Its only the board game that treats them like they are just tall, but that is for the mechanics of the game and to make it fun. In the lore they are obscenely strong, tough etc. Like Ragnar when he became a space wolf he was given a stone and told to crush it in his bare hand, which he did. To test out his SM physiology.
@@bobbobertbobberton1073 Yeah, if the tabletop matched up with the lore, GSC would have a 2% win rate, 1/10000 players would be playing marines, There'd be thousands of guard minis etc. Gotta make concessions if you want an actually fun and balanced game. I really appreciated here they reference back to the tabletop a bit. Only one of the marines has a plasma pistol, Storm Shields being sturdy as all hell.
Yeah but they could’ve done better with how they manage the weight of the humongous axes and the swords. Yeah yeah yeah “but but but but.. Astartes strong and fast and strong and fast and strong” we get it, but there is a key difference in something being strong welding a heavy tool versus a literal feather-like weightlessness. What, does gravity not exist in 40k? So Space Marines are so strong and so fast that they can lift gravity itself even witn their pinky finger? Imagine yourself holding a pen, now wiggle it around your fingers, do you feel it move on it’s own without your own accord? Or does each and every individual movement it does, is accordance to your will? Like exactly and LITERALLY how you wanted it to move, it moved, not a single bit of exaggerated movement at all? Caused by outside factors? Like idk.. gravity? Or it’s own damn weight?
Funny I just watched this last night. I loved how they animated the Space Marines in battle, you can imagine how that would be terrifying for a normal person to witness.

And the sheer speed with which they can change direction after punching someone so hard they fly backwards 50 meters. It's not just a big heavy axe, it's a FAST big heavy axe

This is kinda weird to point out but one of my favorite things is just...watch their shoulder pads when they punch a cultist in the chest or make a quick, violent motion. These very realistic shutters, as if the shoulder pads are tightly bound, but not so inflexible that they don't have a slight give. The attention to detail is just fuckin insane in this. Who thinks to do that, just to make it look maybe even 0.1% more realistic and believable?
3:15 great detail I haven't seen anyone talk about yet. Here you see the Sergeant noticed that Titus left the coffin behind in favor of running toward gunfire recklessly in order to take down the tank. He probably didn't expect this. And when he looks at him at 3:54 it's almost like he's keeping an eye on him because of his concern that Titus' lack of fear could make him susceptible to chaos. That's why he hands him the coffin back, to restore order in their dynamic. Later in the story, Titus undoes his concern, and shows his admiration, respect, and love for the "old man" who raised him.
@@anthonyatienza3363He’s implying that charging the tank with only a chainsword and reckless abandon might be fearless, it is also very high risk and shows a disregard for himself and the safety of his brothers - almost like something a khornate beserker would do.
@@lambmage1 Exactly. And right after this clip, as they charge further into the miasma of heresy, there's that quick flash of Titus as a child from the perspective of the old man. Reinforcing the concerns at his core -- melding the image of the child with the chaos around them. The moment we just had here imbues that quick flash, which then manifests in his nightmare later.
It's the sheer efficiency of their movement that gets me. Every swing and movement so minimal to waste no energy yet deliver maximum damage. Absolute beasts!
Hell yes, this has Syama Pedersen written all over it because of that awesome efficient combat animation. If he wasn't involved in creating it, surely they took inspiration from his Astartes. While we've had some badass 40k animations lately, this one takes the cake for me.

The lore and scaling is just insane, lol. Custodes have such fast reflexes that they can move to angle their armour in such a way that bullets only hit the hardest or steepest parts thus just bouncing off (not that there are many weapons that would do any damage in the first place).
Not true, it's a different style, in "The First Heretic" they compare the Astartes as a pack of wolves when the Custodes r lonely Lion. Both can be dangerous in a different way.
@@boumendilalexandre9085 what do you mean "not true"? Be it promotional material or books, Custodes are constantly described as being so above a Space Marine as a Space Marine is above a normal human. The administration literally declares any conflict a single SQUAD of Custodes a sent to an automatic victory. That's how busted these guys are.
@@boumendilalexandre9085 also true. The banana guard is too op , that they just don't need in most situations to fight in groups, only if they against some insane shit, like ork warboss or demon prince.
The way the Astartes creator animates space marines is very lore accurate to common Space Marines Feats. Crushing peoples head with their hands. Taking out tanks by ripping hatches and dropping grenades. (Although no ripping hatches was needed in this case) And most importantly, the absolute casualness with which they do so, there is no jerkiness . There is a machines perfection and a human's grace mixed together, which is also lore accurate with Astarte's sometimes being considered by people that see them to be more biologically machine than man.
They portrayed them almost as machines/robots, with bizarrely precise and perfect coordination, as if every movement was coldly calculated. And it turned out great!
That is canonically how Astartes operate. It wasn't just the superhuman physical aspects of Space Marines that made them so dangerous, but also their ability to operate in squads
Brothers Icaron and Levantus, the two bladeguard veterans accompanying Metaurus and Titus, they deserve proper recognition. Their blademastery is undeniable, and skills in battle majestic. Undoubtedly, true angels of the imperium.
It's nice to see how veteran Space Marines can fight. Between Titus, Metaurus, and the other two Bladeguard Veterans, they probably have at least 1000 combined years of combat experience between them. These cultist scrubs are a mere warm up lol.
Прости что душню но их боевому опыту меньше 1000 лет.до 250 у Тита и Метавра и явно до 200 у остальных. Это максимум 900. Духота окончена. (Я да это не опровергает твои слова. А говорит то, что это даже для космодесантников ещё небольшой уровень крутости)
@@Ded_Komissar Incorrect Metaurus has 4 gold studs, each one 100 years of service, meaning he has served for 400 years; Titus also has 4 gold so another 400 years; the two others we don't see but for these types of missions you don't send just anyone so I'm going to lowball it and say 50 years each. Total amount for their service: 900 years minimum.
@@Ded_Komissar bro, just google Titus age, in Space Marine 1 he have minimum 200 years, in Space Marine 2 400 years. In this chapter we can see in Titus head that he have a crown (i dont Know the name) that Calgar gives him in the final of Space Marine 2. He have minimum 400 years, if you still insist just seek more information
I love how at 2:41 the main dude dodge while allowing his brother on the left to finish off the cultist he's dodging, I only realise this by going frame by frame, so easy to miss but damn it shows how well coordinated they are.
Gotta love it when animators know what a veteran super soldier with centuries of combat experience would probably be like. It's crazy to think that there are a few baseline humans out there who could keep up with beings like that.
I loved the fight choreography, the space marines just felt like walking tanks, the way bro charged through a car, not flinching when the cultist tried to run him down on a bike, the nonchalant way Titus blows up a tank and slits the guys throat with his chainsword. They really felt superhuman here.
I wonder how other chapters would fight them here. Space Wolves would probably be more savage and complain about the lack of a challenge and Iron Hands at the opposite end would be cold efficient like machines.
@@MrCemicalXTitus and his brothers here fight alot like Imperial Fists, Space Wolves, Blood Angels, and Raven guard would be the opposite, blitzing through the chokepoint.
Funny to think some enemies will think Space marine move slow until they see a juggernaut moving as fast a marathon runner chainsaw in hand flanking them
2:33 I like how the one Space Marine grabs one of the cultists by his head and instead of inexplicably throwing him across the room like you see in all sorts of games and media he actually just crushes his head killing him instantly

2:43 punching that dude in the back of the head, from the front, so hard he just disappears….followed by the *gunshot* *pause* *looks* *buddy looks* *slams heretics head INTO his helmet* Is fucking hilarious
That's a game mechanic dude. Master Chief can tank multiple fuel rod shots from multiple hunters. A fuel rod cannon melts anything else. Honestly the durability of the Master Chief is inconsistent. Sometimes he's Iron Man sometimes he's covered in tin foil.
@@johncarl5505 No even in the novels Spartan 2's (the best Spartans, fuck the gen 4's...) are rather easy to kill all things considered even for rebels. Also their armor is doing most of the heavy lifting for them in terms of strength and reflexes. Really you have Spartan 2's in 40k as there is a regiment of advanced Imperial Guard with armor like the Spartans and some augments like them but even they pale next to a Space Marine. Of course it is rather unfair to compare Spartans and Astartes as they were not designed for the same purpose.
@@taliawtf6944Insurrectionists weren't even close to killing any Spartan 2. Spartan 2s are excellent in a lot of things and while they may not have the ability to fight a Space Marine hand to hand (which is debatable as even the Space Marine in the video dodged a small axe, if he's afraid of what a guy with an axe can do, imagine a faster guy with an energy blade) they still have pretty powerful ranged weaponry. Space Marine lives have been threatened by Cultists with conventional ranged weaponry before. A lot of times actually. A modern autocannon can easily kill a Space Marine and Spartan 2s have a lot of those.
Holy moly, this is perfection! What I love about this and what Astartes got so right is the *weight* of Space Marines. They are constantly described as walking tanks but in most games they feel like a guy wearing regular metal armour. Here you can feel how heavy these dudes are and how much impact each of their swings has. Like running through the vehicle, punching the guy so hard he flies off screen, ramming the very blunt round pommel if the axe handle through the Cultist and so on. Their armour is a fortress and I love it!
I actually have something of a theory that each of these episodes was a test to see how well they would be received and if it would warrant further funding and expansion into their own show.
I love this whole thing being a pure testament to whom Titus is.. - He's only on this mission, as a fearless Astartes, to carry a legit spycher shield, meant to protect his brothers from chaos forces while they go deep into it (A mission they all know they probably won't come back from given the nature and solution..). They protect him. He protects them in return by keeping the coffin safe and near. They complete the mission, or die trying. - Being pinned down by heavy fire, he leaves the coffin behind to protect his brothers, smashing through oncoming traffic (lol) to get to the main threat, exposed to chaos while out of range from his charge. - Casually and effectively takes out a tank crew without looking back a single time for confirmation (He didn't reach for a nade, which means he already had it in his hands when he was running...) - Casually takes back his charge and reforms in line after taking advantage of the free hands to fully reload. Pure discipline. It was smart to smash through the vehicle for two reasons.. Cultists won't shoot at their own guys, so line of sight until smash. And then of course, smash killing blow without the use of ammunition is just saving the fun stuff for later. That run required a head start. A head start means that he seen the danger the same as the captain and they both acted at the same time! Titus really is that guy.
I love that how without words you can still hear the conversation that was had when Titus took back the chain. Captain: You dropped this. Titus: I knew it would be safe with you.
No dialogue, no grunts, no unnecessary face close-ups or face reveals, no exaggerated movements. Just raw, controlled, violence. Enough to make you want to imagine that you’re the character.
What I really love about this is that it conveys the Ultramarine’s specific style of fighting. Very focused on getting the job done with minimal flair. Now if they did a series on the White Scars or Blood Angels we could that graceful artistry or raw rage the two chapters are known for. There’s just so much that can be done.
there was an example from HH book where sons of horus lead by aximand were encaging some planetary defense forces who allied with the Imperium. four of them were at spearhead and they all had different tactic of handling it, from trying to get the enemy to actually encage them in combat to just sweeping them down like cutting grass. the defenders personal shield generators protected them from bolts but not power swords, and they ended up knee deep in blood.
Time does not flow linearly when the warp abounds. Time will reverse, stop, bounce forward, and in pockets of space, so the paper unburning is the chaos of the warp manifesting.
The way they fight is very lore accurate. Précise, fluid, no waste of mouvement, no waste of energy against a lesser foe, they don t even sweat cutting through mon of human as if it was butter. True transhuman dread
Funny, that's the one part I find odd in this masterpiece. Would an Astartes drop a bolter magazine to the ground like this ? I'd imagine they would keep and reload them later.
@Demonstormlord Or when it comes to difficulty scaling they could just make the scraps more numerous while make the enemies you can justify as lore-accurate threatening be even more so.
I saw this last night the whole Secret Level series was awesome especially the Unreal tournament one. Looking forward to your breakdown of the full video!
I think the most beautiful thing about this scene is the absolute cultural dissonance which makes the setting so thrilling, there is zero attempts at trying to bring any sort of contemporary western morals within the two factions in the scene, the cultists are evidently chaotic to the point of being animalesque, the word degenerate impossible to avoid, a tide of maddened flesh more akin to feral apes than anything else, while the marines represented absolute monolithic order to the point of inhuman mechanization, the cultists fought with desperate savagery, attempting to overwhelm the astartes with numbers and frenzied cunning, but to no avail, the marines ruined them with contemptuous ease, muscle reflex born from decades of training and superior weaponry swathing aside the foe with a complete economy of brutality.
The way their bodies move (start/stop at supernatural speeds) reminds me of Man of Steel, Snyder's Superman movie, one of the best at depicting superhuman strength and speed without resorting to slow-motion.
2:40 what always freaks me out about Astartes is that they're built like tanks right? But suddenly this hyper-religious thousand pound murder machine fucking DODGES an attack like he isn't wearing a Nissan Sentra's worth of ceramite.
Listen, if 4 homeless convicts of questionable sanity can wade through cultists, 4 Astartes should be GODDAMNED IMPRESSIVE. And they were. Fantastic animation.
GW is responsible for this animation, dude. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like them, but it’s important you understand that this is an official animation.
@REEPER38 thank Syama Pedersen. He made the legendary Astartes animation you can find on RUclips and GW hired him on. His stylistic fingerprints are on everything Space Marine afterwards, from facial design to that brutally effective movement and fighting style. They could pay him a million a year USD and it'd still be a deal for what they're getting back out of it.
@@ximthedespot4673 Depends really. I think they'd laugh about it, as they're essentially are an inferior version of Astartes. On the other hand, the one faction the Spartans should be REALLY worried about is the Mechanicus: they'd hunt them to extinction just to see how well their biology works. Either them or the Inquisition.
I thought an Astartes would be slower than a Spartan. My mistake, they're as faster or faster and built like a tank. Even Atroix feels weaker compared to an Astartes, plus his head is always exposed
What an epic video! I love the feel we get of the strength and speed of the marines. Their unnatural speed, while being so large, is one of main causes of the 'transhuman dread' that normal humans feel when seeing them fight. A great watch
Imagine your in a tank in our universe today and you see a space marine charging head on and just obliterated your tank with just a tacke like an armor piercing round.
I love how efficient all of their moves are. You can see how there is reason for every move and punch. Like how supersoldier would really fight not just bashing around. Its great.
I like how they made the space marines seem superhuman, rather than just tall

Прости что душню но их боевому опыту меньше 1000 лет.до 250 у Тита и Метавра и явно до 200 у остальных. Это максимум 900.
Духота окончена. (Я да это не опровергает твои слова. А говорит то, что это даже для космодесантников ещё небольшой уровень крутости)
@@Ded_Komissar fair enough
@@Ded_Komissar Incorrect Metaurus has 4 gold studs, each one 100 years of service, meaning he has served for 400 years; Titus also has 4 gold so another 400 years; the two others we don't see but for these types of missions you don't send just anyone so I'm going to lowball it and say 50 years each.
Total amount for their service: 900 years minimum.
@KILLEROFGOD вот только у ультрамаринов золотой штифт это 50 лет выслуги
@@Ded_Komissar bro, just google Titus age, in Space Marine 1 he have minimum 200 years, in Space Marine 2 400 years. In this chapter we can see in Titus head that he have a crown (i dont Know the name) that Calgar gives him in the final of Space Marine 2. He have minimum 400 years, if you still insist just seek more information
I love how at 2:41 the main dude dodge while allowing his brother on the left to finish off the cultist he's dodging, I only realise this by going frame by frame, so easy to miss but damn it shows how well coordinated they are.
Gotta love it when animators know what a veteran super soldier with centuries of combat experience would probably be like. It's crazy to think that there are a few baseline humans out there who could keep up with beings like that.
Why did he try to dodge a small axe?
@@Leprechaunlockwhich baseline humans could keep up?
@@MrCDERSly Marbo
No he hit him with the hilt in the back of his head. Watch the blood once he dodges.
I loved the fight choreography, the space marines just felt like walking tanks, the way bro charged through a car, not flinching when the cultist tried to run him down on a bike, the nonchalant way Titus blows up a tank and slits the guys throat with his chainsword. They really felt superhuman here.
This feels like can easily be reskined to be a bunch of thunder warriors fighting techo-barbariana during the unification war"
Thunder Warriors would not stand there and take it. They'd run towards the fighting. Barely more controlled than Khorne berzerkers
I wonder how other chapters would fight them here. Space Wolves would probably be more savage and complain about the lack of a challenge and Iron Hands at the opposite end would be cold efficient like machines.
@@jesseteixeira6284 the crazy part is thunder warrior run by their own strength, the mark I armor only power the upper body
@@MrCemicalXTitus and his brothers here fight alot like Imperial Fists, Space Wolves, Blood Angels, and Raven guard would be the opposite, blitzing through the chokepoint.
iirc the other warlords on Terra have warriors that can rival even of the Thunder Warriors, correct me if I'm wrong :3
2:21 the music, the movements! Absolutely beautiful
3:53
“I’m not dragging this sh@t around, boah.”
What is he dragging anyway? It looks like a coffin - but landing in a drop pod would crumple an ordinary human body.
It’s a stasis coffin. It’s shown later in the episode but it holds a psyker they use to defend themselves from the effects of chaos.
@@1stcaptainraldoron538 Probably why bro looks at Titus like, "Heretic...?" And Titus is like, "Um....no?"
@@marcusc9931 Which is precisely why the psyker was in the coffin in the first place.
@@1stcaptainraldoron538 Though i though it was Astropath due he is covering his eyes with metal fold
Its crazy to see how someone so big and HEAVY can jump so high without a jetpack.
Yeah, engineered super-human. Awesome!
Funny to think some enemies will think Space marine move slow until they see a juggernaut moving as fast a marathon runner chainsaw in hand flanking them
Titus rockin that new headgear lookn good. He looks like papa smurk himself
2:33 I like how the one Space Marine grabs one of the cultists by his head and instead of inexplicably throwing him across the room like you see in all sorts of games and media he actually just crushes his head killing him instantly
Honestly, if a Space Marine threw you by the head it would probably rip right off the rest of your body anyway.
Cliche if we talking about 1 vs 1 fight but in group battle throwing enemies to their teammates more efficient.
He did throw the cultist at 2:42
That was the most badass thing I've ever seen.
Yeah, but far from as good as this one. This one is dope af

2:44 the force behind that punch
I could just imagine the quick fade out scream of that poor blighter. We didn’t hear it but I atleast certainly felt it
Bro got hydraulic pressed💀
Honestly, they probably didn't have time to scream. That punch likely liquefied the top half of their body lol
2:48 I love how when he headshots the Space Marine, his buddy in the background is also like, "Ooh shit, he's fucked..."
And the guy in the tank who shot Titus looking at his gun like ‘Why the *fuck* aren’t you working?!’
They drop straight into the eye of an hurricane 😂 they really don't give a fuck
It's the safest place to do an orbital drop, little to no wind for knocking your pod around. The eyewall on the other hand...
The eye of a hurricane is the least dangerous part of a hurricane, so it makes sense.
Just goes to show how absolute beyond human the astartes are. Only a space marine can take a Space-Ford F150 to the face and not slow down at all.
He goes full "MISS ME WITH THAT SHIT!".
Even the other cultist looked at the guy who shot the pistol with awe.
This episode is a pinnacle of “show don’t tell” 😭
Absolutely sick fight. I loved how swiftly and easily they moved, finally an animation that make a super soldier walking tank justice!
Really goes to show how badass Ciaphus Cain is for going toe to toe with a Khorne Berserker.
Well to be fair, Jurgen's melta is a great equalizer.
@@1stcaptainraldoron538 no, he had to fence with a berserker untill melta came.
While he couldn't start offense he wasn't failing defense either against whole ass berserker in melee.
Although one should never underestimate Ciaphas Cain, that man is the patron saint of luck over all.
Not gonna lie as someone who loves ciaphus cain ...that book was just bs 😂 like no normal human shouldn't last 5 minutes against a KHORN BERSERKER its literally the faction that favours melee combat and their god isnt as sadistic and twisted like the rest of the pantheon ..but anyways before i start ranting all am gonna say is plot armour
@@battlebrotherwh40k34 I mean he didn't overpower him or anything. It is stated a lot that Caiphas Cain one of best fencers out there.

A Space Marine gets hit by a car... the car dies
A Spartan 2 gets hit by a little quad bike... the Spartan 2 dies
The Spartans from Halo are little choir boys compared to a Warhammer Astartes.
That's a game mechanic dude. Master Chief can tank multiple fuel rod shots from multiple hunters. A fuel rod cannon melts anything else. Honestly the durability of the Master Chief is inconsistent. Sometimes he's Iron Man sometimes he's covered in tin foil.
I don't wanna yapping here but that just for a gameplay purpose and uhh Halo take place in the 2nd millennium meanwhile 40k is...well, 40k millennium.
@@johncarl5505 No even in the novels Spartan 2's (the best Spartans, fuck the gen 4's...) are rather easy to kill all things considered even for rebels. Also their armor is doing most of the heavy lifting for them in terms of strength and reflexes. Really you have Spartan 2's in 40k as there is a regiment of advanced Imperial Guard with armor like the Spartans and some augments like them but even they pale next to a Space Marine. Of course it is rather unfair to compare Spartans and Astartes as they were not designed for the same purpose.
@@taliawtf6944Insurrectionists weren't even close to killing any Spartan 2. Spartan 2s are excellent in a lot of things and while they may not have the ability to fight a Space Marine hand to hand (which is debatable as even the Space Marine in the video dodged a small axe, if he's afraid of what a guy with an axe can do, imagine a faster guy with an energy blade) they still have pretty powerful ranged weaponry. Space Marine lives have been threatened by Cultists with conventional ranged weaponry before. A lot of times actually. A modern autocannon can easily kill a Space Marine and Spartan 2s have a lot of those.
I love how short the punches are, but it sends enemies flying
Holy moly, this is perfection!
What I love about this and what Astartes got so right is the *weight* of Space Marines. They are constantly described as walking tanks but in most games they feel like a guy wearing regular metal armour. Here you can feel how heavy these dudes are and how much impact each of their swings has. Like running through the vehicle, punching the guy so hard he flies off screen, ramming the very blunt round pommel if the axe handle through the Cultist and so on. Their armour is a fortress and I love it!
The lesson here: Never engage a space marine in melee
Exceptions:
-Eversor assasins
-Harlequins
-Very though orks
-Greater daemons
-Tyranids
We need more warhammer 40k content like this!
I actually have something of a theory that each of these episodes was a test to see how well they would be received and if it would warrant further funding and expansion into their own show.
I think that bridge/junk at 1:49 is a knight body. Maybe a titan piece, but I think it’s too small for that.
Perhaps a Armiger or a piece of junk
I was thinking a dreadnought
Basically this is what would happen if a squadron of Space Marines were in Darktide.
I love this whole thing being a pure testament to whom Titus is..
- He's only on this mission, as a fearless Astartes, to carry a legit spycher shield, meant to protect his brothers from chaos forces while they go deep into it (A mission they all know they probably won't come back from given the nature and solution..). They protect him. He protects them in return by keeping the coffin safe and near. They complete the mission, or die trying.
- Being pinned down by heavy fire, he leaves the coffin behind to protect his brothers, smashing through oncoming traffic (lol) to get to the main threat, exposed to chaos while out of range from his charge.
- Casually and effectively takes out a tank crew without looking back a single time for confirmation (He didn't reach for a nade, which means he already had it in his hands when he was running...)
- Casually takes back his charge and reforms in line after taking advantage of the free hands to fully reload. Pure discipline.
It was smart to smash through the vehicle for two reasons.. Cultists won't shoot at their own guys, so line of sight until smash. And then of course, smash killing blow without the use of ammunition is just saving the fun stuff for later. That run required a head start. A head start means that he seen the danger the same as the captain and they both acted at the same time! Titus really is that guy.
I love that how without words you can still hear the conversation that was had when Titus took back the chain.
Captain: You dropped this.
Titus: I knew it would be safe with you.
There are not enough words to describe how perfect this is
I want a whole series by this dude, same with the armored core one
Now imagine what it would’ve been like if they were Carcharadons
Oh, god the nightmare fuel...
With the 40k version of the Jaws theme while doing hit and run attacks in the dark...
Less power weapons, more chain axes, but overall not that much different.
Then Tyberos charges in like a damn train, running through several vehicles and ripping out a gun emplacement
Courage and Honor.
when titus on a car accident , the car was the victim
All I can say is HOLY SHIT!
No dialogue, no grunts, no unnecessary face close-ups or face reveals, no exaggerated movements. Just raw, controlled, violence. Enough to make you want to imagine that you’re the character.
well its basically what the astartes guy did for his video. GW def learned that from him.
What I really love about this is that it conveys the Ultramarine’s specific style of fighting. Very focused on getting the job done with minimal flair. Now if they did a series on the White Scars or Blood Angels we could that graceful artistry or raw rage the two chapters are known for. There’s just so much that can be done.
I can even imagine what martial arts each Chapter or Guard Regiment fight...
there was an example from HH book where sons of horus lead by aximand were encaging some planetary defense forces who allied with the Imperium. four of them were at spearhead and they all had different tactic of handling it, from trying to get the enemy to actually encage them in combat to just sweeping them down like cutting grass.
the defenders personal shield generators protected them from bolts but not power swords, and they ended up knee deep in blood.
fyi that's a titan lighting claw at 1:45 and a knight they are walking under at 1:50 the cultists are not the problem
I think foes that fell the titan and knight are pretty long gone by now
This is the Imperium we're talking about. This planet probably fell to Chaos 100 years ago and they're only just now showing up to investigate.
The hell sort of knight is that? The thing is about the size of a titan.
It's just a warlord Titan, not a knight
@@LN997-i8xif anything, like "normal" corporate work these days, management only sent people to investigate AFTER the complains suddenly stopped
Brilliant, I could watch this all day!
Every certain moment in this animation is made with patience and logic, every strike, every motion
3:18 ill be damned
The arms and armor of a tank. The precision of a sniper. The speed and discipline of a samurai warrior.
What's the story with the paper unburning itself at 0:45?
Just typical tzeench fuckery, you can see the symbol of tzeench on the unburnt paper before it blows away
I'd pin it on the warp.
Time does not flow linearly when the warp abounds. Time will reverse, stop, bounce forward, and in pockets of space, so the paper unburning is the chaos of the warp manifesting.
It’s magic.
Warp shenanigans, when in doubt it’s just chaos trying to troll you.
The way they fight is very lore accurate. Précise, fluid, no waste of mouvement, no waste of energy against a lesser foe, they don t even sweat cutting through mon of human as if it was butter. True transhuman dread
Now, add this with at least 200 years of battlefield experience.
For them, such way of fighting is close to breathing...
This was the most badass shit I’ve seen since the Vader messed up those dudes in the hallway.

The bolter reload animation was ORGASMIC.
And it fits the machine like effectiveness of an Astartes so well.
Funny, that's the one part I find odd in this masterpiece. Would an Astartes drop a bolter magazine to the ground like this ? I'd imagine they would keep and reload them later.
@@hotrodoftheskies I reckon it's a nod to John Wick's magazine flick.....
@@hotrodoftheskiesUnless the machine spirit is enjoying the fight, then they get infinite ammo.

@@tengu56John Wick didnt invent that. It's way older than John Wick. Think Magpul Dynamics 2007
Meanwhile in Chaos Gate Daemonhunters a few pods of regular cultists vs the Gray Knights requires careful consideration to avoid annihilation.
Have to make the game interesting. If you can faceroll enemies, the game becomes boring fast.
@Demonstormlord Or when it comes to difficulty scaling they could just make the scraps more numerous while make the enemies you can justify as lore-accurate threatening be even more so.
@@Demonstormlord You absolutely can and will faceroll 'em in CG:DH. If you're being smart about your moves, that is.

Flawlessly perfect cinematics.
Thank you.
At the end he like you forgot this 😂
I saw this last night the whole Secret Level series was awesome especially the Unreal tournament one. Looking forward to your breakdown of the full video!
They have an axe in Space marine 2 intro, then they have it in the show. Just give the players the Axe already!
Love the "You wot, mate?" at 2:48 before the headbutt.
I think the most beautiful thing about this scene is the absolute cultural dissonance which makes the setting so thrilling, there is zero attempts at trying to bring any sort of contemporary western morals within the two factions in the scene, the cultists are evidently chaotic to the point of being animalesque, the word degenerate impossible to avoid, a tide of maddened flesh more akin to feral apes than anything else, while the marines represented absolute monolithic order to the point of inhuman mechanization, the cultists fought with desperate savagery, attempting to overwhelm the astartes with numbers and frenzied cunning, but to no avail, the marines ruined them with contemptuous ease, muscle reflex born from decades of training and superior weaponry swathing aside the foe with a complete economy of brutality.
The way their bodies move (start/stop at supernatural speeds) reminds me of Man of Steel, Snyder's Superman movie, one of the best at depicting superhuman strength and speed without resorting to slow-motion.
Finally a cinematic where there is none of that "Oh man, I am a space marine but I got shot once so I died instantly" garbage.
real
"Hey guys, those are space marines. We would all die. Lets go the other way, instead"

Listen, if 4 homeless convicts of questionable sanity can wade through cultists, 4 Astartes should be GODDAMNED IMPRESSIVE.
And they were.
Fantastic animation.
What in all that is holy did I just watch. That was utterly breath taking. Hands off GW. we know what your like.

GW is responsible for this animation, dude. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like them, but it’s important you understand that this is an official animation.
@@tfan2222 cool. Did a good job
@REEPER38 thank Syama Pedersen. He made the legendary Astartes animation you can find on RUclips and GW hired him on. His stylistic fingerprints are on everything Space Marine afterwards, from facial design to that brutally effective movement and fighting style. They could pay him a million a year USD and it'd still be a deal for what they're getting back out of it.
Pure joy and it shows how powerful they truly are
One of the best 40k melee scenes👍

And people think a Spartan could take on an Astartes
Master chief can, because that man has canon plot armor
But the rest of the spartan would get curbstomp
I'm pretty sure if Astartes knew the context behind the Spartan II program, they'd actually lend a hand. All to protect humanity.
@@ximthedespot4673 Depends really. I think they'd laugh about it, as they're essentially are an inferior version of Astartes. On the other hand, the one faction the Spartans should be REALLY worried about is the Mechanicus: they'd hunt them to extinction just to see how well their biology works. Either them or the Inquisition.
Spartans only advantage is the mjolnir's energy shield technology.
I thought an Astartes would be slower than a Spartan. My mistake, they're as faster or faster and built like a tank. Even Atroix feels weaker compared to an Astartes, plus his head is always exposed
Cultist: “DEATH TO THE CORPSE EMPEROR! DEATH TO HIS PUPPETS!”
Ultramarines: “Ugh, kids these days.”
Maybe the mightiest 4 minutes anywhere, ever. Unstoppably badass.
What an epic video! I love the feel we get of the strength and speed of the marines. Their unnatural speed, while being so large, is one of main causes of the 'transhuman dread' that normal humans feel when seeing them fight. A great watch
2:02 I'm only bothered by the fact we don't see the plasma bolt impact on anything.
Imagine your in a tank in our universe today and you see a space marine charging head on and just obliterated your tank with just a tacke like an armor piercing round.
Those culists must have been hopped up on something.
Warp dust is a hell of a drug...
Smashing the cultists head into the space marines helmet had me laughing my ass off 😂

I love how efficient all of their moves are. You can see how there is reason for every move and punch. Like how supersoldier would really fight not just bashing around. Its great.
