    For those wondering what the intro is a reference to, it's Astartes Part 2 (where the space marines are still flying towards the rebel ship) but from the perspective of the rebel ship.

    • @TonyFireDragon

      I would take it one step further. This is the baseline for any media wanted to be taken serious today. If hollywood has untold billions of dollars, years of infurstructure to work with, millions of employees ranging from writing guilds to support in technology and yet produce slop, they will keep losing to talent who make animations like astartes made by one man, in a cave, with a box of scraps! I am more than happy to watch astartes on repeat than any of the new media, with exception of the 40k secert levels episode which is an extension of astartes anyway and the most worth while episode in my opinion.

    I was into Warhammer 40k before Astartes, but it just made me delve deeper and deeper into the lore. The passion that the creator of Astartes had for the universe inspired me, and even got me to start reading the novels. Ironically, the Horus Heresy novels re-ignited my love for reading that I'd lost.

Astartes finally puts the nail on how the Space Marines fight, how scary they are, the power of their weapons, their armor and speed. Hell, even the Plasma pistol became the way I imagined the weapon working in all media.

    one of my favourite stories is called 'The Last Angel' by Proximal flame
    one of the main characters is red one, an AI, her main enemy is a massive alien empire called the Compact, red one gets into loads of space battles against them, and theyre always tense battles
    because the Compact do everything right, theyre smart, they try to predict and outsmart their enemy
    but red one always has a trick up her sleeve, she too does everything right
    but sometimes, your luck turns to shit and things go wrong
    and thats why i love that story, its always a good read
    and the best part, you can read it online for free, i highly recommend it!

    This was also, interestingly, my introduction to 40K, and I thought this was the standard form of Astartes, akin to Spartans or Clones. Boy, I was blown away for months as I obsorbed the lore and story and absurdity of this universe... but Astartes remains the peak of it all.

    I was already famailar with Warhammer, but I was interested in the animation itself. The level of detail the cinematography is astounding. On the "god's don't bleed," you can see that The Astartes were well aware that they were dealing with a much more dangerous enemy, hence them setting up for a ambush and that they are not invincible despite them being augmented soldiers. When he was "caught," that Astertes was trying to drive a knife into that cult leader since his blade was shuddering, they will not give up that easy. I was looking forward to more of his work.

    7:50 will note here that that scene in particular was Artistic License as that weapon is quite capable of killing a Space Marine. That aside Astartes is the Gold Standard. It took "And They Shall Know No Fear" to give us something on the same level, and Astartes' influence is all over it (literally, Pedersen was one of the Layout Artists).

    I'll just add one of those details that some watchers miss. The Retributor ship has already captured at least two rebel demons. They clearly have one and it is held, probably using its link with the other ship's orb to get nearer and launch the assault. However, in the background is a dead orb in chains. You can imagine whatever you want as to why it is dead...

    Btw this is such an awesome breakdown of why the Astartes series is so compelling, I intuitively grasped all the things you mentioned but hadn't analysed it like that. really cool video! c:
    There are sooo many other things I HAVE thought about and analysed though, as you said there are SO many details to get into. Pederson really is a genius IMO, I hope they're treating him well in the GW sweatshop he's locked up in lmfao.
    Also little footnote: Pederson's faithfulness to the setting is also incredibly admirable considering how many other elements he must have been grappling with, but I think that was one of his main priorities so mad respect. So happy the retributors were added as a skin in Space Marine 2!

    I had been aware of 40K for decades. But those squat looking minis didn't appeal to me enough to make me want to look into it any further. The final Astartes episode threw me down the rabbit hole. I watched Leutin's "WTF is Warhammer 40K". Then I learned the Primaris minis were a thing and more anatomically correct. I'm big into the painting and lore side of the hobby. I've listened to the entire Horus Heresy on Audible as well as other titles like Eisenhorn, Gaunt's Ghosts, Ciaphas Cain etc and I haven't looked back since. Loving it.

And just one dude made it? Impressive. Everything was perfect in it. The fact not a single word was spoken - except what the chaos thingie is saying - made it even greater. And - finally - a cinematic where the Astartes are portrayed as having speed and agility, not just shown as big and bulky, slow-moving juggernauts. I heard Syama works more and more with GW and even helped in making the Warhammer episode, for Amazon - and you can tell. I shall watch his career with great interest.

    "The soldiers did everything right, and *still* lost."
    That reminds me of the Star Wars Visions episode, The Duel. Jedi and Sith are a known quantity, and you hear people recognize them and yell things like "Don't let her close the distance!" and "Surround her!" They're not stupid, they know how to fight a psychic space wizard with a laser sword.
    And they lose anyway. Because tactics and strategy can only do so much against a psychic wizard with a laser sword who can also toss people around with her mind. I feel like many people don't understand this about trained Force-wielders (which also applies to Space Marines, IRL tanks, etc.) - yes, there are ways to beat them, no system is invincible. But you need specialized tactics to beat them, whereas they don't need fancy tactics to beat you. And there's nothing stopping them from reading your book and defending against their counters.

    The thing with Astartes is that it doesn't hold back, the original creator took a gamble of not only committing his full time effort to creating it but using copy righted music to enhance the experience. Additionally, it doesn't feel constrained like a lot of Warhammer's official animations, they don't feel forced to be something it wasn't planned to be, it doesn't feel like a story that got compressed to be underwhelming and shortly handled. The reason why both it and Helsreach have higher user reviews on the likes of IMDB than Warhammer +'s official works is because that passion wasn't constrained, it was allowed to breath by its creators and directors and tell a story comfortably with clear cinematic direction that does what I feel the likes of Mechanicus and Rogue Trader did best, respect the interest of existing fans, respect the curiosity of those who are new to it to entice them whilst wondering why the fans are pretty much having the time of their life over watching it.

    This Mini Series pushed me in the Hobby. I wanted to know who was fighting, why are they fighting… at First an analysation of astartes than a lore Video than another and another and another… a week later i visited a gw. She sold me a couple paints and gifted me marine this was 2-3 monthes before 9th. Today i have 5k pts marines same if not more csm (thanks ADB (ave dominus nox)), two knights + 6-8 wardogs, a cp of tau, some admech, audiobooks for weeks to listen and now my coworkers talked me into aos 4th. And the start was this 5 Little Videos. Funny Note i played maybe 3-4 times but its the lore and hobbying that floats my boat :)

    Secret Level WH40K (which I absolutely liked) won't exist without this. This is the "almost perfect" template - the bar set that will judge any WH40K action sequences and stories to be produced next.

    "Astartes" video and "Children of the Omnissiah" from the Mechanicus soundtrack are the very best things that are related to wh40k! Black Templars are distant third! :)
    Btw, find really, really good headset to listen to it, at least once! It is something else!

    Yup. I had passing interest back in the day when dawn of war ii came out and then ignored it for years. When I stumbled upon Astartes (very late) I spent weeks and months watching nothing but 40k videos and now I have almost 800 hours in Space Marine 2

      I think they made it out just fine. I'm pretty sure only 5 space marines boarded the ship and all 5 can be seen after the fight is over

      You see them rejoin the rest of the squad after the two who took down the psykers sheath their knives and the camera switches to an overhead view as they walk towards the vault door.

    The biggest problem with Astartes is the you end up *yearning* for more warhammer that's even a fraction as good as it. And that didn't happen until Secret Level, and even then I'd say it was only 80% as good.

  • @gustavosampaio5859
    @gustavosampaio5859 День назад

    Honestly I think the "Astartes" animation was better than the Secret Level episode, but I didn't have any expectetion, and the Secret Level I though would work Titus Story more, they just said "Titus was already badass when he was a kid".

  • @iainballas

    Astartes... I loved the animation. I get why the creator ended up selling out to Games Workshop. But that was kinda the start of a crackdown that ended up catching "If the Emperor had a Text to Speech Device" in the crossfire. Alfabusa's show got me into 40k, and seeing it get shut down killed a lot of my interest and got me into other tabletops instead. I think GW seems to be easing off, and I hope to see more fan animations in the future, but by the emperor did they give the fanbase the finger.

    • @lorenzobaglioni9647
      @lorenzobaglioni9647 День назад +3

      "Selling out" is pretty disrespectfull, he found a job, manny of the people that gw absorbed have worked on shows like periah and secret level. Not on board with them getting rid of creators, it was scummy all the same, but i'm glad we are seing some real high grade stuff coming out like secret level, I hope it is the standard and not the exeption

    • @Feroce

      The crazy thing is that Alfabusa didn't even receive any kind of notices from GW. He just got spooked and ended the project.

    You would have a lot more Fan animations like Astartes, but Games Workshop threatened to sue any fans who made unauthorized 40K fan animations.
    I have never seen such a horrible reaction from a company to its fans who love the work. Threatening to sue and legal action for fan animations is so awful.

    The one thing I don't get with Astartes though, what was that glass shattering when they first walk into the vault? I just took it as a foreshadowing, but maybe it had some other meaning?

    • @sodden779
      @sodden779 День назад

      I thought it was just ice/frost on the floor cracking. Either the room was freezing to keep the orb stable or some minor effect of the warp encroaching on realspace.

      Warp frost, a common occurrence in areas where the veil is thin or warp fuckery is underfoot.
