40 Facts and Lore on the Raptors Spacemarine Chapter in Warhammer 40K

[@zaxbitterzen2178]

Disciplined, patient, reasonable, level headed, supremely skilled in marksmanship, smart, and demigod soldiers to boot lol. My chapter

[@warriorfire8103]

One of the few chapters to actually use the codex as intended. I love the honor crazed basic marine but it's hard not to appreciate the Raptors.

[@doc_havoc00heavywing37]

Raptor: great, we lost all of our stuff to the warp. Blood Raven to himself: not all of it, lol

[@blakecouch4621]

The sneaky fuck

[@jamesgorman5692]

Chapter motto: Surprise motherf******!

[@leonheart9720]

LOL

[@user-ew3dm1jq6j]

If the skills of the Raptors and the Mentor Legion were combined, they would be unstoppable.

[@Mafty06]

This has has been slowly becoming one of my fav chapter

[@Rye042]

So they are the reasonable marines?

[@a.c.a.b8974]

Good question.. 🤔

[@alfiemoloney1163]

Seems that way

[@ItzJigz187]

No reasonable marines are not an army

[@thegreatergood8081]

More Marine-Marines instead "I'm a generically engineered space crusader in knight armor with a big ass sword"-Marine

[@AlexEvans-od4ir]

@@thegreatergood8081 yeah, they are in effect any modern western special forces unit(SAS, KSK, Delta force, SOC, greek first paratrooper brigade, etc) mixed with space marines.

[@Illure]

I have trouble picturing a sneaky 8 foot tall marine in massive power armor.

[@trk4973]

You mean that tree over there.

[@Killicon93]

Scout marines don't really use power armor so there's that.

[@ItzJigz187]

They dont tend to wear power armour In The lore

[@rtgh2010]

The worlds they fight on are 8ft bigger

[@ChibiViolin]

Would love for these guys to run into the Tanith.. Raptor sneaks up on gaunt. Mkoll sneaks up on Raptor.

[@hithere5553]

It sounds like these guys and the Tanith First and Only would get along famously.

[@xXSpaceMexicanXx]

Another great chapter 💜 Good ol reasonable marines

[@01SARDAUKAR]

great content, the Raven Guard and their successors chapter are one of my favorites 👍🏻

[@connieleblanc6212]

Yes . Always loved corvus and followed his legion and successors . He's been hunting this whole time in the warp

[@bigchef290]

I like them; they need more lore.

[@albioncia]

if the emperor is still at full health i think he will very much like raptor chapter above any other chapter because the emperor himself view his primarch and astartes as weapon for humanity nothing more

[@matthewgarrette2242]

Ghost recon marines. Love it

[@NetMoverSitan]

Ah, their Primarch is 40K Nightwing...similar application of stealth to the Raven Guard, but slightly different. | 5:50 - (monotone) All hail the Ultrasmurfs. | Guerrilla tactics? Sounds consistent for the Sons of Corvus Corax. | 12:40 - Sounds like how Big Papa Ultrasmurf originally intended it, it was over time that it became holy scripture to his sons.

[@kishinasura1989]

Man the Raptors and Gorilla fighters would make the perfect counter Force

[@Eazfb]

Love your videos, sitting and painting models while listening to your videos mate :D

[@angelosmortis3081]

Our chapter master Gabriel Angelo's would like a word with this chapter

[@thiagom8478]

Closest thing to believable behavior of an institution able to endure violent times, looks like.

[@wingonn5153]

Sweet, I found my Space Marine Chapter to soup with my Imperial Guards.

[@Killicon93]

Same, that is til I get the budget to start buying and painting Wh40k again.

Great commentary, thanks for posting.

[@darkenvader]

Love this chapter thank you. Keep up the great work guys.

[@wayfaringmrwolf366]

Im imagen this guys with the Catachan and or the Tanith duk it out with the Tou Kroots on a jungel death world. Now that woud make even Rambo go ”O hell no, Im out”

[@Red19487]

The literal "special" special forces

[@ThirAilith]

Combine Space Wolves and The Raptors and u get the perfect space marine chapter

[@kishinasura1989]

Personally the grey knights are about as close to perfection as you can get in 40k

[@yvastel8153]

This chapter and the excorcists are the most practical, lore wise.

[@c0mmentator]

I would like to see them working with the Catachan

[@archangelRCF]

Best chapter

[@markhartshorn3476]

So an eight foot tall space marine is sneaky? Must use a very powerful stealth field

[@wayfarinstranger9962]

Big animals ambush things all the time, I fail to see how size has much of a factor in being stealthy.

[@Outlaw7263]

Also they do have some psycher abilities, I'm guessing noise and presence cancelation are among them

[@spectrem1858]

Are you secretly Dunkey? Also, please more Raptors.

[@daneeaston9945]

You thought they were missing, then like a crazy ex-girlfriend they come back full strength outta no where.

Soo wish I could buy theses now would be a very good unit

[@BootsofBlindingSpeed]

What other chapters are smart/reasonable etc Space Marines haha? (Filthy casual here so I'm bad.)

[@345635356]

The Blood Ravens are a bit more dogmatic than Raptors, but they do use their librarians to use their pre-vision to refine their battle plans and do value gathering knowledge, intelligence, and wargear for future use.

[@spectrem1858]

Updated video please!? There's new lore for them while the imperium slept.

[@Red19487]

Im still waiting for TheSoundAlchemist to do a Garviel Loken vid :D

[@threatassessment216]

Wonderful work boy

[@vojtechpolak9109]

Truth is, when Raptors were listed in imperial records as MIA (in M37) they were really destroyed by Alpha legion. With time, Raptors chapter was rebuild, but this with Alpha legion legionares. With its history destroyed alongside their homeworld, they were ideal target for this role. Thats why Raptor's chapter tactics is so similar to Alpha legion's - they are the same.

[@fmotta4]

name of the song please?

Are thease the same guys that corax tried to make when he tired to make better marines

[@ItzJigz187]

Yes and no

Raptors👍

I'm trying to make halo spartans and this is the closest chapter I've found so far

[@leonheart9720]

the raptors need to check there privlage =o

[@nobilesnovushomo58]

Can you create any more obvious a reference to the U.S. Military and/or Marines? Olive drab Naming themselves the Raptors “4:45 during the war of the Raptors had ample access to a supply line” “5:25 The fact that the Raptors lost their first home world only serves to amplify their concerns” Hawaii and battle of Midway. “5:30 The safe preservation of their adopted home is clearly a priority of the Raptors” “5:48 The Raptors chapter prides itself on its extreme zeal for the emperor of mankind” - “muh God and country” 5:55 disregard for Protocol (Codex Astartes) is legendary and their preference for flexibility and adaptability and achieving mission objectives above honor is legendary - this is perhaps the most dripping example of allusion to our Armed Forces across the world 6:37 “ The Raptors make extensive use of their scouts” - anyone that knows anything about the US forces in World War II knows that they came with ample supply of scouts and information in terms of aircraft. 7:37 honor and glory are noble ideals but success is what really matters... yep definitely US forces. 8:58 delivering false information during fog of war - so tricking the Italians into believing we’re invading in a different place, and the Japanese into revealing that they were invading Midway 9:37 deploying space marine forces among human forces and involving them in their tactics. 10:13 hit and run tactics - Island hopping campaign... “exceptionally well equipped with technology” Favor usage of guerrilla tactics to deplete enemy forces - The usage of Korean Iraqi and Vietnamese techniques against them Surgical precision strikes to remove enemy leaders Companies and squad leaders making decisions with high degrees of independence Not to mention... a bald eagle on their shoulders... use of strategic pressure points to break the enemy when invading... and Roman numerals to designate combat forces “Patton’s VII Army... and they like to study their goals rationally before planting forces... don’t care if they’re called cowards, “we won...” conceding minor symbolic victories for a strategic victory... Focus on company goal than individual victory... at various times in their history the Raptors have almost gone extinct (basically early US colonial history in a nutshell replete with the war of 1812 in which the British burned our capital)... The corps will continue but never forget the individual sacrifices... The plight for a better tomorrow for those they serve and they themselves is worth the sacrifice of their lives today... fatalism and their beliefs and the acceptance of possibility of death This *SCREAMS of US Military.*

[@AlexEvans-od4ir]

This is more or less any western military in a nutshell, not just the US.

[@tropicalheat808]

Hehe sneak marines

[@SCUBAelement-Intl]

Cool vid

[@benjaminloeal8611]

Suggestion: tau

[@nowhere474]

They ain't ALPHA LEGION

[@345635356]

They probably are the chapter you’d send to hunt the Alpha Legion, especially since Alpha Legionnaires can't help but be sneaky for the OCD sake of it, while Raptors are sneaky out of a sense of pragmatism, meaning that in a shadow war, Raptors probably would be able to outflank Alpha Legionnaires by being more efficient.

[@Cynocehali]

Would love to make an army list of these guys and find some raptor dinos to take with them. Could just give them the same wolf stats that the space wolves use. *edit* damn they meant bird raptors not dino raptors...:(
