NEW DEATHWATCH!!! | The Enemy Without Cinematic Breakdown

[@dathore]

One small detail that wasn't mention that you see in the animation is that, when the Black Templar impales a flayed one with his sword, he presents the body to the Crimson Fist for him to fire on, this is because the bolter of the Crimson Fist is most likely loaded with Antiphasic shells, a special kind of bolter round, in use by the deathwatch that prevents a necron's inner systems from triggering their fail safe and teleporting the body away for repairs, it's one of the many tools the deathwatch uses, and also may be why the Crimson Fist took the final shot, to make sure the body of the Destroyer Lord would not phase away to be repaired.

[@Gonzolok89]

Cheers on that, I wondered why that last scene that Marine shot the body before the end. That makes more sense now.

[@valentinvozaf647]

but flayers aren´t teleported back when they die. If i´m not mistaken in the twice dead king novels it is stated that the system automatically turns that function off if it detects corruption.

[@robertumbenga3195]

A Black Templar, a Crimson Fist, and a Space Wolf walk into a church and see an Imperial Guardsman praying. The Templar says, "He should be wielding a chainsword." The Fist adds, "A bolter’s more fitting." The Space Wolf laughs, "Give him a keg and he’ll be fine." Suddenly, Necrons burst through the door. The Guardsman, wide-eyed, looks at the Space Marines and whispers, "Any of you got a plan?" The Templar replies, "Purge them in the Emperor's name." The Fist, "Time to reduce these xenos to scrap metal." The Wolf grins, "Don't worry, Guardsman, I hope you like a good fight." The Guardsman panics, "What should I do?!" The Templar shouts, "Die for the Emperor!" The Fist adds, "Hold the line!" The Space Wolf laughs, "Try not to scream too loud!" The Guardsman sighs, "Great, I’m the only one who gonna die.I hate my job.Why do I always end up with the ones who think they're invincible?"

Right? It sucks Uler dies in Space Marine 2 but you can see his wolf insignia and his signature Axe present when he's aboard the fighter with Titus.

[@angelcorrea985]

One minor correction. The other chapters use adolescents for initiates to recieve the gene seed, but spacewolves use young men that are ready to fight for their clans. This means the numbers are smaller of those who survive the procedure. They take those that have faught the best amongst the mortally wounded in accordance to the beliefs of fenrisians that the ALL- Father takes the greatest to be one of his skywarriors and the rest go to valhalla. This is why spacewolves, on the early tabletop are a step up from other chapters. Their tactical squads were the equivalent of elite tactical squads and had choice of better gear. Im not sure if primaris are like that because im a horus heresy guy.

So now I know a little and want to learn more. Thanks and of course you have a sub and my thanks for making warhammer understandable and just unbelievably kick ass. I can’t believe I never knew about this til I was in my 50’s but dam dude, this shit is fucking awesome! I can’t believe no one has made a movie with this(not animated, even though it’s still insane). It would be perfect.

you should look at "Guardsman' a very short but very good live action piece and no one should miss "Helsreach", an animated but absolutely beautiful full length feature... both available on youtube. enjoy.

[@ODST59]

@Counterpoints40k You forgot to mention the reason why the crimson fist always took the last finishing shot or double tapping an already dead necron. The reason for that is a special bolt round(Antiphasic Shells) made to stop necrons from phasing back to their tomb world when taking critical damage or mortal damage so their conscience can be placed in a new body. This round stops that from happening forcing them to stay dead permanently instead of being placed in another body. Necrons are not immortal per se because if they cannot phase shift back to the tomb world after a mortal wound, what ever is left in that head will die like its current body unable to back itself up. The bodies itself act as a external SSD with their main data, mean while the bodies in the tomb world only hold their backup EMPTY externals. If they cannot retrieve the main external with its data then that necron is now permanently dead.

[@ODST59]

😢 after editing type-os the heart disappeared noo😢

[@ArminaticsVoiceArtist]

@@ODST59 Flayers dont phase back either way as the tomb world wont rebuild a corrupted member even a king. Also doesnt the bullet just limit the body? Cause their codes can still be caught if close enough.

[@ODST59]

@@ArminaticsVoiceArtist the flayers are corrupted yes but they still phase them back because their still troops that the necrons can use so they do phase them back and all the other time necrons died without getting hit by this are really rare. If you look at the episode with the apothecary and the salamander. You can see the destroyer being phased back after getting it's head ripped off because they weren't hit with the antiphase shells. Think of it this way. Just because servitors are mindless does that mean the imperium wouldn't try to at least salvage it if it's possible? It's the same for the flayed ones because their still useful shock troops.

[@ArminaticsVoiceArtist]

@@ODST59 well in the books they always said the flayers were only kept cause its too much of a hassle to remove them. But a dead flayer would die his final death. Cause no tomb world would rebuild a flayer

[@ArminaticsVoiceArtist]

@@ODST59 also their bodies phase away but the mind can be cought via their translocation codes. So when a character dies and the body is gone the mind can be restored

[@oldeskul]

GW must have recently rewritten the lore for the flayed ones. In the old lore, when the Necrons took the fight to the C'tan, they destroyed one known as The Flayed One. C'tan being gods of the materium, when one gets destroyed, it rewrites the universe. When they destroyed The Flayed One, it infected a portion of them with the flayer curse, which when combined with their desire to return to flesh and blood, it drove them to peel the skin and flesh from their victims and drape it over themselves. There is currently a Necron dynasty that is almost entirely flayed ones that resides in the Ghoul Stars(I believe).

[@ArminaticsVoiceArtist]

That lore is still true with the death of the flayer. In the twice dead king books the main characters father Unas was there and one of those to slay it. Thus his kingdom became fully of flayers later. And valgul in the ghoul stars leads the remains of Unas house.

[@thewovenmantis6813]

They didn’t change it; they just completely ignored all of it for this trailer.

[@FatalFist]

Leave it to WH40K to create new different takes on zombieculture.

[@squigburger]

Even if the space wolf wanted to, he couldn't share his deeds done during the deathwatch. They are sworn to secrecy by the Inquisition. In the novel Blood of Asaheim, Ingvar is recently returned from the Deathwatch and comments how he can't share what happened.

[@FatalFist]

I thought the deeds could be written on tarps or their pauldron where as a Blackshield however is redacted on all accounts either be it due to penance or to spare their birth chapter from their own failures as not to disgrace their brothers?

[@meleechad6695]

The worst kind of torture for a space wolf. Can't talk about all the cool shit he did with his brothers.

[@snip105]

I honestly hope that one day there will be a Death Watch coop pve game where 5 people can play together. Have game mechanics like SM2 and possibly a skill set like Dawn of war 2. Even have 3 or 4 planets with different xenos to fight against.

[@d_ruggs]

I want more Deathwatch stuff. I think it's the perfect chapter to use to introduce a large number of people to Warhammer. It covers the most important chapters, you learn about the inquisition, a lot of the xeno's stuff, and can even talk about really old stuff like the horus heresy. I wish Space Marine 2 had been a deathwatch game instead of Ultramarines. That intro was so good. Deathwatch is also the perfect setting to show the differences between the different space marine chapters

[@FatalFist]

It makes sense. Given that so many of us adore our favorite chapters (except you Heretics) so a chapter that enlists units from all chapters as sort of a Special Operations - mixing and matching Chapters, that's a pretty cool concept that also makes sense from a cooperative perspective.

The thing I liked the most about this short movie was that they made the Necrons look like they are supposed to look: grim and horrifying. That Destroyer showing up through the wall with his gauss beam was a thing of nightmare. I really hope GamesWorkshop goes back to the original art, isntead of making my necrodemis boys look like plastic toys.

[@Trehlas]

Agreed, these days a lot of the Necron's focus lies on Trazyn and his meme-y ways. It gives a lot of people a fairly goofy outlook on the Necrons. This really made them seem as threatening as they really are.

[@josefstalin9678]

Did we watch the same video? That destroyer lord was a total pushover. He put up less of a fight than the regular skorpekh destroyer in the official Pariah Nexus animations. The flayers being taken out easily isn't really surprising, but the fact that they killed a destroyer lord so easily really takes away from this video for me.

[@Trehlas]

@@josefstalin9678 Not really relevant, space marines have plot armor, space marines will always have plot armor. They're making an effort to make the Necrons look like a terrifying ancient menace. Not just... Egyptian space robots.

@@Trehlas Not relevant? How? This video and Pariah Nexus are both trying to make the necrons seem threatening but only Pariah Nexus actually succeeds for the reasons I pointed out.

Again, just look at something like Space Marine 2, Pariah Nexus, The Tithes, or even Astartes for proof of this.

They had a kill team working together ....both being dominant and on the back foot ... Their experience came out in how they worked together and set everything up. We have base necrons not really providing much of an issue as it should be. We have a boss character that requires the squad to work together An initial blast uses up the shields power ...the second eats the specialised material .... It was fairly balanced. None of the marines in trouble unless they didn't draw on their experience. Will say this though ...no firstborn ..... Tbh ...this is what I imagine first born dealing with it to be like .... Primaris which are supposed to be stronger and faster ..I expect more of a swift ending to imply that.
