For cinematics go for:
- 9th edition cinematic
- 10th edition cinematic
- horus heresy cinematic
- astartes animation
@@CommissarPickle This comment needs to be at the top
And Helsreach of course.
Dawn of war trailers,all 3 are cinema
The lord inquisitor too
I would also add the Dawn of War and Battlefleet Gothic armada cinematics
Dee: “He got away.”
The fly: “That fool had no clue that I, am Alpharius.”
Hydra dominatus
No, I am Alpharius.
I am Alpharius, this is a lie.
Are we sure this fly won't be infected with ork spores and come back to issue a "WAAAAAGH!" to Dee in part two? For all we know it already painted itself purple and is just waiting to attack him again.
@@Nightwalk444 no obviously you’re omegon, I AM alpharius
The Imperium has literally millions of worlds, which is why humanity's population is so damn high. There's essentially an endless supply of soldiers to throw at enemies
One thing Bricky fails to mention about the Adpeta Sororitas (Sisters of Battle), is that the entire reason they exist is because of a decree that stated the Ecclesiarchy couldn't maintain any "men under arms." They're exploiting a loophole.
Whats even more amazing about the sisters are that unlike space marines who has gene seeds, theyre all natural.
And it was all because of the Dickhead Goge vandire.
@@kaly8329 this is what bugs me - you have literal super soldiers with reactions and extra organs, cybernetics and stuff...and there's an ordinary woman with extra faith and military training that can kick his ass
@@saint_alucardwarthunder759 Thats world of 40k 🤣🤣
@@saint_alucardwarthunder759 "can" is a strong word. The average sister is not going to be able to 1v1 an astartes
For your question about regular people and manufacturing, while it's rarely covered in games the Imperium has around a million worlds loyal to it. Some entire planets are dedicated to growing food or manufacturing one specific thing. Trillions of normal people live their regular lives in cities, we just rarely see them outside of the books.
This.
By my estimates (picking some figures from lore across the decades), the population of the Imperium is close to fifty quadrillion people (50,000,000,000,000,000), spread across a million worlds. Even if the birth rate was 10% per year, that's still somewhere in the region of half a million people born every hour.
No matter how many millions of soldiers are slaughtered, the Imperium will keep growing. If anything, sending millions of soldiers to die horribly is a really effective way to keep population growth manageable.
The imperium also has planets that are entirely dedicated to simply pumping out as many soldiers as humanely possible like Krieg who totally don't use cloning technologies.
@@matteusvirtanen392 yeah…totally 😶
Humans. The Skaven of 40k.
@@BlackBungis Cadia
One thing I wanna add onto the Custodes that Bricky misses, the Custodians are not just soldiers or warriors; they're poets, painters, singers, philosophers, etc. The Custodians have the very very rare ability to express themselves outside of War, which is due to what they truly are. The Custodians are not just the personal bodyguards to the Emperor, they're his closest confidants and friends, the Emperor very often would speak to his Custodians for their opinion and wisdom on what he should do next.
The Custodians exist on an entirely different playing field than Space Marines, there has never been a single Custodian that has turned against the Emperor or been corrupted by Chaos; if Space Marines are humans that have been improved and elevated than the Custodians are humans who have been perfected in mind, body and soul.
Is there animated cinematics?
BOY IS THERE!
YES! I could list a few!
Astartes (all parts) obviously
Horus Heresy cinematic trailer!
The Helsreach Movie (fanmade!)
and all the Sodaz reuploaded animations! (games workshop bullied sodaz into deleting all his stuff, but does nothing for the reuploads:/ )
@@SargR dont forget nexus pariah and tithes aswell
@@SargR Dont forget TTS. Its amazing
Also the last church
And for just audio there is stuff like abomination
@@SargR the official edition trailers are dope too.
@@SargR As official animations, Pariah Nexus, Angels of Death and the Tithes are all pretty good too
34:35 Bricky actually HAS a space marine legion video
Bricky's vids are great for beginners since they're easily digestible. Since you're probably going to do part two after this, you'll definitely want the "Every Space Marine Legion in a nutshell" as well.
12:20 Yes, there are cinematics (most are going to be game cinematics) - You've got Dawn of War 1 and 2 (we do not talk about 3), Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters, there are a few short ones for DarkTide. For the tabletop they've been doing full blown cinematic trailers for the latest editions (9th edition, 10th edition). Horus Heresy and Kill Team have trailers for some of the non-main tabletop games.
nope they are good for tourist
I understand gatekeeping but you're taking it too far.
Nobody around you likes you. Everybody is straining themselves to even consider spending time around you.
Oh of course the gate keeper has a black templar logo as a pfp
Bricky made this video before he started his podcast, where he learned a lot more in depth about most factions in 40k, so this video is very surface level and more memey than actual fact half the time. I kinda think he should remake it now
YES
The whole 20/18 Primark's thing is basically there ARE twenty Primarchs and their legions but before the Heresy, two legions did something, we don't know what that caused the emperor to have them killed and legions disbanded. All records of them were wiped out and the other Primarchs had their memoires wiped so they couldn't speak of them.
Games Workshop did this so players could make up and imagine their own head cannons for what the two missing legions were. We're most likely never going to find out.

@@madhatter1662 Shhh!
@@srottfaen when you understand both Alpharius and Omegon are 0,5 so it adds up in the end
@@Masso-gy9yu a fun little addon to that.
Originally, the idea was 2 and 11 disappeared AFTER the Heresy, as in "our bureaucracy is so bad we lost 2 of the most important pieces of information on our Galaxy, no Idea who they are."
But in the 2000's when GW decided to start writing the Horus Heresy, they (wisely imo) decided to not introduce 2 extra legions. So instead 2 and 11 disappeared before the Heresy, before Corax was even recruited, with only the vagueat hints about them.
It's an interesting solution to a complex issue.
@@TheLordofMetroids You ofcourse are correct, though originally (at least the original idea at the time) it was so you could make up your own primach/legion... but GW is notorious for ret-conning every other month
25:38 "The Imperium of Man is home to over 1,000,000 Human-settled planets scattered across over 100,000 light years of space in the Milky Way Galaxy."
One word: ASTARTES
Astartes is good, but i prefer Praiah Nexus by Captain Sakan. Actual faction, theres dialogue, the story is comprehensive regardless of how familiar you are with Warhammer
@@themagicman6078 for Pariah Nexus I only found a playlist of 30-60 second videos/trailers which don't seem to be connected to each other..Doesn't seem too comprehensive to me oO
Followed by Helsreach
@@GrotesqueSmurf There is about 3 episodes of Pariah Nexus, they're just on GW's site called Warhammer+.
@@themagicman6078 Don't know what you mean by "actual factions". Astartes features chaos cultists and of course Astartes, the redempters chapter are also canon to the setting as well so I'd say it features "actual faction".
To answer your question about logistics, ie: how are there this many human solders, how do they make this many guns, where are the 'retail workers'? The Imperium is made up of millions of worlds, with entire planets being dedicated to one sole thing in many cases. You need food? Agri worlds transform an entire planet into farms. You need guns and tanks? Forge worlds are an entire planet turned into a factory. You need lots of babies to replace the millions of dead guardsmen from a single battle? A hive world that's an entire planet turned into one giant metropolis with billions of desperate citizens to recruit.
24:25 there are thousands of planets dedicated to making guns and tanks called forge worlds, there are planets only used for farming called agriworlds and there are planets that are just 2 or 3 giant cities, and sometimes even only 1 big city called Hiveworlds.
And those Hiveworlds can also specialize to make it even simpler lol, but don't forget, we are talking about Trillions if not even more humans in Hive Cities. (or at least across a few)
@@LolGamer5 the T'au even said the human population of 1 hiveworld is more than their population in one Sept (star system) like damn they breed like it's sport
@@Subject35th well, at least we are good at something else if you know what I mean 😏
the most insanely overpopulated hive worlds contain more people in one hive city then the entire Earths current population e.g Necromunda prime was been stated by GW sometime ago to have a population of between 10 - 13 billion and its largest of the 5 hive cities on the planet!
When he said SMII is the gate for him, it reminds me that Dawn of War Soulstorm was the gate for me to dive in W40K universe when i was a kid.
31:27 The way Bricky presented this is a little confusing. The image is of the original legions. AFTER the Horus Heresy would come the 'side sections', which are the Space Marine "Chapters". The Legions who remained loyal broke down their legions into smaller forces to limit the amount of power a single Primarch/Legion could have. For example: the Crimson Fists CHAPTER and the Black Templars CHAPTER came from the Imperial Fists legion
For context, the Imperium is said to occupy "A Million Worlds". While being somewhat hyperbolic, most worlds will have a population at least on par with modern-day Earth. Hive cities, vast circular structures spanning continents that reach up into the stratosphere, can sometimes house billions in their own right, containing housing, work places, necessary services, and more for vast populations, and some worlds might have several hive cities on them. Humanity reproduces at the same rate as modern day Earth, but across nearly a million worlds. THAT is how the Imperial Guard has so many soldiers.
add in he fact that most worlds pay a "tithe" to Terra (often in the form of resources AND regiments of soldiers), and you can see how humanity has managed to wage unending war for centuries
He made 20 sons, but two were erased from history and if you ask to many questions, well then you might dissapear! On Terra there are statues of the sons were two of them are smashed beyond recognition. So we know about Horus who did a big no no, but nothing about the missing sons, so what did THEY do....!?!?
There were one Legion pr. primarch but after the Horus Heresy they were split in to chapters of about 1000 so if another primarch or other chapter leader would rebel or be corrupted he would not have like whole legion (million) space marines, but only those 1000.
The inquisition would like to know where you got this information…
who, what, were? *hides*
@@Delthfaithe yeah thats what i thought
Also I think GW made it so that the 2 other factions is there for you to make your own
@@CarstinTwitch That was the case, but in the Hersey Novels, they are talked about by the other Primarchs, and it is hinted Russ and the Wolves had dealt with them . Although it is also said that some of the Marines from the erased legions were folded into other legions.
It's GW, they are bound to Retcon stuff.
50:25
Kaldor Draigo is basically a Doomguy of Warhammer. THIS GUY is just off harassing DEMONS in THE WARP, just travelling there and killing everything on his path for Emperor knows how long
Oh, and also, small addition... HE LITERALLY
CARVED HIS NAME
ON A HEART
OF A DEMON PRINCE (PRIMARCH)
Oh, and about Grey Knights. They in fact originate from someone. From Big E, that is. Their geneseed is the geneseed made from the Emperor himself, which is kinda cool, I guess
“A warhammer movie would be told really well through the eyes of a foot soldier.” - you already understand this universe and how to adapt it better than most people. One of my biggest fears with a potential warhammer show or movie is that it would be all about space marines. They need to introduce people to the universe through the eyes of someone we can relate to, not super human Demi gods.
Similar to Godzilla Minus 1 style of storytelling?
Well said.
I feel that canonically a movie from the perspective of a guardsman would be a short-form film😅
Don't worry the show got cancelled when Henry refused to let it get posted.
One problem - that's likely to be a VERY short movie...
Cool note on the Grey Knights, Their Gene Seed was engineered directly from the Emperors own genome.
25:47 Cadia is not Earth. Earth is known as "Terra" in this setting. Earlier in the introduction it was said that The Emperor is a master of a 'million worlds' - this is not an exaggeration. We've colonized MILLIONS of worlds in 40k across the galaxy. As for why a Cadian would burst into tears, you'll want to look up "Battlefleet Gothic 2 The Fall of Cadia".
Holy Terra is the official name.
In our universe it is called Terra as well.
The movie E.T. is literally short for "Extra Terrestrial" meaning someone who's not from Terra. We also talk about Terraforming.
30:29
After the Heresy, it was decided that the Legions held too much power at their current sizes (Exhibit A: the Traitor Legions), so they were broken into "Chapters" of a maximum of a thousand Marines each.
Lutin09 has tons of deep dive videos of the lore. He just release a deep dive for Titus the main character of the videogame.
Pancreas No Work also is fantastic with a deadpan sense of humor and it's nice to see someone who doesn't felate the Imperium all the time... He's busy felating anything with pointy ears instead :P
The Primarchs "joke" is that there are two Primarchs who were erased from all Imperial records. Out of universe, this was done by Games Workshop so players of the tabletop game could create their own homebrew Space Marine Legions and Chapters. In-universe, the truth of the matter is unclear. But what is known is the Emperor issued a writ of Damnatio Memoriae (Condemnation of Memory) on the two Lost Primarchs and their Legions, meaning all traces of them were to be expunged and all knowledge of them was to be forbidden. It's one of the biggest mysteries in the setting, and one we'll probably never get answers for.
Bricky's videos are honestly the best way to get into the lore, but here are some things you need to remember:
1. he loves to meme, and therefore, often the info he's trying to say becomes inaccurate or confusing because of it
2. it is now incredibly outdated. (things often get retconned, and since the release of his videos, 2 or 3 major factions have been added to the game, and quite a few minor factions have been added as well.)
3. take everything with a greain of salt and do your own research about the lore afterward, learn what is true and what isn't. primary source of lore are the Codexes (rule and lore book) for each faction as well as the Novels (though codexes take precedent). secondary sources is Lexicanum, it's more accurate than the Warhammer 40k wiki, which has horrible citation.
That's my main gripe about Bricky's video. He's all over the place. Instead of concise summaries, he goes on extra tangents and memes that makes it more confusing. I really think people should reconsider watching someone else for an actual lore summaries. Bricky just does information overload.
His problem is that he hasn't read most of the lore outside of the 2-3 factions he likes, but he does hour long podcasts about other factions where he is just reading stuff off of wikis, which are either very vague, or inaccurate. This is just all pathetic Wiki Reads.
Pancreas, Luetin, and Templin Institute are great ones for lore summaries, they also have actual decent deep dives.
@@jack-exzolt9858 I mean I would only recommend Bricky for absolute newcomers with little to no knowledge. They will have a decently good time and if they are interested, they can start finding out more accurate lore for themselves. Watching Luetin as a newbie and to make a reaction video out of it is hard lol
@@HienNguyen-cs1md
Luetin as a newbie is a nightmare. I got into reading the wikis and fan fic before I even touched Luetin. The guy is the most accurate lore master IMO, but he is so dense and his videos are 1h long at a minimum.
His introduction to Warhammer video though is pretty good.
@@jack-exzolt9858 I mean, I love Pancrasnowork, but Colin is exactly what you just described you dislike about Bricky.

@@Ballard258 tts is a must
@@omegaprime9727tts is best when you can understand some of the refrences, so tts should not be shown to beginners as tts is a parody of the real lore so its easy to belive that tts is somewhat canon, when its not.

53:44 Imperial Knights are not used by space marines and they aren't autonomous robots. They're piloted by regular normal humans who come from noble houses who exist solely to pilot Knights. Some of them are associated with the Adeptus Mechanicus, but mostly they come from these planets called Knight Worlds, which are feudal worlds ruled by these knight houses.

Here's a little easter egg from the Space Marine 2 game: When Cadia was destroyed, the Cadians present were engulfed in warp energy, and caused their eyes to have a purple hue to them. Later generations of Cadians born on different worlds, do not have this "defect". So, only Cadia born Cadians have these purple eyes. This washing of warp energy has given these pure born Cadians with purple eyes a type of 'warp resistance'. Now, for the easter egg: In the game, there is a part when the Thousand Sons mind control Cadians and turn them into chaos worshipers. Except, the Cadians with purple eyes. If you look close enough, you will notice that the chaos worshipers are the Cadians with normal eyes while the Cadians that weren't effected all had purple eyes. I just thought this adherance to lore a real nice touch 😊👍
Dude Watch the spoilers.
They were purple before the fall of Cadia - eye of terror exposure probably
Dude, don't spoil it for him! But yeah, I agree, it's a very cool little touch that has any lore fanatic just realizing at the back of their mind, "Waaait a second, something's not right here..." just instinctively, even before you consciously put it together about where the scene is going. It's a fantastic moment, utterly undercut by the Thousand Sons showing up and the moment falling kinda flat. At least have them SAY something! Even just, "Death to the followers of the corpse-emperor," would be better than the flat nothing and cut to combat that we got.
god i love when people learn about warhammer and end up watching bricky
@deebeegeek The " Innocentia nihil probat - Innocence proves Nothing" from the Inquisition is actually quite fitting for them and they are not completely wrong in the broader view of their task.
1. just because you don't know you did something wrong, it doesn't mean that it was right/good.
2. just because you are innocent now, it is not guaranteed that you will stay so in the future.
3. just because you are innocent, it is not guaranteed that you will not become an unwitting tool for evil.
I love you're staring out with Bricky. When you get a little more comfortable with the lore, you can move on to the GOAT Leutin09 videos.
The Last Church: Tyber Portoghese's Iconic Animation
Terra (earth) is just the original home planet of humanity...by the year 40,000 humans have colonized the galaxy and have over 1-million worlds where humans live / work on
not entirely more like 40 ish percent of the galaxy but a large chunk yeah
Something to mention is that they're used to be 20 legions of space marines in lore but 2 were so messed up that the Emperor had their legions and primarchs removed from history. So he basically committed exterminatus on 2 of the legions essentially
"I want to see animations"
Oh boy, he has no idea of the can of worms he just opened.
I'd start with the 9th edition trailer, Astartes, and helreach
HELSREACH
To answer your logistics question:
There are millions of worlds in the Imperium, with trillions of people. (And many worlds not in, or cut off from the Imperium.)
There are factory worlds.
Breeding worlds.
Fishing Worlds.
Brothel worlds.
Mining worlds.
Ocean worlds.
Agri-worlds.
Art worlds.
etc.
14:06 He says 18 instead of 20 because two of the factions were initially made to be a "create your own Legion" for the tabletop games. One for Loyalist, and one for Traitors. For the sake of lore convenience, Games Workshop simply choose to ignore those two completely.
the inquisition would like to know your location
I mean, the lore does mention them… But doesn’t mention anything about them, just that something awful happened, their records were deleted and no one talks about them or whatever.
Arbitor Ian has a great video on them, he goes over all the info we have through codexes and novels.
Careful now.. the inquisition is always watching!!
Lorewise, they existed but were expunged from all records and it was forbidden to speak of them... or else... yeaaah
Love how much exposure the brickster is getting thanks to everybody playing space marine 2 and going “dude what the fuck is happening”, makes me smile to see him get his flowers
An animated video you should really check out is Astartes on youtube, it's a fanmade animation by one guy that many 40k fans consider the best media of 40k that exists. Other suggestions are horus heresy animation aswell as the animations for 9th edition and 10th edition.
Seconded.
Also I suggest original reuploaded Astartes with original sound etc. GW for some reason edited some shit here and there and made it worse.
@@Zabijaka87 if i remember correctly the bolter sounds were taken from a licenced movie (Dredd i think) which a fan project can get away with but when GW pulled it under their banner it becomes a liability
If not mistaken, the Astartes creator got drafted to GW [warhammer owner] to make more Warhammer stuff
@@Rictos Corretc.
It's always great to see someone enthusiastic about learning 40k lore. As far as stuff to watch and movies and so on, there's a quite a few recommendations here and there; for one, a lot of the cinematics played in the video come from video games like the Dawn of War series, which is a great plot to follow [although people try to pretend DoW3 doesn't exist], there's a bunch of fanmade stuff like the Astartes animation, there's the animated Ultramarines movie and a bunch of animations made for advertising. I do recommend checking out a lot of fanmade stuff because there's some really cool things out there like an SFM of the Death Korps of Krieg-- Hell, there's an animation set as an instructional video on how a Bolter gun works.
Regarding animations, the Last Church is something you should definitely check out. It's a fan-made animatic (based on an official short story) that gives you a look into the motivations of the Emperor and the timeframe right before the Great Crusade.
It is a very nice animation. I believe it was taken down for copyright reasons, though, but there might be unofficial versions out there somewhere.
@@JohmpaThe original video is still up but has a minute of audio scrubbed at the end. You miss the closing line “Come, we have a galaxy to conquer.”
@@kr0w119 true
Bricky did make one small mistake that he’s since rectified in other content he makes about the mechanicus on mars. It isn’t so much that they don’t believe in the emperor, it’s that their belief is different. They believe the emperor to be the Omnissiah, basically the prophet of their machine god, whereas the rest if the imperium believes him to be a god
After you finish every single Warhammer 40k faction explained, episode 2 you should react to every space marine legion explained, also from Bricky. There you will understand the space marine legions better.
Bricky’s Warhammer videos are some of the best starting videos for new people, he does a great job of explaining everything in a way that makes you understand them well enough within a short period of time.
There are a show called "Hammer and Bolter". It is an anthology, that shows a bit about the different factions, some of them are better then others, but overall a good show, if you can get over the animation being a little jerky. I enjoy Episode 6 "Garden of Ghosts" and episode 7 "Kill Protocol"
59:48 sorry my personal pet peeve: Custodes (golden dudes) are not space marines. They have existed way before marines or even primarchs were created and are created in very different way. Marines are sorry if mass produced, transplantation of extra organs and body modifications (second heart, poison filters, metal string in muscle fibers to strengthen them, fused rinse to create another layer of armor) while each Custodes is literally custom made on molecular level from newborn. Instead of second heart, they have heart so perfect it doesn’t lose efficiency with two holes in it. They don’t need metal fibers in muscles to be stronger and faster than marines etc etc. They are emperors personal retinue, not soldiers in his armies
Never have I clicked so fast in my life.
I was here to ride the Halo hype train, now I'm ready for Deebeegeek's Warhammer era
I'll be honest, I used to be a huge Warhammer fan, less so these days. I also used to consider Halo kinda mid, but really have grown to appreciate it more, so I guess I'm the reverse of your journey xD
@@Archris17 yeah, Games Workshop has done some questionable decisions with the franchise recently, hopefully it doesn't fall from grace like Halo did.
Nah I still Halo Fans but I love both sadly booth side also show some crack.
So everyone is equal footing
There is something so incredibly satisfying seeing someone's mind get blown by how crazy this universe is... Feels like I'm discovering it anew for myself and I can't wait to see your reaction to part 2, and after that maybe some other creators like Luetin09, scholar's lore or Weshammer!
I’m personally space wolves and necron fan I’m extremely excited to see you learn more about these factions
31:27 This was first foundation that created 20 (18, cuz we not talk about 2 lost legions, every information on them was deleted from the archieves, and even asking about them can make a local inquisition get interest in you) Space marine legions. But after Horus Heresy there was Second Foundation and loyalist legions get their sub factions called chapters
I would highly recommend "Baldermort's guide to warhammer's" video on Fulgrim, its the story of the fall of the primarch of the emperor's children. it has a lot of good information about horus heresy. Another creator and video I would also recommend is "The Amber King's" video on konrad kurze, the primarch of the nightlords. Another tragic story of a fallen primarch. enjoying the warhammer reactions, thank you!
@@ydoanything112 I want to see his reaction to baldemorts night lords video xD
That intro would blow his mind
@@DogmaticNonsense very good suggestion I wholeheartedly agree!
"Where's all the women?"
In the guard, there are mixed and gender separated companies.
"Where are the resources?"
Entire planets being extracted.
"How do you build these things?"
Entire forgeworlds dedicated to that.
"Where are the normal people?"
Working in those places or part of the guard.
Hope that helps lol
The "20, no, 18" primarchs thing is because the first edition had two extra chapters of first-founding space marines (valedictors and rainbow warriors) back when the game was just called Rogue Trader. As of now those two chapters are considered nondescript "later foundings" and aren't paid any real attention to by GW. The general explanation is that the two unknown primarchs can be a means of players coming up with their own primarchs and stuff in a roleplay sense. Some of the books have vague references to the lost primarchs. So basically there are 2 primarchs that are assumed to be either MIA, dead, or turned to Chaos. Grey Knights were made from the genetics of the Emperor himself instead of a primarch.
There are more chapters than primarchs. There were 18 (or 20?) chapters in the "first founding". More chapters were created after that by borrowing the gene-seed of those. So for example the Ultramarines are a first founding chapter. The Silver Eagles are their own chapter, but are a successor chapter of the Ultramarines, so they share some of their DNA but are their own chapter. Each chapter is a bit like a knightly order with its own rules and way of doing things, but all loyalist chapters follow the Emperor.
And yes, humanity is on countless planets in 40K. Our own IRL solar system is home to some of the big boys though. The emperor's throne is on Terra (earth), the Adeptus Mechanicus are located on Mars, and the Grey Knights are located on Titan, for example.
Cadians are the guards you serve alongside in Space Marine 2. They're known for being some of the most tough and badass "regular" humans of the guard, and their planet was destroyed leaving them a people without a true home and a huge grudge.
Imperial Knights aren't used by Space Marines. They're literally high ranking nobles from various planets who have inherited giant mechs as part of their hereditary position. It's like ye olde medieval knights pledging service to the King. Except in this case the King is the Emperor.
I might be wrong but I don't remember rogue trader defining what chapters are first founders, they just present 12 of them without pretending any of them is more important than the other, they don't even list 20 of them in the picture of that includes the rainbow warriors and I can't find a source for what your saying, just people repeating the same point
As for the valedictors, it was stated in a white dwarf in 1990, and the actual codifying for first founding chapters didn't come until 2nd ed, with codex imperialis
Okay the three most significant Imperium factions that he didn't cover in the video are probably the
1. The Imperial Navy, the space based forces of the Imperium flying around with fleets of ships that are miles long. Also provide the fighters and bombers for air cover above the battlefield.
2. The Titan Legions, this branch of the Adeptus Mechanicus drive skyscraper sized mechs with the firepower of a starship. They are very expensive very large models (you might have a tabletop army just consisting of just a couple of scout or medium titans and maybe some supporting infantry, an Imperial class titan to scale on the tabletop is the size of a toddler and the model costs thousands of pounds), The Imperial Knights from Agricultural Knight Worlds are like cut down more practical to play versions. The Orks, Tyranids, Chaos and Eldar also have Titan equivalents (Tau have a very large plane as their equivalent).
3. The Adeptus Arbites, they are basically SWAT cops, they police crime from day to day stuff to fighting massive armed syndicates, Tyranid Genestealer Cults, Pirates, and if a planet is invaded they are expected to put up a resistance. They are basically like an Imperial Guardsman but wearing heavy Flak Armour, carrying riot shields and wielding batons and shotguns, they dont possess much in the way of heavy weaponry, just APC's.
4. Each planet will also have its own Planetary Defence Forces (PDF) separate to the Imperial Guard, basically like a moderately armed militia/National Guard they will have a few small starships for customs patrol of their solar system or to defend the planets orbiting starport, they possess infantry, tanks, planetary fortresses and anti-space batteries, sometimes orbiting defence weapons, and are usually represented by Imperial Guard models. In lore they aren't particularly well trained or motivated and will usually break easily or get infiltrated and taken over by Xenos/Chaos before the shooting even starts.
If you SPECIFICALLY want to know about the different space marine legions I highly recommend brickys "Every Space Marine Legion in a Nutshell" its really the best possible summary of the main legions under the primarchs
59:38 the Custodes aren't Space Marines, they are indeed super soldiers but are an entirely different breed and even different biology, they are the Emperor's vision of the perfect human, they re not only warriors, they are scientists, artists, thinkers, the pinnacle of everything good in human elevated by the thousand, war is just one of their talents, contrary to space marines, which their entire existence is for war
Depending on the Space Marine chapter. Guilleman recognized the focus on war would make the Ultramarines obsolete after the great crusade and implemented their roles as diplomats, politicians, economists, police, and various other civic roles throughout Ultramar which is why Ultramar is like a mini Imperium and ensures if things went like the Emperor intended then the Ultramarines would have a purpose. In complete opposite the World Eaters recognized their impending end as they were good for war and only war and actively avoided changing anything about themselves to solve that issue. Had the crusade gone as planned I think the Custodes would have been sent to end them tbh.
33:30 When the Primarchs were scattered across the galaxy, they landed on planets that were already inhabited by humans for thousands of years. With time the Primarchs became leaders of these planets. Remember in the Golden/Dark Age of Technology humanity colonized the galaxy but all these planets were cut off for thousands od years from Terra and the other planets because of the imense amount of Warpstorms caused by the Eldar debauchery. The birth of Slaanesh calmed the Warp and the Warpstorms lessened, which lead to the re-integration/conquest of these planets that developed their own culture and evolution.
Helsreach by RBoylan, really love to see your reaction to it 12:43
I second this. Helsreach is phenomenal
@@ИгорьМордашев-п6жAgrre, Watch Hells Reach, it starts simple and is fully rkeoazed by the end. It is a great story too.
Well, I'd definitely love to see your reaction to "The Last Church" to get an idea on how Big E would react to the Ecclesiarchy
Btw, Big E is a "Perpetual" basically if he "dies" he just respawns pretty much 100% healthy, but the people didnt know that so when they put him on the Golden Throne they basically stopped him from coming back healthy
"This is SO OVER THE TOP!"
Bingo!! You got it. Pack it up, boys. Our work is done, he's one of us now.
Oh boy are there plenty of Wh40k animations, where to start. This fan base has some of the most creative talented people apart of it (who don't get the respect they deserve by Games workshop) here's a list from must watch at the top.
- Astartes
-Siege by SODAZ (he refused to get hired by GW so they made him remove his 40k stuff but there are plenty of re-uploads)
-Death Korps of Krieg by SODAZ
-Killteam cinematic trailer 2021
-Warhammer 40k 9th edition trailer
-The Lord Inquisitor prologue
-SCORCH part one
-Death of Hope (This is 30k, aka the Horus heresy)
-Warhammer 40k Space marine armouring ritual cinematic trailer
-Death korps of krieg by AbsolutelyNothing
-Helsreach (This is an entire amazing series based on the audio book of the same name)
-The fortress Monestary
-(pretty much everything SODAZ has made)
Boss, I have been itching to get my foot into warhammer 40K, and im super glad i'm taking this dive with you! Keep up the great content and thanks for sharing.
The more you learn, the more you're going to look around in the game and realize how BANANAS space marine 2 is. Also Bricky has a space marine legion video.
Btw, Bricky really downplayed the Adeptus Custodes there. Once, a custodes killed 10 space marines before they realized he was attacking them
6 Custodes wiped out a million Tyranids once.
The entire Space Marine 2 campaign on the hardest difficulty would be light work for one
One of the greatest rites of passage for anyone getting into Warhammer 40k is watching the Emperor's TTS series.
The point of bricky going down to 18 from 20 Primarchs is that two were expunged completely from Imperial records and specific knowledge of them was removed from the minds of some Primarchs at their request. Whatever they had done was so terrible that their statues in the Imperial Palace were removed whereas even the statues of those Primarchs who rebelled against the Emperor in the Heresy weren’t removed but only covered over with a large cloth.
To get a grip on what the Horus heresy was about, you can read Horus Rising and the four books that come after it - they tell how the heresy started. Then there are 49 more heresy books and ten Siege of Terra books that complete the story of the heresy 😂 I have read them all - many are good, some are great, some are bad. Or you can watch a 40-minute video by Arbitor Ian that gives a great summary of all the major events
1:16:07 you frikking get it. Welcome, brother, you’re finally awake!
there are the recent edition launch videos, astartes is quite exceptional despite being a one man fan project, and you can find clips from their subscription streaming service if you look hard enough.
33:18 so basically each primarch was created by the emperor using genecrafting. Then the genetics from each primarch was used to create the gene seed for the space marines. After the primarchs were scattered throughout the galaxy, the emperor went on a crusade to find them all. The 18 space marine legions existed at this time, and as the primarchs were discovered they were reunited with whatever legion was created from their gene seed.
YES there are a few animations, but not many because GamesWorkshop doesnt like people using their IP.
"Pariah Nexus" by Captain Sakan is the longest and most straight forward story following a Salamander Space Marine trying to save refugees from a world overun with Necrons.
"Horus Heresy" is an official GamesWorkshop short giving a glimps of the Horus Heresy.
"Astartes" is the most famous, it doesnt follow any canonical Space Marine faction but it was so well made GamesWorkshop hired the guy who made it to make their official animations going forward- including the "Horus Heresy" animation I mentioned above^
And to make the space marine legion stuff a bit clearer: You of course have the 18 legions which are under a Primarch, each with their own thing they specialise in. And then you have chapters/successors, which derive from one of the 9 loyalist legions. The Ultramarines have a ton, with some actually being DLC chapters in the SM2. But chapters were created after the Horus Heresy, and a way of not putting all your soldiers into one basket; so if one chapter gets wiped out, then you still have several others
Cinematic... One word "Astartes"
hydra dominiatus
I would recommend, albeit fanfilms and such, The Lord Inquisitor, If The Emperor Had a Text To Speech Device, Helsreach, and Astartes
2 of the primarchs were eraced from history 20 existed 2 had a fate so bad they eraced them
It was done by Games Workshop so that players could create their own homebrew legions for the two missing ones.
@@watcherzero5256 thats a head cannon and not acurate
@@watcherzero5256 what demonic mist said
@@demonic_myst4503 It literally says it in the earlier rule books, before they introduced the concept of Successor Chapters there was only the original 18 Chapters/legions so the 2 missing gave the ability to create your own colour scheme/fluff.
Custodes are my favorite. The Custodes regularly host what are called Blood Games, where real or simulated threats are introduced to the palace (which is about the size of a small country) in order to test the security. Horrible foes, terrible monsters, and the most skilled among the Imperium’s military officers have all had their turns in the Blood Games. And sometimes the Custodes lose. Sometimes a unique tactic or circumstance results in a threat reaching the very doors of the Golden Throne itself. And so not only are the Custodes the strongest, the smartest, and the best equipped, but they have been continuously improving for ten titans years, not punishing or hiding honorable and competent failure, but growing stronger through it. Warp-powered weapons can harm them no more than the raw metal they are forged of. Flame snd lightning and other energy attacks drawn from the warp dissipate harmlessly against their bodies. Daemons suffer extreme pain just from being in their proximity. Before even raising a weapon, a Sister can utterly overpower almost any warp-reliant foe.
And the Sisters of Silence beside them, vastly inferior in physical prowess, are an unbreakable aegis against warp threats. A Sister sees through all illusions. Shapeshifting, glamours, compulsions, and other psychic forms of concealment do not impact them in any way.
@@quillquickcard8824 while I do not like the Female Custodes thing. The newest animation on Warhammer + with a Custodian and a Sister of Silence was immensely baller. Thee best showing of the Sisters of Silence.
There were two Primarchs erased from history. The 2nd and 11th legions.
Just to add more detail to brickys video
1. Men and women serve in the astra militarum. Every world in the imperium has to tithe manpower or material.
2. There were technically 21 Primarchs but 2 were erased from records and 2 were a pair of twins though only the emperor and a handful of others knew.
3. After the heresy the space marines were broken down from legions to chapters. Meaning if a legion like the ultramarines had 100000 marines at the end of the heresy they broken into 100 chapters of 1000 space marines.
4. The adeptus mechanicus believe the emperor is an incarnation of the machine god, that’s how they aren’t considered heretics.
5. The grey knights don’t originate from the primarchs. At the end of the heresy several librarians from different legions were sent to the moon of titan to set up the grey knights and they were given gene-seed made from the emperor. So every grey knight is a space whose “primarchs” is the emperor.
6. Imperial knights are giant mechs piloted by a human. They come feudal worlds where they nobility. Imagine Mech game of thrones in space.
7. Custodes aren’t hand made humans in the way he describes. They were originally and are still taken from the children of defeated Terran nobility. Unlike space marines who are taken when they teenagers, custodes begin the enhancement process in late infancy. Through a process of bio-alchemy they are infused with the genetic material of the emperor and changed at the very root of their being.
If want more degail on space marine legions he has a video on all the legions
Also templin institute, cadia is a great video. Kinda brings you to more current events in 40k
23:52 taking care of women? Universal conscription means UNIVERSAL conscription. Half the guard are women.
@@ProcessLoH all do their part for god Emperor and his nine golden primarchs
The intro cinematic for Mechanicus will definitely give you a good vibe of what the tech-priests are all about. Darktide cinematics will give you a bit of a look at a hive world under attack by chaos cultists. The cinematics for the Dawn of War games are all just cool Space Marine battle scenes. I'm assuming you've already seen the Space Marine 2 cinematic trailer. The cinematic showing Imperial Knights is Dawn of War 3, I think.
Other than the edition promo cinematics others have mentioned, there aren't a lot of high-quality CGI cinematics because there haven't been a whole lot of big budget Warhammer games. Besides Space Marine or Dawn of War the games lean a little more towards the niche end of the spectrum, but that's not a bad thing because it means they also cover a lot of different genres and different aspects of the setting.
Edit: Also, if you ever want to see a more comedic fanwork in the setting, If The Emperor Had A Text-To-Speech Device is worth keeping in mind, though it's sadly on indefinite hiatus because Games Workshop got weird about fanworks for a bit there.
Everyone in comments saying "Astartes" STOP IT! Yes it looks pretty, but if he wants something that takes him through a story... NOTHING compares to Helsreach!
Thank me later.
The joke about the "20 no 18 primarchs" is due to the fact that there were indeed 20 at the beginning, but 2 of them did something so unforgivable, that they were both purged with their legion, any knowledge about those 2 was erased from the books and any memories of what they've done were psychickly blocked by order of the Emperor.
The only people who still remembered were the Emperor and Malcador (the Emperor oldest and most trusted advisor, who heroïcly died during the Horus Heresy)
If you like the sound of the Inquisition, read Dan Abnett's Eisenhorn trilogy. One of my favourite book series ever. Follows the adventures of a bad ass inquisitor and his band of imperial agents. I believe they are in talks to make this into a tv series!
Other cinematics not mentioned as I've seen:
Death Korps of Krieg SODAZ Reupload
Dawn of War 1 Intro Cinematic
Dawn of War Soulstorm Intro Cinematic
Also, the best fan-made series is "If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device" by Alfabusa, but that is a series best experienced by someone who knows a bit more about the setting first.
A 50 minute long fan animation came out today. I havent watched it yet, but the comments are electric. Its getting comments from major 40k RUclipsrs and there is voice acting by Baldermort, who is an amazing 40k RUclipsr with an iconic voice so its gotta be good. First few minutes look great. Channel name is Gabriel Chrisstiane
To clarify on Space Marine Legions.
The Emperor and Erda (their genetic mother) created 20 Primarchs. These served as generic templates for 20 Space Marine Legions.
Sometime before the Horus Heresy, something happened and 2 Primarchs and their legions were expunged from the records. Remnants of their legions were integrated into at least the Ultramarines and Imperial Fists, and the Emperor erased the knowledge of the reason from the minds of the Primarchs.
During the Horus Heresy, 9 of the remaining legions turned on the Emperor in a civil war. After their defeat, they fled, breaking into hundreds of various warbands.
In order to prevent the consolidation of the military might of an entire Space Marine Legion again, Robutte Gulliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines, reorganized the Imperiums military, splitting the Loyalist Legions into independent Chapters to decentralised them. So the 9 Loyalist Legions became hundreds of Space Marine Chapters, though they could each trace their geneseed back to a Primarch (providing someone kept the paperwork).
The Grey Knights are ALSO traced to Primarchs, but not a single one. They were founded by the Emperor's oldest companion, Malcador the Sigilite, towards the end of the Horus Heresy. Their initial number was composed of psykers drawn from all loyalist forces, including loyalist survivors from the traitor legions. So their geneseed is a blend drawn from every one of the Legions.
Two of the primarchs did something so unforgiving (we don’t know what) that the Emperor made a “damnatio memoriae” on them and eliminated EVERYTHING that regarded them.
They banged? 🤭
Sorry, sorry... I know...
To clarify the difference between geneseed, legion and chapter:
The Space Marines were originally divided into 20 legions, one per Primarch, with each legion using their Primarch as the genetic template for their 'upgrade' from baseline human to Astartes super-human (another term for Space Marines is Adeptus Astartes or just Astartes). After the Horus Heresy, the legions were split into chapters, a smaller division intended to ensure that no single commander (like the Warmaster Horus) exercised control over so many Astartes again. The original legions therefore each became.multiple chapters. The Ultramarines, under Primarch Roboute Gulliman, were the largest after the heresy, and so more chapters have Ultramarine geneseed than any other. The new chapters were given their own recruitment worlds and over time developed their own customs and cultures, in some cases forgetting who their progenitor Primarch even was. Their were also many successive 'foundings' of chapters, where successors to the original legions would doneate geneseed to enable the creation of new chapters. In the modern timeline, with the creation of Primaris Marines, the mechanicum scientist behind the Primaris project, Bellisarius Cawl, had access to ALL the Primarch geneseed. That includes the traitor Primarchs and possibly even the lost two. Roboute Gulliman (Ultramarines Primarch), who is now essentially running the Imperium, told him not to use them but it is heavily implied that he didnt listen. Cawl even has a prototype Primaris marine of incredible power, and speculatuon is he spliced the geneseed of several Primarchs together to create him.
Hey man, I just wanna tell you that I specifically don't mind you pausing the Video in order to actually understand them. Like you've said it yourself you do that to not just be staring at a video, and that's something that I and others can appreciate.
Just note: Space Marine 2 is set sometime after 41,000. The year 40,000 was when the franchise started in the 1980s, obviously the story progressed a bit 40ish years.
I just found your channel and love seeing so many new people introduced to 40K. Hope to see more Space Marine 2 content!
There are 20 original Space Marine Legions, though we only know about 18 of them, and each has a Primarch. The Space Marines are super soldiers because of the implantation of a gene seed based on the dna of their Primarch. Ever since the Horus Heresy the loyalist Legions, the half that stayed loyal to the Emperor, were broken up into smaller Chapters which each have their own names and colors. They still have the same gene-seed of their original Primarch but operate independently. For example, the Imperial Fists were the legion of Primarch Rogal Dorn. After the legion was broken up there’s still an Imperial Fists chapter, but other sons of Dorn formed a chapter called the Black Templars, others formed the Crimson Fists, and after 10,000 years since the Horus Heresy there’s a lot of others. But none of them are as large as the original Legion, the chapters number in the low thousands usually whereas the legions numbered in the high tens to hundreds of thousands.
38:27 Just to clear up confusion. Officially, the Cult Mechanicus maintains that the Emperor is the physical manifestation of the Machine God (the Omnissiah) and part of a trinity that also includes the Machine God and the Motive Force, the deity that gives all life and motion its continued existence.
The reason why they are overlooked is because they technically are still believing in the same thing as humanity.
