Not all Sisters are mindless fanatics. Just like not every Commisar shots everyone on the head if they doubt a strategy or show fear. Not every Inquisitor wipes out whole cities just because someone utters something that can be seen as heresy.

@@axos3130 Your first point is the dumbest I have ever heard. There are women in the IG usually in women only regiments. How about you read the lore instead of relying on nomenclature to support your point?
Can we talk about how good that guardsmans voice acting was? The "whatever that thing is.. we can take it" displayed fear, but faith in himself, his allies, his cause, and the emperor, and determination and courage to continue the fight until the end, no matter what. That one line was very emotionally powerful.
Yeah bro there's no way a IG would talk to a sister in that manner without getting their shadow burned to a wall Hiroshima style. Let alone that heretical talk, would get scourge and purged for sure
For a more detailed explanation regarding the Pariah Nexus (or Warzone Nephilim) in the lore : Szarekh, the Silent King, got Illuminor Szeras, who originally created the forges used for the biotransferance, to work on a matrix capable of separating real and warp space. Using Pylons of Blackstone, the Necrons have expanded this matrix across several worlds in the Nephilim Sector, with the intent of expanding an area where the Warp cannot threaten the Necrons. Humans taken within the Pariah Nexus are separated from the warp and slowly fall into a form of degeneracy called "the Stilling". Basically, since their soul, which is in the Warp, is distanced from their body, they lose all forms of willpower and enter a vegetative state. As such, portions of the Indomitus Crusade have been redirected to the Nexus to stop its continued expansion. There is, seemingly, one counter to the Stilling: Faith. Faith can slow or even repel the effect of the Stilling and inspire a surge of life in people affected by the Nexus. As such, Sisters of Battle have proven to be the most effective Imperial force within the Nexus. So for anyone wondering, this is what all of this is about. And yes, it's a direct continuation of the 9th edition trailer story, so we COULD get a bloody animated Horus Heresy series...
Couldn't they get another Necron Overlord to do this though? Szarekh was shown to have some measure of truce with the imperium, meanwhile Imotekh has been missing for ages and I'd be glad to not see Ultramarines for once and have Black Templars chasing his ass instead.
That must be the most patient sister of battle I've ever seen, other wise that guardsmen would be in flames for even thinking about hesitating not to lay her life down for the emperor of mankind
The guard looks like a veteran, meanwhile the Sister looks like she just joined. The comment about "millions of lives being lost every second" by the guard shows she's been around in quite a few battles meanwhile the Sister seems unsure which typical of a new recruit.
It is kind of a tell that a lot of those who have comment on this video have never listened/read a single Sororita audio/book. Not every Sister is ready to jump down the throat of heresy. While Sister can be harsh then also tend to be super understanding that not everyone knows the Emperor the way they do and will be more patient when it comes to nipping heresy in the bud. Edit: I recommend read/listening to The Rose at War or Mark of Faith for wider range of different Sister personalities and varying degrees of wavering faith.
@@TheTealPrince Hey mate, apologies if this will sound weird, but i saw you comments across multiple 40k videos, and i just wanna say i'm in awe of your patience and dedication to explain to morons what the world of 40k is really like. I despise those who think Memehammer is canon, or worse, that take this universe actually serioulsy.
thank you, I know plenty of sisters who aren't all "heresy die" all the time. some have worked with xenos. they aren't all "die, for the emperor". hell, one of their saints worked alongside eldar to bring back a primarch. Their SAINT
This is absolutely correct and it ought to be fucking pinned. The Sororitas can have and will talk to and reassure people who are having questions and crises of faith. They don't expect everyone to have the same understanding of the divinity of the emperor that they have been privileged to have. 40k memelords stop Flanderizing the 40k setting challenge, difficulty impossible

I’m not sure if they are reluctant to do more shows like this since it might not get a lot of traction, but that’s what they get for releasing it on their own streaming platform. There’s no way you can justify to the average fan even to buy your service for a single show. On top of that it gets no exposure compared if you were to throw it on Netflix, Hulu, or even HBO or Amazon.
Yea gw we’re not in any position to go into the streaming wars there part of a completely different industry and there doing a really bad job in that department honestly they should have done what Disney did when they wanted to enter the streaming service game and partner up with one of the major streaming services at the time and see what there getting into and how thing worked before lunching Disney plus which unlike warhammer plus is actually worth subscribing too
@@grover7378 They weren't even intented to compete with other streaming services, hence most of the wh+ benefits are other content. They consider it as extra service for the most loyal Warhammer fans that wants more content per week, not something for casuals or newbies .
Adeptus Sororitas: Die for the Emperor matters. Female Cadian trooper: Live matters. Sister. Adeptus Sororitas. Quiet! Theres something out there. *Krieger staring from the distance with murderous intent* Krieger: What does the cadian said about not dying for the emperor?
I'd say I want to see the Infinite and the Divine adapted, but I'm not sure how they'd visualize some of the aspects and concepts. It'd be hilarious if they made it like a Saturday Morning Cartoon or something.
I used to daydream of Warhammer being where it is now. Photorealistic games, incredible films and more. And it seems we’ve only just begun. Exciting stuff!
For those of you who are frothing at the mouth over how the Sister and Guardswoman interact; one needs to take into account that the Sister clearly has a rational mind and she knows that killing the guardswoman will only diminish her own chances at survival. On another note, while the Fanaticism of the Adepta Sororitas is a well known thing, i think these days from our Player view, we have distorted it, much like everyone and their grandma seems to think Kriegers are 'suicidal bayonet charges while swinging shovels and making happy gasmask noises' or 'Blood Ravens are keptomaniacs in space who steal other chapters relics' - a Sisters faith/fanaticism doesnt give her leeway to randomly execute people for having a depressing outlook on their current situation. Besides, the interaction between the sister and guardswoman will only be taking place due to GW wanting to explain how grimdark the 40k universe is, despite us all knowing as much in the first place - would be a different matter if this was a show being aired on something like Netflix where non 40k'ers would need to be taught, but kind of a moot point when its relegated to WH+ imo
Spitting truth. If you read the novels, there's nothing out of the ordinary in this trailer. But if your only view into 40k is reddit memes, you'll probably be confused by it.
@@changer_of_ways_999 The original creator of Astartes has cut all ties with 40k after the community harrassed him for taking GW's offer to work for them, so he said "Fine fuck you all, I'm out" and now he's making Halo animations.
In the original Dawn of War: Dark Crusade they had a voiced necron. Fun fact in the OG necron lore from the first codex they couldn't talk but it later got retconned cause it was too difficult to make a character with no way of human communication.
I expect that the guardswomman is a traitor trying to break the sororitas's faith Edit: now looking closer I'm starting to think she's a hallucination. The fact that she's not carrying any weapon and just how casual she is with the Sororitas is rather suspicious
so i saw this comment on another video, yet here i will paste it for some who want to understand whats going on "For a more detailed explanation regarding the Pariah Nexus (or Warzone Nephilim) in the lore : Szarekh, the Silent King, got Illuminor Szeras, who originally created the forges used for the biotransferance, to work on a matrix capable of separating real and warp space.

NadieLe Mysto Thanks for posting this. It explains the guardsman's doubts that everyone is having, it explains why the Sister hasn't shot the guardsman over what they said. Everyone's faith is shaken due to soul separation. Upvoting because I want this front and center so more see it.
@Avaint TF blanks got inverted souls which gives them an aura that silence the warp around them. The stronger your connection to the warp, the worse your pain get when they get near you. And if you are a warp-based entity like demons, you just get fizzled out of existence The Imperium is currently the only faction to make wide use of them as the Sisters of Silence order and the Culexus assassin temple are entirely blanks, with the later being among one of the most terrifying assets in the Imperium
Much like everyone else, I'm really interested in how that Guardswoman stayed alive saying something like that to a Sister of the Order of Our Martyred Lady, considering the Order's cult of martyrdom that's unparalleled even amongst the other Sororitas Orders, and the (while I won't call it absolutely heretical, but still) contents of said words... ...then again, considering that this sister seems to be having a crisis of Faith given her words in the beginning of the Trailer, I wonder if there's something more subtle at play or if she's letting the Guardswoman vent so that she's more focused in the fight. It's interesting seeing a Sister be so vulnerable, but also very concerning (in universe and on a meta level, given the long line of disappointments from writers of various IPs, but I'll wait to see where this goes).
It's absolutely impossible for this not to happen at least one time in a 1000 years. Sisters are still human, i would expect Necron Worriors to be absolute mindless but even they glitch out from time to time
Sgt. Merrick and Lord General Castor from DoW 2 were not executed by Inquisitor Adrastia even though they’ve just witnessed tons of Chaos daemons and even the near ascension of Kyras into a daemon prince right in front of their eyes.
Damn I wish some of these were on a more mainstream subscription service I'd really like to dive into the lore of 40k but it seems so massive I'd definitely need to have some sort of visual medium just to keep up
I found "If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device" by Alfabusa a good starting point. The 40k Lore in a minute video is a great condensed overview too
You can get most of the lore via RUclips videos. If you want to absorb it chunk by chunk I’d suggest Majorkill. He does a good job making videos between 10 and 15 minutes discussing it aspect by aspect. As well as discussing some what ifs and fan theories about the universe. If you want some longer overviews I’d suggest Bricky.
That's why they need to make a series. Make something akin to star wars the clone wars series, start from before or the start of the horus heresy and make our way to 40k. The amount of lore, battles and characters they can use, create from and further expand is enormous. They could easily make like 8 seasons of it, that is if they don't use their streaming service, which they probably would.
@@403_Forbidden Hopefully the upcoming Henry Cavill series on Amazon shows GW that they’ll be way more successful on more mainstream services instead of expecting the Warhammer community to pay for a service that is nothing but Warhammer.
Kind of hyped for this, really, really hope it turns out good! But I’ll admit I kinda hoped the voices of the necron would be a little heavier and more menacing, think something like Sovereign in ME1, always felt like that would be perfect for necrons, but that’s just a personal nitpick. Still, that necron quote was great.
That isn't regal enough for the Necron. All of the ones that still have their minds and thus can speak were all leaders, nobles, and royalty. So it fits if they were less deep and menacing to me.
That Guardswoman is bold to speak potentially defeatist words to a Soroitas. Also, that Guardsman has the right attitude and God Damn, "Rectify the anomaly of their continued existence" is savage as Hell XD
Yo, this actually looks amazing! I'm really excited to see where this conversation between the Sister of Battle and the Guardsman goes! The Guardsman sounds like her faith is wavering?
@@alienlordgamin5339 It could be. But I've also heard people theorize about Necrons trying to control people and use biotransferance on human Blanks. The Sister of Battle is talking about dying for the Emperor. The Guardsman is arguing that life matters. Well, biotransferance would technically make you live forever... maybe the Guardsman is agent for the Necrons or a Necron-sympathizer?
Not every guardsman is a suicidal brainwashed walking gun. She’s arguing that it’s okay to still value yourself as a person. Sure in the grand scheme they won’t even be mentioned in history. But having value in your own life is worth something and it should mean the most to yourself. Also hearing it again, it’s probably practicality, the planet is basically done for, no reason for them to stay.
@@vineetapatel1703 I really hope I am wrong, but so far Warhammer plus has been short on delivery. Even the Tau show which was great were 3 episodes that were 15 minutes long

@@BohdanKaiba It needs more content. You may as well just buy one month, watch everything in a weekend, then resubscribe in 16 months to watch the handful of new things.
Pariah Nexus is a pretty ominous title especially to those who remember Necron Pariahs. Now add the scenes of the tortured Krieger during the prayer and the sus one at the end and the plot writes itself. Think about it Krieger uniforms are perfect for hijacking corpses. Krieger are already unsettling and their uniform would hide most tell tales of being under xeno influence and control. Add to that the how loyal they are considered and it makes perfect sense.
“There’s something out there” Lone kriegsman: The Emperors angels may not save you…. but his zerg will. *happy gas mask noises in the distance* What they hear: Hmmm mhmm hmm hmm mhum
Angels of Death, Exodite and all exist too. They're... okay. This one too will be okay. Official warhammer animation always has a certain uncanny valley feel to it. This one wont be any different.
Well when they stopped all fan animation, even taking people to court over it, then put all content behind their streaming service with crappy shows and too few shows... yeah you are going to find a huge lack of content.
This whole thing look quiet special, like see numbers of troops. Basically she must shoot necrons anyway so why destroy already small group? She got no choice than fire on xenos
@@silverbladeofnorth7345 true but still common logic isnt part of warhammer 40k which is why anyone specially an guard speak up agaisnt faith to the god emperor direclty to an sister makes it lunacy to any regular human in that period
GW is doing a lots of good things.... stop bitching. They still release good novels and miniatures from time to time and angels of death and exodite were both very solid shows. And actually last few hammer and bolter episodes were also pretty damn cool... trazyn one for sure.
they have to hire genndy tartakovsky to make a very good warhammer series, even if it is very short, the quality of animation and visual narrative is a classic as in clone wars
To everyone fussy about the guardsman mouthing off. If you follow the content you know where they are. Their souls are literally separated from their bodies in the Pariah Nexus. It causes lethargy and doubt in humans. It is perfectly canon and in line with the WH40k setting and area they are in. Even Sisters can have their faith shaken and it explains why she doesn't immediately dispatch the guardsman. Calm down about this and don't let this turn into another stale 40k meme please.
Necrons > Space bugs > everyone else in this. I'm not into this fiction/kid stuff too much, but honestly, the space mummies/necrons are the best faction. They shed their biological forms to unite and win a losing war and defeated 'everyone' and 'everything', then just decided to go to sleep and hibernate until evil possibly returned; and it did, but it now effects the other factions more. The reason I like them a lot more is the fact that while they don't have emotions, they don't need it. They only would 'attack humans' because humans get in their way, attack them first, or because the resources Necrons need to basically 'save everyone' are being kept from them. They're also being attacked by brainless humans, elves, orks, and others who may ally with them while vastly outnumbered 10x or 100x by others; for sake of fiction, Necrons never gain a foothold, because just 1 ship annihilates an entire fleet at times, and if they did, then Necrons would defeat everyone. Humanity are just generally too dumb, for the sake of fiction: it's like a Greek tragedy, they wage civil war against one another, and don't ever have peace; the ones who forge alliances and work properly usually get attacked by their own inquisitors and their own faction and make a civil war which hinders their progress to even expanding and uniting even against their common enemies. Necrons are united, and facing just 1 small damaged portion of them that 'awakens' again and vastly 'outnumbered', typically wipes out the entire other factions in an entire sector/space (however large it is). They did what Humanity does already to augment themselves with tech, and yet are many times more ancient and powerful, and know things humans can't even understand, even with all that technology and progress. They likely knew about the space bugs, but now they are just possibly way larger and may be the only 'faction' that could be tasked with defeating them completely, once they gain an actual foothold and awaken a full army; it'd be a tough fight but they'd likely win once they've awoken fully. All the enemies Humanity fails to overtake, including the space bugs, the evil things, etc. these were defeated already by the Necrons. They went into the rift and defeated evil that corrupts the other factions. Other factions just perpetually fights endlessly, Necrons get results, they haven't lost any war except the ancient one they nearly lost themselves. Necrons defeated every ancient faction, including ancient evil and gods from the rift, after being on the brink of being wiped out. They shed their biological self to become hybrids/enhanced by technology; similar to humans, but way more ancient/better. They know how to handle almost every case, but human minds are too weak and too stupid to cooperate. The way they're depicted here is just wrong, or even too weak. The only reason this faction (Necrons) would likely 'attack' humanity is because they realize they'ev been attacked and humanity will not let them have the few resources that they typically need , because once they have it , they can easily seal any rift, operate any technology, defeat any foe, etc.. They only view humans, and elves, similar to how humans view orks, they are brainless and very few of them can work toward a goal, where if they let the Necrons do it, they would have likely eternal peace as well as an ally to depend on. The only way humans are going to 'beat' a fully awoken Necron world is by sending like 10x the numbers and hoping that one of their best can get a lucky blow. Just sayin' the way they're depicted here will likely be wrong, you aren't going to 'beat' Necrons. The best way is to depict Humanity losing and then deal a lucky blow that deactivates or stops them temporarily before they actually wake up/grow too large, like destroying a planet where they are waking up.
Illuminor Szeras appears to be our antagonist for this one. The same Necron Cryptek known for extreme vivisection and experiments who literally just turns off his auditory sensors if his subject's screaming gets too annoying. Edit: He is also the mind behind the process of biotransference!
Absolutely no way would a random guard talk like that to a sister. One day there will be a Warhammer series run by someone who takes the lore seriously.
I'm hoping there is a good reason the SoB didn't torch her on the spot. Maybe they're trapped in some warp like dimension and working together to escape or something.
@@scottdixon2505 I'm literally painting some orks right now, I just think it's goofy when people try to pretend the setting where silly chav orks fight elf space wizards and nuns that drive cathedrals should be taken seriously. The integrity of fictional settings owned by multimillion companies barely matter in the first place, who gives a shit about the lore when what really matters I'd if the product is actually entertaining or not.
"Awaken primary functions from base protocols," "Obeiscance, Illuminor Szeras". "Engage the survivors. Rectify the anomaly of their continued existence". - I vote for the Necrons. I hope they win this one.
@GM Steelhaven oh right. The sister will clearly take no offense when someone that's not here subordinate, talks bad about the emperor. You are right and definitely know the setting. *this was sarcasm*
Two things First, The guardsman and sister having different views of the will of the imperium yet cooperating and not just being kill because heresy is really good for character and world building. Second, they absolutely nailed Iluminor szeras with look and voice.
It's also consistent with the lore. The people being mad about it in the comments exclusively consume 40k through reddit memes, and that's why they're confused.
I'll give this series, and its look and voice performances, a shot. I like the voice of the Necron leader - reminds me of the late voice acting icon, Tony Jay.
The people throwing a shitfit about the Guardswoman speaking harshly to a Sororitas and not being instantly murdered are the kind of people who learned their Warhammer lore exclusively from memes.
>Kill the heretics It's literally their job description. The guardsman making fun of the state religion is quite immersion breaking because miracles and angels are in fact very much real and observable, especially from an Adepta Sororitas point of view. This whole scene is just silly
@@Krachbumm-Ente Again: If you only get your lore from memes, that might seem like it tracks. But it doesn't. Sororitas are not brainless drones. They're human. The Imperial Guard Commissars are not brainless drones. They're human. Even the psycho-indoctrinated Space Marines are not brainless drones - they are human, despite their frequent protests to the contrary. Actually read the books that make up the lore, instead of the memes drawn from it, and you'd understand.
@@HellbirdIV What do you mean by "memes"? This is how they are literally described in both the core rules and the codex. Have you ever read any of it? When they enter a fight they will throw drop churches on their enemies, burn everthing down to the ground, cleanse what ever remains with holy water and march onto the battlefield singing chanties while church music is being played from the battleships in orbit
@@Krachbumm-Ente ... no, that's not how they're described in the books. That's how they're described in memes. They do not "drop churches on their enemies". That's straight-up the meme version of it. In lore, they have *dropships* that *resemble* churches because that's the SoB aesthetic. Further, none of that is relevant to the point: Sisters of Battle are not mindless drones. They are humans. They are people. They act and behave like people. The fact that they chant hymnals ("chanties" is not a word) and prayers when going into battle does not, in fact, change that they aren't just walking cartoons. That's just what memes teach people. Again: Instead of reading memes and out-of-context blurbs, read the *books.*
I have two thoughts. 1) This would make an amazing game if they focused on the guard and the sisters/astartes were things you saw on the sides doing their thing but the character you played stayed a guardsman. 2) They better not wuss out and actually show us what the books showed us...that both ork and necron show not just fear, but absolute hopelessness when an Imperial Crusade armada moves into a system. There was no moment quite like that when they showed us ork fleeing and necrons looking at the sky and actually speaking about just how fucked they were. It took a book about Necrons to show us just how bloody SCARY the Imperium is when it goes on crusade.
Well, it depends on the dynasty. The Twice-Dead King was hopeless because the Flayer Curse had already wrecked their entire army and the former leader had let the infrastructure deteriorate to the point they couldnt fight back. That being said, the Flayed Ones completely eviscerated an entire Dreadnought once they were let out of their cage. I have no comments on orks, though.
The Eldar is by far my favourite race. The Necrons are perfect antagonists. Only the tyranids are equally terrifying. Chaos and Dark Eldar are ok, the orks are too cartoonist for my liking. Eldar with reluctant support from the Empire vs. Necron would be nice. A collaboration of some Parties in 40k would be a good change for the Setting. Especially Dark Eldar and Necrons with their anti psyker attitude and the love for tormenting flesh could get well along.
All these comments about "A REAL SISTER OF BATTLE WOULD HAVE KILLED HER IMMEDIETLY" are really annoying. C'mon guys, they're obviously bonding past the point of "following the rules". Not every person in the imperium of man follows every rule to a T. Most don't actually lmao. And yes you could say it's a plot device, but that's how you make a plot interesting, WITH PLOT DEVICES AND NOT NORMAL THINGS HAPPENING.
I know. But most people's understanding of the lore is entirely confined to reddit memes. Most people here have likely never seen the cover of a 40k novel irl.
@@TheTealPrince yeah. sisters aren't as overly trigger happy as the memes. yet people can't seem to believe that. sisters are just people like us. very devout people, but they are intelligent and can make discussion with people without flying into a rage.
Ever since Necrons were reimagined as having "dynasties" and fancy titles they've been far more talkative and emotional. The writers changed them forever ago, unfortunately.
Despite the whole 'newcron' and necron of old, I like the lore of the necrontyr and dynasties, even the silent king is a great look into the entirety of the faction. Besides, if it wasn't for the 'newcrons', we wouldn't have Trazyn The Infinite

For a more detailed explanation regarding the Pariah Nexus (or Warzone Nephilim) in the lore :
Szarekh, the Silent King, got Illuminor Szeras, who originally created the forges used for the biotransferance, to work on a matrix capable of separating real and warp space. Using Pylons of Blackstone, the Necrons have expanded this matrix across several worlds in the Nephilim Sector, with the intent of expanding an area where the Warp cannot threaten the Necrons.
Humans taken within the Pariah Nexus are separated from the warp and slowly fall into a form of degeneracy called "the Stilling". Basically, since their soul, which is in the Warp, is distanced from their body, they lose all forms of willpower and enter a vegetative state. As such, portions of the Indomitus Crusade have been redirected to the Nexus to stop its continued expansion.
There is, seemingly, one counter to the Stilling: Faith. Faith can slow or even repel the effect of the Stilling and inspire a surge of life in people affected by the Nexus. As such, Sisters of Battle have proven to be the most effective Imperial force within the Nexus.
So for anyone wondering, this is what all of this is about.
And yes, it's a direct continuation of the 9th edition trailer story, so we COULD get a bloody animated Horus Heresy series...
@Darth Sidious thank you for this comment it helps put the pieces together about what might be going on here!
Most useful comment here. Thanks brother.

Couldn't they get another Necron Overlord to do this though? Szarekh was shown to have some measure of truce with the imperium, meanwhile Imotekh has been missing for ages and I'd be glad to not see Ultramarines for once and have Black Templars chasing his ass instead.

Bro! 10 minutes, really? 8 minutes I think.
It is kind of a tell that a lot of those who have comment on this video have never listened/read a single Sororita audio/book. Not every Sister is ready to jump down the throat of heresy. While Sister can be harsh then also tend to be super understanding that not everyone knows the Emperor the way they do and will be more patient when it comes to nipping heresy in the bud.
Edit: I recommend read/listening to The Rose at War or Mark of Faith for wider range of different Sister personalities and varying degrees of wavering faith.

You cant necessarily blame them. The 40k fandom has been regurgitating the same tired jokes for the past few decades
This is absolutely correct and it ought to be fucking pinned. The Sororitas can have and will talk to and reassure people who are having questions and crises of faith. They don't expect everyone to have the same understanding of the divinity of the emperor that they have been privileged to have.

I’m not sure if they are reluctant to do more shows like this since it might not get a lot of traction, but that’s what they get for releasing it on their own streaming platform. There’s no way you can justify to the average fan even to buy your service for a single show. On top of that it gets no exposure compared if you were to throw it on Netflix, Hulu, or even HBO or Amazon.

I used to daydream of Warhammer being where it is now. Photorealistic games, incredible films and more. And it seems we’ve only just begun. Exciting stuff!
For those of you who are frothing at the mouth over how the Sister and Guardswoman interact; one needs to take into account that the Sister clearly has a rational mind and she knows that killing the guardswoman will only diminish her own chances at survival.
On another note, while the Fanaticism of the Adepta Sororitas is a well known thing, i think these days from our Player view, we have distorted it, much like everyone and their grandma seems to think Kriegers are 'suicidal bayonet charges while swinging shovels and making happy gasmask noises' or 'Blood Ravens are keptomaniacs in space who steal other chapters relics' - a Sisters faith/fanaticism doesnt give her leeway to randomly execute people for having a depressing outlook on their current situation.
Besides, the interaction between the sister and guardswoman will only be taking place due to GW wanting to explain how grimdark the 40k universe is, despite us all knowing as much in the first place - would be a different matter if this was a show being aired on something like Netflix where non 40k'ers would need to be taught, but kind of a moot point when its relegated to WH+ imo

ive been a necron fan since i was 12 and this is the first time i heard the idea of necron voices sound like and holy shit they sound badass af
In the original Dawn of War: Dark Crusade they had a voiced necron.
Fun fact in the OG necron lore from the first codex they couldn't talk but it later got retconned cause it was too difficult to make a character with no way of human communication.
Personally I think the voice work in battlefleet gothic 2 was just perf for the necrons. Trazyn in particular is done just wonderfully
Suss the mechanicus game
Go look up the Necron cutscenes from Battlefleet gothic armada and the teaser they did for the Necrons in 9th
Look up Trazyn and Cawl, Trazyn has the best voice. The perfect "sardonically polite" tone.
I expect that the guardswomman is a traitor trying to break the sororitas's faith
Edit: now looking closer I'm starting to think she's a hallucination. The fact that she's not carrying any weapon and just how casual she is with the Sororitas is rather suspicious
Purge it in fire just to be sure, brother.
Maybe she's the sister before she became a sister
An Alpha legion spy you say...
Yeah, this was my first thought. In lore, any tiny decline in faith is punishable by death. No way the guard is a real person.

what's worse in this trailer is the implication of a pariah being used by Szeras
NadieLe Mysto Thanks for posting this. It explains the guardsman's doubts that everyone is having, it explains why the Sister hasn't shot the guardsman over what they said. Everyone's faith is shaken due to soul separation. Upvoting because I want this front and center so more see it.
Thanks for that!
Updooted for background lore. Doing The Emperor's work!
@Avaint TF blanks got inverted souls which gives them an aura that silence the warp around them. The stronger your connection to the warp, the worse your pain get when they get near you. And if you are a warp-based entity like demons, you just get fizzled out of existence
The Imperium is currently the only faction to make wide use of them as the Sisters of Silence order and the Culexus assassin temple are entirely blanks, with the later being among one of the most terrifying assets in the Imperium
Much like everyone else, I'm really interested in how that Guardswoman stayed alive saying something like that to a Sister of the Order of Our Martyred Lady, considering the Order's cult of martyrdom that's unparalleled even amongst the other Sororitas Orders, and the (while I won't call it absolutely heretical, but still) contents of said words...
...then again, considering that this sister seems to be having a crisis of Faith given her words in the beginning of the Trailer, I wonder if there's something more subtle at play or if she's letting the Guardswoman vent so that she's more focused in the fight.
It's interesting seeing a Sister be so vulnerable, but also very concerning (in universe and on a meta level, given the long line of disappointments from writers of various IPs, but I'll wait to see where this goes).
It's absolutely impossible for this not to happen at least one time in a 1000 years. Sisters are still human, i would expect Necron Worriors to be absolute mindless but even they glitch out from time to time
Her sister?
@@roger5555ful this is exactly my thought. Literally nothing is perfect, I'm excited to see the series
Sgt. Merrick and Lord General Castor from DoW 2 were not executed by Inquisitor Adrastia even though they’ve just witnessed tons of Chaos daemons and even the near ascension of Kyras into a daemon prince right in front of their eyes.
Can’t wait to see what happens when she becomes a repentia
Damn I wish some of these were on a more mainstream subscription service I'd really like to dive into the lore of 40k but it seems so massive I'd definitely need to have some sort of visual medium just to keep up
I found "If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device" by Alfabusa a good starting point. The 40k Lore in a minute video is a great condensed overview too
You can get most of the lore via RUclips videos.
If you want to absorb it chunk by chunk I’d suggest Majorkill. He does a good job making videos between 10 and 15 minutes discussing it aspect by aspect. As well as discussing some what ifs and fan theories about the universe.
If you want some longer overviews I’d suggest Bricky.
That's why they need to make a series. Make something akin to star wars the clone wars series, start from before or the start of the horus heresy and make our way to 40k. The amount of lore, battles and characters they can use, create from and further expand is enormous. They could easily make like 8 seasons of it, that is if they don't use their streaming service, which they probably would.
@@403_Forbidden Hopefully the upcoming Henry Cavill series on Amazon shows GW that they’ll be way more successful on more mainstream services instead of expecting the Warhammer community to pay for a service that is nothing but Warhammer.

that guardsmen is talking heresy
Kind of hyped for this, really, really hope it turns out good! But I’ll admit I kinda hoped the voices of the necron would be a little heavier and more menacing, think something like Sovereign in ME1, always felt like that would be perfect for necrons, but that’s just a personal nitpick.
Still, that necron quote was great.
That isn't regal enough for the Necron. All of the ones that still have their minds and thus can speak were all leaders, nobles, and royalty. So it fits if they were less deep and menacing to me.
"BE QUIET, there is something out there" *Casual Krieger existing* "hehe look at the rock"
That Guardswoman is bold to speak potentially defeatist words to a Soroitas.
Also, that Guardsman has the right attitude and God Damn, "Rectify the anomaly of their continued existence" is savage as Hell XD
I hope someday I'll find someone who believes in me as much as that guardsman believes in his lasgun.

Not every guardsman is a suicidal brainwashed walking gun. She’s arguing that it’s okay to still value yourself as a person. Sure in the grand scheme they won’t even be mentioned in history. But having value in your own life is worth something and it should mean the most to yourself.
Also hearing it again, it’s probably practicality, the planet is basically done for, no reason for them to stay.

To everyone fussy about the guardsman mouthing off. If you follow the content you know where they are. Their souls are literally separated from their bodies in the Pariah Nexus. It causes lethargy and doubt in humans. It is perfectly canon and in line with the WH40k setting and area they are in. Even Sisters can have their faith shaken and it explains why she doesn't immediately dispatch the guardsman. Calm down about this and don't let this turn into another stale 40k meme please.
Too many people here taking the memes too seriously when its a lot more complicated than just 'BLAM Heresy!'
Necrons > Space bugs > everyone else in this. I'm not into this fiction/kid stuff too much, but honestly, the space mummies/necrons are the best faction. They shed their biological forms to unite and win a losing war and defeated 'everyone' and 'everything', then just decided to go to sleep and hibernate until evil possibly returned; and it did, but it now effects the other factions more.
The reason I like them a lot more is the fact that while they don't have emotions, they don't need it. They only would 'attack humans' because humans get in their way, attack them first, or because the resources Necrons need to basically 'save everyone' are being kept from them. They're also being attacked by brainless humans, elves, orks, and others who may ally with them while vastly outnumbered 10x or 100x by others; for sake of fiction, Necrons never gain a foothold, because just 1 ship annihilates an entire fleet at times, and if they did, then Necrons would defeat everyone.
Humanity are just generally too dumb, for the sake of fiction: it's like a Greek tragedy, they wage civil war against one another, and don't ever have peace; the ones who forge alliances and work properly usually get attacked by their own inquisitors and their own faction and make a civil war which hinders their progress to even expanding and uniting even against their common enemies.
Necrons are united, and facing just 1 small damaged portion of them that 'awakens' again and vastly 'outnumbered', typically wipes out the entire other factions in an entire sector/space (however large it is). They did what Humanity does already to augment themselves with tech, and yet are many times more ancient and powerful, and know things humans can't even understand, even with all that technology and progress. They likely knew about the space bugs, but now they are just possibly way larger and may be the only 'faction' that could be tasked with defeating them completely, once they gain an actual foothold and awaken a full army; it'd be a tough fight but they'd likely win once they've awoken fully. All the enemies Humanity fails to overtake, including the space bugs, the evil things, etc. these were defeated already by the Necrons. They went into the rift and defeated evil that corrupts the other factions. Other factions just perpetually fights endlessly, Necrons get results, they haven't lost any war except the ancient one they nearly lost themselves. Necrons defeated every ancient faction, including ancient evil and gods from the rift, after being on the brink of being wiped out. They shed their biological self to become hybrids/enhanced by technology; similar to humans, but way more ancient/better. They know how to handle almost every case, but human minds are too weak and too stupid to cooperate.
The way they're depicted here is just wrong, or even too weak. The only reason this faction (Necrons) would likely 'attack' humanity is because they realize they'ev been attacked and humanity will not let them have the few resources that they typically need , because once they have it , they can easily seal any rift, operate any technology, defeat any foe, etc.. They only view humans, and elves, similar to how humans view orks, they are brainless and very few of them can work toward a goal, where if they let the Necrons do it, they would have likely eternal peace as well as an ally to depend on. The only way humans are going to 'beat' a fully awoken Necron world is by sending like 10x the numbers and hoping that one of their best can get a lucky blow. Just sayin' the way they're depicted here will likely be wrong, you aren't going to 'beat' Necrons. The best way is to depict Humanity losing and then deal a lucky blow that deactivates or stops them temporarily before they actually wake up/grow too large, like destroying a planet where they are waking up.
Illuminor Szeras appears to be our antagonist for this one. The same Necron Cryptek known for extreme vivisection and experiments who literally just turns off his auditory sensors if his subject's screaming gets too annoying.
Edit: He is also the mind behind the process of biotransference!
He also makes sure his subjects are fully awake at all times so that he can study their reaction to all of it
makes me wish for the return of Necron Pariahs!
@@personman666 watch them bring back Thomas Macabee from Dark Crusade of all people
@@personman666 Did you see the name of the series..? That is what it is about
@@personman666 With that scene of the person strapped to the table looking not very vivisected, it may be pretty likely.
Absolutely no way would a random guard talk like that to a sister. One day there will be a Warhammer series run by someone who takes the lore seriously.
I'm hoping there is a good reason the SoB didn't torch her on the spot. Maybe they're trapped in some warp like dimension and working together to escape or something.
Yes, because the lore of a satirical setting that then became a corporate money machine made by toy manufacturers is truly so sacrosanct.
@@theundeadgentleman4998 it's not satire, so I'm guessing a Warhammer fan upset you or something and you're here to take it out on them?
@@scottdixon2505 I'm literally painting some orks right now, I just think it's goofy when people try to pretend the setting where silly chav orks fight elf space wizards and nuns that drive cathedrals should be taken seriously. The integrity of fictional settings owned by multimillion companies barely matter in the first place, who gives a shit about the lore when what really matters I'd if the product is actually entertaining or not.
@@theundeadgentleman4998 Orks are for nerds get you some Tau
jk
Add more shows with this kind of quality, and ill gladly start paying for Warhammer+
This is what we would like to see, more of this please GW
I love seeing a deathmark in action as probably my favourite necron unit
"Awaken primary functions from base protocols,"
"Obeiscance, Illuminor Szeras".
"Engage the survivors. Rectify the anomaly of their continued existence". - I vote for the Necrons. I hope they win this one.
So the Guardsmen is a ghost or something? The sister should have shot her 3 times, just in this trailer alone. xD
Yeah likely she's a hallucination or something
@GM Steelhaven oh right. The sister will clearly take no offense when someone that's not here subordinate, talks bad about the emperor. You are right and definitely know the setting. *this was sarcasm*
40k fans trying not to flanderize literally every aspect of the setting
Challenge Level: Impossible
Two things
First, The guardsman and sister having different views of the will of the imperium yet cooperating and not just being kill because heresy is really good for character and world building.
Second, they absolutely nailed Iluminor szeras with look and voice.
It's also consistent with the lore. The people being mad about it in the comments exclusively consume 40k through reddit memes, and that's why they're confused.
I absolutely agree
This is another example of why Necrons are the superior race in Warhammer.
Hopefully we get a scene of zahndrekh cramming food into his face while Obyron watches in silent contemplation of what went wrong in his life.
I'll give this series, and its look and voice performances, a shot.
I like the voice of the Necron leader - reminds me of the late voice acting icon, Tony Jay.
You mean voice acting legend. Still the best reason to replay the Legacy of Kain games every once in a while.
the guard talking all that herasi without regards is bad news
Man they are pushing 40k stuff hard late this year and in 2023.
The people throwing a shitfit about the Guardswoman speaking harshly to a Sororitas and not being instantly murdered are the kind of people who learned their Warhammer lore exclusively from memes.
Yeah I call them "the lazy kind"
>Kill the heretics
It's literally their job description. The guardsman making fun of the state religion is quite immersion breaking because miracles and angels are in fact very much real and observable, especially from an Adepta Sororitas point of view. This whole scene is just silly
@@Krachbumm-Ente Again: If you only get your lore from memes, that might seem like it tracks.
But it doesn't. Sororitas are not brainless drones. They're human. The Imperial Guard Commissars are not brainless drones. They're human. Even the psycho-indoctrinated Space Marines are not brainless drones - they are human, despite their frequent protests to the contrary.
Actually read the books that make up the lore, instead of the memes drawn from it, and you'd understand.
@@HellbirdIV What do you mean by "memes"? This is how they are literally described in both the core rules and the codex. Have you ever read any of it? When they enter a fight they will throw drop churches on their enemies, burn everthing down to the ground, cleanse what ever remains with holy water and march onto the battlefield singing chanties while church music is being played from the battleships in orbit
@@Krachbumm-Ente ... no, that's not how they're described in the books. That's how they're described in memes.
They do not "drop churches on their enemies". That's straight-up the meme version of it. In lore, they have *dropships* that *resemble* churches because that's the SoB aesthetic.
Further, none of that is relevant to the point: Sisters of Battle are not mindless drones. They are humans. They are people. They act and behave like people.
The fact that they chant hymnals ("chanties" is not a word) and prayers when going into battle does not, in fact, change that they aren't just walking cartoons.
That's just what memes teach people. Again: Instead of reading memes and out-of-context blurbs, read the *books.*
Love the determination, confidence and bravery in that guradsman who said "whatever did this, we can take it"
holy cow this looks nice
The funeral bell at 1:44 was a funny touch.
That's a piano.
"Life matters!" *A Commissar laughs in the background* :D.
I have two thoughts.
1) This would make an amazing game if they focused on the guard and the sisters/astartes were things you saw on the sides doing their thing but the character you played stayed a guardsman.
2) They better not wuss out and actually show us what the books showed us...that both ork and necron show not just fear, but absolute hopelessness when an Imperial Crusade armada moves into a system. There was no moment quite like that when they showed us ork fleeing and necrons looking at the sky and actually speaking about just how fucked they were. It took a book about Necrons to show us just how bloody SCARY the Imperium is when it goes on crusade.
Well, it depends on the dynasty. The Twice-Dead King was hopeless because the Flayer Curse had already wrecked their entire army and the former leader had let the infrastructure deteriorate to the point they couldnt fight back.
That being said, the Flayed Ones completely eviscerated an entire Dreadnought once they were let out of their cage.
I have no comments on orks, though.
I wonder when we will have a game from the Warhammer universe about Eldar or Necrons. Two best races in my book.
The Eldar is by far my favourite race. The Necrons are perfect antagonists. Only the tyranids are equally terrifying. Chaos and Dark Eldar are ok, the orks are too cartoonist for my liking. Eldar with reluctant support from the Empire vs. Necron would be nice. A collaboration of some Parties in 40k would be a good change for the Setting.
Especially Dark Eldar and Necrons with their anti psyker attitude and the love for tormenting flesh could get well along.
Nice to see the Necrons won the 9th edition trailer. Good for them
All these comments about "A REAL SISTER OF BATTLE WOULD HAVE KILLED HER IMMEDIETLY" are really annoying. C'mon guys, they're obviously bonding past the point of "following the rules". Not every person in the imperium of man follows every rule to a T. Most don't actually lmao. And yes you could say it's a plot device, but that's how you make a plot interesting, WITH PLOT DEVICES AND NOT NORMAL THINGS HAPPENING.
I know. But most people's understanding of the lore is entirely confined to reddit memes.
Most people here have likely never seen the cover of a 40k novel irl.
@@TheTealPrince yeah. sisters aren't as overly trigger happy as the memes. yet people can't seem to believe that. sisters are just people like us. very devout people, but they are intelligent and can make discussion with people without flying into a rage.
Huh... I'm rooting for the Necron here.
Hard out, that world was their home eons ago
"there is something out there"
The kreiger scutles away in the darkness lookikg for his shovel.
For the Emperor.
POV: the necrons took one of your blanks and weaponized them
Erm.. "Holy Emperor.. .. grant me your mercy"
First time I've seen someone *ask* for the Emperor's Mercy
The guy who made Astartes video has his signature all over with the running shots and tilted angles.
The Necrons sound too human in my opinion, I always imagined them having more souless voices.
I don't see why they should have to speak to each other at all. Just use the necro-wifi or whatever
Ever since Necrons were reimagined as having "dynasties" and fancy titles they've been far more talkative and emotional. The writers changed them forever ago, unfortunately.
@@teri1496 Yeah, the newcrons are just egyptian Eldar-robots, not the lovecraftian horrors they were at first
¿ Like Soundwave from Transformers Sagas ?
Despite the whole 'newcron' and necron of old, I like the lore of the necrontyr and dynasties, even the silent king is a great look into the entirety of the faction. Besides, if it wasn't for the 'newcrons', we wouldn't have Trazyn The Infinite
0:42 the moment when I realized, OH MY GOD IT'S ILLUMNOR SZERAS!
