[@DarrylBrazell]

Great reaction gentleman, I always enjoy watching people that actually pay attention to what’s happening.

[@WadeWadeReacts]

​@@DarrylBrazell Paying attention is a must. Thanks for watching, and we're glad that you enjoyed our reaction.

[@garbagecan9547]

Man these dudes are underrated, actually have a reaction and pointing out little things, y’all actually seem interested

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@garbagecan9547 Yeah we became fans of Warhammer 40k after this video lol. Thanks for the words of kindness and for watching.

[@Comment117]

Wow you guys are smart and really pay attention. You caught so much more than I did on my first watch lol

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@Comment117 Thanks for the words of kindness, and for watching. 💯

[@Exhaustid]

Yaaaaaaaaall. 8 foot tall, x4 regular strength, 2 hearts, 3 lungs, extra sci-fi organs, years of mental conditioning, super long lifespan, power armor, and super weapons, but there's still things that could wipe them out. Amazing.

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@Exhaustid The Warhammer universe is something else.

[@drhapi5308]

Who is there? I have failed Brother, we have ALL failed. The Astartes deny our touch. You must return, break your shield. Impossible, will never survive. You must! Take them! “Recall them immediately!”

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@drhapi5308 The two orbs were strange. Thanks for the comment and for watching.

[@Omega3azlea]

Seal, not shield. Innit? Yeah, seal.

[@TheDeagler4ce]

Somehow told a story with little to no talking LOL that was awesome.

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@TheDeagler4ce Same exact thoughts. 💯

[@NordisktLejon]

12:32, There is! The scene looks somewhat similar to one of Zdzislaw Beksinski's paintings, "Untitled 1972".

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@NordisktLejon Yes!!! That's the one, the scene looked very familiar. Thanks for the comment and for watching.

[@timogeerties3487]

You guys are all amazing! And @WadeWadeReacts too

[@mortalwombat09]

Really enjoyed watching this guys. It's one of my favourite animations ever, and since I can't wipe my memory of it and watch it for the first time again, I have to live vicariously through reaction videos. Cool video fellas, cheers from the UK 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@mortalwombat09 Did you watch the Secret Level Warhammer short? If you did, then what did you think about it?

[@chaosXP3RT]

You should watch some the animated clips of the Warhammer 40k shows, the Tithes and Pariah Nexus

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@chaosXP3RT Thanks for the recommendation, we'll check it out.

[@IncoGnito-ji5du]

That scenery at the end with the giant statues, reminds me of the art by Beksinski

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@IncoGnito-ji5du Same here. The animator most likely took inspiration from Beksinski's work for that ending scene.

[@EdDerp101]

Nice seeing genuine reactions, not filled with over reaction. Rock on!

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@EdDerp101 Thanks

[@ArgentLeftovers]

"He shoot an EMP blast, shut everything down?" No, that was a plasma pistol (yes, PISTOL) that basically shot a miniature sun at them. Needless to say, far more effective than an EMP for shutting people down, haha.

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@ArgentLeftovers We know now. Back when this video was posted we hadn't a clue about Warhammer 40k. Are you a fan of bolt or plasma weapons? Thanks for the informative comment and for watching.

[@tbagowens9346]

@@WadeWadeReacts bolters, an automatic weapon that shoots Red Bull can sized rockets that explode after penetrating a target is hard to beat in terms of awesomeness. Plasma weapons are technically better in terms of technology and are still cool but bolters will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@doconline]

Incredible project. I genuinely hope we get good Warhammer movie or show one of these years; it's such a cool universe.

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@doconline Amazon is supposed to be making a show with Henry Cavill. Don't know if it'll be good, but we're hoping it will.

[@doconline]

​@@WadeWadeReacts Fingers crossed! Here for the content either way 👍

[@ChaoticRad]

This 1000% deserves an animated series!

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@ChaoticRad Agreed, it would definitely be a treat for the fans.

[@Warpded]

Crazy to know this is made by ONE DUDE

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@Warpded Yeah, he did an amazing job.

[@aubreyfinn4450]

The guy in the red robes is an Inquisitor (like secret police, KGB/CIA type of guy) and also has access to psychic powers that he was using to listen in on the two orbs telepathically talking. What he hears has him worried enough that he's telling them to get their guys out, but when he's distracted by that the orb they have chained up starts to possess him, which is why you can hear him start chanting and seeing visions. Possessed psychic people are no joke, and can cause things up to and including ripping open a portal to basically hell, so the two space marines with him gave him a mercy kill.

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@aubreyfinn4450 Yeah, since then we have learned a lot about how the 40k universe works, so the events in the video are understandable to us now. Thanks for taking the time to leave an informative comment and for watching.

[@Eisen_Jaeger]

If I'm remembering correctly, that guy having 3 gold studs over his eye means he's been in service for 300 years.

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@Eisen_Jaeger Yeah, think you're right. Thanks for the comment and for watching.

[@MrGaleanon]

At their best, Space Marines are distilled and enhanced aspects of humanity's heroism, sacrifice, honor, fury, nobility and indomitability.

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@MrGaleanon Sounds cool.

[@BAGELMENSK]

What even more impressive about this animation is that, while warhammer has a lot of lore to draw on, this story centers around stuff that even 40k veterans are unlokely to have seen before.

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@BAGELMENSK Wow that's interesting. Are there some original ideas in the short?

[@Myomer104]

​@WadeWadeReacts Basically, only the tech on display was canon before GW essentially bought this short film. 1) The Space Marines were an OC chapter (the Retributors). 2) The "Argosa Uprisings" (the humans the Marines were fighting) were made up by the creator 3) The Orbs were an OC species of aliens.

[@Spookalypse]

Hate to say this but the creator of this masterpiece was hired by Games Workshop (which owns the IP) and ended up deleting everything because of copyright. Below is the comment by Witchblade112 on one of the latest videos of the Astartes channel what happened: For those wondering what happened, Games Workshop (GW) introduced new intellectual property rules this year that completely forbid any fan-made animations or basically any community productions that use GW content. They basically told all of their most hardcore fans to delete everything they had passionately worked on for years for nothing other than the love of the hobby, purely out of a misplaced sense of greed. Astartes didn't upgrade. It was buried.

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@Spookalypse That's unfortunate and upsetting. The fan animation and lore videos are the things making us interested in Warhammer. To attack enthusiastic fan animators is pure insanity; on top of that putting everything behind a pay wall with weak promotion.

[@ArgentLeftovers]

Bull.

[@emperorconstantine1.361]

Just fyi gentlemen, the Bolter (the rifle the Astartes are using) fires a 75 caliber Self propelled explosive bullet. The size of Red Bull cans. (Think large rifle caliber RPG.)

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@emperorconstantine1.361 Yeah, that's a powerful bullet.

[@tHiNk413]

Welcome to the rabbit hole 😊

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@tHiNk413 Definitely a rabbit hole, lol.

[@operatorrusskie1568]

Space marine may look overpowerd but they are a resonable response to the horros out in the universe.

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@operatorrusskie1568 Agreed, they are definitely within reason. The 40k universe is pretty deadly.

[@Omega3azlea]

Flashes, one on each pillar

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@Omega3azlea Dang, sure wish there was a part two. Now we're just stuck wondering what was going to happen next.

[@Omega3azlea]

@@WadeWadeReacts Animator got hired by GW and so it'll ever happen :(

[@chronictoasty-_-1969]

Space marines get absolutely bodied frequently. It just depends on whatever they happened to be going up against

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@chronictoasty-_-1969 Yes we're noticing that as we get deeper into the lore. The animator made them look so powerful, but like someone told us, the enemies in the short are weak.

[@PARAMOUNTPHLOPYNATOR]

did you guys see the secret level warhammer animation??

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@PARAMOUNTPHLOPYNATOR Yeah it was pretty good. We have a reaction to most of it if you're interested. Just check the channel under our Warhammer 40k reaction playlist.

Guys watch. Bricky Warhammer reaction. You will know more about lore. Love your reaction.

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@FlexStudioPL Bricky is the man. Watched a couple of his videos already. The universe of Warhammer 40k is interesting.

[@Jee123123]

The two guys at 4:00 are very weak for what is called Psykers, basically a wizard that gets their power from hell.

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@Jee123123 Wow they're actually weak? That's crazy, lol.

[@Jee123123]

@@WadeWadeReacts The guy that was listing to the two sphere's with the i on his back was likely more powerful than those two. Trouble with this type of power it can be a health risk. Bricky's videos every warhammer explained videos touches a little bit on Psyker's but it's worth watching the vids

[@kato1kalin]

There is no sequel or movie because games workshop are greedy, dumb, short sighted baffons. In the past GW basically strong armed all the content creators into either working for them or abandoning their work in the 40k world. Those content creators were largely responsible for the growth of 40k. That guy who made this was given a job, they squandered his talent and now he left to work on other things. There is a short tralier showing what he was working on for asartes 2 and that's all well ever have. Damn GW to hell. Never forget. 3d printers go brrrrrrrr.

[@WadeWadeReacts]

@@kato1kalin This short made us fans of the 40k universe. Hopefully one day Astartes 2 is released. 🤞🏾🤞🏿

[@kato1kalin]

@@WadeWadeReacts Exactly! GW was drunk on the promise of their own streaming channel. They destroyed everything to prop up a terrible streaming service. Unfortunately, I don't think it will ever come. The guy is working on other things. The teaser trailer for astartes 2 will make you cry for what we were robbed of. 😭
