    Over the years Warhammer 40K has given us some absolute Banger war cries, and the ones utilized by the Space Marine chapters are some of the absolute best. from the mocking irony of The Emperor's children, The Sinister promise of the Dark Angels, the blood crazed Fury of the World eaters, and the courage and honor of the Ultramarines (and all the rest of them). I love a good Warhammer 40,000 war cry! in this video we're going to take all of the founding chapters of the adeptus astartes and rank them based solely on how good their war cries are from best to bad. we're going to be looking at the Loyalists of the Imperium of man, and the traitors of the chaos Space Marines as well as a handful of lesser known chapters near the end that I thought had particularly great war cries.

    Honestly "THIS SILENCE OFFENDS SLAANESH!"
    Is such a great war cry
    Becuase they say it, on a chaotic, extremely loud battle field, which will already give a normal person tinitus.
    And then unleash a weapon so loud that being in front of it just straight kills you from how extra loud it is
    So you're in a scenario that's as loud as you can handle.
    And these guys are saying its too fucking quiet

  • @magnusbjarni
    @magnusbjarni 24 дня назад +199

    "Into the fires of battle, onto the anvil of war" is a brilliant warcry, because while the Salamanders tend to behave as if they are very emotional (saving kids and all) as they use fire based weapons (which imply emotions), they are pretty calm and collected in their battle tactics, as they were nearly wiped out and need to be careful. They fight relentlessly for humanity and between saving a planet or the planets populace, they will rescue the people even if it means the planet falls.
    They don't throw away their lives to save humans, they put themselves in-between the danger and the human. Because they can take the relentless beating, they can take the scorching fire. They don't see themselves as superior beings (unlike some of the Space Marines) but rather as protectors built to save humanity as it is.
    The Salamanders do not scream their lungs out, they do not run head first into battle without a thought, they instead fight as brothers, not just to each other, but to anyone else who is ready to lay their lives down to defeat the enemy. They find their strengths and use them.
    And if you are brave, if you stand your ground and withstand the onslaught, you have been through hell. And you've come out stronger. You have shown you are braver than the Space Marines, who are custom built and equipped for war.
    "Into the fires of battle, onto the anvil of war". You stand, you fight, you fall, but above all else, you always get back up.

    • @Scudboy17
      @Scudboy17 24 дня назад +19

      If anything, the Salamanders' way of war is terrifying for the enemy to face. Using what amounts to terror weapons as standard issue, and then fighting calmly and methodically, incinerating their enemies one by one or by the thousands all at once. Imagine an enemy having to fight thru that, then charging into close combat, thinking you're attacking them where they are weakest, only to find out the Salamanders are also the physically largest founding legion and really love giant ass hammers too.

    • @magnusbjarni
      @magnusbjarni 23 дня назад +18

      @@Scudboy17 every weapon they wield is a handmade masterpiece, made by each member to fit their person perfectly. So instead of mass produced chain swords or rare and ancient powers words that don't quite perfectly fit the wielder, as it might be slightly too long, too short or the grip not big enough or too big, the Salamanders forge their own weapons and constantly improve their craft. The Salamanders might not be the best at close combat, but their weapons are absolutely top of the line, custom made by them and for then, and the fact they know every molecule within makes them extremely powerful warriors.
      AFAIK, a lot of the Space Marine chapters tend to spend their time praying in some form, or training. The Salamanders tend to not pray exactly, but instead seek spiritual connection through their work, which tends to be very varied. Part of it is forging and if they can't do their best, they fail. So they reforge, not just the equipment, but themselves.
      And by building strong connections with their home planet and their people whom they come from, they are granted zeal to not just the Imperium, but to every person within it, as each citizen from the lowest serf on a distant agriworld to the high lords of Terra is part of their heritage and family.
      It also does help enormously that Vulkan was a massive fucking beef cake with a heart of gold, making the Salamanders also fucking massive.

If you remember that they're master in siege, when you hear a voice coming from a mountain of metal, carrying a riot shield bigger than the mountain itself, marching at a fixed pace and you hear "Iron within, iron without", you will shit your pants and pray. But also, the complete one is a battle cry, a mantra and a reminder of what to do and how to be a Iron Warrior. Goddamn amazing.

    Replacement battle cry ideas for some of the lower ranking chapters:
    White Scars: "On lightning we ride! From lightning we strike!"
    Imperial Fists: "Crush yourselves against us, we will remain!"
    Word Bearers: "Our victory shall be carved into your flesh!"
    Space Wolves: "We are His executioners, and we will deliver His sentence!"
    Blood Angels: "Paint the skies red with our vengeance!" or "Vengeance upon swift me!"
    Death Guard: "Pox and plague. We are the end of all." or "Come share in our gifts."

    @sebastianls412 23 дня назад +8

    I’m going to defend hydra dominatus here.
    It’s warcry that suits but he the legions purposes, it works when yelled in the heart of the battle, and whispered while slipping a knife into someone’s back. It can be yelled with loud and vicious fervour, or whispered with cruel malice.
    The hydra also evokes the legion itself, with the mythical beast being present in every level of their iconography, their legion logo or the scales on their armour. The hydra is the single thing that best describes the legion, a great serpent with more heads than you can handle. And the second word, dominatus tells you that you’ve lost, wether that be fear on the field of battle as your charged by astartes, or as it dominates your final thoughts while you choke on your own blood in a place you thought safe.
    Hydra dominatus is easily an A tier war cry imo, it’s easy and fun to say and works for whatever purpose the legion needs it for. It’s a tool to inspire fear and cement the inevitable victory of the legion, a promise of your defeat.
    I am alpharius, hydra dominatus.
    Side note: I’m gonna bash “we are returned, death to the false emperor” the second half originates from the night lords. Its first ever speaker was sevetar, first captain of the night lords at the meeting of the traitor forces before the drop site massacre. Thus if any legion deserves it, it’s the 8th.

That Russ will be the first primarch they name after shouting for the emperor. Dunno. I get it why you don't like ours, but people can be wrong :P

    I disagree, chanting their holy scripture in possibly even the tongue of demons, hailing the gods is probably a very intimidating image. Its also not that they chant it mid battle as shown by the WB trilogy, but as said, shortly before battle or before clashing ranks. They also chant it to induce into their mortal meat shields a frenzied state.

    To add something on to the Salamanders war cry: It's a description of how they forge themselves into warriors. When you are forging steel you first put it into the fire to heat it up and then you put it onto the anvil to shape it. They are forged by plunging themselves into the fires of battle and shaped upon the anvil of war. Just like any good weapon.

Being a part of a resistance group of slave prisoners that fought for freedom "Victory or Death" makes perfect sense.

    As a Raven Guard fan, victorus aut mortis is very fitting for the chapter. It sums up the pragmatic approach the Raven Guard has to war. The war cries are variations or hate, loyalty, honour, the Raven Guard focus on one thing. It's also a war cry largely used after the prelude of subterfuge and sabotage, when the legion is full ready to commit to battle. It's a statement that the Raven Guard are now fully committed and there's nothing you can do to stop them. Solid B tier.

    3. White Scars: "I feel the need. the need for spe..." I mean it should be. "Swift as the Whirlwind! Strike like the Thunderbolt! "
    4. Space Sharks: No war cries but their soon to be former prey would simply ask. "Why do I hear JAWS music?"
    5. Space Wolves: I think a simple good old fashion howl is best but. "Let the Murder Making Begin!"

    during the siege of terra, the great khan rode out, wrecked his bike, got lost in a cloud of miasma, and then surrounded by death guard (who were intent on slaying a primarch early in the siege). Sanguinius ends up coming to save him, but before that - while he was surrounded by warp-twisted death guard and trying to fight them off with an infected knife poisoning him from being stuck in the back of his knee, an unnamed white scar comes flying in on a gravbike at like 100 km/hr, screaming, and jumps off the bike, using his body as a projectile to knock the death guard back and give his khan some breathing room. He was promptly killed before he could get back up.
