My favorite dread moment was when he literally tossed a statue at a hell brute and says "in the name of the emperor I cast you down" and Galadriel was like holy shit.
one of the absolute fucking coolest moments was when Imurah whispers to you basically shit talking, i was playing with some mates and they heard DIFFERENT SHIT, like for Titus it shit talks him about his failure to the company and being discarded, for Gadriel it shit talks his childhood and his inadequacies, like he'll never be good enough etc, honestly, one of the moments that stands out for me
Just kind of wish we actually deliver the killing blow instead of it being a kind of awkward cutscene of it getting occasionally shot a couple of times, reee'ing and then falling over lol
Lmao that’s a mood. I had to play through twice since the first time I was just taking it in and chatting with stream. The games too damn fun to read tbe subtitles all the time🤣 Thanks for watching!
Sorry this video was delayed so much! I underestimated how long it would be and how many drawings I had to make. Hope everyone enjoys it though! ALSO THANK YOU EVERYONE for getting the channel to 100K, the reception to my channel has been unbelievable.
The dreadnought yeeting a broken statue at the helldrake was so freaking cool. "Oh hey a hell drake, bet it's a boss" "I CAST YOU DOWN RAAAHHHH!!!" "....well guess i was wrong. Hot damn Dreadbro"
Think about how much ordinance it would have taken to shoot that thing down, but this one very angry sentient warmachine slings a statue at it before it knew what it was in for. A part of me is still flexed about it ❤
The Chapter Standard scene for me has, pun intended, raised the standard for what I consider "faithful adaptations". So much of 40K can be distilled down to that one scene. Hopeless, unwinnable situation, and yet the brothers fight on. It's the perfect Venn diagram of silly bullshit and absolute badassery that meets in the middle to make 40K what it is. The takeaway from 40K for me has always been that one, it's ridiculous and fun because it's a game first, and two, the overwhelming might of the human spirit cannot be destroyed. We can conquer anything if we just "Hold this ground in the name of the Primarch!"
There is literally nothing more stirring than the last stand, especially around the Standard. I need to replay the game because the first time i was just too worried covering the battle brother dragging the other back to the group
Ya it’s probably my favorite 40K game of all time. Perhaps it’s recency bias but it ticked all the boxes for me and had some of my favorite moments in gaming period.
Same bro, same. As a guardsman player it brought tears to my eyes to see them in action even if we weren't actually playing them. It was near perfection.
Gadriel: "Err, the codeksh Astartes doesh not shupport thish action" 🤓 Titus: *Oh for the Emperor's sake, here we go again...* Gadriel: "But it sounds sick as hell" 😎 Titus: *EYY, MAH MAN!*
THIS!! I was all like damn Leandros wasnt a heretic didnt get to kill him or even hear about him. Was all conflicted about that until "my lord" Chaplain showed his face. Talk about sour grapes
This is why I like human voiced videos instead of AI ones. I can feel your genuine love, hate and other emotions for the characters and plot. It feels like a friend excited to tell me about WH40K instead of repeating the story, and that is why you deserves my like and subscribe (apart from the amazing art of course)
My favorite part: "That abomination is MINE! In the name of The Emperor, I CAST YOU DOWN" The Dreadnaught as he picks up a 60 foot statue and BEAMS IT at a helldrake.
I am going to probably get some hatred, but using Princess Aurora in this put a smile on my face. I loved her movie growing up she gets overlooked, and people forget what her name is. Thank you for giving her some attention.
@KrakDuk yeah sadly that is what everyone knows her as. Or think she is boring because she isn't in the film that much. Sleeping Beauty is a high-context film that requires the cultural background to appreciate how deep it is. Think of it like someone having no idea about the depth of Warhammer and have them try to appreciate what Titus went through being a Black Shield at the start of Space Marine 2 and how big it was for him to become an Ultramarine again. You may enjoy the game, but you wouldn't understand how big the end was with Marneus Calgar welcoming Titus back and the Lorals of Victory on Titus's helm.
@@A_Professional422 Prepare for a long, but honest, answer. My concern wasn't liking the movie, but rather that Aurora has a rather substantial hatedom (if that is a word) even going back to the 1959 release of her movie. A combination of the fact she is a very traditional female character that was released in the rising feminist movement, the fact she is the titular character with only about 12 minutes in the whole 70 minutes of the film, and has little character reveal compared to previous princess characters such as the previous Snow White and Cinderella and especially compared to later ones like Ariel and Belle. This is why she is notably pushed to back of many properties and has substantially less material associated with her. As such, I was expecting the fact I thanked KrakDuk for including her in a positive light to have someone hate her.
When Pimp Daddy Calgar rolled in hos Thunderhawk I could only shout "Papa Smurf! He's here in a game, finally!" I kinda hope the Dreadnought was the badass veteran sergeant because it just feels right, especially when he almost casually struck a helldrake down. When the Chaplain was revealed to be an older less annoying Lameandros I was wondering how you would react Duk, you always call it as it is.
Unfortunately, the dreadnought we see in the campaign is not the vet sergeant, but it's implied he was put in a different one in some npc dialogue in the battle barge
@@blimp9741it wasnt implied. Yall are reaching with this copium. Our vaunted brother is dead, no machine spirit can rouse a destroyed brain, nevermind he had a funeral and all the battle brothers talked about him as if he was dead
As a Tyranids player I was legitimately terrified of them. The Lictor jumpscare and the sheer numbers of body they throw at you in some setpieces made me feel anxious and overwhelmed. Now I understand what my opponent faces and I love my hive fleet even more
It makes perfect sense and is very true to reality. That is why this game's story resonated with me despite some ppl thinking it is shallow... (which makes no sense to me but hey gaming journalists am i right...) As someone who grew up in an actual real life culty environment... It is 100% accurate. (The cube cult i am from north Africa... It is also the in middle east and some of asia... I have to stay vague or YT censors it but you guys can figure it out.) Those ppl who adhere to super religious rules literally alienate every normal free thinking individual around them and end up in positions like that. They find great "success" as speakers with lost and lonely loser type individuals like them flocking to them due to validation. They become part of the machine and system that existed to create them in the first place. The game is amazing! The gameplay excellent and even the story was a very relevant subject matter to me. Some of the sermons i heard the chaplain make were almost remixed words of what i heard said by "recruiters" getting lost teens into fighting for IS... Notice how the older space marines like Titus and even Calgar are almost powerless to stop it too despite being intelligent enough to see the damage it does. If they remove the chaplain the inquisition and chaos... the real ennemy wins so you gotta do what you gotta do... Amazing game that resonates with me at a personal level.
In Leandros' defense, Titus did admit he didn't do a good job in helping with his concerns and it wasn't explain to the characters in the game why Titus has high resistance to the warp without special equipment.
You doing a dishonor to the other 2 teams that you play through in CO-OP by not spritzing them in. They might not be as cool as Titus but they handled everything thrown at them. Pure badasses
So fun fact: if you hang around the Battle Barge in the mission after the veteran sergeant is killed, you can over hear dialogue that they’re actually planning on putting him into a dreadnaught and that the sarcophagus is en route. And while I originally theorized that he ended up becoming the dreadnaught that helps us, this turns out to not be the case. The dreadnaught’s name is actually written on his chassis. And his name is Valius.
I'd need to double check but early in the campaign you can find some Techpriests working on a dreadnought that blocks off the armouring hall for tutorial reasons. I can't remember but I think Valius was the name on its chassis so maybe that was subtle foreshadowing.
I wish a channel like this existed when i just started getting into 40k. The casual way you talk about things and the little visuals make it more digestible and less daunting. Makes me think of sam-onella. Good shit bro
Man the story and the campaign were nearly perfect, epic beyond measure. There's conflict, growth and most of all, there's insanely amounts of cool action. The last 2 missions were mind blowingly perfect, I loved it
So crazy to hear you’re at 100k subs man! I always knew when I was watching your older videos that you had great potential to be a phenomenal warhammer RUclipsr! Also P.S. I love the drawings!
Even after playing through the game multiple times now I have watched this breakdown twice. It is perfect. Simple. Elegant. Funny. Down to the last detail. When we were playing through the first time, the part where you are trying to reach the relay while the other team deals with the Hive Tyrant and we barely killed the Carnifex... AND THEN TWO MORE SHOW UP. Legit just "Mr. President a second Carnifex has hit the towers." Also my buddy Bepis and you both seem to have blown up in the last few months dude, congrats! We've been having a blast making videos out of it, well he has, I just kinda am there.
The Operation “Decapitation” where you slay the Hive Tyrant, is by far, My favorite Operation. Also that Dreadnought is the best character besides the main Trio
The Banner scene was so iconic, I played as Gadriel with my two bros. Loved that you had your own POV during that scene and it showed all three of them, it was genuinely so immersive and the best moment I had with them in awhile. It really made us connect with the characters and each other, overall, Space Marine 2 has brought me and my friends closer and has made for some good gaming moments. This is what gaming should be, fun, taking your mind off things, relaxing, immersive. its literally the male fantasy and what gamers truly want. (joking of course)
It's notoriously difficult to write a compelling narrative about space marines due to their stoic nature and the fact they can be hundreds of years old. Typically, you'd want characters to be able to show emotion and character progression, which is why so many W40k novels are written from a 'regular human' perspective. This is why Space Marine 2 is secretly peak writing.
The voice actor from rouge trader said he wasn't the one who voiced the one in Spacemarine 2, so he likely wasn't. Plus, Ulfar's thing was that he was always the last survivor so I doubt he just kicked the bucket randomly.
The scene with Marneus Calgar rolling up to save the day after you recreated the Crimson Fists' Last Stand art was so good it made me geneseed in my pants. Next we need classic codex art Calgar with the HUGE SUIT to show up and box the Swarm Lord, and my life will be complete.
I’m super new to the warhammer universe. Just got the game last week and have been enjoying it a lot. Your videos have been entertaining and insightful with understanding lore, allowing me to replay missions with a more trained eye to catch things I missed the first time. Please keep on going! For the emperor….
KrakDuk I just wanted to say that between you and Space Marine 2 I am officially in love with the 40k verse and went out and bought my first combat patrol and a couple of books. Thank you for the amazing content and looking forward to many more years in the hobby!
I couldn’t agree more about the off screen tyrant death. I was sweaty already when 3 more bosses came over the ledge I was legit thinking they were gonna kill off our boys to give the tyranids a dub.
Dude its death in that mission was amazing. I was so relieved I didn’t have to fight 3 carnifexes. Literally thanked god I didn’t have to fight them. Great cinematography though waiting until all 3 are upon you before giving you that reprieve.
I got into the 40k universe because of Darktide. Space Marine two really sold me on getting more into the lore and your videos have helped me understand things along the way! Thanks for being there for us baby guardsmen :)
Ngl for me the best scene in the game is by far the dreadnaught vs helldrake scene. Im normally pretty measured when i play games barely ever reacting but when that happened my mouth literally dropped i genuinely cant remember the last time a scene had that effect on me in a videogame absolutely sick. I did also really really like the banner hold section but it didnt hit me as hard as the draudnaught hit that helldrake XD
Huge nid fan. The die off screen i was mad at. Then i played the mission where we kill it. Huge fan of that mission regardless of grind aspect. Feels good.
While I do think the game is nigh perfect, I do wish the Tyranids were a bit more important, rather than only being backround enemies against the main over-arching plot.
This video is how I find out about Ulfar's death. I hope he went out in the glory he deserves. Unlimited ale and meat tonight at the lodge boys, lets sing of our fallen brother's life
Literally at the end when Titus tells the boys he loves them I said “bitch ass Leandros could never” and 10 seconds later he was right there. We lost our shit lol
congrats on 100k man! been watching since you had like 10-15k subs and seeing your channel grow and content get better has been a treat, keep up the good work brother
Genuinely felt the sorry and characters were near perfect for the setting and the previous experiences of the characters. It felt rewarding and thematic, with good character development whilst doing a fantastic job of making it feel right for a space marine game.
Damn man, I've been watching all your videos the last couple days and while you're generally hilarious, that elevator scene you did here takes the cake. That banner scene followed by Calgars entrance truly was one of the best moments ever, even for someone like me who's new to the franchise. I can only imagine how it must have been for you guys.
Dreadnought and flag scene were peak gaming moments. Like up there with World at War’s flag scene, or Halo’s warthog escapes level of epicness. So excited to see what’s next… NECRONS?! Please be necrons.
10:04 there are other things that gives it away. Someone else pointed out how the vox caster doesn’t have the helmet which is being worn by the guy who suicide-bombed our friend. Hence when the guy tried to reach out as requested, he had no chance of getting through
I honestly was so mad, and I was like how he could become a class I absolutely respect, until a friend told me “it’s cause he was worried about purity”. I just hope he can back that mouth up in a fight.
What's also cool is that if you play as either of the other two marines, you get slightly different lines when Imurah does the warp fuckery brain whispers.
My favorite part about the Space Marine 2 (and by extension the first one)'s story is it really shows the scale of the setting. These battles would otherwise be footnotes in a codex but they're massive engagements filled with heroism
The story was definitely more than I expected. It was so full of badass moments. Like a buddy cop movie with space marines. I wasn't expecting to like the characters, but Gadriel had me reeling from loving him to hating him to loving him even more, and chairon progressively got more and more cool, especially after the Thousand Sons made their entrance. Also it helped convince my friends that Tzeentch really is the coolest chaos god.
I know a little about WH40K and I just watch a gameplay of this game (I'm bad at videogames, I'm more a TTRPG guy) but the end with the portal, the banner scene, the dreadnought and the dragon was the most badass thing I ever watch since 10 years. To the extend that I have just bought the TTRPG "Wrath and Glory" and plan to play with my friends 😂
Honestly, I never understood why this game didn't happen sooner but also... Glad it came out when it did. Every moment fighting the tyranids was ULTRA satisfying. Something about bathing in blood vs colored warp confetti was great. I've always wanted a horde mode game, especially after DoW 2 Retributions fun mode. SM2 goes into my gaming forever favorites right next to SM. So happy it finally happened.
1) the dreadnought at the end of the game is the best character of the entire game 2) the Codex astartes does not support this action... but I am here for it
I’ve always had an interest in 40k and was excited to play SM2. But when I raised the standard with my brothers to slay the horde of heretics I became a fan. One of the all time moments in a shooter campaign.
I Just love the Small detail with this newest update. At the end of the game where Titus is knocked out after destroying the artifact, the Voice that speaks to you saying "Rise, Son of Guilliman." Just sent chills. I don't care what people say, 100% that was The Lord Emporer himself. Loved that Tiny Detail.
Your right about the last last being the best cinematic moment but the best in game has to be when the dreadnought takes out the helldrake with the stone pillar toss
Thank you so much for the amazing, humorous and informative content you put out. Big fan. With space Marine 2. Adding dark Angels in the near future and me being quite the loyalist, I would really like to see you do a story if at all possible explaining the dark Angels lore. I do understand. Like you always say in a lot of your videos there, you don't know everything, but I personally would love to see a lore story in your style of my favorite chapter. Thank you again for the amazing content. I look forward to watching more of your videos
Captain Ackaran is Warhammer Groundskeeper Willie. Captain Willie: "Ultramarines and Tyrannids are natural enemies. Like Ultramarines and Orks. Like Ultramarines and Chaos Marines. Like Ultramarines and other chapters. Damn other chapters, they ruined Holy Terra!" Chaplain Skinner "You Ultramarines sure are a treasonous lot." Captain Willie: "YOU JUST MADE AN ENEMY FOR LIFE!"
I definitely was nerding out during the first mission. Falls from high place like Chief does every game 😭. And then the mini reach moment literally had me say “omg are we doing a halo reach” 🙏🏼

Wait!! You mean to tell me Tyranids aren’t heratics and graffiti artists?!?! I don’t believe you!
Favorite part of the story was the Dreadnought kool aid manning it through the wall demanding to know where the fuck Magnus was
My favorite dread moment was when he literally tossed a statue at a hell brute and says "in the name of the emperor I cast you down" and Galadriel was like holy shit.
@@armin8306 it was a helldrake but yeah
@@MsPysoul Oops I meant helldrake lol. But he did mess up a hell brute too 🤣
I LOVE its introduction where it messed up that hellbrute
Like HOLY FUCK HE PUNCHED IT SO HARD ITS ARMOR FELL OFF
@@Sigismunddagoat dreadnoughts always go so hard in the games lol.
that scene of the dreadnought instantly deleting a heldrake by throwing a big rock at it will be a permanent memory in my brain
It was a statue buddy
I CAST YOU DOWN
@@dfly27485statues are technically big rocks carved into shapes😳
@@dfly27485the statue is made of rock so it’s a rock

one of the absolute fucking coolest moments was when Imurah whispers to you basically shit talking, i was playing with some mates and they heard DIFFERENT SHIT, like for Titus it shit talks him about his failure to the company and being discarded, for Gadriel it shit talks his childhood and his inadequacies, like he'll never be good enough etc, honestly, one of the moments that stands out for me
Ya! It was also cool doing the final boss for the first time cuz my friend asked why it all went to black and I thought he went crazy😂
@@KrakDuk haha that happened to me too! honestly gonna have to replay the campaign at some stage
@@KrakDuk Dude, I got caught in the warp zone and everything turned black for me, too!
I actually loved the fact we kill the tyrant as our PVE guys, makes you still feel like a vital part of the story while also just being a fun mission
Just kind of wish we actually deliver the killing blow instead of it being a kind of awkward cutscene of it getting occasionally shot a couple of times, reee'ing and then falling over lol
Thank the Emperor for this video I was too busy chainswording heretics and xenos alike to have any clue what was actually happening in the plot
Lmao that’s a mood. I had to play through twice since the first time I was just taking it in and chatting with stream. The games too damn fun to read tbe subtitles all the time🤣
Thanks for watching!
Literally me loved the gameplay so much i skipped almost every cutscene
@@playyboii_jayyThe Codex of Astartes doesn't condone this action, But it allows it
lmaoo
I love how Gadriel says: "The codex is for bitches" and Titus is like: "Yeah, bro, it's hammer time"
Black Templar sentiments exactly
Then they Ultra'd all over those tyranids and Calgar said "Titus, you are truly the Warhammer 40,000"
@AlexSaysHi2013 and then Titus said "it's Titus time" and Titused all over the place and made one Titusillion imperium dollars

Brother, Space Marine 2 itself brought me to your channel and got me subbed to you
What was the 1st best speech given in the game???
Honestly, seeing Krak manage to get a raid shadow legend sponsorship brings a smile to my face. It is quite a youtube milestone, in a way.
lol, all real RUclipsrs need to do at least one raid sponsorship😂
The dreadnought yeeting a broken statue at the helldrake was so freaking cool.
"Oh hey a hell drake, bet it's a boss"
"I CAST YOU DOWN RAAAHHHH!!!"
"....well guess i was wrong. Hot damn Dreadbro"
At least they made the helldrake tabletop accurate.
Think about how much ordinance it would have taken to shoot that thing down, but this one very angry sentient warmachine slings a statue at it before it knew what it was in for.

22:34
Titus's facial expression when he got told that the codex 'does not support this action' was so great.
Gadriel: "Err, the codeksh Astartes doesh not shupport thish action" 🤓
Titus: *Oh for the Emperor's sake, here we go again...*
Gadriel: "But it sounds sick as hell" 😎
Titus: *EYY, MAH MAN!*
For me it was a 9/10 Because lyandros didn't turn into a heretic and was slained by titus
Patience brother.

Fingers crossed for kill Leandros expansion.
THIS!! I was all like damn Leandros wasnt a heretic didnt get to kill him or even hear about him. Was all conflicted about that until "my lord" Chaplain showed his face. Talk about sour grapes

Agreed, Ai voice and Ai generated scripts are horrible and lazy.
Krak is definitely passionate about his content and it shows.
My favorite part: "That abomination is MINE! In the name of The Emperor, I CAST YOU DOWN" The Dreadnaught as he picks up a 60 foot statue and BEAMS IT at a helldrake.
Can't wait to play as either Titus, Gabriel or Ronnie Coleman in co-op campaign
I’d love that. Or even playing as gadriel and CHAIR IRON while Titus is away would be great to see
I am going to probably get some hatred, but using Princess Aurora in this put a smile on my face. I loved her movie growing up she gets overlooked, and people forget what her name is. Thank you for giving her some attention.

“We’re the biggest threat” was the funniest thing I’ve seen all day just based on relatability

Amazing game that resonates with me at a personal level.
Calgar is really smart he got the snitch in a short leash hahaha
It's exactly the kind of job a bootlicker like him would love
Leandros being a chaplain actual fits his character since he raves so much about the codex
you know he had to suck a few to get to chaplain
Fire breathing Demon: You have no weapon big enough to harm me.
Dreadnought: Hey sh*t ass, catch !
Heldrake: does something….
Dreadnought: get lost you big bastard
*YEET*
NOW WHERES MAGNUS!!!!
Woe statuary be upon ye
In Leandros' defense, Titus did admit he didn't do a good job in helping with his concerns and it wasn't explain to the characters in the game why Titus has high resistance to the warp without special equipment.
Don't worry, Varro Tigurius will probably explain it all to us in SM3... in hopefully less than a decade
Doesn’t change the fact Leandros went against the Codex in the beginning
You forgot the part where the dreadnaught had enough of the heldrake and just tosses a statue at it
Nah he included that he just didn’t have the heldrake
Honestly.. the coolest speech imo was the Cadian officer hyping up his bros towards the end of the campaign.
You doing a dishonor to the other 2 teams that you play through in CO-OP by not spritzing them in. They might not be as cool as Titus but they handled everything thrown at them. Pure badasses
I love the childish dread asking if Magnus is here they say no so he goes “okay ☹️ guess I’m gonna have to take my rage out on the little ones”
Hehehehe. Childish but it's so funny)))
This story explanation is literally peak
it's one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, explanation
So fun fact: if you hang around the Battle Barge in the mission after the veteran sergeant is killed, you can over hear dialogue that they’re actually planning on putting him into a dreadnaught and that the sarcophagus is en route.
And while I originally theorized that he ended up becoming the dreadnaught that helps us, this turns out to not be the case.
The dreadnaught’s name is actually written on his chassis. And his name is Valius.
Missed opportunity tbh. Would have been so much cooler to have it be Chairon's veteran sergeant bro to make up for his disappointing death.
The war doggo has a name!
I'd need to double check but early in the campaign you can find some Techpriests working on a dreadnought that blocks off the armouring hall for tutorial reasons. I can't remember but I think Valius was the name on its chassis so maybe that was subtle foreshadowing.
I wish a channel like this existed when i just started getting into 40k. The casual way you talk about things and the little visuals make it more digestible and less daunting. Makes me think of sam-onella. Good shit bro
Man the story and the campaign were nearly perfect, epic beyond measure. There's conflict, growth and most of all, there's insanely amounts of cool action. The last 2 missions were mind blowingly perfect, I loved it
So crazy to hear you’re at 100k subs man! I always knew when I was watching your older videos that you had great potential to be a phenomenal warhammer RUclipsr! Also P.S. I love the drawings!
Even after playing through the game multiple times now I have watched this breakdown twice. It is perfect. Simple. Elegant. Funny. Down to the last detail.
When we were playing through the first time, the part where you are trying to reach the relay while the other team deals with the Hive Tyrant and we barely killed the Carnifex...
AND THEN TWO MORE SHOW UP.
Legit just "Mr. President a second Carnifex has hit the towers."
Also my buddy Bepis and you both seem to have blown up in the last few months dude, congrats! We've been having a blast making videos out of it, well he has, I just kinda am there.
Helldrake: I SEE NO GOD UP HERE EXCEPT ME
dreadnought: I cast statue
The Operation “Decapitation” where you slay the Hive Tyrant, is by far, My favorite Operation. Also that Dreadnought is the best character besides the main Trio
The Banner scene was so iconic, I played as Gadriel with my two bros. Loved that you had your own POV during that scene and it showed all three of them, it was genuinely so immersive and the best moment I had with them in awhile.
It really made us connect with the characters and each other, overall, Space Marine 2 has brought me and my friends closer and has made for some good gaming moments. This is what gaming should be, fun, taking your mind off things, relaxing, immersive.
its literally the male fantasy and what gamers truly want. (joking of course)
It's notoriously difficult to write a compelling narrative about space marines due to their stoic nature and the fact they can be hundreds of years old. Typically, you'd want characters to be able to show emotion and character progression, which is why so many W40k novels are written from a 'regular human' perspective.
This is why Space Marine 2 is secretly peak writing.
Wait, is Ulfar the space wolf from Rogue Trader ??? No way
Same VA.
@@Dracobyte ooooh yeah that make sense
The voice actor from rouge trader said he wasn't the one who voiced the one in Spacemarine 2, so he likely wasn't. Plus, Ulfar's thing was that he was always the last survivor so I doubt he just kicked the bucket randomly.
@@asiersantamaria1930 Plus, I'm pretty sure that Ulfar was a Primaris Marine on RT. The whole squad was I MK8 Armor
It was confirmed by owlcat that they are not the same person
The whole time playing this game i thought "why is this chaplain such a dick" little did i know it was the arch traitor himself
The scene with Marneus Calgar rolling up to save the day after you recreated the Crimson Fists' Last Stand art was so good it made me geneseed in my pants. Next we need classic codex art Calgar with the HUGE SUIT to show up and box the Swarm Lord, and my life will be complete.
I’m super new to the warhammer universe. Just got the game last week and have been enjoying it a lot. Your videos have been entertaining and insightful with understanding lore, allowing me to replay missions with a more trained eye to catch things I missed the first time.
Please keep on going! For the emperor….
Youve received your first few organs aspirant, serve the chapter faithfully and you may yet become a true battle brother
KrakDuk I just wanted to say that between you and Space Marine 2 I am officially in love with the 40k verse and went out and bought my first combat patrol and a couple of books. Thank you for the amazing content and looking forward to many more years in the hobby!
What books if don't mind me asking?
I couldn’t agree more about the off screen tyrant death. I was sweaty already when 3 more bosses came over the ledge I was legit thinking they were gonna kill off our boys to give the tyranids a dub.
Ya I thought the devs were trying to put a brutally hard boss fight so I was dreading rolling around carnifexes for half an hour lol.
@@KrakDuk as soon Titus pulled out the chain sword on his own, I was like thank god.
Dude its death in that mission was amazing. I was so relieved I didn’t have to fight 3 carnifexes. Literally thanked god I didn’t have to fight them. Great cinematography though waiting until all 3 are upon you before giving you that reprieve.
@@leviburton2467 do you mean thanked the emperor? 😁😂
You know what i love of this game? the fact that the operation missions are not random and are like a sub plot to the main story
18:24 WAIT A THOUSAND SONS. THATS LIKE THEIR NAME! WOOOOOOOAH
Nah, Just genesteeler propaganda
@@BLOODKINGbronuh uh. It must have been arranged by the chaos gods themselves
I got into the 40k universe because of Darktide. Space Marine two really sold me on getting more into the lore and your videos have helped me understand things along the way! Thanks for being there for us baby guardsmen :)
Gadriel like "you had it set to M for Mini when it should be set to W for Wumbo."
CONGRATS on 100k subs. happened lightning fast, which is expected. Your content is amazing, please never change.
def one of the best scenes is when they take a jab at leandros when Gadriel says "the codex astartes deos not support this action but i do"
Ngl for me the best scene in the game is by far the dreadnaught vs helldrake scene. Im normally pretty measured when i play games barely ever reacting but when that happened my mouth literally dropped i genuinely cant remember the last time a scene had that effect on me in a videogame absolutely sick.
I did also really really like the banner hold section but it didnt hit me as hard as the draudnaught hit that helldrake XD
I’m hopeful they do some more Deathwatch stuff in future updates
Huge nid fan. The die off screen i was mad at. Then i played the mission where we kill it. Huge fan of that mission regardless of grind aspect. Feels good.
2:55 i thought the exact same bro. That one guy died just like Emile getting stabbed in the back by an alien.
While I do think the game is nigh perfect, I do wish the Tyranids were a bit more important, rather than only being backround enemies against the main over-arching plot.
Hello, the Orks in the first game? Its hard to have Tyrannids or Orks be the big bad... Cause they just want to kill
This video is how I find out about Ulfar's death. I hope he went out in the glory he deserves. Unlimited ale and meat tonight at the lodge boys, lets sing of our fallen brother's life
It was confirmed by owlcat that they aren't the same Ulfar
As a Deathwatch player disheartened by the GW update, I loved the first mission so much, even if it was only a prologue/training
Considering Titus is now a canon character, I think you might see some prequels about his time in the Deathwatch.
Literally at the end when Titus tells the boys he loves them I said “bitch ass Leandros could never” and 10 seconds later he was right there. We lost our shit lol
congrats on 100k man! been watching since you had like 10-15k subs and seeing your channel grow and content get better has been a treat, keep up the good work brother
Genuinely felt the sorry and characters were near perfect for the setting and the previous experiences of the characters. It felt rewarding and thematic, with good character development whilst doing a fantastic job of making it feel right for a space marine game.
Damn man, I've been watching all your videos the last couple days and while you're generally hilarious, that elevator scene you did here takes the cake.
That banner scene followed by Calgars entrance truly was one of the best moments ever, even for someone like me who's new to the franchise. I can only imagine how it must have been for you guys.
Epic. I cant imagine what it would be like to be someone who has been in the hobby since its inception
Going and dropping a freaking million ton statue on a hive tyrant is definitely another peak ultramarinewildlife moment!!!
Dreadnought and flag scene were peak gaming moments. Like up there with World at War’s flag scene, or Halo’s warthog escapes level of epicness. So excited to see what’s next… NECRONS?! Please be necrons.
The coop in this game gave me a great experience I had not felt since the Halo / Gears of War days on Xbox360.
10:04 there are other things that gives it away. Someone else pointed out how the vox caster doesn’t have the helmet which is being worn by the guy who suicide-bombed our friend. Hence when the guy tried to reach out as requested, he had no chance of getting through
Lmao 24:10 he sucks but he was clean tho i cant hate😂😂
I honestly was so mad, and I was like how he could become a class I absolutely respect, until a friend told me “it’s cause he was worried about purity”. I just hope he can back that mouth up in a fight.
What's also cool is that if you play as either of the other two marines, you get slightly different lines when Imurah does the warp fuckery brain whispers.
Would love a vid on Necrons!
"Ere we go!
My favorite part about the Space Marine 2 (and by extension the first one)'s story is it really shows the scale of the setting. These battles would otherwise be footnotes in a codex but they're massive engagements filled with heroism
i love the drawings of this video really encapsulated the energy and weight of old mini figures, he really gets it
Honestly one of the best channel on RUclips, keep working at it I'll share your vids to my friends and try to convince them to get into war hammer.
Titus is chaos confirmed with his 3 legs 16:01
The story was definitely more than I expected. It was so full of badass moments. Like a buddy cop movie with space marines. I wasn't expecting to like the characters, but Gadriel had me reeling from loving him to hating him to loving him even more, and chairon progressively got more and more cool, especially after the Thousand Sons made their entrance. Also it helped convince my friends that Tzeentch really is the coolest chaos god.
23:08 i'd honestly love to see that clip, that seems epic
I know a little about WH40K and I just watch a gameplay of this game (I'm bad at videogames, I'm more a TTRPG guy) but the end with the portal, the banner scene, the dreadnought and the dragon was the most badass thing I ever watch since 10 years. To the extend that I have just bought the TTRPG "Wrath and Glory" and plan to play with my friends 😂
Bro warhammer lore and fun drawings im invested since the first space marine recap luv ur vids👍🏻
Absolutely peak. Fantastic channel, my guy - quickly becoming my favorite WH40K channel on the platform, and I love a lot of them.
Honestly, I never understood why this game didn't happen sooner but also... Glad it came out when it did. Every moment fighting the tyranids was ULTRA satisfying. Something about bathing in blood vs colored warp confetti was great. I've always wanted a horde mode game, especially after DoW 2 Retributions fun mode.
SM2 goes into my gaming forever favorites right next to SM. So happy it finally happened.
1) the dreadnought at the end of the game is the best character of the entire game
2) the Codex astartes does not support this action... but I am here for it
I’ve always had an interest in 40k and was excited to play SM2. But when I raised the standard with my brothers to slay the horde of heretics I became a fan. One of the all time moments in a shooter campaign.
If you have it recorded, PLEASE post the end scene with linkin park. Absolute peak.
I would but I don’t want to get copyright struck lol. It’s on my discord tho in the SM2 spoilers channel
Absolutely loved this game. Great sequel to a hidden gem from the 360 days!
21:10 That time when he said " it's not only Warhammer it's Warhammer 40K" bast game ever 🔥
I Just love the Small detail with this newest update. At the end of the game where Titus is knocked out after destroying the artifact, the Voice that speaks to you saying "Rise, Son of Guilliman." Just sent chills. I don't care what people say, 100% that was The Lord Emporer himself. Loved that Tiny Detail.
Really diggin the "kill the alien" on the deathwatch pauldron. The details in your drawings are so fun!
Your right about the last last being the best cinematic moment but the best in game has to be when the dreadnought takes out the helldrake with the stone pillar toss
Thank you so much for the amazing, humorous and informative content you put out. Big fan. With space Marine 2. Adding dark Angels in the near future and me being quite the loyalist, I would really like to see you do a story if at all possible explaining the dark Angels lore. I do understand. Like you always say in a lot of your videos there, you don't know everything, but I personally would love to see a lore story in your style of my favorite chapter. Thank you again for the amazing content. I look forward to watching more of your videos
The videos you make bro, they are really humorous.😂😂😂
That Chaplain drawing was sick and cute at the same time.
Captain Ackaran is Warhammer Groundskeeper Willie.
Captain Willie: "Ultramarines and Tyrannids are natural enemies.
Like Ultramarines and Orks.
Like Ultramarines and Chaos Marines.
Like Ultramarines and other chapters.
Damn other chapters, they ruined Holy Terra!"
Chaplain Skinner "You Ultramarines sure are a treasonous lot."
Captain Willie: "YOU JUST MADE AN ENEMY FOR LIFE!"
The last stand with the Chapter Banner was absolutely peak cinema.
Dude that whole final boss sequence was soooo sick! Big 1ksons fan so I was way too hype while beating that guy up 😂
The story was complete and simply straightforward...yeaaah john wick analogy hits
It may be small for others , but for me , hearing Big E telling ''Rise , son of guilliman'' to titus gave me a small tears , he fricking deserved it !
glad to see that someone else struggled against the scarab terminators. genuinely thought I was just not good enough for a second.
I definitely was nerding out during the first mission. Falls from high place like Chief does every game 😭. And then the mini reach moment literally had me say “omg are we doing a halo reach” 🙏🏼
ive been trying to learn more about warhammer lore and these videos are great. thanks for making them!
