody in direct contact with a sphere has a bad time. I also have no idea where the space marines were taken to.
Spheres are aliens with a previously unknown type of psychedelic use and a shield that protects them from warp. They tried to create a new body through mental domination (golden statue only made), but failed due to Astartes' interference. They dragged Astartes into the bait and tried to escape safely through the warp, and the interrogator who warned it was mentally ruled and executed. The alien who then entered the warp was eaten by the warp creature because the bait operation did not work, and the Astartes squad emerges from uncharted space.
i think they got pulled with c'tan shard to the the prison, the one of old necrontiir worlds. also that gold hude statues/creation is probably c'tan ascended that was unfinished. that golden stuff on ball and statue is necron metal , forgot how its called
This was made by one guy, by himself, in college over the span of years. It was originally released in 5 parts. When he made it, it was pure fan fiction but GW has since made it canon.
5:19 oh, Mechanicus fight alright (the game called "Mechanicus" is literally about a "scientific expedition" casually fighting through the Necron tomb of all things), they have tons of battle branches and top-notch means of destruction they are preserving for themselves. They're not even close as numerous as the Imperium's regular forces and might not be able to stand even against its "few" elite forces only, but they are deadly nevertheless. For one thing, Mechanicus don't really use psykers (apart from navigators or astropaths out of necessity) as that's considered a practice as far from Omnissiah as it gets.
My personal interpretation of where they end up at the end is perhaps a truly ancient nectrontyr homeworld- a place where the necrons lived when they were still flesh and blood. We know they reveared and worshipped their dead, and their entire societies were essentially built into massive tomb complexes due to how short their lifespans were. The thrones could represent many many generations of necrontyr nobles.from the past. As for the spheres, i wouldn't be surprised if they were ctan shards, but very weak ones. The self repairing nature of their physical bodies certainly seems to fit the necrodermis exterior of ctan and necron forms, but at the same time this feels inadequate as they see to drag the astartes through the warp, which is anathema to the ctan.
The craft at the start that they use to board the enemy ship is a Caestus Assault Ram. It's fitted with twin-linked Magna Meltas (BIG honkin microwave guns) that literally burn a hole into the ship's hull so they can board, and it can hold up to two squads of Astartes. Boltguns fire .75 calibre mass-reactive rounds (meaning they explode when surrounded by mass, like A BODY). Plasma pistols can only fire a few shots before overheating and potentially exploding, but they are powerful and as such are usually taken by squad leaders/sergeants who will use them most effectively. Space Marine Power Armour is made of ceramite, a special ceramic-alloy blend that is proof against many weapons, including Imperial Guard lasguns. It is also servo-boosted, giving the wearer enhanced strength and speed, an Astartes in full gear can sprint at upwards of 55mph, and it has been said of them that nothing that big should move that fast.
They don't board the ship using a ship of their own, they use a torpedo to board the ship. Only Astartes survive that trip, normal men turn to soup when they try to ride that.
Whether she was right or not isn't important, I just love how Tasha cooked. I feel like Syama (the creator) made everything intentionally vague in order to facilitate exactly that kind of speculation and allow viewers to let their imagination go wild trying to figure out what is going on. Some of my favorite media leaves a lot to the imagination and allows the audience to really use their imagination actively instead of just passively absorbing, so watching her try to make sense of things and imagine possibilities was really cool. Tons of people have done all sorts of writeups all over youtube, reddit, etc. about what they think happened in this story, and if you watch it enough, and are familiar enough with the source material, you can kind of piece things together to an extent. But it's still vague enough that plenty of interpretations are valid. My personal interpretation is this: It's an ancient unknown xenos empire, whose member or leader or the like's spirit was housed in the sphere artifacts and they were found or traveled to the world Argosa. They granted power to some humans there and turned them into the two psychers, with the intent of raising an army and rebuilding their empire and gathering their fallen brethren. The first battle on the ship was them capturing the first orb, that we see later corrupts the guy who connects to it. They use that orb to track down the main base of these aliens, who were building a giant golden mobile body to probably eventually transfer the spirit within the spheres into. Then you see the two sphere spirits talk, and the one on the ship tells the one in the base with the Astartes to "Take them" because it's likely that if they can capture both of them, that they would either be wiped out, or if there is more out there they could easily track and destroy them all. So the one with the Astartes absorbs that team, and tries to teleport away with them, but while in the warp (the black thing where the tendrils are attached), they get attacked by some other creature from the warp and destroyed (perhaps the remnants of the psycher who was corrupted), and then the Astartes were tossed out on their own onto the former world that those aliens once ruled.
oh no this contains spoilser for part 2 of the factions reaction :O But great working trying to get the wife involved :) you are doing what many of us couldnt haha.
What you saw in turn was: 1: giant gold guy, was the necrodermis shell of a ctan 2: giant gold ball, was the shard that holds the true essence 3: the hall of the dead, was the homeworld of the necrontyr
Btw not a lasergun but a plasma weapon. Only poor soldiers get Lasguns. :) And if we can believe the Astartes 2 Trailer it will have Terminators in it! These are the real badass armors.
There's TONS of awesome female characters written all over the Imperium, GW knows that since they can't be Space Marines, they still need powerful chicks too, so we have a lot of great stories about Imperial Guardswomen, Sisters of Battle like you mentioned, Naval Officers, Rogue Traders, Inquisitors (results may vary lol), Commissars, and Psykers of all kinds. Mechanicus are some of the Imperiums best fighting forces even outside their machines of war btw. From hordes of technologically advanced clone troops that can ravage both the battlefield and enemy technology, to insanely powerfully modified bodies able to put up a fight against Space Marines with as little effort as Space marines go through unaugmented humans, to Dark Age technology or similar weaponry that can obliterate entire worlds or set fire to space itself or even teleport entire worlds across the galaxy, to the most potent Naval ships in the entire Imperium that laugh off most the weaponry the galaxy can throw at them. Sorry to rant, just love my toaster boys!
You wanna know the really scary thing? Those psykers are considered *weak* by the standards of the setting, more powerful ones would have likely solo'd the entire squad
Funny how two people can have the almost same look on their face and represent completely different emotions. One in disgust and one in admiration. Tell ma after THAT, you don't want an Armor suit.... "Bless this weapon as an instrument of your will. Let it vanquish our enemies in righteous fury and protect me from evil." ...a soldier's prayer.
For anyone new, watch the original versions of Astartes that have the original scores/ music. It's so much better than the GW music that they made him change to. Unfortunately they watched the changed version here.
4:05 normally no they don’t need to however space marines have vox casters in their helmets so they can communicate to each other without anyone knowing. 5:20 skitarii players would differ lol
See if you can get your hands on the second episode of the Tithes series (episode called Harvest). It touches on the collection of psykers to feed the emperor (don't tell her that beforehand though), and stars a female Adeptus Custodes/Sisters of Silence duo
@@blackrazer22 This statement is demonstrably wrong. Even if you disagree with the current canon, you cannot dispute that Games Workshop, whose word trump your head-canon, deliberately made a show telling us there are. We can argue ad nauseam about why and its legitimacy, but the fact remains that as long as a single example exist, then female Custodians are a thing. You may choose to ignore this. You may pick and choose from all the lore old and new to build a version you enjoy, (There's nothing wrong with that, I do it with Star Wars all the time) but that doesn't change the reality of what is canonically true in the setting, however midi-chlorian stupid you think it is. There is nothing more to be said about this. Further discussion is pointless
@IvanDrugostrov the statement is disputed never is entire history where female custodians ever mentioned. It is not canon there have been no stories on it and the figures if there are ever figures will never sell. This is nothing but an attempt by tourist to the hobby to inject identity politics. Sadly games workshop has been captured by woke idiots trying to push a political agenda past its sell-by date.
So the place at the end, is a place for corruption. Multiple corpses on a throne clearly to awake though that leads to more though. Soon he will ask questions. And finally get corrupted. The demon who took them in the warp got killed by other bigger demon and that Demon put him there. So that place has nothing to do with the pre fight. Ofc this is just my theory from my side. She compared the balls to the old ones, and I think the same. Eisenhorn did encounter a huge ball in a meteoritt, that ball has been imprisoned by the old ones. So I think the same. The demon that sucked them inn I belive possessed the ball after it got injected by the space marines. Demons are close to high level phycers, and the praying dude was a Powerful one and the balls where playing with him so even more powerful. The praying dude knew he was going to die, and get corrupted. He is an inquisitor and probably was the boss of the space marines. He asked the two other space marines in white to guard him and kill him when he got corrupted. I know there is officiall explanation from the creator but I like to try figur it out, and I am not smart.
So…yeah. This enemy is supposedly made up just for this story, but they do match up a fair bit to a known enemy called the Yu’Vath, who make use of Warp technology and can enslave the minds of others, without having a bodily form themselves. Anyway, the audio is bad where the Inquisitor is eavesdropping on the spheres, but one is reporting failure to the other and gets told to “break their seal” and return through the Warp, to which the one replies that’s impossible, he’ll never survive. And he doesn’t. You see him get destroyed as from a big shotgun blast in the Warp (there are all kinds of predators in the Warp, and he got got). The tentacles then release the marines back into real space. Where they landed could be anywhere, but it also matches up to the description of the Marianas Trench right on good old Earth in the 40K lore. In the 41st millennium Earth is an oceanless hellscape, and the Marianas Trench is said to be covered in huge statues of the kings of a long-forgotten civilization that once made its home there in the trench walls.
You did not post the second video when your wife leans about the sister of battle, imperial knights, chaos, and aliens. I wanted to see your wife's reaction to the sister of Battle. They are my army.
Might come as a shock to some but yes at the end, the space marine is standing in the warp pretty much. Unlikely to come out of there sane and alive either. Those giant skeletons sitting on the chairs are twisted representations of the Emperor on his throne the way the chaos sees him/wants their enemies to see him. If i'm not mistaken the rest of the skeletons are just there for psychological torment, a play on the countless dead and the insignificance of any single individual. Ironically this is probably the space marines worst inner deep thoughts being manifested or it could also just be one of the chaos gods messing with them directly.
Astartes 2 has just been announced on the channel Digital Bones
So this is perfect timing
Oh shit, really! Dang!
The full trailer just dropped today on the Warhammer+ RUclips channel!!!
@@RustyShackleford9000 Yeah it did as well.
However, I'm more for supporting Syama Pedersen, who owns Digital Bones, over Games Workshop, who keep blocking fan made projects.
That's why Astartes has two versions, and the original version was taken off Syama Pedersen's channel.
@ but they hired Sayama now, he worked on the Secret Level Warhammer episode.
@ You think he had much choice?
Either, they take down his content, which means he get's no revenue, and will no longer be able to do W40K content, or he works for them, and keeps doing what he loves.
GW has been doing a lot of questionable stuff over the last couple of years, and many 40K fans are not happy with them.
I can see the positives as well, however it looks like anyone who wants to watch Astartes 2 is gonna have to subscribe to Warhammer+.
Which isn't exactly cheap either.
I won't have an issue if they include it on Prime Video, however I highly doubt that.
*From having watched the original series when first released and based on the discussions held in the comments section there, here's a rough outline of what's happening:*
*A heretic separatist group has been tracked down by the Astartes. They are believed to be harboring an alien artifact or being that must be found, captured, and/or destroyed. The Astartes board the heretic's vessel in the asteroid belt, making their way to the containment vault (the big, spherical "O2" structure).*
*Along the way they cut through the cannon fodder of heretic soldiers. They then face off against the twin-linked psykers guarding the entrance to the vault. Though posing a bit more of a challenge, the Astartes' superior tactics of distraction and suppressing fire allow them to prevail. Whereupon they enter the vault.*
*Back on the Astartes' ship, their commanding officer views what the Astartes are seeing through video feeds that are part of the Space Marines' armor. The commander and an assumed second-in-command leave the command deck to consult with their Inguisitor psyker (the kneeling figure deep in meditation). Inquisitor's are essentially the Imperium's secret police force, but perform a broad variety of duties. In this case, the Inquisitor appears to be psychically linked to the captured sphere floating, chained, in the chamber.*
*As the Astartes on the heretic's ship advance through the vault, they come across a giant, golden, humanoid construct in the process of being built (speculation is it was to be a vessel for the alien Warp being to inhabit, becoming the leader of the heretics, and directing them on to whatever victory or rule they hoped to accomplish with their scheme; a powerful body for a powerful psyker). Advancing further into the chamber, they come across a sphere similar to the one seen back on the Space Marines' command vessel. Only this one is unbound and and psychically active. It attempts, unsuccessfully, to stop the Astartes' advance using telekinesis.*
*Back on the command ship, the Inquisitorial psyker is seen eavesdropping in on the telepathic conversation between the captured sphere on the Astartes' ship and the one on the heretics' ship. The spheres become aware of the psyker. The captured one, in an attempt to aid its brother on the heretic ship by acting as a distraction, possesses the psyker. The psyker is then quickly dispatched by the commanding officer Space Marine and his second-in-command. Remember: a possessed psyker can act as a portal for all sorts of horrors from the Warp to gain access to the realm of the Materium (our universe).*
*The commanding officer, just before killing the possessed psyker, had sent a subordinate to warn the Astartes aboard the heretics' ship. However, it's too late. While in the midst of conducting the operation to dampen its psychic abilities (the staves they thrust into it) and capture the entity, it retreats into the Warp as previously instructed by its brethren aboard the Astartes' ship, dragging the Space Marines along with it. We briefly see its true form before it is destroyed by a black shadow sweeping across it (some speculate it is the soul of the recently deceased Inquisitorial psyker taking out the alien Warp being in one last act of heroism to save the captured Astartes).*
*The Astartes are then deposited in the Warp, god knows where (remember: the Warp is infinite), their eventual fate unknown. As to the "thrones" you mention at the end of the video, if you look closely you see a small flash of light atop each pillar. It's believed that's the other members of the Astartes' platoon, each being deposited onto a separate pillar from one another.*
I remember these debates and I'm glad the Space Marine is both armed and armoured and has a few others backing him up at the end. Whatever may come their trained for practically anything, near impossible to die by natural means and have their power armour. It'll be tough but survival in the Warp is not impossible.
I agree with almost all of this, except for the warp thing at the end. There is absolutely no indication that they were dragged to the warp rather than deposited on some planet elsewhere.
The black shadow is also speculated to be a true Daemon that has been attracted to all the psychic activity.
The planet we see in the background of the space sequence is the same colour as where they arrive, so most likely that they were dropped off on the planet - the warp may be infinite, but travel through it still takes time
@asianbandit4054 wasn't there also a concensus that the orbs were relics left by the oovath
@@Nathan5027 Wich also works
Both theories could be right, cause thats just how Bonkers 40k is.
I do believe tho that they are not in the Warp at the end, but got teleported someplace else.
I do love though that the Ending vista of all these gigantic skeletal figures, reminds me of a Zdzisław Beksiński painting.
She's thinking of custodes, golden protectors... but nah not them. Good that she's actually keeping up though, it's a lot to grasp 😅
Apparently Amazon initially said they didn’t want to do anything with the Sisters of Battle because they are “too religious”. Now that Henry is producing the new shows it’s rumored they will be a big part!
I can't wait for people to see some really bad ass female characters.
Sisters of Battle already appeared in the animated series Pariah Nexus. That series came out in 2023, so I'm calling shenanigans on your statement.
@@HideyoshiKinoshita84 They barely scratched the religious part.. but i feel they did portray it fairly well there, especially since it focused on individuals and not just 'what they were'...
if “too religious” was their line how in tf did they think they were gonna be able to do anything Warhammer 40K, hopefully cavil made them realize how dumb that idea is
What are they afraid of?
Showing the insanity of cults?
Or afraid of promoting it?
I don't think any sane person would see them as anything but fanatical insane zealots with a su ici de fetish.
So we can watch the news and see that in our own timeline with I slam and such but can't show it in fiction?
(Not saying the other Abrah a mic are any better btw. It is just the one I grew up with XD)
I will never not watch someone else watch Astartes.
Particularly the face punch scene. Love people's reaction to that
@@davehallam3894 My favorite part of Astartes. Very clearly lets you know that space marines do not hesitate and respond with absolute brutality.
Tee's like a kid showing his friends the best new thing in the world! His enthusiasm is contagious for sure. You guys are awesome and I'm loving every minute of your journey of discovery in this insane W40k universe.
The best to you, yours and the folks in the comments.
I’ve watched Astartes 20 times. I always watch reaction videos of it. To see how people are blown away by this piece of art (made by one person) still makes me smile years later!
We haven’t seen her reaction to the sisters of battle
It's so funny knowing what we know about our girls, and she was thinking if they're doing the girls wrong and making them whores.
I hope they can appreciate that this whole thing was made by 1 guy over the course of several years
ooh in the astartes series they are against an ancient xeno species (yu vath ... or something ) and they were slavers( they use psychic control), normally they would have been destroyed during the great crusade but surprisingly some survived
Spheres are aliens with a previously unknown type of psychedelic use and a shield that protects them from warp. They tried to create a new body through mental domination (golden statue only made), but failed due to Astartes' interference. They dragged Astartes into the bait and tried to escape safely through the warp, and the interrogator who warned it was mentally ruled and executed. The alien who then entered the warp was eaten by the warp creature because the bait operation did not work, and the Astartes squad emerges from uncharted space.
Two separate entities (twin beings?) from the warp. One took control of a group and started having their worshippers build a body for it to possess in the material world. That’s my general interpretation.
everyone always misses all the smaller skull link thingies on either side of it as well
Time is weird in 40k, but canonically the current phase is set in the early 42nd millenium or 41,000AD+ The event shown in Astartes takes place a bit over 2,500 years earlier. I bring it up as a way of contrasting it to how that is equivalent to 475BC and today. The Roman Republic was only 34 years old, and Jesus wouldn't be born until almost 5 centuries later. The events of Astartes are likely documented somewhere on parchment or a data-slate somewhere on Terra. Good look finding it though :P
Just to let you know.
This was made by one guy in New Zealand from start to finish.
There was an average of 1 - 2 years between the episodes.
4:26 notice how the multi laser gunner shot his own pals just to kill 1 space marine 4:33 here we have perfect shot with a plasma pistol
Oh no, Adeptus Mechanicus do fight...they got some messed up units :D
She’s just starting to figure it all out, give her time to see the beauty of the Omnissiah.
They ARE talking to eachother, just in their helmets so we can’t hear them. If you watch again you can see the head movements of orders and chatter that we are not privy to
yea like in Helsreach
When the squad enters the room with the partially completed,…body, if you look at the shadowed perimeter you’ll see rows and rows of disembodied heads with spinal cords, like that on the earlier "Psyker Leaders". What it seems to indicate is given the leaders were far taller than the normal human troops and on the level with Astartes, these rebellion leaders are both psyker AND cybernetic. A "Brain-In-A-Jar" with a psy-amp spine (which probably needs to be external due to bulk and emission issues), routed into a supporting robotic body.
That giant body that was under construction could be for a) to work as a housing for a group of the "Jar Heads", or b) it’s the future body for The Orb.
Now back on the battleship, the figure plugged into the other Orb is a psyker of the Inquisition (the symbol on his back and Imperial rosary). Not only is the Orb shackled in a containment vessel, it’s in a vault covered with wards, incense, and purity seals. And for good measure, there’s a Retributor guard on hand. Not so much to guard the vault, but to kill the Inquisitor if they get possessed.
The Inquisitor basically got to listening in on the chatter between The Orbs. Basically:
"Who’s there?"
"Brother, we have failed. The they resist my touch."
"We must not lose. Break your seal. Take them."
The Inquisitor yelled to the Captain to pull back the squad, it was a trap. But that lapse in concentration let the Orb Entity break its own bonds, and surge all or some of itself into the Inquisitor. Thus Plan B. ("The letter of the day kids is B! B as in Bolter!")
Now as the squad is absorbed and being reeled in on those umbilicals to the glow, something streaks up from the lower right and snuffs it out. I suspect that was a torpedo (or six) from the battleship to destroy that cruiser. So instead of what was likely to happen, the whole squad landing in a giant skeleton’s hand to be consumed in warp fire, they get dumped and scattered. And given the color of the ground and sky, my money is not on it being the Warp but being on the planet the rebel cruiser was in orbit over.
Oh! And the plasma pistol! Yeah, Imperial plasma weapons can be rather touchy. Fire them too fast or gamble with an overcharge and you can take yourself out with your own weapon with containment breaches, coolant flash, plasma back flash,…. So while some grouse about why the Sergeant discarded his pistol after only two shots at the psyker,…whether one, two, or none of those shots was overcharged, he wasn’t going to risk a third. And when getting sucked into The Orb you know he’d push that dial to twelve cause,…why not? But either this time he rolled Snake Eyes, or the Orb just contained and rebounded it right back through his hand.
Amazing explanation! I never knew these points before and always kinda wondered many different things in the "Astartes". ❤
They also prepared a plan C for the chained orb: it's surrounded by melta bombs.
The better explanation I've seen about what happened in the Warp, is related to the line of dialogue you missed: "we will never survive." The free orb tried to drag the Space Marines to the Warp, but its use of psychic energy attracted the attention of some other "bigger fish" in the Warp, and was promptly consumed before it could take its captives to their doom. So both of them knew it was extremely dangerous to jump into the Warp with their psychic powers active, and they were right.
@@dkosmari yeah, I was just going off memory for the Orb Chat. Could be mugged by a warp critter, or getting the physical component ended by ship destruction. Six of one, half dozen of the other. 👍
Sister of Silence and the adepta sororitas are my favorite factions. The sister of silence are hilarious they can't speak, but they be talking so much shi+ in theirs heads in the books rofl.
Cool. I think you just sold a book or two. What are your favorite Nuns with Guns books?
Just so this isn't misunderstood.
The Sisters of Silence are able too speak but they made a vow not to.
@jasperzanovich2504 yes it's a oath to the emperor, like a loyalty thing. They actually communicate through sign language and are the second only to Custodes, as the only people who can even live around the Emperor.
@BornBitter For the Sisters of battle (Nuns with guns)
-rose in darkness
-morveen vahl spear of faith
Just be mindful that these are different orders for the nuns. these are 2 different ones that follow the same premise but different saints.
Sister of Silence
-watchers of the throne
(It covers 3 perspectives 1. Custodes (emperor elite guards), sisters of silence, and the politics of the empire. Starts slow introducing you to the atmosphere and then dropping into pure combat halfway through til the end.)
There are women in the every element of the Imperium except the Custodes and the Adeptus Astartes (and even then they still have women serving alongside them as far as I know). The process for making those doesn't work on a female physiology.
The custodes now have women in them but astartes can’t
@@carlstanford7607 heresy of the highest order
@@carlstanford7607 Yeah...I heard about the changes to the lore.
The gene seed implantation to make Astartes doesn't work on females (the Big E was on the clock and didn't have time to fix the problems). The hand crafted Custodes procedure is never described, but it's mentioned they are picked partly for useful personality traits that are enhanced. (Real reason, GW wanted to sell more plastic crack and many of the online channels were getting a bit vocally facist. Bad optics)
I just came across y'all a few days ago watching the past couple of weeks WH40K videos and this is exactly what I needed tonight. Haven't watched yet, but knowing she knows the lore is gonna make this sooooo much better.
y'all should check out the videos that some sort of doctor on youtube did about the space marine surgeries... but it does get a bit too detailed for good reaction content for a lot of it
I think she actually might be more into the lore than you at this point... hold onto that woman brother
I appreciate you telling her you didn't know wtf was going on and I'm not sure any of us do, but good looking out for her on that
16 minutes in and I just wanna say y'all are a wholesome ass couple and I wish all the best things for y'all.
omg if they took this and made it a full length movie I would buy it.
This was made by one guy. He was hired by Gamesworkshop, and was an artist for the Secret Level episode about Warhammer.
I love the journey you guys are taking into 40K
Might i suggest reacting to “A Vox in the Void” especially the Gav and Bob stories
That location at the very end, my opinion is that it's the Desolate City. It's an obscure piece of lore, but basically, you've got the four Chaos gods, right, and all of them have their own realms inside of the warp (Nurgle's Garden, The Brass Citadel, The Impossible Fortress and The Palace of Slaanesh).
Basically, as the emperor is undergoing apotheosis to become his own Chaos god, this realm, the Desolate City comes into the picture; A massive, ruined imperial city with the streets littered with ground up piles of bones and ash.
I've got nothing to really substantiate it though apart from that light attacking the daemonic tentacle entity, which I perceive as the Emperor saving his marines.
I always dug the part of this video when the Space Marines pass the regular crewmen in the passageway. It just a great way visualize the shear size of the Astartes, those full grown men look like toddlers in comparison.
Still blows me away that a single person made this. So happy he was part of Secret Level, and even happier he has a big part in Astartes II
13:16 I imagine this is what it would be like if you were sucked into Beksinski's paintings
The ball things were non-canon warp aliens. The psychers were Astartes who had their heads cut off, and new heads grafted. You can see more heads in the room with the Man of Gold that the warp-xenos are trying to recreate. At the end, they were in the Marianna Trench, long bereft of water, and an atheistic tribe of people carved their kings into the wall. He’s not the only one there; on the small pillars, you can see a blip of light.
That scene where they kill the corrupted psyker is ICONIC
Great video! What happens toward the end is that the two xeno organisms communicate and work together so that the one stuck with the space marine squad may escape. The inquisitor psyker tries to warn his superior of this plan (the glance he does) and loses controls, resulting in his corruption. The xeno manages to escape into the warp (it is the tentacle thing we see for a second there) but gets killed immediately by another unknown warp entity. The one-handed space marine ends up back in real space at at unknown location.
Another reason why those 4 thrones may not be the chaos gods is because they don't like each other but they also dont hate each other and they'll only work together if the end resumt doesnt put one of the pthers over them.
Just as important.. did you know this was animated by ONE person? ;)
Just in time! They just put out a teaser trailer for the next part!
Ahh, the boarding torpedo. Seriously one of the craziest sci fi concepts in 40k, I've never seen any other sci fi universe with freaking BOARDING TORPEDOES!
Of course the Boarding Torpedo is not the only method. You have Assault Craft like the Shark and the Cassius Assault Ram, which looks like the case here.
you need too read and watch more sci fi stuff lol
@ heh,…I read a LOT. And decades of a military background.
oh and btw, there is a version with subtitles on for the spoken part with orbs and the inquisition. it really helps with understanding the overall plot :)
So, explanation time. No tl;dr.
First off, the entirety of Astartes 1-5 (it was 5 separate youtube videos at the time) was made by 1 person (it's become a meme to say this at this point, like Lord of The Rings and the broken toe.) ONE dude did the lighting, sound, animations. Games workshop found out, because it got so popular, and hired the dude. They made him take down the videos and now they're on their paid site. Everyone was kinda worried they'd just hire him and forget about him, but he's clearly been putting in work for Secret Level and Astartes 2 coming up. He's probably doing what he loves and gets paid for it. Cool.
As for the story, from what I've gleaned from watching it multiple times and seeing some explanations. Those 2 orbs are xenos, and or, warp entities inside of some xenos. Those 2 "people" with the spinal cords outside their bodies were the orbs' puppets. That giant unfinished one was essentially those 2 dudes, but the size of a skyscraper. That army was the followers of those warp entities. That tentacle thing was their real form in the warp. When it touched the marines it lit up like a lighthouse on a clear moonless night. So in the warp it's survival of the fittest. That tentacle thing lit up and another, stronger, entity went, "OOO FREE FOOD" and killed it. That sent the marines off in different directions out of the warp. The main dude ended up on some who knows where planet.
As for the inquisitorial psyker. He was a fly on the wall to their conversation, "We have all failed, we must retreat, we must take the alpha." etc. He was masking himself to them, essentially invisible to them in the warp. He broke his concentration to warn the other marines that, "Hey, GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE, they want to possess me." When he did that, he wasn't invisible to them anymore and they got him. When a pysker is possessed like that, it's game over. It has happened on other planets before, and the only option is exterminatus (destroy the whole planet) because the warp will open up through that psyker and everything will start pouring through. As for why they did what they did. You have to destroy the body completely. If you just behead them then the head will start laughing as the body becomes a portal, bad news. So, the leader blew up his head (with his fist) and the other marine shot the body into a red mist.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, have fun.
Yup, great synopsis. I like your take on this.
"They just boarded the ship by ramming into it"... yep, we've done this for thousands of years in real life.
Adepta (not Adeptus, the A denotes feminine) Sororitas (like a Sorority at a college. With guns. Really big guns)
Don't forget the flamers. Lots and lots of flamers.
(SoB never met a piece of equipment they didn't want to strap a (heavy) flamer to and carry into battle...I love 'em for it!)
@@iDEATH And battle tanks that have built-in church pipe organs which are also the gun, for some reason
love seeing people introduced to warhammer, such a great video!
If you ever fight chaos never eat Froot Loops in advance!
Lol
This never gets old. Never got deep into it (I'm a Battletech/MechWarrior stan) but WH never fails to bring the cool factor.
Edit. In the off chance you want to give a Battletech vid a shot, go straight to "The Charger" by Tex and the Black Pants Legion. All their old stuff is amazing but that vid is a masterpiece. And stay for the end credits song. You'll know why when you see it. So good. Love you guys
You guys have to watch Pariah Nexus next. It shows the gracious nature of the Salamanders chapter and also a Battle Sister.
She can also see Sister of Silence in the action vs a Lictor on some other official animations, very cool
Yup, she had the best reaction. She gets how cool it is. She was trying to make connections based on what she knows. She was wrong a few times but her assumptions showed good logic. I mean this is a bonkers universe and she has barely dipped a toe in.
I had so much fun watching her have fun watching this fantastic representation of a world I love.
Just great.
Always makes me smile how many people miss that there are a row of spines in the background when they walk past the statue, implying that they are using the wiring from the statue to artificially boost the power of the psykers, which is either a tech heresy or more likely xenos in nature, linked to leaders of the uprisings
Just to remark on something Tasha said in the video: The Mechanicus can ABSOLUTELY fight. They've got huge armies of cyborg soldiers and shackled robots with weapons and war machines that make the ones they give Space Marines look like toys. Not to mention the Titan legions, whole armies of giant war mecha with whole cathedrals built on their backs. The Mechanicus keeps all of the best stuff for themselves and they're terribly deadly when they see something they want. The only reason they don't rule the whole imperium is that they don't have the numbers.
Astartes 2 trailer! Astartes 2 trailer!!!
Wait, where is the rest of the factions videos? the last one was cut short
OK, I've watched this what feels like 30 times now and I think I get it:
These Space marines used that torpedo-shuttle thing to kill the Rebellion Leaders. In 40k, large battleships are large to a grossly exaggerated degree like everything else. People in the engine decks live and die generationally having never visited other parts of the ship. There's room to hide stuff. Stuff like a couple of Chaos Cultists in creepy/awesome gold masks building monsters and leading a rebellion. On this Rebellion battleship, there's one of those grey spheres. They are a creature type from the warp, and are connected to each other. Using what appear to be giant USB sticks, the space marines take control of the sphere to send a message to the second sphere that the red robe guy is hooked up to. I think, the space marines simply report in mission success. Then the warp takes over, or the creatures themselves as they are typically hostile, so everybody in direct contact with a sphere has a bad time. I also have no idea where the space marines were taken to.
Spheres are aliens with a previously unknown type of psychedelic use and a shield that protects them from warp. They tried to create a new body through mental domination (golden statue only made), but failed due to Astartes' interference. They dragged Astartes into the bait and tried to escape safely through the warp, and the interrogator who warned it was mentally ruled and executed. The alien who then entered the warp was eaten by the warp creature because the bait operation did not work, and the Astartes squad emerges from uncharted space.
i think they got pulled with c'tan shard to the the prison, the one of old necrontiir worlds. also that gold hude statues/creation is probably c'tan ascended that was unfinished. that golden stuff on ball and statue is necron metal , forgot how its called
This was made by one guy, by himself, in college over the span of years. It was originally released in 5 parts. When he made it, it was pure fan fiction but GW has since made it canon.
Is the faction video out yet, I cant find on on your playlist.
At the end that looks like the Emperor to me XD
5:19 oh, Mechanicus fight alright (the game called "Mechanicus" is literally about a "scientific expedition" casually fighting through the Necron tomb of all things), they have tons of battle branches and top-notch means of destruction they are preserving for themselves. They're not even close as numerous as the Imperium's regular forces and might not be able to stand even against its "few" elite forces only, but they are deadly nevertheless. For one thing, Mechanicus don't really use psykers (apart from navigators or astropaths out of necessity) as that's considered a practice as far from Omnissiah as it gets.
My personal interpretation of where they end up at the end is perhaps a truly ancient nectrontyr homeworld- a place where the necrons lived when they were still flesh and blood.
We know they reveared and worshipped their dead, and their entire societies were essentially built into massive tomb complexes due to how short their lifespans were. The thrones could represent many many generations of necrontyr nobles.from the past.
As for the spheres, i wouldn't be surprised if they were ctan shards, but very weak ones. The self repairing nature of their physical bodies certainly seems to fit the necrodermis exterior of ctan and necron forms, but at the same time this feels inadequate as they see to drag the astartes through the warp, which is anathema to the ctan.
8:32 Talking about Custodes? They’re gold.
The craft at the start that they use to board the enemy ship is a Caestus Assault Ram. It's fitted with twin-linked Magna Meltas (BIG honkin microwave guns) that literally burn a hole into the ship's hull so they can board, and it can hold up to two squads of Astartes.
Boltguns fire .75 calibre mass-reactive rounds (meaning they explode when surrounded by mass, like A BODY). Plasma pistols can only fire a few shots before overheating and potentially exploding, but they are powerful and as such are usually taken by squad leaders/sergeants who will use them most effectively. Space Marine Power Armour is made of ceramite, a special ceramic-alloy blend that is proof against many weapons, including Imperial Guard lasguns. It is also servo-boosted, giving the wearer enhanced strength and speed, an Astartes in full gear can sprint at upwards of 55mph, and it has been said of them that nothing that big should move that fast.
You guys finished watching Bricky's videos, huh? Can't wait to see the reaction to the rest of it
Hey were's the video of her getting into Adeptus Sororitas?? I missed
There is a video made by a creator call Thall iirc that goes through pretty much everything in the video.
They don't board the ship using a ship of their own, they use a torpedo to board the ship. Only Astartes survive that trip, normal men turn to soup when they try to ride that.
Not a lasgun but plasma gun, and not mechanicum, necron etc etc. it is assumed to be a lesser known chaos corrupted xenos race called the yu'vath.
Whether she was right or not isn't important, I just love how Tasha cooked. I feel like Syama (the creator) made everything intentionally vague in order to facilitate exactly that kind of speculation and allow viewers to let their imagination go wild trying to figure out what is going on. Some of my favorite media leaves a lot to the imagination and allows the audience to really use their imagination actively instead of just passively absorbing, so watching her try to make sense of things and imagine possibilities was really cool.
Tons of people have done all sorts of writeups all over youtube, reddit, etc. about what they think happened in this story, and if you watch it enough, and are familiar enough with the source material, you can kind of piece things together to an extent. But it's still vague enough that plenty of interpretations are valid.
My personal interpretation is this: It's an ancient unknown xenos empire, whose member or leader or the like's spirit was housed in the sphere artifacts and they were found or traveled to the world Argosa. They granted power to some humans there and turned them into the two psychers, with the intent of raising an army and rebuilding their empire and gathering their fallen brethren.
The first battle on the ship was them capturing the first orb, that we see later corrupts the guy who connects to it. They use that orb to track down the main base of these aliens, who were building a giant golden mobile body to probably eventually transfer the spirit within the spheres into. Then you see the two sphere spirits talk, and the one on the ship tells the one in the base with the Astartes to "Take them" because it's likely that if they can capture both of them, that they would either be wiped out, or if there is more out there they could easily track and destroy them all. So the one with the Astartes absorbs that team, and tries to teleport away with them, but while in the warp (the black thing where the tendrils are attached), they get attacked by some other creature from the warp and destroyed (perhaps the remnants of the psycher who was corrupted), and then the Astartes were tossed out on their own onto the former world that those aliens once ruled.
oh no this contains spoilser for part 2 of the factions reaction :O
But great working trying to get the wife involved :) you are doing what many of us couldnt haha.
Can't wait to see her Secret Level reaction ^^
wait, have you released the one with the sisters yet? i cannot find it and i want to hear her reaction.
Astartes and Exodites really pushed far what 40K fan production could do.
That no talking thing is cool af. More movies and games need it so bad.
Funny thing is, these aren't even the Primaris Marines. Ooh they are the next step up.
but the faction video u guys did u pause it, theres no part 2
They have a short on Amazon thats really good
Watch _The Last Church._ It's an amazing 40k fan film that is thought-provoking like no other.
What you saw in turn was:
1: giant gold guy, was the necrodermis shell of a ctan
2: giant gold ball, was the shard that holds the true essence
3: the hall of the dead, was the homeworld of the necrontyr
Btw not a lasergun but a plasma weapon. Only poor soldiers get Lasguns. :) And if we can believe the Astartes 2 Trailer it will have Terminators in it! These are the real badass armors.
What timing, when Astartes 2 trailer came out.
There's TONS of awesome female characters written all over the Imperium, GW knows that since they can't be Space Marines, they still need powerful chicks too, so we have a lot of great stories about Imperial Guardswomen, Sisters of Battle like you mentioned, Naval Officers, Rogue Traders, Inquisitors (results may vary lol), Commissars, and Psykers of all kinds.
Mechanicus are some of the Imperiums best fighting forces even outside their machines of war btw. From hordes of technologically advanced clone troops that can ravage both the battlefield and enemy technology, to insanely powerfully modified bodies able to put up a fight against Space Marines with as little effort as Space marines go through unaugmented humans, to Dark Age technology or similar weaponry that can obliterate entire worlds or set fire to space itself or even teleport entire worlds across the galaxy, to the most potent Naval ships in the entire Imperium that laugh off most the weaponry the galaxy can throw at them. Sorry to rant, just love my toaster boys!
You wanna know the really scary thing? Those psykers are considered *weak* by the standards of the setting, more powerful ones would have likely solo'd the entire squad
@TNT please more war hammer 40k reactions.....Helsreach movie reaction is a must watch
So the marines are talking you just cant hear them because their communication systems are closed circuit so they can only hear each other
You realize The Adepta Sororitas would cleanse you for butchering their name. Think Sorority. Sororitas. Pronounce the last T for terminate.
Funny how two people can have the almost same look on their face and represent completely different emotions. One in disgust and one in admiration.
Tell ma after THAT, you don't want an Armor suit....
"Bless this weapon as an instrument of your will. Let it vanquish our enemies in righteous fury and protect me from evil." ...a soldier's prayer.
She's gotta see the Warhammer episode of Secret Level!
Astartes 2 trailer has just dropped
For anyone new, watch the original versions of Astartes that have the original scores/ music. It's so much better than the GW music that they made him change to.
Unfortunately they watched the changed version here.
4:05 normally no they don’t need to however space marines have vox casters in their helmets so they can communicate to each other without anyone knowing.
5:20 skitarii players would differ lol
If she wants to see Sisters of Battle, check out the 9th edition trailer
definitely should watch Helsreach by Richard Boylan who also got hired by Games Workshop
I subscribed after watching your wife react to Warhammer 🤣
Greetings form the Warp and Austria ^^
See if you can get your hands on the second episode of the Tithes series (episode called Harvest). It touches on the collection of psykers to feed the emperor (don't tell her that beforehand though), and stars a female Adeptus Custodes/Sisters of Silence duo
There are no female Custodes.
@@blackrazer22 This statement is demonstrably wrong. Even if you disagree with the current canon, you cannot dispute that Games Workshop, whose word trump your head-canon, deliberately made a show telling us there are. We can argue
ad nauseam about why and its legitimacy, but the fact remains that as long as a single example exist, then female Custodians are a thing. You may choose to ignore this. You may pick and choose from all the lore old and new to build a version you enjoy, (There's nothing wrong with that, I do it with Star Wars all the time) but that doesn't change the reality of what is canonically true in the setting, however midi-chlorian stupid you think it is.
There is nothing more to be said about this. Further discussion is pointless
@IvanDrugostrov the statement is disputed never is entire history where female custodians ever mentioned. It is not canon there have been no stories on it and the figures if there are ever figures will never sell. This is nothing but an attempt by tourist to the hobby to inject identity politics. Sadly games workshop has been captured by woke idiots trying to push a political agenda past its sell-by date.
The original audio fits much better in my opinion.
Reminder: adeptus custodes also have female custodians and they are stronger or as strong as primarchs.
I just love that big smile on dudes face
If yall want to see the sisters fight, watch the warhammer 40K ninth edition trailer!😮😊
So the place at the end, is a place for corruption. Multiple corpses on a throne clearly to awake though that leads to more though. Soon he will ask questions. And finally get corrupted. The demon who took them in the warp got killed by other bigger demon and that Demon put him there. So that place has nothing to do with the pre fight. Ofc this is just my theory from my side.
She compared the balls to the old ones, and I think the same. Eisenhorn did encounter a huge ball in a meteoritt, that ball has been imprisoned by the old ones. So I think the same.
The demon that sucked them inn I belive possessed the ball after it got injected by the space marines. Demons are close to high level phycers, and the praying dude was a Powerful one and the balls where playing with him so even more powerful.
The praying dude knew he was going to die, and get corrupted. He is an inquisitor and probably was the boss of the space marines. He asked the two other space marines in white to guard him and kill him when he got corrupted.
I know there is officiall explanation from the creator but I like to try figur it out, and I am not smart.
Now do the Horus heresy cinematic, then secret level episode 5. You know you want to.
Where is your videos on the factions? Only see the first part, then nothing for several days until now
I haven't uploaded it yet
it will drop tomorrow
@TNTGamingonline awesome sauce. Love seeing your wifes reactions, and also yours being giddy showing her everything
So…yeah. This enemy is supposedly made up just for this story, but they do match up a fair bit to a known enemy called the Yu’Vath, who make use of Warp technology and can enslave the minds of others, without having a bodily form themselves. Anyway, the audio is bad where the Inquisitor is eavesdropping on the spheres, but one is reporting failure to the other and gets told to “break their seal” and return through the Warp, to which the one replies that’s impossible, he’ll never survive. And he doesn’t. You see him get destroyed as from a big shotgun blast in the Warp (there are all kinds of predators in the Warp, and he got got). The tentacles then release the marines back into real space. Where they landed could be anywhere, but it also matches up to the description of the Marianas Trench right on good old Earth in the 40K lore. In the 41st millennium Earth is an oceanless hellscape, and the Marianas Trench is said to be covered in huge statues of the kings of a long-forgotten civilization that once made its home there in the trench walls.
You did not post the second video when your wife leans about the sister of battle, imperial knights, chaos, and aliens. I wanted to see your wife's reaction to the sister of Battle. They are my army.
Might come as a shock to some but yes at the end, the space marine is standing in the warp pretty much. Unlikely to come out of there sane and alive either.
Those giant skeletons sitting on the chairs are twisted representations of the Emperor on his throne the way the chaos sees him/wants their enemies to see him. If i'm not mistaken the rest of the skeletons are just there for psychological torment, a play on the countless dead and the insignificance of any single individual. Ironically this is probably the space marines worst inner deep thoughts being manifested or it could also just be one of the chaos gods messing with them directly.
