Apologies if this was already covered, but have you noticed the Astartes Chapter symbol on the shoulder? during your review you pause it perfectly to show a mauled gauntlet holding a skull. That theme is also on the chest armor, a skeletal hand holding the skull. Perhaps a chapter specialized in hunting pyskers? Great review!

It does, but he has a point. If your legs have enough power to propel you forward that much, it's going to be longer than your normal stride. Thus, your feet touch the ground less. The faster you go on foot, the more you are basically doing mini-hops. Edit: A good place to see what it would look like is to play the original Star Wars Battlefront 2. When the Jedi are sprinting, that's what they do.
@@felixfarside1210 They should be running like a normal man in low gravity like on the Moon or Mars. With their strength gravity just has trouble keeping them down so it makes sense they would move in long and low jumps.
@@Shamino1 Honestly it would be surprising if it wasn't this long especially for Arch. Like the markings of the psyker's masks for instance has caused no end of speculation but you only have a frame or two that you can see them really clearly. Talking about markings for several minutes for just a frame or two is going to make it much longer then the original.
@@Shamino1 Young Neophyte, first seek the Emperor's wisdom. Then seek experience. I recommend checking out Mauler's series on Dark Souls 2 ruclips.net/video/RzKasf4_x34/видео.html.

(Or you can watch the original video: ruclips.net/video/V2B6de1Geks/видео.html)
Not really remember a space marines centre of gravity is a fuck of a lot higher and futher back than a normal person because a marine has his power pack on his back which is stupidly heavy so he actually would have to lean far more forward to compensate for it.
I agree. I mean would you get in that Marine's way? There also isn't anything for scale so we don't get to see that it's a 7 foot plus armoured psycho with maybe 400 years of combat experience. I don't even think getting out of the way would be an option.
They are towering over the humans in part 3, and they are roughly the same size as the space marines in this part. I was thinking they could be chaos space marines themselves, but the lack of bolters and power armor makes that a pretty thin theory.
I agree on treason and heresy being separate. Nowaday Chaos had lost all aspects of some of them being there to fight for their freedom and against opression. Huron failed too now, he's just another Chaos Lord now.
That moment where the Astartes pushes the Bolt Pistol past the kine-shield to fire then immediately go for the neck stab during the moment of weakness.
Something about the eye of that one Astartes throws me off. Seems a bit chaotic evil to me. Also looks like there are multiple eyes. Might be the reflection given the cracked glass, but still feels....evil with that tint of red as opposed to the psychic blue.
My favorite comment about this video from a FB group has been. "I love how we get to see the different firing modes of the bolters, from the " im bored executing all these heretics semi auto" to what is essentially "bolter diarrhea" for the real threats"
Well the problem for most is that they didnt know that space marines are always in a supressed fire mode. They never waste ammo or just shoot in a direction of a target as you normally would. Their every shot is precise and on point, not to mention bolt literally fires mini rockets rather than hullets so firing more than once for a small target is an overkill and since theyre resourceful they wont do that. Fighting psycher on the other hand is another matter so they had to. I just wish to know which specialization they are since astartes have two where one is that fights psychers specifically and other is for other enemies like humans aliens etc
"He kicks the ground and flies forward" Yes arch. You have successfully described the definition of running. At length. For several minutes... How am I not surprised ♡
@@Gunanest 1st. It's still running. When you run you basically skip from one leg to another. 2. I don't think they'd be able to do that since you know. They're heavy and gravity. If they had some sort of jetpacks that allowed them to do it sure, but otherwise i doubt it. 3. why would they forward lean when skipping since it would just fuck up their balance. As it is, you already forward lean a bit when running and they also have the armor/shoulder armor which is heavy to compensate for their power packs. I mean I'm all for lore but. Whoever wrote that seems like he didn't know how gravity works or how running works and just wanted to give an embelished description of running. Just so it's not normal running. Which I agree that they might have a more explosive style, but it would still be running... And seriously 3 meters is nothing for a space marine. I mean think about it. When we run, it's probably 1 meter distance. They're what 2.5-3 times larger than a human. Plus a lot more musculature. So really 3 meters at a time would be normal running for them.
@@cadeyrndragheim22 Regarding 1. you are right running and skipping are basically the same. Regarding 2. we have to remember that these are space marines in the universe of Warhammer 40k if the writers say that space marines travel more effectively by leaping (which is what i should have called it, instead of skipping) then that is what they do, even if it is stupid and unrealistic. Regarding 3. the forward lean was a bad explanation on my part and i should have just said that they leap instead of saying that they skip. And you're right about the distance thing too, i was being way too conservative about how long both their strides and leaps would be. I don't know if what Arch is saying is correct i just wanted to clarify what he meant, that is, that marines leap instead of run. In my own opinion, i think that both methods could look pretty cool, but i don't know which one is more correct as i haven't done the math.
The intro to the first Atartes mention pursuing the leaders of a failed uprising. It could be them in that vault. And if it was a corrupt governor that led the uprising it would explain the private army and psykers in their retinue.
I believe so too. On a planet, or somewhere where they can get foothold, the bounding sprint is possible. but I fail to see HOW you can run that way on a ship with metal floors.. Sure, they have marks in their feet armour that gives grip, but its still Ceramite armour. A type of metal. on metal, that will not give you foothold. This sprint in the video is much more believable. Maybe combi of maglocks in the boots and haul ass?
Yup. Leaping is stupid. If you are capable of leaping then you are capable of running faster than you can leap. Sprinting is the fastest way for a biped to move, leaping would be slower because there would be fewer steps per second - more power but less average speed.
gracefool Leaping makes sense for long distance running, like how gazelles move, especially if its not a smooth surface. Sprinting for relatively short and cramp distances like a spaceships makes more sense, i mean we do 100 meter dashes but you never see a sprinter at a marathon because of the difference of technique you need to be efficient
@@juanpablomontalvo4715 Moving like a gazelle only makes sense if you're built like a gazelle - in particular, with four legs and relatively light weight! It's much worse for a space marine because they're both much bigger and heavier than humans as well as more top-heavy. So to go fastest they would have an even less graceful-looking run than humans - let alone gazelles.
If you actually watch the background and see how fast this Astartes is moving (remember he's approxomately 8-9ft tall in armour and maybe 1200 - 1500 pounds) the sheer speed and amount of ground he's covering per step is fitting with an Astartes' running description and Arch is really over analysing this bit. Each step is a "leap" as he's not touching the ground mid stride... Don't know what kinda weird ass running Arch has pictured, apart from him "not leaning forward enough"?? But god damn, would that thing running at you be some real transhuman dread right there....
This part really hammers home how *terrifying* Psykers can be. Actually stopping bolter rounds, PLASMA and a charging Astartes mid-air with telekinesis like that. Eeesh.
And those were most likely only moderately powerful psykers. A psyker on the level of say a Thousand Sons Sorcerer could've just killed those astartes with a gesture or snap of the fingers.
@@MrHP25 Moderately? What? Uh, no, just no. Someone capable of stopping plasma is already better than vast majority of Imperial psykers. Also, a Thousand Sons Sorcerer is like in top 0.000001% of all psykers in the galaxy so no shit, and even then other marines do manage to kill them pretty often...

@@piotrskodowski7544 the non-Primaris space marines aren't that big (unless they wear terminator-class armor or heavier), also you should keep in mind how common cybernetic augmentation and genetic modification are amongst high-class citizens of Imperium.
@@PPWRUP Well assuming current lore (as i seem to remember SM have somewhat shrinked after introduction of primaris) they are propably primaris as they see to be close to two times as high as regular humans in first part and also psykers even with unfavorable perspective seem to have heads of their subordinates around their waists (judging by shock maul or whatever that was angle mostly). That would put them around 2,5 meters both. As for gen manipulation and cybernetis. Granted those psyker guys are heavily wired, but to reach this size is no small feat. We are talking bigger than Necromunda goliaths, and actually encloaching on lower eshelons of Ogryn territory!
@@piotrskodowski7544 they shrinked way before that. As for the first part - I'll have to rewatch it as I honestly don't remember (and I wasn't really paying attentions to the proportions).
if you listen to yourself you would have realised you were describing a nurato run just without the arms... I think the Creater of this did us all a favour not to do that
First when he started describing it I imagined it as how long jumpers run with big strides before jumping, then how the hulk was jump running in the first hulk film in the 2000s (just with much more believable shorter bounces/jumps) , but as he carried on I realize he was pretty much describing the Naruto run O_O .
"Everybody asked me to have a look at this" Oh come on Arch, pretty sure you were as eager to watch it as we were :p About the arms: at 8:20 you can see the left armed psyker seems to have an arm tucked under his gown
Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Tucked against his body as though it were in some kind of sling. I recall from the RPGs that Sorcerors can amplify their powers by imposing restrictions on themselves (scarification, incantation, sacrifices, etc)
@@WeirdPros that seems like a stretch. I'd find it more likely it is just an aesthetic choice, or there is some tradition behind the garb. I don't think their arm is restricted at all. It likely moves free underneath.
Another thing is something about the eye of that one Astartes throws me off. Seems a bit chaotic evil to me. Also looks like there are multiple eyes. Might be the reflection given the cracked glass, but still feels....evil with that tint of red as opposed to the psychic blue.
I love that they made the Astartes move FAST! So many other artists (including those who do cutscenes for games) make them plodding and slow, as if their athleticism isn't literally superhuman and further enhanced by their armor.
@Arch Warhammer Re-watch part 1. In the opening scene it literally states who they are and who the enemy are. They are the Retributor Astrates hunting the fleeing leaders of the rebellion on Argosa. Also, the psykers do have arms but are hidden, you can see the arm bend under their cloaks in part 3 and some in part 4, the way their chest seems to protrude out slightly is the remaining part of their arm.
I have talked to the creator and i found out 2 things the enemy soldiers are rouge guardsmen and the space marines are a homebrew chapter. Hope this helps👍
I forbid anyone from regarding the Blood Ravens as thieves until I see marine sergeant take 14 seconds to go back to recover his priceless artifact plasma pistol.
About bloody time. Do you have any idea how many times that I've watched this already? Also, we don't watch you for mechanics analysis, we watch you for lore, commentary, jokes, and Skaven gushing.
@@MyGuy18 That's a good overly furry Halfling with poor posture and sanitation. Now hand me back my coin purse and turn yourself in to the local Witch-Hunter.
He did bring up an interesting tidbit about the left and right arms though. One psyker having a dominant right arm and the other, his left. So many things that I missed.
And these psykers are big dudes!! As big as armored Space marines! Remember the part where, two regular guys walk besides the SM on the ship before the attack?
They've definitely been augmented to a high level. Most likely purely to enhance combat prowess. I'd hazard a guess that basic gene manipulation, new organ implantation, _and_ cybernetics were used. The hoods linking directly hints very heavily at it, and with a single implanted port, the hoods could be easily detached during down-time.
according to lore some space marines have psyker powers but they are forbidden from using them unless they are in a certain role, e.g. librarians, grey knights, etc.
Hey this is from part 1, who the enemy is: "The Argosa uprisings have been checked" "Retributor Astartes now assist the hunt for fleeing leaders of the rebellion"
The question isn't that it is are these rebels chaos or simple rebels. Are the Astarties curb stomping a bunch of freedom fighters or chaos cultists etc.
True, yea I didn't spot any chaos markings on them. anyone recognize their emblems? I guess we'll find out when we see whats inside that huge spherical vault thing (Navigator's sanctum? idk lol)
Just to point it out, from the very beggining of Part 1 it was said: "The Argosa uprisings have been checked. Retributor Astartes now assist the hunt for fleeing leaers of the rebellion"
hmm.. nice try, but that's clearly a red herring meant to throw Arch off the trail. Could also be some sort of cypher that once decrypted reveals the truth about the Armless Twins.
Blackbeard Obviously, psykers are already a form of abhuman, but, psykers don’t grow to be near Astartes-sized giants just because they have psychic powers. I’m talking about mutants with actual physical mutations. Ones that grow extra limbs or have hoofed feet or, like in this case, grow to be giants. These two could have been mutant Psykers, which would explain they’re massive size. It’s already been stated by the creator that these two are heavily augmented humans, so, we have our answer.
@@Gunnar001 are we forgetting the biomancy and telekinesis schools of psychic fuckery? the 1st addresses the physical aspect while the 2nd explains the force field, the paralyzing and "squishing" of the astartes.
At 8:00 you can see that the psyker in the back has his right arm tucked in under the cloak/mantle. The other one probably has it like that as well, but with his left arm
The question is what kind of leader is so important that a squad of Space Marines would head in to get them. I mean they have the eye of the Inquisition so they could be heretics or much, much worse.
I think its mentioned that the Retributors (Our Astartes) is after fleeing remnants of a rebellion. I think its also stated somewhere that these 2 are part of the nobility of the planet that rebelled.
Greetings Inquisitor! This is you friendly neighborhood Tech Priest saying that I was *most definitely* uninvolved with the procurement of heredical books due to the fact that I needed assistance in opening a safe that was several millennium old and let the librarian known as 'Arch Warhammer' have the books that would not related to technology or tosters.

@@Myuutsuu85 true but the whole concept of Slaanesh is praising happiness and expression (Though way to extremely). Not just sex and drugs but art, pride, thrills, and euphoria
Who are the golden masked dudes? 1. Siamese twin mutants (explaining why they're missing the opposite side of eachother and their size) 2. Bonded or twin Renegade Librarians. They're as big as Space Marines, they're almost as quick (Librarians are likely a bit slower than their brethren, on average), they're powerful under duress (wipe out the balcony group while facing hand to hand combat) and they're guarding something important enough to be of interest to the Space Marines. Renegade marines are often disillusioned or left behind men who take over entire worlds once left to their own devices. If these are indeed mercenary or subordinate Renegades, then it begs the question: Who is powerful enough to hire them?
@Sagrotan Yeah I saw the same stated somewhere after I wrote my post. It's an odd explanation that doesn't fit well as these guys are as big as the marines themselves *in armor*, they react as fast if not faster and they happen to be enhanced psykers on top. Those aren't your average "accessable to nobility" enhancements. The characters aren't bad or anything, but it does stand out as an odd choice, when all other details are meticulous. I'll take it though, it's a great scene.
he describes it terribly but he was describing a human sprinting. When we sprint, we lean forward and push off leg by leg more horizontally than vertically. he has a point, just that he is terrible at explaining it.
@@danielc2701 wanna look up some videos of world class sprinters because they don't lean forward anywhere near as much as people have been making out. Maybe at the start when they are pushing off those little blocks
A 500 lbs power armor smashing into you at mach 5 ? Being harmful upon impact with your soft body ? NOOOOOoooooooo... Absolutely not ! ;7 Also, YES ! That's why the charge was so brutal in DoW 2 ! I didn't know that ! ty Arch !
In the fluff they have a term called "transhuman dread", which is essentially when a regular human sees a Space Marine in his power armour, already larger than any human should be, moving towards him faster than a car and just freezes up or kinda loses it. Basically just the sight of it can render an enemy soldier incapable of fighting.
@@adorablecenturion8436 i mean, they should. remember that halo spartans weigh 1000 lbs with armour, how much more do you think space marines would weigh considering that they are much larger and have heavier armour? my estimate is 1500 pounds.
@@pierre-mariecaulliez6285 you are severely underestimating the weight of Astartes, especially Astartes clad in power armor. Their armor alone weighs hundreds of pounds, as do they.
1. At the very beginning of Part 1, the "Argosa Uprisings" is referenced, "...assisting the hunt for fleeing leaders of the rebellion." 2. The inscriptions on the hoods are psychic wards. Such a concept is not uncommon. 3. 08:11 -- they clearly are still in possession of their limbs. 4. The weapon wielded by the psyker is a "shock maul" ... see Part 3 ~0:05 5. The psykers are the same stature as the astartes. 6. The only actual problem with the charging Space Marine is that he is wildly swinging his plasma pistol while advancing rather than holding on target and continuing to recharge and fire repeatedly until closing for melee. An astartes would be perfectly capable of accurate fire at a sprint. I won't comment upon the accuracy of his sprinting style, because what Arch describes sounds geeky in the extreme. 7. The iconography of a skull clutched by a gauntlet is supposedly "retributor," which makes sense since in Part 1 the astartes are referred to as "Retributor Astartes".
regarding 3. Arch actually mentions the limbs at that point and adds that they look like they are missing the forearm. He also admits at 06:51 that it is possible that they still have them, but that if they have their whole arms left that i would make no sense to restrict them to keeping one arm in their cloak if they could use them to fight.
My impression was that the astartes ditches the plasma pistol because it overloaded or malfunctioned. He does fire two shots accurately at a dead sprint, but then as the weapon is discarded the glow of plasma dies, as if he wouldn't be able to continue firing anyway.
Um no the way he describes them running makes sense when you realise a space marines centre of gravity is a lot higher and further back on his body than a normal person its basically how a soldier in full gear with heavy pack on his back runs they lean more forward to compensate.
KuK137 as far as I know psychic hoods don’t have controls and even if they did it why would they put the controls in a place where using them restricts one of their arms
As others have pointed out, in the first episode of the series there is a brief lore message that reveals what the enemy is. Argosa Rebel Leaders fleeing after their planetary-scale rebellion failed (hence why astartes were sent to chase them)
I agree with you. It just looks better to the human eye when we observe movements that look more natural. I personally thought that Astartes sprint in the same way and it still looks amazingly quick!!
On part one you can see an inquisition pendant close to a pendant of their chapter in one of the astartes hands while they apply incense. So yeah, most likely inquisition.
We could assume the three that walk out at the end are same three that got hit by the psychic waves unlees these new Marines have just arrived after mopping up the rest of the mercenaries
You can see that their arms are folded inside of their coats in the same frame you're talking about it being a nub severed. They have their arms hidden across their chest, beneath the coat.
I was looking for this exact comment before I posted it. Especially when arm-pumping "throws off the center of gravity quite a bit"... All I could think.
I think that after the psykers stop all the bolter rounds, the Marines analyze the situation and conclude in an instant the kinetic shields could be vulnerable to a slower-moving, less energetic assault. The first Marine charges in with combat knife drawn and then by sheer force of will (and while held in mid-leap being telekinetically crushed) slowly pushes his bolter's muzzle through the shield and gets off a shot. Taking advantage of the distraction, his squadmate shows the other psyker why you never turn your back on an angry Space Marine and it's game over after that - just another day at the office.
The jumping/bounding gait used by space marines is specifically for covering long distances (ie. dozens of kilometers). It's the equivalent of a hard forced march for the Astartes, for getting from one battlefield to another when transport is not available, not for use in battle to charge an opponent. Just ask anyone who plays any FPS, jumping around may be faster, but it just makes you a huge target for the entire battle field. You DEFINITELY don't want to use loud, leaping movements, coming down like thunder with each bound as your multi-tonne power-armor slams into deck plating, alerting your enemy while trying to get a sneak-attack on two psykers who your brothers are trying to distract.
@Arch Warhammer - When trying to find specific parts of the video, the "," and "." keys will step you frame-by-frame back and forth, respectively. It's easy to remember because they are also the "" keys.
I'm not so sure. Unless they were conjoined specifically at the arm, they should be missing them up to their shoulders, and yet there seem to be stumps up to their elbows under their cloaks.
@@screamingcactus1753 conjoined twins can be either really conjoined aka having the same spine, and body parts mostly except the head.... or they can litterly only be joined at the hip by a small amount.
These guys were trained psychers, equipped with tech too good to be just some rebel commanders, same for the troops that got slaughtered in previous parts. They were bodyguards. Elite ones. And by Wh40k standards, whoever they were protecting is as strong, if not stronger than them. Rogue psycher Inquisitor is my bet. That's why he sits in that huge ball, akin to ones used for Navigators and sometimes Astropaths. His powers might be so potent, he needs to be locked up to dull them. We can catch a glipse of an Inquisitor at the end of the corridor in part 1, and the bolter in that part is being blessed with rather peculiar symbols. If these were just your run-of-the-mill rebels, Adeptus Astartes wouldn't bother. It must be something only they can pull off.
They are members of the world's elite who led the rebellion, they aren't very powerful psykers, but they use tech to enchanted their abilities and strength. The creator confirmed this.
Chris Bingley could be that Retributors focus solely on fighting humans. Retributor comes from Retribution, as in they are getting back at the rebellious forces for betraying the Imperium
@@Phoros The Chapter fluff for the Retributors specifically mentions that they focus on fighting the forces of Chaos. They're the Astartes equivalent of radical Inquistitors. Even going as far as to use daemon weapons and bound daemonhosts as weapons against Chaos.

I love how for the first time. The space marines seem pressed. The moment the space marines come into the scene you can tell by their movements that shit got real.
12:03 Alright dude, that would just look stupid on space marine. I don't like to imagine a space marine naruto running looking practical. It currently looks a lot cooler when they move like olmpyic sprinter with bit of a steady jump.
Arch isn’t saying that they would do a naruto run, rather that they do a kind of forward leaning skip. They still move their arms normally, but only move them when they jump matching how in that kind of skip you switch which leg is jumped with.
@@Gunanest Where are the sources that they run like this? Not being rude just curious. I looked online and couldn't find any examples of them running like that. It's probably from one of the many books. Arch's explanation reminds me of how the Jedi would sprint in the first Star War Battlefront II game
@@EmperorPrinc3 i don't have any sources and i'm not really sure if it is correct i was just explaining that what Arch was saying is that they leap instead of run. It could be right, it could be wrong, it could be both, this is the Warhammer 40k universe after all, everything and nothing is canon.
Okay here is a little exercise grab yourself a rucksack and fill it with rocks till it weighs about 70 pounds and try run forward like an Olympic sprinter and tell me how quickly you end up forcing yourself to lean more forward because suddenly your centre of gravity is on your back.
I loved the way they run, it looks sooooo cool, a full on sprint in power armour shows just how scary the marines are if you had them running towards you at break neck speed. IMO they should move like this all the time!!! They might also have internal gyroscopes to keep them from unbalancing at speed.
Dampener is also a word for reducing shock. Just as to "dampen" something can mean making it wet, or to diminish an effect somehow. Damper, however, is also a type of Australian bread. Apparently.
It looks like some folks missed it. DAMP-ER DAMP-NER One is a component made by the blessed machine god, the other is just your average human when he sees a psyker or astartes. I hear people making the error all the time and it drives me nuts.
@@watchthe1369 It's functionally the same word. There is no "wetness" distinction whatsoever - the word "damp" can imply moisture, or it can imply the dulling/softening of something.
Arch, the first 5 seconds of Astartes - Part 1 states that these are the fleeing leaders of a rebellion. You also missed the error where the 2nd arstarte's knife was in his left hand then somehow teleports to his right hand before nailing one-eye in the face.

Like the markings of the psyker's masks for instance has caused no end of speculation but you only have a frame or two that you can see them really clearly.

I don't agree that the marines moved oddly. I thought the movement was the best representation of Astartes speed ever.
I thought death of hope did speed pretty well too
@@sadhappy8860 yh it did but it didn't nail the natural movements
Not really remember a space marines centre of gravity is a fuck of a lot higher and futher back than a normal person because a marine has his power pack on his back which is stupidly heavy so he actually would have to lean far more forward to compensate for it.
I agree. I mean would you get in that Marine's way? There also isn't anything for scale so we don't get to see that it's a 7 foot plus armoured psycho with maybe 400 years of combat experience.
I don't even think getting out of the way would be an option.
Yeah, I personally thought nothing wrong with the way the Astartes ran.
One thing not brought up: The size of the psykers; They are as tall as a Space Marine!
That's true, and they are visibly taller than the random humans so it's not just an error
Filthy mutants.
They are towering over the humans in part 3, and they are roughly the same size as the space marines in this part. I was thinking they could be chaos space marines themselves, but the lack of bolters and power armor makes that a pretty thin theory.

I agree on treason and heresy being separate. Nowaday Chaos had lost all aspects of some of them being there to fight for their freedom and against opression. Huron failed too now, he's just another Chaos Lord now.

My favorite comment about this video from a FB group has been. "I love how we get to see the different firing modes of the bolters, from the " im bored executing all these heretics semi auto" to what is essentially "bolter diarrhea" for the real threats"
Aaaah! Thanks for that?!!😂😂
Well the problem for most is that they didnt know that space marines are always in a supressed fire mode. They never waste ammo or just shoot in a direction of a target as you normally would. Their every shot is precise and on point, not to mention bolt literally fires mini rockets rather than hullets so firing more than once for a small target is an overkill and since theyre resourceful they wont do that.
Fighting psycher on the other hand is another matter so they had to. I just wish to know which specialization they are since astartes have two where one is that fights psychers specifically and other is for other enemies like humans aliens etc
I concur: No camera shake nonsense, we get to actually see what is going on, even though everything happens so fast.
"He kicks the ground and flies forward"
Yes arch. You have successfully described the definition of running. At length. For several minutes...
How am I not surprised ♡
Exactly lol. Kick the ground one leg at a time. How is that not normal running again? XD
What Arch means is that instead of running the marines do a kind of forward leaning skip where they jump maybe 3 meters at a time
@@Gunanest 1st. It's still running. When you run you basically skip from one leg to another. 2. I don't think they'd be able to do that since you know. They're heavy and gravity. If they had some sort of jetpacks that allowed them to do it sure, but otherwise i doubt it. 3. why would they forward lean when skipping since it would just fuck up their balance. As it is, you already forward lean a bit when running and they also have the armor/shoulder armor which is heavy to compensate for their power packs.
I mean I'm all for lore but. Whoever wrote that seems like he didn't know how gravity works or how running works and just wanted to give an embelished description of running. Just so it's not normal running. Which I agree that they might have a more explosive style, but it would still be running... And seriously 3 meters is nothing for a space marine. I mean think about it. When we run, it's probably 1 meter distance. They're what 2.5-3 times larger than a human. Plus a lot more musculature. So really 3 meters at a time would be normal running for them.
@@cadeyrndragheim22 Regarding 1. you are right running and skipping are basically the same.
Regarding 2. we have to remember that these are space marines in the universe of Warhammer 40k if the writers say that space marines travel more effectively by leaping (which is what i should have called it, instead of skipping) then that is what they do, even if it is stupid and unrealistic.
Regarding 3. the forward lean was a bad explanation on my part and i should have just said that they leap instead of saying that they skip.
And you're right about the distance thing too, i was being way too conservative about how long both their strides and leaps would be.
I don't know if what Arch is saying is correct i just wanted to clarify what he meant, that is, that marines leap instead of run.
In my own opinion, i think that both methods could look pretty cool, but i don't know which one is more correct as i haven't done the math.

Truly, I think the sprint is more believable than whatever lore prexists. The "bounding" thing is excessively nerdy.
I believe so too. On a planet, or somewhere where they can get foothold, the bounding sprint is possible.
but I fail to see HOW you can run that way on a ship with metal floors.. Sure, they have marks in their feet armour that gives grip, but its still Ceramite armour. A type of metal. on metal, that will not give you foothold. This sprint in the video is much more believable. Maybe combi of maglocks in the boots and haul ass?
Yup. Leaping is stupid. If you are capable of leaping then you are capable of running faster than you can leap. Sprinting is the fastest way for a biped to move, leaping would be slower because there would be fewer steps per second - more power but less average speed.
gracefool
Leaping makes sense for long distance running, like how gazelles move, especially if its not a smooth surface. Sprinting for relatively short and cramp distances like a spaceships makes more sense, i mean we do 100 meter dashes but you never see a sprinter at a marathon because of the difference of technique you need to be efficient
@@juanpablomontalvo4715 Moving like a gazelle only makes sense if you're built like a gazelle - in particular, with four legs and relatively light weight! It's much worse for a space marine because they're both much bigger and heavier than humans as well as more top-heavy. So to go fastest they would have an even less graceful-looking run than humans - let alone gazelles.

If you actually watch the background and see how fast this Astartes is moving (remember he's approxomately 8-9ft tall in armour and maybe 1200 - 1500 pounds) the sheer speed and amount of ground he's covering per step is fitting with an Astartes' running description and Arch is really over analysing this bit. Each step is a "leap" as he's not touching the ground mid stride... Don't know what kinda weird ass running Arch has pictured, apart from him "not leaning forward enough"?? But god damn, would that thing running at you be some real transhuman dread right there....
This part really hammers home how *terrifying* Psykers can be. Actually stopping bolter rounds, PLASMA and a charging Astartes mid-air with telekinesis like that. Eeesh.
And those were most likely only moderately powerful psykers. A psyker on the level of say a Thousand Sons Sorcerer could've just killed those astartes with a gesture or snap of the fingers.

@@PPWRUP Well assuming current lore (as i seem to remember SM have somewhat shrinked after introduction of primaris) they are propably primaris as they see to be close to two times as high as regular humans in first part and also psykers even with unfavorable perspective seem to have heads of their subordinates around their waists (judging by shock maul or whatever that was angle mostly). That would put them around 2,5 meters both. As for gen manipulation and cybernetis. Granted those psyker guys are heavily wired, but to reach this size is no small feat.

And if the Astartes were doing that run it would look dorky af.
fishpop what he was describing may have been done poorly. What he was actually described was a bounding leap
I sounded more like the way the Alpha Series Big Daddies in Bioshock 2 run.
Lucian Lancaster
To be honest it’d be more like a kind of skipping.
First when he started describing it I imagined it as how long jumpers run with big strides before jumping, then how the hulk was jump running in the first hulk film in the 2000s (just with much more believable shorter bounces/jumps) , but as he carried on I realize he was pretty much describing the Naruto run O_O .

Correct.

@@WeirdPros that seems like a stretch. I'd find it more likely it is just an aesthetic choice, or there is some tradition behind the garb. I don't think their arm is restricted at all. It likely moves free underneath.

@Arch Warhammer
Re-watch part 1. In the opening scene it literally states who they are and who the enemy are. They are the Retributor Astrates hunting the fleeing leaders of the rebellion on Argosa.
Also, the psykers do have arms but are hidden, you can see the arm bend under their cloaks in part 3 and some in part 4, the way their chest seems to protrude out slightly is the remaining part of their arm.
I don't know why, but when he said they were possibly missing arms I was like, oh hell naw. lol
1d4chan.org/images/0/0b/Retributor_Fan_Chapter.jpg can't find a cleaner picture :(

And these psykers are big dudes!! As big as armored Space marines! Remember the part where, two regular guys walk besides the SM on the ship before the attack?
They've definitely been augmented to a high level. Most likely purely to enhance combat prowess. I'd hazard a guess that basic gene manipulation, new organ implantation, _and_ cybernetics were used. The hoods linking directly hints very heavily at it, and with a single implanted port, the hoods could be easily detached during down-time.
They super sized their genetics happy meal
according to lore some space marines have psyker powers but they are forbidden from using them unless they are in a certain role, e.g. librarians, grey knights, etc.
I also thought it was very strange that a Psyker would be THAT big.

"The Argosa uprisings have been checked"
"Retributor Astartes now assist the hunt for fleeing leaders of the rebellion"

@@Julez60 there probably won't be choas markings for legal reasons/GW being dicks.
I like how the psykers look. Strange kinda padded looking cloaks. the armored shoulders, the masks. Pretty distinct compared to imperial psykers.
Just to point it out, from the very beggining of Part 1 it was said:
"The Argosa uprisings have been checked.
Retributor Astartes now assist the hunt for fleeing leaers of the rebellion"
hmm.. nice try, but that's clearly a red herring meant to throw Arch off the trail. Could also be some sort of cypher that once decrypted reveals the truth about the Armless Twins.
"I have access to a little book with chaos runes in them"

No-one addressing the physical size of the Psykers? They rival Space Marines in stature.

EZ Rolly Yeah, as said, they either received bio modifications or perhaps they’re mutants.
They're psykers, the mutant box is checked already.
Blackbeard Obviously, psykers are already a form of abhuman, but, psykers don’t grow to be near Astartes-sized giants just because they have psychic powers. I’m talking about mutants with actual physical mutations. Ones that grow extra limbs or have hoofed feet or, like in this case, grow to be giants. These two could have been mutant Psykers, which would explain they’re massive size.
It’s already been stated by the creator that these two are heavily augmented humans, so, we have our answer.
@@Gunnar001 are we forgetting the biomancy and telekinesis schools of psychic fuckery? the 1st addresses the physical aspect while the 2nd explains the force field, the paralyzing and "squishing" of the astartes.
At 8:00 you can see that the psyker in the back has his right arm tucked in under the cloak/mantle. The other one probably has it like that as well, but with his left arm
"482.M39 The Argosa uprisings have been checked. Retributor astartes now assist the hunt for fleeing leaders of the rebellion."

The question is what kind of leader is so important that a squad of Space Marines would head in to get them. I mean they have the eye of the Inquisition so they could be heretics or much, much worse.
23:24 I love the minor detail of seeing the Astartes pass through the shield. That blue line going up the Marine just emphasized the speed to me.

Renegade marines are often disillusioned or left behind men who take over entire worlds once left to their own devices. If these are indeed mercenary or subordinate Renegades, then it begs the question: Who is powerful enough to hire them?
Ex-inquisitors, Rogue Traders, Planetary Overlords, Rogue Navis Nobilit House, and Heretic/Renegade Astartes.
Rogue Inquisitor perhaps ?
@Sagrotan Yeah I saw the same stated somewhere after I wrote my post.
It's an odd explanation that doesn't fit well as these guys are as big as the marines themselves *in armor*, they react as fast if not faster and they happen to be enhanced psykers on top. Those aren't your average "accessable to nobility" enhancements.

In the fluff they have a term called "transhuman dread", which is essentially when a regular human sees a Space Marine in his power armour, already larger than any human should be, moving towards him faster than a car and just freezes up or kinda loses it.

1. At the very beginning of Part 1, the "Argosa Uprisings" is referenced, "...assisting the hunt for fleeing leaders of the rebellion."
2. The inscriptions on the hoods are psychic wards. Such a concept is not uncommon.
3. 08:11 -- they clearly are still in possession of their limbs.
4. The weapon wielded by the psyker is a "shock maul" ... see Part 3 ~0:05
5. The psykers are the same stature as the astartes.
6. The only actual problem with the charging Space Marine is that he is wildly swinging his plasma pistol while advancing rather than holding on target and continuing to recharge and fire repeatedly until closing for melee. An astartes would be perfectly capable of accurate fire at a sprint. I won't comment upon the accuracy of his sprinting style, because what Arch describes sounds geeky in the extreme.
7. The iconography of a skull clutched by a gauntlet is supposedly "retributor," which makes sense since in Part 1 the astartes are referred to as "Retributor Astartes".
regarding 3. Arch actually mentions the limbs at that point and adds that they look like they are missing the forearm. He also admits at 06:51 that it is possible that they still have them, but that if they have their whole arms left that i would make no sense to restrict them to keeping one arm in their cloak if they could use them to fight.
My impression was that the astartes ditches the plasma pistol because it overloaded or malfunctioned. He does fire two shots accurately at a dead sprint, but then as the weapon is discarded the glow of plasma dies, as if he wouldn't be able to continue firing anyway.
Um no the way he describes them running makes sense when you realise a space marines centre of gravity is a lot higher and further back on his body than a normal person its basically how a soldier in full gear with heavy pack on his back runs they lean more forward to compensate.
@@Gunanest Or maybe, just maybe, they had the other hand on the controls of their psychic hoods or something...
KuK137 as far as I know psychic hoods don’t have controls and even if they did it why would they put the controls in a place where using them restricts one of their arms

Argosa Rebel Leaders fleeing after their planetary-scale rebellion failed (hence why astartes were sent to chase them)
Imagining legions of astartes jumping in unison made me laugh. I would actually then prefer this type of running, looks better.
11:17 To be honest... what they did sounds a lot cooler-looking than having the Astartes hopping about like a flea.
I agree with you. It just looks better to the human eye when we observe movements that look more natural. I personally thought that Astartes sprint in the same way and it still looks amazingly quick!!
I'm imagining scenes from Vraks in the quality of Astartes and Emperor above my bayonet is ready.
In before there's just a single Ork Weirdboy inside the heavily armoured vault
A very very large weird squig
Much respect to the guys who put this together the detail is amazing and I bet they didn’t expect it to be taken apart frame by frame
"are space marines bad guys?"
me: you new here?
Opens vault, finds a weapon of mass destruction - strategic interstellar baneblade.
*Cue the Blood Ravens*
CREEEEEEEEED
On part one you can see an inquisition pendant close to a pendant of their chapter in one of the astartes hands while they apply incense. So yeah, most likely inquisition.
Notice how 3 more Marines walk out of the shadows at the end
So... no casualties then?
@@nickkostakis6502 at least no KIA the Marines are probably wounded.
they seem to have suffer no loss, the squad seems to be formed of those 5 marines
We could assume the three that walk out at the end are same three that got hit by the psychic waves unlees these new Marines have just arrived after mopping up the rest of the mercenaries
@@michaellewis1545 the one who's eye lenses cracked might be wounded, the rear will be fine
You can see that their arms are folded inside of their coats in the same frame you're talking about it being a nub severed. They have their arms hidden across their chest, beneath the coat.
Damn when Arch says the creator has an intimate understanding of the 40k setting I feel like it means something.
12:00 So Arstates Naruto run towards the enemy? No wonder they are the most feared combatants in the galaxy.
in the far future, there is only the Naruto run
I was looking for this exact comment before I posted it. Especially when arm-pumping "throws off the center of gravity quite a bit"... All I could think.
More DBZ forward lunges but more angry.
Look at their leather clothes!! Jesus I just creamed my pants. The godamn detail
Would it be flak type?
Like the iron guard all is covered, in unique rich as fuck psyker fashion.
The moment the Marine double-grip stabs the guy, the background goes all motion blur. Like in anime :D
i found the weeb, lol
Weebhammer 40k.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only Jojo references.

I think that after the psykers stop all the bolter rounds, the Marines analyze the situation and conclude in an instant the kinetic shields could be vulnerable to a slower-moving, less energetic assault.
The first Marine charges in with combat knife drawn and then by sheer force of will (and while held in mid-leap being telekinetically crushed) slowly pushes his bolter's muzzle through the shield and gets off a shot.
Taking advantage of the distraction, his squadmate shows the other psyker why you never turn your back on an angry Space Marine and it's game over after that - just another day at the office.
The jumping/bounding gait used by space marines is specifically for covering long distances (ie. dozens of kilometers). It's the equivalent of a hard forced march for the Astartes, for getting from one battlefield to another when transport is not available, not for use in battle to charge an opponent. Just ask anyone who plays any FPS, jumping around may be faster, but it just makes you a huge target for the entire battle field.
You DEFINITELY don't want to use loud, leaping movements, coming down like thunder with each bound as your multi-tonne power-armor slams into deck plating, alerting your enemy while trying to get a sneak-attack on two psykers who your brothers are trying to distract.
You arch the 2 minutes video to 30 minutes, you absolute mad lads. Living the name.
i don't think their limbs are cut off,i believe they were Siamese twins
12:00 the word you are looking for is "skipping"'. The Space Marines bravely skip into the enemy lines; and people think the Eldar are gay.
Tactical Skipping
they do the naruto run, lol
@Arch Warhammer - When trying to find specific parts of the video, the "," and "." keys will step you frame-by-frame back and forth, respectively. It's easy to remember because they are also the "" keys.
"are the Space Marines the bad guys?"
Mr.Bison: OF COURSE!
Brothers missing opposite arms but soul bonded? Possibly separated conjoined twins?
A blessing from Tzeentch... most definitely low gammas
I'm not so sure. Unless they were conjoined specifically at the arm, they should be missing them up to their shoulders, and yet there seem to be stumps up to their elbows under their cloaks.
@@screamingcactus1753 Good Point.
@@screamingcactus1753 conjoined twins can be either really conjoined aka having the same spine, and body parts mostly except the head.... or they can litterly only be joined at the hip by a small amount.
These guys were trained psychers, equipped with tech too good to be just some rebel commanders, same for the troops that got slaughtered in previous parts.
They were bodyguards. Elite ones. And by Wh40k standards, whoever they were protecting is as strong, if not stronger than them.
Rogue psycher Inquisitor is my bet. That's why he sits in that huge ball, akin to ones used for Navigators and sometimes Astropaths. His powers might be so potent, he needs to be locked up to dull them.
We can catch a glipse of an Inquisitor at the end of the corridor in part 1, and the bolter in that part is being blessed with rather peculiar symbols.
If these were just your run-of-the-mill rebels, Adeptus Astartes wouldn't bother. It must be something only they can pull off.
This should be pinned, the backstory on the two psykers was revealed by the creator, but the implications for the story are nice
They are members of the world's elite who led the rebellion, they aren't very powerful psykers, but they use tech to enchanted their abilities and strength.
The creator confirmed this.
The Vault contains the STC for a plot device! :D
Alexandru von Carstein Zarovich if that were the case, the internet would collectively lose its shit
Who would win?
One fireteam of Loyal Bois Vs. One Ship full of Traitorous Scum?
Astartes part 5 came out and you where right on the ball with the inquisition.
What identifies these psykers as agents of the Chaos Gods?
The Retributors Chapter has come to deal with them.
Chris Bingley could be that Retributors focus solely on fighting humans. Retributor comes from Retribution, as in they are getting back at the rebellious forces for betraying the Imperium
@@Phoros The Chapter fluff for the Retributors specifically mentions that they focus on fighting the forces of Chaos. They're the Astartes equivalent of radical Inquistitors. Even going as far as to use daemon weapons and bound daemonhosts as weapons against Chaos.
@@chrisbingley Emperor we are getting into some Dark Angel territory there, using a deamon weapon didn't work out so great for Fulgrim a ********* Primarch, and deamon hosts condemn the host and summoner to the equivalent of super hell.
I love how for the first time. The space marines seem pressed. The moment the space marines come into the scene you can tell by their movements that shit got real.
12:03 Alright dude, that would just look stupid on space marine. I don't like to imagine a space marine naruto running looking practical.
It currently looks a lot cooler when they move like olmpyic sprinter with bit of a steady jump.
Arch isn’t saying that they would do a naruto run, rather that they do a kind of forward leaning skip. They still move their arms normally, but only move them when they jump matching how in that kind of skip you switch which leg is jumped with.
I have made a mistake in my explanation.
calling it a forward leaning skip makes no sense and what it really is just a leap. I apologize.
@@Gunanest
Where are the sources that they run like this?
Not being rude just curious.
I looked online and couldn't find any examples of them running like that.
It's probably from one of the many books.
Arch's explanation reminds me of how the Jedi would sprint in the first Star War Battlefront II game
@@EmperorPrinc3 i don't have any sources and i'm not really sure if it is correct i was just explaining that what Arch was saying is that they leap instead of run.
It could be right, it could be wrong, it could be both, this is the Warhammer 40k universe after all, everything and nothing is canon.
Okay here is a little exercise grab yourself a rucksack and fill it with rocks till it weighs about 70 pounds and try run forward like an Olympic sprinter and tell me how quickly you end up forcing yourself to lean more forward because suddenly your centre of gravity is on your back.
They not just crack his lens but they burst his eyeball.
The red in that scene is the bionic eye of Astartes
I loved the way they run, it looks sooooo cool, a full on sprint in power armour shows just how scary the marines are if you had them running towards you
at break neck speed. IMO they should move like this all the time!!!
They might also have internal gyroscopes to keep them from unbalancing at speed.
Dampers reduce shock.
Dampeners make things slightly wet.
Moist....😂
@@brothergrimaldus3836 I consciously avoided using that exact word, yes.
Dampener is also a word for reducing shock. Just as to "dampen" something can mean making it wet, or to diminish an effect somehow.
Damper, however, is also a type of Australian bread. Apparently.
It looks like some folks missed it. DAMP-ER DAMP-NER One is a component made by the blessed machine god, the other is just your average human when he sees a psyker or astartes. I hear people making the error all the time and it drives me nuts.
@@watchthe1369 It's functionally the same word. There is no "wetness" distinction whatsoever - the word "damp" can imply moisture, or it can imply the dulling/softening of something.
Not saying they aren't linked, but they have arms. 8:42 you can clearly see their forearms protruding from under the cloak.
I was thinking the same think lol
The arms look 'truncated' to me, I can't see a forearm there.
Arch, the first 5 seconds of Astartes - Part 1 states that these are the fleeing leaders of a rebellion.
You also missed the error where the 2nd arstarte's knife was in his left hand then somehow teleports to his right hand before nailing one-eye in the face.
Before watching, basing this on the title alone:
I am calm. WHAT HERESY IS THS?!
They definitely have a fully functioning arm under the hoods.
