@ I have a REALLY strong suspicion he did. A lot of the lighting and movement is very astartes, I reckon he’s got himself a nice role as assistant director or something along those lines
I dont know if it classifies as a headbutt, so far it was you hitting somebody with your forehad, not slamming somebody else into your own unmoving head 😅 Faceslam? 😂
@antonkukoba3378 it said "Titus" repeatedly during the episode, he is featured helmetless during the episode, and the episode is literally the mission he follows leandros and calgar for. The ma in the middle at the start isn't Titus, but he is featured extremely Heavily through both this scene and the episode.
Still too slow. Firstborn Astartes are consistently stated in official lore to have microsecond reactions and look like blurs in close combat. One day I would like to see someone make lore accurate Astartes.
Love how they finally show how strong space marines are I had a huge grin the whole time watching it was amazing we need more Warhammer 40k shows like this
We may get it, Henry cavill is working with amazon for a warhammer 40k series/show. Hopefully they see how people like this one episode, and follow and use the same animation/art team.
The best thing about this fight was the punches. The space marine punches looked, sounded and felt sooooooo good. The speed, the precision, the impact, everything. Perfection.
Yea and the way they achieved that look is w/ zero windup. The strikes are at 100% power from start to impact which is a fraction of a second. No kinetic push and momentum transfer like human bodies are required to do, just an instant release of energy like a hydraulic jack. They’re actually more like melee "shots" than punches. Uncanny and *very* cool
@@a.g.m8790 y'know what they say about spacemarines "nothing that big should move that quickly" I guess that includes sudden limb movement that hits like full swing from a baseball bat.
A short video from a lone fan changed the perception of space marines forever, and all subsequent works show a huge influence of Siyama Pedersen: from sounds and camera techniques to iconic poses and movements. Astartes GOAT
Siyama Pederson changed how Astartes are animated world over , the raw power and aggression in his animation influenced a lot , I hope Astartes continues now that he is out of Games workshop.
Or at the very least the animation was inspired by it since this was done by the LDR guys. Although he could've also consulted on GWs behalf (he was hired by them after all)
games workshop is literally the worst thing that happened to him he consistently put out good content and now they shut him down and have him do absolutely nothing
Precise movements, effortless engagement with weaker foes. No energy wasted. You can definitely feel that superhuman speed and perception. Looks like great art directing and execution.
They have really good movement, very fast strikes with extreme precision and timing. They did an outstanding job in showing how space marines would fight with their experience
I do feel Marines should be even faster than this, but they're clearly just treating this like a very easy mission so they're just going through the motions. You can tell they've gotten a bit too confident considering that one enemy managed to get a single shot to the marine's head there and the marine acknowledges it. It's why it seems to make him uncomfortable.
@@Pyre ya they are all ultramarines I think they are all Primaris cause one of them crushed a skull with only his hand and captain Titus is definitely a Primaris
I recall the entire cast of named ultramarines kneeling slack-jawed at the mercy of a certain general. Who was it again... Longvision? Distantseer? hmm
Syama set the standard for 40K filmmaking. His influence is all over this episode. He has his own signature filmmaking style that you instantly recognize.
You know, I've often wondered how an entire chapter of only 1000 space marines could possibly be the world conquering threat the lore makes them out to be. No matter how powerful you are, one thousand people is a very, very small number. And then you see something like this and it starts to make a little more sense.
@@GdiddydiddyI could be wrong but I’m pretty sure they would be targeting strategic locations that could cause a domino effect on the planet. Like let’s say 3 different companies capture 3 different cities that’s SO important, losing them would mean the whole planet is lost and everyone else surrenders when they’re captured.
@@xfatoushe-6908 Exactly what I think. People believed that the 1000 marines would make a frontal charge on a planet without a plan or strategy. In our own world we have special operations soldiers who go in small numbers.

0:25 I love how the marine is almost mad at himself for letting the heretic get a bolt pistol shot off at his helmet, annoyed that he even tried it, and maybe a little impressed, so he gives him a very personal and comically timed headbutt.
What really sells their combat mastery is the complete lack of any unnecessary movement. Every time they move it’s either an attack or repositioning for the next attack
Oh my God Amazon if you can make this and KEEP this up, Jesus Christ words can't even describe it. I'm literally lost for words on how good this looks.
but what if one of them was non binary and wanted to get it off their chest? you could go on a quest to convince their mother that thy're non binary??? Think how cool that wud be
Wrong. Plenty of energy wasted by stopping like he's mechanical. An actual fighter uses momentum to their advantage; this animator doesn't understand what combat looks like. It takes more effort to move fast and stop, than to move fast and roll into the next action.
He made an animation yyeeears ago an you ppl still go on about it, it was sick yeah, but I mean 😭 it was like 15 mins long and he works for GW now, bro sold his soul
Me, leaning over the table to the Thousand Sons player: You pull another Tzaangor out of your back pocket and we’re gonna have a problem. Applies to Tau and their Kroot Hounds too.
That is why other media of Warhammer is so famous. The lore and setting is SO FREAKING COOL AND OP. Meanwhile the cool units get bodied in the TT. I mean look at Adeptus Custodes. FFS. Meanwhile Tyranids wipe the board. The only army that I like in lore and on table is the Grey Knights.
In other news, Games Workshop & Amazon Studios have finalized their deal for producing a series with Henry Cavill as executive director too. Most news articles I'm seeing for this are only a few hours old, so this is a fresh development. First series will be several years away.
The look the 2nd cultist gives the first is like "You had one chance to shoot between the gap in his armour at the neckseal. You've killed us both fool."
@@dashawnbonnett5847 without helmet? Only if it's not center of the head maybe near of the ear or something, but in general they would die, even from max power lasgun shot. But you got the point, it was not the "normal" armor but sergant or something like that(because they get better equipment) But if we are talking about normal armor that would be dead astartes 100%
this is actually perfection, literal chills hipchecking a speeding car and going straight through it is the perfect representation of a space marine, the immovable object. the tanker heretic looking at his piece of junk bolt pistol wondering why it does nothing before being decapitated is absolute peak A shame this show only does one episode of it.
@@flamingsmore5904 Yup and he confirmed today on his insta that him and amazon have reached an agreement for the show so Henry's fight to keep the lore respect for the universe was a success excited to see what he puts out.
@@flamingsmore5904 The style is all stemming from Syama Pedersen's (the creator of Astartes) work on this. Or looks like it anyway. If Cavill and Pedersen could execute full creative control on a Warhammer series it would be a thing of beauty.
Animation went HAM on this! I love the details behind every swing. You can just feel the momentum and heft behind every strike. Like a piston shooting out. How many helmets flew off from being ragdolled by sheer force lol. Also the setting was so gooood, reminded me of 300 fighting at the hot gates.
This scene speaks for itself, no words can explain just how mad the leave of detail is, chief's kiss and a hat tip to the studio behind this! Can't wait to see the full thing!!!
Love the visceral hatred in only some of the strikes while others flow into subsequent strikes when needed with insane but never impossible speed. Truly a Warhammer masterpiece.
We're getting a little of that Astartes eerie-robotic-precision-stiffness back. Nice. Could be more robotic though, just to sell these guys are superhuman. No wasted movements.
@@LordCrate-du8zm Yup. His style works best when capturing the essence of these walking tanks! I love Space Marine 2 as a game, but it looks too much like mocap.
@@NimbleJack3 if you search for Syama Pedersen's linkedin(of course it doesn't mean anything), you can see he worked for 6 month at Blur Studio. On what ? I don't know, but hopefully on this Warhammer video and other things.
the pure efficiency of the movements and the way they know exactly what ther armor is capable of withstanding to the point he only dodged because it would have scratched the paint is the cleanest depiction of how they would fight .now imagine the primarchs
I think this is one of the single best warhammer animations ever made for the simple reason it’s the only one I’ve ever seen where they seem to move as implied: like super humans. Most of the animations just have them as big lumbering armored hulks.
My grip with SM2 tbh, i bought the game to feel like this, felt disappointed when my darktide crackhead reject felt more powerful Couldn't put more than 10 hours in SM2, have 400+ in Darktide
@@themelon_1785 Tbf, Titus would just walk through most of the enemies in Darktide leaving behind a red mist and strawberry jam. You can see that in SM2 when you face traitor guardsmen.
Hats off. You have exceeded all expectations in my view. This is what SM’s would look like in terms of size, scale and brutal efficiency Vs standard human heretics. Absolutely brutal. In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future… There is Only War
Great work. I love the impulse of the hits at 0:21 and 0:23 - punching cultists out of sight or into the ground is funny, but also conveys just how fast the Space Marines are moving.
Finally starting to see annimations that show Space Marines fighting like it should be. These guys are supposed to be the pinnacle of a semi-human fighting force. The tabletop has Spacemarines get mowed down with relative ease. This shows how superior the armor is and how fast they can move in it. Too much of the media says they are awesome but then doesn't show them being awesome.
To be fair they are fighting chaos cultists which in 40k is the human equivalent of a gretchin. If the marines were fighting necrons, eldar, or even a tau railgun they're going to take casualties much faster.
I love that every single attack looks perfectly calculated, they've thought out every move before they even make it and strike with brutal efficiency. Just how you'd imagine Super Soldier Demi-Gods to fight.
@@Noorthiacustodians are also considered demigods. They are literally called the brotherhood of demigods. In the actual books themselves the primarchs are actually also treated as minor gods not demigods
I do like the body language. At 00:53 the sergeant sees Titus sprint by and he double takes to the coffin that he left behind. At 1:30, he holds the chains back up to Titus like "You forgot this, idiot." I dunno just the little things make me happy.
And, I assume you already watch the full episode by now, the gesture actually shows how Metaurus have doubt/ suspect Titus to be susceptible to chaos. More like "Take the chain, don't do reckless move and disobey me, boy"
God's the sheer brutality and expertise of a Space Marine. Looks awesome! Also, throwing those hands at 0:20 is beautiful. Vlka Fenryka! For Russ! For the Wolftime!
"They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them and in the furnace of war I shall forge them. They shall be of iron will and steely sinew. In great armour I shall clad them and with the mightiest weapons shall they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight them. They shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will 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
The animators way of showing how fast space marines are by showing Titus moving in slow motion was incredible they did the same in the Astrates animation.

I mean look at Adeptus Custodes. FFS. Meanwhile Tyranids wipe the board.
The only army that I like in lore and on table is the Grey Knights.
Sooooo glad Sayama Pederson was involved in the layout. Finally getting the credit he deserves!!!
For anyone reading who may be unaware: Layout Artist is the animation equivalent of Cinematographer :)
@@HiyuMarten thanks for the breakdown! Do stoked my Astartes boy got his recognition!
I love how his punches and strikes are rigid and abruptly stopped. It’s like the ultimate control over killing
Secret Level releasing this along with an episode for Concord.
What a weird timeline.
@@trendybistro NO!!!
Gears of War, is a pale boring copy of WARHAMMER 40K
@@trendybistro ... this is bait
@@trendybistro If you're gonna bait, then i got a small correction: Concord WAS
the weirdest timeline ever...
@@MrSITH-qj6zp im sry what? Gears of War and 40K have almost zero correlation and y even bring it up?
In other news, Games Workshop & Amazon Studios have finalized their deal for producing a series with Henry Cavill as executive director too. Most news articles I'm seeing for this are only a few hours old, so this is a fresh development. First series will be several years away.
Let's hope with an up to date understanding of which way the cultural winds are blowing, that this Cavill series is allowed to be good.
Hopefully, he'll have creative control
I'd rather Syama lead the series.
@@titanicpat1275 Given the timing of it (being post election), my hope is that Cavill finally got a deal he was happy with
@@achronos178 It'd be good for him to be on as a consultant, but Henry is an actual filmmaker
I love how they showed just how strong and durable Space Marines are, that man just straight up body checked that vehicle
Not even body checked, he ran straight through it
Pulled a Nolan
Titus's pauldren vibrates when hes using the chainsword on that dude in the tank. Nice attention to detail.
0:27 I love how that one guy turns to his buddy like “bro are you dumb?”
well... yes that guy was dumb
The look the 2nd cultist gives the first is like "You had one chance to shoot between the gap in his armour at the neckseal. You've killed us both fool."
Well, it was boltpistol, so astartes should be dead, helmet cannot safe from point-blank range, even if it was boltpistol for humans
@@Stanislav292I think it generally depends on the type of armor. Some Marines can indeed survive a point blank shot.
@@dashawnbonnett5847 without helmet? Only if it's not center of the head maybe near of the ear or something, but in general they would die, even from max power lasgun shot. But you got the point, it was not the "normal" armor but sergant or something like that(because they get better equipment)
But if we are talking about normal armor that would be dead astartes 100%
That coordination, That agility, That brutality....God emperor is better than I imagined, is BEAUTIFUL!
this is actually perfection, literal chills
hipchecking a speeding car and going straight through it is the perfect representation of a space marine, the immovable object.
the tanker heretic looking at his piece of junk bolt pistol wondering why it does nothing before being decapitated is absolute peak
A shame this show only does one episode of it.
Remember Henry cavill is working with amazon on a warhammer 40k show, so we may see more of this style.
hey alright
@@flamingsmore5904 Yup and he confirmed today on his insta that him and amazon have reached an agreement for the show so Henry's fight to keep the lore respect for the universe was a success excited to see what he puts out.
The eye of Valle is always watching
@@flamingsmore5904 The style is all stemming from Syama Pedersen's (the creator of Astartes) work on this. Or looks like it anyway. If Cavill and Pedersen could execute full creative control on a Warhammer series it would be a thing of beauty.
Animation went HAM on this! I love the details behind every swing. You can just feel the momentum and heft behind every strike. Like a piston shooting out. How many helmets flew off from being ragdolled by sheer force lol. Also the setting was so gooood, reminded me of 300 fighting at the hot gates.
The incredibly casual way Titus drops the grenade down the tank hatch...
1:03 Hey, I recognize those sounds!
Astertes
Astartes?
This scene speaks for itself, no words can explain just how mad the leave of detail is, chief's kiss and a hat tip to the studio behind this! Can't wait to see the full thing!!!
Not speaking while in battle is the most badass part.
Yeah, it truly shows how professional they are
Love the visceral hatred in only some of the strikes while others flow into subsequent strikes when needed with insane but never impossible speed. Truly a Warhammer masterpiece.
Watched this four times in a row on Amazon prime and each time sat further and further on the edge of the couch
0:21 Bounced off that fist like a pingball off a flipper.
This whole clip is glorious
you call it a flipper? where are you from? we call it a paddle in america
It's a paddle
I have no words. This is the best thing to come out since Astartes. Truly amazing
Ikr the music and everything
We're getting a little of that Astartes eerie-robotic-precision-stiffness back. Nice. Could be more robotic though, just to sell these guys are superhuman. No wasted movements.
That’s because the Astartes animator (Syama Pedersen) helped make this.
@@LordCrate-du8zm Yup. His style works best when capturing the essence of these walking tanks! I love Space Marine 2 as a game, but it looks too much like mocap.
@@LordCrate-du8zm He's not in the credits. Got a source?
@@NimbleJack3 Good point. I think it was confirmed outside of production.
@@NimbleJack3 if you search for Syama Pedersen's linkedin(of course it doesn't mean anything), you can see he worked for 6 month at Blur Studio. On what ? I don't know, but hopefully on this Warhammer video and other things.
How space marine actually fight
Yeah
the pure efficiency of the movements and the way they know exactly what ther armor is capable of withstanding to the point he only dodged because it would have scratched the paint is the cleanest depiction of how they would fight .now imagine the primarchs
This was THE BEST fkin episode of Secret Level.
Fax
I think this is one of the single best warhammer animations ever made for the simple reason it’s the only one I’ve ever seen where they seem to move as implied: like super humans. Most of the animations just have them as big lumbering armored hulks.
Didn't watch Astartes?
My grip with SM2 tbh, i bought the game to feel like this, felt disappointed when my darktide crackhead reject felt more powerful
Couldn't put more than 10 hours in SM2, have 400+ in Darktide
@@themelon_1785 Tbf, Titus would just walk through most of the enemies in Darktide leaving behind a red mist and strawberry jam. You can see that in SM2 when you face traitor guardsmen.
@themelon_1785 we face much greater threats in sm2 and its not even close.
this has nothing on Project Astartes
This is one of the best Warhammer animations. It's spectacular
Hats off. You have exceeded all expectations in my view. This is what SM’s would look like in terms of size, scale and brutal efficiency Vs standard human heretics. Absolutely brutal. In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future… There is Only War
This Mad Max style really fits chaos well.
By the throne.. this is glorious.
Great work. I love the impulse of the hits at 0:21 and 0:23 - punching cultists out of sight or into the ground is funny, but also conveys just how fast the Space Marines are moving.
Finally starting to see annimations that show Space Marines fighting like it should be. These guys are supposed to be the pinnacle of a semi-human fighting force. The tabletop has Spacemarines get mowed down with relative ease. This shows how superior the armor is and how fast they can move in it. Too much of the media says they are awesome but then doesn't show them being awesome.
To be fair they are fighting chaos cultists which in 40k is the human equivalent of a gretchin. If the marines were fighting necrons, eldar, or even a tau railgun they're going to take casualties much faster.
The beginning is also pretty tabletop accurate since 3 bladeguard led by titus would absolutely demolish a 20 man cultist mob
this 1 minute segment lasted 30 minutes for me, i had to watch it over and over and over again.
I love that every single attack looks perfectly calculated, they've thought out every move before they even make it and strike with brutal efficiency. Just how you'd imagine Super Soldier Demi-Gods to fight.
they aren't demigods at all.
They are prety close
Thought custodes were supposed to be the demigods
@DanteTurner-q6m No, only primarchs could be considered demigods. No others.
@@Noorthiacustodians are also considered demigods. They are literally called the brotherhood of demigods.
In the actual books themselves the primarchs are actually also treated as minor gods not demigods
I do like the body language. At 00:53 the sergeant sees Titus sprint by and he double takes to the coffin that he left behind.
At 1:30, he holds the chains back up to Titus like "You forgot this, idiot."
I dunno just the little things make me happy.
Or titus vox text him to watch it for him lol
And, I assume you already watch the full episode by now, the gesture actually shows how Metaurus have doubt/ suspect Titus to be susceptible to chaos.
More like "Take the chain, don't do reckless move and disobey me, boy"
The space marine movement in combat is just how I imagined: fast, powerful, but precise.
He literally ran through that vehicle like it was nothing!
0:26 My face is my Sword!
And my shield!
God's the sheer brutality and expertise of a Space Marine. Looks awesome!
Also, throwing those hands at 0:20 is beautiful.
Vlka Fenryka! For Russ! For the Wolftime!
He looked at that cultist like "I _beg_ your pardon??" before inverting his face.
1:05 Man, that Leftenant Primaris Aura is immaculate
(I know who he is)
thats titus btw, the most gangsta of them all
Badass. Love to see Titus being as Titus as possible.
"They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them and in the furnace of war I shall forge them. They shall be of iron will and steely sinew. In great armour I shall clad them and with the mightiest weapons shall they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight them. They shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will 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."

"They OP"

@@randomuserame lol! 🤣
Everything spot on, except the "no foe will best them in battle" part....
I just realized the John wick reload, love this need more animation with this level of dedication
1:19 that was Titus 😄
yes after space marine 2's story because of the helmet
Yep, it’s set to take place after space marine 2.
@@tommasopisapia7464yep, he’s has his laurels of victory.
And still has the chain on his right arm when he is sanctioned by the inquisition
That axe pommel was blunt, and he still impaled it straight through that traitor guardsman like nothing.
F=ma
its the equivalency of us putting a skewer thru a piece of bbq took him no effort and just another tuesday night xD
*chaos cultist traitor guardsmen have lasguns and uniforms and it’s clear the heretics have neither
For the Emperor brother

CAN WE PLEASE GET A SERIES OF THIS!?!?!?
Make a full series of this please in this style!!
Warhammer 40k has everything needed to be this best movie, series, and game franchise for the next 2 decades
This was wow. It felt like Space Marines fighting. The power, the calm demeanor, the immense violence.
Magnificent!
The animators way of showing how fast space marines are by showing Titus moving in slow motion was incredible they did the same in the Astrates animation.
HIS POWER AXE ISN'T EVEN TURNED ON, oh that made me feel more giddy than it should have
Why wasting the battery?
Why bother wasting power on fodder enemies?
Yeah would be a shame to waste 1 second from a 1 billion years life battery
Absolutely incredible. The Emperor protects!
0:57
Heretics: "Time for Roadkill!"
Astartes: "Exactly."
Heretics: "Wait, what?"
I come back to this every day as a prayer to the emperor, for he shall grant me his blessing
That brutal, machine liked movement and precise combat technique absolutely got me
Yep that's what space marines in the lore. And only Syama Pedersen is capable to depict it properly in the movies.
