This trailer represents everything that cinematic Warhammer 40,000 should be: it is executed with competence, faithful to the lore and bears the unmistakable iconography of the universe's character, setting and theme. This is what fans want and expect from video game companies; this is an effort genuinely worthy of celebration and customers' money.
I don't feel like it's that accurate to the lore. The books often describe space marines as being able to move blazingly fast, but this guy has very slow and heavy movement as he runs towards the xenos
@@itsfelbourne8254On tabletop maybe. Not in lore. And that might’ve been just a regular warrior and not a prime. Either way, i think 3 space marines can easily handle 5-7 hormagaunts and a warrior.
@@zoa1064 I think he definitely helped because he did join their animation team. However, I don't think all of this is Syama's work because some of the camera work and animation is a bit different to his style. It isn't as grounded. For example, the jump from the dropship looks like his work but the sword fight dodge doesn't.
I feel like the creators of this trailer learned from the fan made videos of the community. I mean, just look at how silent, brutal and efficient these ultramarines are at handling the infestation. It's a step in the right direction to show how powerful these emperor's angels are.
@@KeksimusMaximus I can see the structure of the cinematic is inspired by GUARDSMAN. Think about it, Cadians in distress by Tyrannids and a Space Marine comes to their aid, the same kind of plot that was in the live-action short
@@Iris_n_Parti Yes, exactly. And the way spacemarines perform, being silent, fast and deadly is surely picked from Astartes. And that last scene with the helmet being taken off, just the whole way it's presented - Astartes again (okay this one might be a stretch, but still). It's actually a good thing that one person singlehandedly affected the whole franchise like that
@@KeksimusMaximus When the helmet got taken off and had a close up on the face I got major Astartes vibes. Didn't the guy get hired by Games Workshop? I wouldn't be surprised if he was involved in making this.
Really need a full movie with animation quality of this trailer. I'm so surprised 40K hasn't been given the love it deserves. Yes there's 40K movies but I feel they could be so much better with today's video tech.
They hired fans to make movies, than made a horrible video.... They need an entire set of TV series to cover this universe. Start with fantasy, work your way up to current 40k. Maybe have a trilogy of the Emperors origin and rise to power. This, if done well, could be 10-15 years of shows ... Huge huge $$ in it!
Man, the Space Marines sound so heavy, when they walk the ground literally shakes. But they move with the agility of a ninja. I like that they made them look like juggernauts, but made their augmented speed and strength really show.
well, they don‘t quite move with as much agility as a ninja, you can clearly see just how much effort and oomph are behind each movement and attack. I do agree that their sheer mass, bulk and strength are very well depicted though. plus they certainly are much faster and more agile than a literal human tank should be, lol
the one thing this video lacks is showing astartes SPEED. AND THEYRE PRIMARIS! Maybe Titus was just being leisurely, but astartes are supposed to look freaky when they fight because no thing that huge and hulking should be able to also move with such agility.
@@justsaying6341 Lore accurate Astartes don’t feel the weight of their armor at all. It directly connects to their nervous system and is powered, acting like a second skin and boosting their already superhuman abilities even further. They are FAR too slow in this trailer. They should be moving so fast in close combat that they’re blurs to the normal human eye. No media has gotten this correct so far.
100 years. He had 2 studs in the first game, gold studs denote 50 years for most Astartes chapters (that even still use them), and he has 2 more in this one.
@@Darkbart22 I've only seen gold as 50 years. But honestly, the lore is completely inconsistent in regard to this and they're just a weird holdover from the earliest days of 40K
i know its just a trailer mostly, but its already got that great space marine 1 vibe. This was such a surprise, and im so happy, space marine always deserved a sequel.
Yeah, makes me wonder if the relatively pathetic sound effects they used for the xenos falling to the ground was purposeful juxtaposition. Sounded like a wet sock being discarded.
I see that they learned one thing or two from Astartes mini series. Amazing. At last - no speeches, no epic and foolish attacks, no losses. Only calculated extermination.
@@waffle1489 As far as warhammer games go theres a load of not very good ones, but some of the good ones include space marine 1(third person shooter), dawn of war 1 and 2 and their expansions(real time strategy), battlefleet gothic 2(real time strategy), Mechanicus(turn based strategy) and darktide(co-op fps) For a few more warhammer games that are great there's total war warhammer 1-3(combo of grand stratey and real time strategy) and vermintide(fps but with magic, swords and bows), but those are based on warhammer fantasy not warhammer 40,000. So it all happens on 1 planet and has magic and swords instead of guns. Lots of the factions are either the same or similar though like elves instead of eldar, tomb kings instead of necrons, warriors of chaos instead of chaos space marines, orks are still orks, beastmen kind of replace tyranids, skaven kind of similar to genestealer cults etc.
@@mrmcjeff385 anything sandbox? I tried searching, I only find mods for other games, really can't afford to buy an army yet, I may try for 3d printer instead new to Warhammer.
"They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them and in the furnace of war forge them. They will be of iron will and steely muscle. In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest guns will they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them. They will have tactics, strategies and machines such that no foe can best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines and they shall know no fear." --The Emperor of Mankind.
I like the quote, but these are Primaris--not the Emperor's astartes. Tech-heresy at best, created by Cawl--not by the hand of the Emperor. I don't think he'd approve.
It's more the imperial cult that objects to innovation. I think the Emperor would be displeased with not only the state of the empire but the culture that has arisen in his dormant state.
@@FableWolfe The Emperor spoke to Cawl from the past (using one of the people that Cawl would later absorb the mind of) and said that he would be the one to continue his work on the Space Marines. So while not the "Emperor's astartes", it was his overall plan, it just took considerably longer because it wasn't the Emperor doing the work.
CADIA STANDS! THE PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD! Man, this all just makes me wonder if we'll ever get a game set in the shoes of an Imperial Guardsman. It'd have to be quite a change from the raw might of an astartes, but it'd be pretty cool in my opinion. Thing is, I can only think of them being a Cadian, Tempestus Scion, Catachan, or one of the Tannith First And Only. Other regiments are too... Structured in the way they fight.

Odds are he's still working on his Tao project, I highly doubt he would have helped in a AAA title only months before the trailer was released. I wouldn't be surprised however if he helped on the side for direction.
His past works have raised the standard for them in video productions, him being in this trailer or not isn't the case, what's matter is they adapted that style and it shows his presence here. Let's hope we see more of these and hopefully a Warhammer Movie.
@@rageblade233 he's not allowed to work on anything warhammer unless it's for games workshop. they literally cancelled astartes. hopefully the man behind astartes is getting compensated by games workshop somehow, and I'd believe it if his work/input was used for this trailer, but it's a shame what games workshop did to him and other creators of fanfic videos
Not only was Space Marine a competent action game, it probably had the best interpretation of a SM I'd seen. Titus came off as genuinely pretty human, in a universe where all space marine's are mostly just screaming rage machines.
Exactly, they can still be screaming rage machine but there has to be more than just that, unless its the legions whole thing, like World eaters I guess, but even then you can have compelling characters
Ultramarines are usually the more level headed marines out of all space marine legions. Ultra Marines are pretty human similar to the Salamanders. And then on the other hand... you have the space wolves.
@@alexpat3d ...Sadly. To me first part was good but it was so full of wasted potential and missed opportunities. It screams "low budget", even thou its clear devs tried their best whith what they had.
Agreed. I picked it up on a Steam sale, I think and really enjoyed it. Might have to reinstall it and give it another play through before this one comes out.
Please tell me we get to backhand Leandros in this one. I don’t care if he was being the perfect Ultramarine. Also a Guilliman cameo would be absolutely baller, since Titus is clearly now a Primaris.
@@lilvampire7439 I'm gonna guess 2 - 6 hundred years at the absolute most given Titus has done his time in the deathwatch as well as gotten 2 more centuries of regular service
@@connorparfrey9191 I'm not even sure Titus completed his time in the Death Watch. It is more than likely that either a certain Arch Magus or Guilliman heard about his deeds beating a demon prince with his own fists and tanking a ton of warp energy without any sign of corruption and just decided to upgrade his to a primaris.
@@orien358 that's how i saw it. Small raiding pod wasn't sure what to do until they got hive mind feed back. They still little beasties, bet that have that 6th sense when something isn't right.
Animation takes time, effort, and lots and lots of money. I'd be willing to bet the one minute forty five seconds of animation cost in the tens of thousands to make. What is even more astounding is one person can do this and more by themself, and for free(Astartes series). GW finally putting some money back into the franchise.
Im confused though. Is this a prequel or was he demoted after the first game. Has been a while since i had a codex in my hand but this does not look like a captain to me...
Everyone should just bann this kind of activity. Games workshop showed you all fans middle fonger and you now do them good? Wow. You should have some proud. Bann this, like they banned fanmade films. Shame of you fake fans
I just noticed a cool detail. When the gaunts see the space marines they start moving back before the warrior screams and they charge. OK cool why's that matter? Gaunts have basically animalistic instincts and that's it. So them backing up while snarling is a lot like what a frightened animal would do if it encountered something it was scared of. Meanwhile the warrior is a synapse creature, aka can think to a degree and more importantly can control lesser tyranid life forms, like gaunts. So while the gaunts are in fact instinctually intimidated by the space marines, the warrior is making them fight through it. It's just a cool subtle nod to the lore. I hope the game has it so if you target synapse creatures it'll throw lesser tyranids into disarray, possibly making some flee. That'd be cool.
@@zephod Will it? are you a dev on this game? you know, the worst thing you can do to yourself is hype up a game before its out. You will always, always be disappointed
OH MY GOD!!!!!!! I thought this was impossible! Space Marine still is, by far, the best action game from Warhammer 40k! I'm so happy with this sequence!
The only thing that really prevented that from happening was the dissolution of the old THQ. Now that everyone's properly regrouped, they can go ahead as planned.
Unless Saito Sicarious is the one fighting. He, Saito Sicarious would demonstrate to that poor lowly guardsmen how to fight in superior fashion like he, Saito Sicarious! XD
@@attackfleed1301 No, OG is right. They've put very strong accent on the fact that the rookie watches Marines as almost unreal. He admires them and heard whole his life about them. His whole life took him to this very moment, although he rather just run away and abandon his post. Fear got over him, he is paralised. Only fear forces him him to stand steal. He is jealous, he wants to be like the marines, but deep inside he feels like a coward. Simultaneously, for the first time he sees how mighty one can be against the monsters his community has been forced to fight his entire life. For the first time he sees hope. He was saved. He wants to become just as his saviours. He wants to become a Space Marine. Maybe now, he will earn his opportunity to be seen by his heroes. Perhaps they will even notice him on the freshly silenced battleground and grant him a promotion.
The original writers had 3 games in mind for the story. Game 1 happened, game 2 was supposed to focus on Titus becoming a renegade but still loyalist marine. I also saw another interview claiming that Titus was also possibly going to become an agent of the Inquisition after being interrogated for decade searching for warp taint. They found no corruption so decided to use his warp resistance for the good of the imperium. Honestly both of those sound sick
It also looks like he's been demoted from captain to lieutenant. Considering how it looks like he's been absent from the Chapter for two hundred years(based on his service studs), it makes sense. They'd want an Astartes with his experience to have a command position, but his successor has likely been in command for too long to simply install him as a full captain once again.
I had no clue they were ever going to make a sequel I thought the first one didnt do well enough. This is incredible news and a perfect trailer, gotta love a game that can throw in gameplay footage at the end of a cinematic because the game itself is immersive and appealing enough to stand next to a movie
The first one did very well but it was made by relic and published by THQ, who subsequently went bankrupt and the rights got sold. That is why there has been a question mark over a sequel for the last decade.
Why is this not the type of content we get from WH+? The sounds of the Bolters alone makes me want to squeal like a little child enjoying something awesome for the first time. With all due respect to the community creators that were shanghaied by GW, they are doing a remarkable job with what they have. But clearly, if one invests ample resources into something, it can be even greater. If the content on WH+ was anything like this in overall quality and polish I'd jump onto that ship in a heartbeat.
Watching this trailer again after games release. The fact that everything the space marines do here is exactly what the game is like to play, is outstanding.
0:52 those aren't space marines, those are Primaris marines. 0:57 judging by the tyranids colors these ones are from Hive Fleet Leviathan 1:11 look at his eyes...that's not JUST a guardsmen, that's a Cadian guardsmen, 144th Cadian Mechanized Regiment if I'm not mistaken. 2:04 Titus now has 4 gold service studs, so this takes place 200 years after the first game.
I look back at this now. And find that all the things that they did can actually happen in the game. The last sequence, Parry -> Gunstrike -> finisher/execution. Hahahaha I love this Game.
Warhammer is so good a subtle story telling in these little shorts. I mean just from the way the Cadian reacts to the Space Marines tells you so much about the world with only two words and good filming 10/10
I would love a series of the events leading up to and the entire horus heresy. It could start somewhere after the burning of the last church on Terra. If you haven't seen the animation the last church I highly recommend it.
It was the next logical step for the next horde army you could fight, I hope Necrons come into play, or maybe even Aeldari or something as the hidden bad. Could see Drukhari luring in Tyrannids so they could pick off some humans to turn into wallpaper.
@@8narutoshodowclones ya I was using the term “lord” comparatively here, I’d forgotten what the race specific term was for tyranid and I’ve been playing a lot of total war warhammer and the term lord is used for every race.
@@8narutoshodowclones If you're gunna get technical with the guy, at least be accurate. Titus was a Captain, the rank immediately below Chapter Master (and is now a Primaris to boot), and of the Ultramarines of all legions. Swarmlords to Hive Tyrants are what Hive Tyrants are to basic canon fodder lowly Termagants. Swarmlords are the Tyranid species' strongest creature by a mile it's not even close, and Swarmlords have fallen to Chapter Masters before, Ultramarine Chapter Master Marneus Calgar. So even if this WAS a Swarmlord, it wouldn't be unreasonable to see Titus put up at least a very close fight.
I feel like my man who made the Astartes series had a hand in this, considering the overall quality. Hopefully the actual game is of a similar calibre.
I kind of assumed they were going to do something with the original game, especially after the recent update after so long, but a full blown sequel. The Emperor protects, brothers.
Love how he just rips the xenos head off. You can tell he's really paying attention to his core and movement muscles, not just focusing on glamor muscles. Respec
Finaf*ckingllyyyyyy we are getting this gem! I finally managed to introduce my heretic brother to WH40K a couple of weeks ago with Space Marine 1 and now this will definitely seal the deal! Another brother loyal to the emperor in the making!
We need to gives the director of this animation a praise, this is how you depicts a Spacemarine, their present is a bless and hope, protector of humanity, they big, they re strong, they re BADDASS
2x of the most important details in my opinion with anything warhammer 40k related is the sound effects and detailed size. They have NAILED it in this cinematic. Bolters sound exactly how you'd imagine them to and the marines are a size youd expect them to be. Wish this was going to be a movie more than a game!
This definitely has the feel/quality of the "Astartes" project. I wonder if the same, gifted individual that produced Astartes also had something to do with this one. Absolutely amazing work. I love the vast differences of how the front-line soldiers are in complete terror as they are being systematically slaughtered by these xenos, only for the space marines to arrive and treat them like one would a cockroach. Beautiful savagery.
The person making the "Astartes" project was recruited by the mother company of warhammer to work on their projects. Seems this is where he was put to work. Imagine all the cutscenes and settings were designed in his philosophy... we might be in for a real treat boys.
Cool part about the part when he takes his helmet off is the 4 gold markings. (A silver marking is 50 years of service and a gold marking is 100 years of service). In the space marine armoring ritual cinematic, you can see the space marine with 2 silver markings for 100 years. Here you can see this space marine with 4 gold markings for 400 years of service.

@@itsfelbourne8254On tabletop maybe. Not in lore. And that might’ve been just a regular warrior and not a prime. Either way, i think 3 space marines can easily handle 5-7 hormagaunts and a warrior.

Astartes was just a fan flexing on everybody for 10 minutes we need a full series.
I think the guy who made the astartes series did this trailer.
@@zoa1064 I think he definitely helped because he did join their animation team. However, I don't think all of this is Syama's work because some of the camera work and animation is a bit different to his style. It isn't as grounded. For example, the jump from the dropship looks like his work but the sword fight dodge doesn't.

You are right. I feel like three different fan works compiled in here. Astartes mainly
@@KeksimusMaximus I can see the structure of the cinematic is inspired by GUARDSMAN. Think about it, Cadians in distress by Tyrannids and a Space Marine comes to their aid, the same kind of plot that was in the live-action short
@@Iris_n_Parti Yes, exactly. And the way spacemarines perform, being silent, fast and deadly is surely picked from Astartes. And that last scene with the helmet being taken off, just the whole way it's presented - Astartes again (okay this one might be a stretch, but still). It's actually a good thing that one person singlehandedly affected the whole franchise like that
@@KeksimusMaximus When the helmet got taken off and had a close up on the face I got major Astartes vibes. Didn't the guy get hired by Games Workshop? I wouldn't be surprised if he was involved in making this.
It probably was made by them, games workshop would be crazy not to hire those guys

Man, the Space Marines sound so heavy, when they walk the ground literally shakes. But they move with the agility of a ninja. I like that they made them look like juggernauts, but made their augmented speed and strength really show.
well, they don‘t quite move with as much agility as a ninja, you can clearly see just how much effort and oomph are behind each movement and attack. I do agree that their sheer mass, bulk and strength are very well depicted though. plus they certainly are much faster and more agile than a literal human tank should be, lol
the one thing this video lacks is showing astartes SPEED. AND THEYRE PRIMARIS! Maybe Titus was just being leisurely, but astartes are supposed to look freaky when they fight because no thing that huge and hulking should be able to also move with such agility.
@@justsaying6341 Lore accurate Astartes don’t feel the weight of their armor at all. It directly connects to their nervous system and is powered, acting like a second skin and boosting their already superhuman abilities even further.
They are FAR too slow in this trailer. They should be moving so fast in close combat that they’re blurs to the normal human eye. No media has gotten this correct so far.

@@waffle1489 As far as warhammer games go theres a load of not very good ones, but some of the good ones include space marine 1(third person shooter), dawn of war 1 and 2 and their expansions(real time strategy), battlefleet gothic 2(real time strategy), Mechanicus(turn based strategy) and darktide(co-op fps)
For a few more warhammer games that are great there's total war warhammer 1-3(combo of grand stratey and real time strategy) and vermintide(fps but with magic, swords and bows), but those are based on warhammer fantasy not warhammer 40,000. So it all happens on 1 planet and has magic and swords instead of guns. Lots of the factions are either the same or similar though like elves instead of eldar, tomb kings instead of necrons, warriors of chaos instead of chaos space marines, orks are still orks, beastmen kind of replace tyranids, skaven kind of similar to genestealer cults etc.

I like the quote, but these are Primaris--not the Emperor's astartes. Tech-heresy at best, created by Cawl--not by the hand of the Emperor. I don't think he'd approve.
It's more the imperial cult that objects to innovation. I think the Emperor would be displeased with not only the state of the empire but the culture that has arisen in his dormant state.
@@FableWolfe The Emperor spoke to Cawl from the past (using one of the people that Cawl would later absorb the mind of) and said that he would be the one to continue his work on the Space Marines. So while not the "Emperor's astartes", it was his overall plan, it just took considerably longer because it wasn't the Emperor doing the work.

I just noticed a cool detail. When the gaunts see the space marines they start moving back before the warrior screams and they charge. OK cool why's that matter? Gaunts have basically animalistic instincts and that's it. So them backing up while snarling is a lot like what a frightened animal would do if it encountered something it was scared of. Meanwhile the warrior is a synapse creature, aka can think to a degree and more importantly can control lesser tyranid life forms, like gaunts. So while the gaunts are in fact instinctually intimidated by the space marines, the warrior is making them fight through it. It's just a cool subtle nod to the lore. I hope the game has it so if you target synapse creatures it'll throw lesser tyranids into disarray, possibly making some flee. That'd be cool.
That will absolutely be a thing, or at least synapse ‘nids buffing gaunts and such, making them attack more often, something like that
Insert Tyranid Commissar :D
@@zephod Will it? are you a dev on this game? you know, the worst thing you can do to yourself is hype up a game before its out. You will always, always be disappointed

Simultaneously, for the first time he sees how mighty one can be against the monsters his community has been forced to fight his entire life. For the first time he sees hope. He was saved.

But i get what u mean
Looking forward to seeing what happenend from Titius getting tested by the Inquisition to becoming a primarus.
Tbh was expecting the Rogue Marines plot to take flesh but we'll see how this will roll
The original writers had 3 games in mind for the story.
Game 1 happened, game 2 was supposed to focus on Titus becoming a renegade but still loyalist marine.
I also saw another interview claiming that Titus was also possibly going to become an agent of the Inquisition after being interrogated for decade searching for warp taint. They found no corruption so decided to use his warp resistance for the good of the imperium.
Honestly both of those sound sick
It also looks like he's been demoted from captain to lieutenant. Considering how it looks like he's been absent from the Chapter for two hundred years(based on his service studs), it makes sense. They'd want an Astartes with his experience to have a command position, but his successor has likely been in command for too long to simply install him as a full captain once again.
Looks like he spent some time with the Black Templars with chain around his forearm

WELL SAID SIR!
The first one did very well but it was made by relic and published by THQ, who subsequently went bankrupt and the rights got sold. That is why there has been a question mark over a sequel for the last decade.

Fck the Emperor! Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!
@@TheMCmace yes inquisitor, this man right here.
We need to gives the director of this animation a praise, this is how you depicts a Spacemarine, their present is a bless and hope, protector of humanity, they big, they re strong, they re BADDASS
Never thought this was gonna happen tbh
The quality of warhammer games and trailers is going up exponentially, u gotta love it. :)
NOSTALGIC VALUE OF THIS SEQUEL: *ABSOLUTE*
2x of the most important details in my opinion with anything warhammer 40k related is the sound effects and detailed size. They have NAILED it in this cinematic. Bolters sound exactly how you'd imagine them to and the marines are a size youd expect them to be. Wish this was going to be a movie more than a game!
Personally I expect bolters to sound like a loud shotgun with rocket noises after. These just sound like video game noises.
It's the sequel we didn't know was coming, but we needed it
It would've been dope if the screen went dark and you hear the emperor voice at 2:10 say *they are my mighty bulwarks*
So here we are , 5 days away from release, that was a long wait 🎉
2:09 . That's Henry Cavill right there.
Titus: “my lord will you sign my codex?”
Guliman: “uh, certainty-“
Titus: **throws codex on the ground and spits on it**
Titus: “nerd”
Guiliman encouraged the thinking Titus has about it
guliman would probably pat him on the shoulder and be like ' finally someone who can think for themselves !"
Guilliman: *smiles* finally, someone who can think for himself.
Gulliman is gonna love Titus and vice versa. It's the majority of his chapter that acts like Leandros.
This definitely has the feel/quality of the "Astartes" project. I wonder if the same, gifted individual that produced Astartes also had something to do with this one. Absolutely amazing work.
I love the vast differences of how the front-line soldiers are in complete terror as they are being systematically slaughtered by these xenos, only for the space marines to arrive and treat them like one would a cockroach. Beautiful savagery.
The person making the "Astartes" project was recruited by the mother company of warhammer to work on their projects. Seems this is where he was put to work. Imagine all the cutscenes and settings were designed in his philosophy... we might be in for a real treat boys.
@@unholyquail4560 but we aren't getting any more astartes, so thanks games workshop!
@@berengerchristy6256 small price to pay for top quality GW animations
@@spades6100 Nothing that they've put out so far has exceeded "mediocre" quality.
Ten long years I’ve been waiting for this. Now it’s finally happening!
Not as long as Titus waiting to star in another game, judging from the service studs on his head.
Anyone else just watch this over and over for how awesome it is? Or is it just me?
Yes its just you.
nah it's not just you
Nope. Just u
Just you
i did
The Tyranids are my favorite enemy I’ve read about so far. The diversity in the hive is insane 🤯
Bro don't forget about the Genestealer Cults!
"T-The Emperor protects!"
"Yes. He does."
I see you are a person of culture!
Cool part about the part when he takes his helmet off is the 4 gold markings. (A silver marking is 50 years of service and a gold marking is 100 years of service).
In the space marine armoring ritual cinematic, you can see the space marine with 2 silver markings for 100 years. Here you can see this space marine with 4 gold markings for 400 years of service.
Cavill will smoke this character...DC lost more than Superman.
