Maybe time-line. I am new with learning the game and the world and I don't understand the different wars and the civil war ect.. maybe start at the very beginning. How they came about. And everything that happened until now.
You made 2 mistakes Judiciars are chaplains in training trying to prove worthy of the title of Chaplin. And primarch is actually a rank as the thunder warriors leader was called a primarch and this is before the emperor made the space primarchs.
Salamanders and Space Wolves are one of the very few who allow, even encourage their ranks to return to their homeworld and visit their families, or descendants
Believe me, most space marines are socially stupid and they can't behave normal, in one instance when few space marines had to attend a banquet they had nothing to talk so one of them started to count the tiles in the roof, Marines like Space Wolves, Salamanders are socially functional while others like blood angels and Ultramarines are just socially awkward
6:06 Sorry but for Blood angels yellow helmets are used for fast attack squads such as assault squads, biker squads' speeders etc. The rank of a sergeant is shown with black shoulder pads👍
I was just about to comment that haha. You beat me to it. If anyone else is curious, note that Gold helmets in the Blood Angels denote Veterans, blue helmets for heavy weapons.
I can't even describe how refreshing it is to click on a video from a channel I haven't seen before and immediately hear a voice that I can be sure is not AI.
Girlyman should update his codex so that chapters can have more marines, cause so many chapters get wiped in all these different ork or tyranid wars that its just necessary to allow them more recruitment, or you just have to establish new chapters again and again, which is kind of counterproductive
Bobby already said codex astartes was not intended to be a bible, that is should have been updates as the times needed, and it was a guideline not a rigid book of absolute law.
The limit of a thousand isn’t technically a hard limit as Chapters can and often do exceed that limit when recruitment swells. The limit is more of a general concept, because the Codex was made in wake of the Horus Heresy- where one man had too much control over the Marines. The point of the Chapter system is to insure no one individual has too many followers. It’s why Guilliman also split the Imperial Army into the Guard and Navy at the time- to insure no one has too much power. However nowadays it’s accepted and enforced by Guilliman that a Chapter can exceed the thousand man limit because of how messed up the Era Indomitus is, so long as they don’t go about Legion building.
Just a note for anyone wondering why Grey Knight Neophytes don't see battle until they've completed their augmentation and training: Every Grey Knight is a Psyker and EXTRAORDINARILY valuable even by Space Marine standards. Sending an undertrained and unprepared Psyker into battle before they're ready is not only a danger to themselves, but to the entire company. The Grey Knights specialize in taking on manifested Daemon hordes and if a Psyker is not ready, they can fall under Daemonic possession and that's a horrific prospect for anyone on the entire planet.
I understand why a chapter wouldn't want to lose a marine so carelessly, but if they're trained to defeat demonic presences, how is it scary? A Grey knight that gets possessed is immediately surrounded and very likely outnumbered several times over by daemon killers, it would just lose then and there wouldn't it?
@@Madibes It's not just the possession that's a factor. Extraordinarily powerful Psykers become a huge conduit for a full blown Demonic incursion. They could become possessed and immediately open a tear in reality to manifest a Daemon army. If a greater Daemon like a Great Unclean One were to possess the Psyker on a planet, you'd have a full blown Nurglite invasion on your hands.
@Diba_Brock there's also the fact that trough psyker deamons can manifest... And probably with how much gray knights create presence in warp, there's good likelihood of summoning greater deamons. Sure, they will take it down, but causalities would pile...
One thing you should have done was explain where they stand in relationship to the guards-men. Oddly enough, a regular new space marine battle brother outranks astra militarum sargents.
Generally, Space Marines abide by their own command structure for most operations. Of course a guard General commanding some large scale system or sector campaign will rank over Space Marines elements that are involved or an Inquisitor could command elements of Space Marines.
@@dimadobrik4516 it had happened and is usually a inquisitor or a commander with enough balls to take on whatever the galaxy throws at them, Comissar Yarrick for example was able to get the attention of several high ranking space marines because the dude is just a boss
Love your channel man, as a new space marine player I'd really love to see a lore coverage of the different types of space marines, especially chapter specific ones
5:57 I once read/heard that the red helm or other distinct colored headwear separate from the rest of their chapter colour had originated from a space marine sergeant that suggested there wouldn’t be any better training then fighting or sparing with other space marines, the sergeant that asked to organise this was ridiculed for suggesting so and thus was shunned by the higher-ups with a red helm for this indiscretion, later came the Horus heresy, none other than the same marine sergeant had been brung back to the limelight and now the red helm signifies the skill, outward thinking and initiative that battle-brothers share with their rank predecessor
Just began learning about warhammer, only because of the female custodes controversy. But I have to admit it's some pretty cool shit. No wonder it's been around for decades.
It was wonderful, one of the best sci-fi ever created. Until the parasitic hands of Blackrocks and other parasitic entities alike touched it with their unclean hands.
Luckily Warhammer has a bit too much autism and testosterone for its community to bend to that junk as many other IP's have. Not to mention saying "Battle Siblings" or whatever they try to replace the power of "Battle Brothers" with ruins it.
Besides the Marines themselves, there are also Chapter Serfs that, while in theory they do not count towards the overall fighting strength, also play a crucial support role for the Chapter. Chapter Serfs are drawn from failed aspirants or from the populace of the Chapter's homeworld, so if you are able bodied and don't mind being surrounded by 9 feet tall superhumans who can quite literally snap you in half if you looked at them funny, the fortress monastery should feel right at home for you. Even among Chapter Serfs, there are also assigned roles to denote their primary occupations. For instance, Artificiers assist Techmarines in the armory with maintaining the Chapter's wargear, Medicae assist Apothecaries, Refectorium work in kitchens (cause even Space Marines enjoy a good meal now and then), and so on. As mentioned, although they do not technically count to the Chapter's fighting strength, Armsmen onboard Space Marine vessels are also drawn from Chapter Serfs, and while they lack the genetic enhancements of a Battle Brother, they are still capable of defending their ships from boarding parties.
I want to point out a correction that chapter masters were an existing rank in 30k. The legions had several chapter masters due to the sheer size of the legions
What about a video about the Orks and what makes them formidable? I’m new to 40k stuff, and so far the Orks seem pretty funny. Though the only 2 things I know about them is they get bigger with age and that purple is a sneaky color.
Purple sneaky. Red fast. Yellow goes boom. Biggest ork best ork, biggest choppa best choppa, guns need as much dakka as possible to be best gun. Congratulations, you are now well versed in Ork culture.
Yellow is da richest color, blue is da luckiest color, red is da fastest color, purple is da sneakiest color. The #1 thing to know about Orks is that if they believe, it’s real. There’s a theory that the whole reason the 40K universe is at war is because the Orks believe everyone is continually fighting
I find it weird the chaplains (aka priests) have the coolest and most metal (well, bone buy YKWIM) helmets. Those skull helms with the red eyes and extra bits look sick AF!
6:04 Blood angles don't use yellow helmets for Sergeants, but for close assault. Hence the picture of a close assault with a yellow helmet. Their helmets all identify their battlefield role, since their right shoulder (which would usually have their role in other chapters) is instead used for their company, with their shoulder trims just remaining red instead of being used to distinguish companies. Sergeants have blacked out shoulders with gold company + chapter iconography, with just the drop being a sergeant while the full chapter icon being a veteran sergeant. Chapters have different heraldry rules, even those that are generally codex compliant with have differences in their heraldry, though nearly all chapters haven't had their heraldry rules written out. GW Writers can't even decide on a color scheme for the Charcharadons. This can all be found by looking up codex screenshots or looking in the codex themselves for the heraldry page.
I would love to hear the exploits of particular Companies within a Chapter; such as a Chapter’s 10th Company. What exploits do the young Scouts have under their belts? Also, I feel like Astartes “Ranks” can be divided as such: Primarch (if available) - the Gene-Father, the overall commander of Marines using his GeneSeed, and the one who solidifies war doctrine and codifies standard tactics. Master of the Chapter - the commander of a specific Chapter, either directing the Chapter in accordance with his Primarch’s will, or acting autonomously if his Primarch is unavailable/dead. Master of the (support group) - the leaders of the various support groups within a Chapter; Apothecary, Librarius, Armory, Chaplains, Fleet, whatever. Captain - the leader of a Company. Lieutenant - the assistant(s) of a Captain. Sergeant - the leader of an individual squad. Battle Brother - the rank and file, moreso sub-divided by age and the Company he serves in than any other ranks. Neophyte - the newbies of the 10th Company.
It hasn't been fully explained but some chapters apparently (like the mentors) have the rank of Lt. Commander. This seems to the rank of an aid to the chapter master, such as a lieutenant being the aid of a captain. The Mentor legionary in Spears of the Emperor was this rank.
0:50 - The very best of what humanity has to offer; I didn't realize Spartanesque Psycho children were the best we have to offer! Actually I take that back, can you imagine them trying to find aspirants in the current day with the current generation of kids; well no TBF they might make it in to the II and XI legions/chapters! Scrap that, the Mars forge world would have an absolutely massive influx of servitors; they're never separated from devices, the mechanicum would hook them up!! :D
far as i understand, a Primarch isn't a rank that can be inherited or attained, simply because the Primarchs are specific individuals, not just random highly accomplished soldiers. they are all the sons of the God-Emperor, and all unique and irreplacable.
So if I'm getting this right.. You start as an Aspirant, and if you have psychic potential, you get trained to become a Librarian. If you survive, you become a Battle Brother in a company, if you are better than your brothers at combat and leading, you become a Sergeant. If you wanna be specialized, then you can become a Apothecary, a Techmarine and a Chaplain. Then some unassigned ranks like Veterans, even Veterans get their own Sergeants, and the top ranks are Lieutenants and Captains, controlling the entire company. Of course, the real top rank is Chapter Master. That is so much more simpler than the Guard to be honest, but i guess it fits, only the best of the best become Space Marines, and the standards increase with it. If you're a guardsman, even if you're a top ranker, one shot and you're dead, you're squad's morale has broken and they've scattered to the wind. But not the eSpesh Marhens, not the boys in blue, or red, or jet black, or green, or white, snow gray, or dark green.
Two things. 1. Thanks for stating that LT is an old Legion rank that was brought back. everyone seems to forget that it's not a new rank. 2. Blood claws are not neophytes. They are squads(packs) of full battle brothers that will stay together till they all die.
In real life military or police spec ops combat fireteams, there is no such thing as a captain leading a "squad," except for very drastic and emergency situational occurrences or in most cases a squad of high tier clandestine operators (1st and 2nd Coy in WH40k value). Meanwhile in WH40k Captains occasionally go land fall with squads belonging to 3rd to 8th Company space marines. Which in military hindsight is highly unlikely. And a movie I saw titled Ultra Marines a Captain and an apothecary made landfall with an obvious squad from 9th Company.
hi wanted to note something, judiciers may act as executioners but they are chaplins in training, tasked with silently fallowing a chaplain and learning from them. they do have the executioner relic blade and ran meele but their duty is mostly learning, the arent necesserly veteren as when you join the ranks of the reclusium all honors past are wiped, for you are born a new and given tasks most holy
There are about a thousand chapters among the Adeptus Astartes all with their own command structure. I'm just curious how this video's noble feat will be accomplished in just a 19 minute long video? 😉
So could i start a successor chapter based around a child raised by the lion in his mediations and wounded after proving himself in tests with the lion through years of training, he then crossed the rubicon to later become a succesor chapter master? I dont have to originate my chapter from a homeworld? And have them recruit from only the mediations of the lion? Linking all of them in a way to the ethereal caliban forests
I am pretty new to the lore and have a question with regard to the Primarch thing: But would the Primarchs not fall back into their role of leading their respective legion now that GW is waking them up or finding them one by one? I mean sure right now Guilliman leads all Space Marines, but with the Lion returning and I assume Rogal Dorne or Lehman Russ being next (I really hope it isn't Russ) I doubt they will just let Robute keep authority. I could not think of any loyalist primarch that all the others would agree to hold a role that is essentially the role of warmaster, other then the angel Sanguinius. If I recall this was even an Idea before the Heresy and the loyalists tried to start an empire 2.0 with the Angel at its helm. So in short, the more primarchs come back the more defined their roles will be, or am I mistaken?
I’m in a British curriculum school but we call it Luh-tenant (correct way I believe) cuz we’re not exactly IN the UK so hearing Left-enant was VERY unusual to me
I watched a playthrough of Space Marine II and thought I was losing my mind. I'm American, and while the closed captions said "Lieutenant" I kept hearing "Lef-tenant." I seriously thought I was going crazy. Doesn't help that the guy doing the playthrough was English so there was 0 commentary on my imagined discrepancy. Thank you for clearing this up for me lol. 'Preciate you, fam!
Yes??? I mean I don't think it's really known beacause there are some really old marines Dante for instance is about 1300 years old (he's the chapter master of the blood angels THAT WASNT MENTIONED DESPITE BEING MORE POPULAR THAN THE ENTIRE BLOOD RAVENS CHAPTER, not annoyed at all) so kinda unknown but theoretically thousands of years. Don't take my word though.
@user-ic1gf8pg9m i honestly don't care about them. If you like them great! Their not my thing I have blood angels. But I think everyone's allowed to like whatever they want in 40k. Also correction on myself he's 1700.

far as i understand, a Primarch isn't a rank that can be inherited or attained, simply because the Primarchs are specific individuals, not just random highly accomplished soldiers. they are all the sons of the God-Emperor, and all unique and irreplacable.
So if I'm getting this right..
You start as an Aspirant, and if you have psychic potential, you get trained to become a Librarian.
If you survive, you become a Battle Brother in a company, if you are better than your brothers at combat and leading, you become a Sergeant.
If you wanna be specialized, then you can become a Apothecary, a Techmarine and a Chaplain.
Then some unassigned ranks like Veterans, even Veterans get their own Sergeants, and the top ranks are Lieutenants and Captains, controlling the entire company.
Of course, the real top rank is Chapter Master.
That is so much more simpler than the Guard to be honest, but i guess it fits, only the best of the best become Space Marines, and the standards increase with it.

hi wanted to note something, judiciers may act as executioners but they are chaplins in training, tasked with silently fallowing a chaplain and learning from them. they do have the executioner relic blade and ran meele but their duty is mostly learning, the arent necesserly veteren as when you join the ranks of the reclusium all honors past are wiped, for you are born a new and given tasks most holy
Love your videos
Thank you. This is structured exactly how I needed to hear it to understand wtf is going on.
So… basically these specialist ranks is kind of like a warrant officer but not exactly in the chain of command.
Is the half and half armored Astartes @ 7:15 official? What chapter is that?
It is official, and it's not really bound to a specific chapter. I believe it correlates to a rank (Sergeant maybe, i don't remember)
Doesnt the imperial fist when they do the iron wall protocol have a differing ranks when the legion reforges?
Hey what's that graphic novel called 2:30
the marneus calgar comic by marvel
Varro tigirius not Cato. Cato sicarrius is another character 👍🏼
Each Chapter has a Champion and also Scouts.
Can you do one for the chaos Marines next
Has there ever been a space marine that died of something non malicious (old age, cancer, something like that)?
The lore has said they live to 1,000 years old if they don’t die in battle

Excellent video
I need that astartes legions poster at the beginning of the vid
There are about a thousand chapters among the Adeptus Astartes all with their own command structure. I'm just curious how this video's noble feat will be accomplished in just a 19 minute long video? 😉
The only chapter that have familes are the Salamanders
Space Wolves too iirc
So could i start a successor chapter based around a child raised by the lion in his mediations and wounded after proving himself in tests with the lion through years of training, he then crossed the rubicon to later become a succesor chapter master? I dont have to originate my chapter from a homeworld? And have them recruit from only the mediations of the lion? Linking all of them in a way to the ethereal caliban forests
now do one for the ad mech
Can you do the ranks of the sisters next?
Its VARO Tigarius.....Cato SICARIUS is a captain...
Hi! im starting to get into warhammer can you tell me the name of the comic used in this video? the part explaining about the aspirants, thanks
It's the Marneus Calgar Comic it's a good comic
@@andrewzhu5394 The moment I got your reply I instantly searched it up and read it online and I have to say it really is worth a read!
Great video
I am pretty new to the lore and have a question with regard to the Primarch thing: But would the Primarchs not fall back into their role of leading their respective legion now that GW is waking them up or finding them one by one? I mean sure right now Guilliman leads all Space Marines, but with the Lion returning and I assume Rogal Dorne or Lehman Russ being next (I really hope it isn't Russ) I doubt they will just let Robute keep authority. I could not think of any loyalist primarch that all the others would agree to hold a role that is essentially the role of warmaster, other then the angel Sanguinius. If I recall this was even an Idea before the Heresy and the loyalists tried to start an empire 2.0 with the Angel at its helm.
So in short, the more primarchs come back the more defined their roles will be, or am I mistaken?
It's pronounced "left tennant" since gw is a British company
Yep. This gets my goat a little. We do say it wrong here in Britain though, so maybe I shouldn't care too much 😂
I’m in a British curriculum school but we call it Luh-tenant (correct way I believe) cuz we’re not exactly IN the UK so hearing Left-enant was VERY unusual to me
I watched a playthrough of Space Marine II and thought I was losing my mind. I'm American, and while the closed captions said "Lieutenant" I kept hearing "Lef-tenant." I seriously thought I was going crazy. Doesn't help that the guy doing the playthrough was English so there was 0 commentary on my imagined discrepancy.
Thank you for clearing this up for me lol. 'Preciate you, fam!
Bruh you forgot about legion masters who lead the legions before the primarchs were found
Great videos mate. Keep them coming. Any chance of a Necron dynasties video?
Where do dreadnoughts fit into this?
i was wondering how long does a space marine live like whats there life span?
Yes??? I mean I don't think it's really known beacause there are some really old marines Dante for instance is about 1300 years old (he's the chapter master of the blood angels THAT WASNT MENTIONED DESPITE BEING MORE POPULAR THAN THE ENTIRE BLOOD RAVENS CHAPTER, not annoyed at all) so kinda unknown but theoretically thousands of years. Don't take my word though.
@@Saturn_Studios16 you definitely don't dislike the utra marines right?
@user-ic1gf8pg9m i honestly don't care about them. If you like them great! Their not my thing I have blood angels. But I think everyone's allowed to like whatever they want in 40k. Also correction on myself he's 1700.
@@Saturn_Studios16 hes old call him grandpa dante
@user-ic1gf8pg9m are you perhaps a follower of a certain... "warp thing" that also is called grandpa? Please the inquisition would love to know.
Im not a warhammer player but I know that Techdudes are the most targeted in the world😂
Did bro say Mac rogg
Mate the ultramarines recruit from the ultramar empire macragge is the capital/home world
But how come the sergeant of the death watch kill team didnt have a different helmet from his teammates 😢
Is this the voice of yammi noob?!… hmmmmmmm
Hi where could I get the comics at ? can you send the link for them please !
There is an R in Librarians
Are the victrix guard also a rank?
for a minute there i thought u meant Cato Sicaruis was a psyker
He's just so blue and Roman that enemies think he's a psyker because of the fear he inflicts
Your last video left out the crimson fist I have the metal chapter master or the chapter leader or whatever
All this work, and it's still no match for my big choppa
10:30 *coughs* female Custodes *cough*
