What topic should we cover next? Let us know in the comments below!

[@josephvizinat22]

Grey knights plz!

[@FatGouf]

Salamanders and Space Wolves are one of the very few who allow, even encourage their ranks to return to their homeworld and visit their families, or descendants

[@austenashtree9542]

Ultramarines are also encouraged to engage in politics and visit their family's when off duty in the Ultima sector

[@G_Signer]

Girlyman should update his codex so that chapters can have more marines, cause so many chapters get wiped in all these different ork or tyranid wars that its just necessary to allow them more recruitment, or you just have to establish new chapters again and again, which is kind of counterproductive

[@RobertoGuillermoGOAT]

Say no more fam

[@craigjones7343]

Bobby already said codex astartes was not intended to be a bible, that is should have been updates as the times needed, and it was a guideline not a rigid book of absolute law.

[@anotheryoutubeuser5379]

@@RobertoGuillermoGOAT HOLY SHIT

[@blueline4857]

The limit of a thousand isn’t technically a hard limit as Chapters can and often do exceed that limit when recruitment swells. The limit is more of a general concept, because the Codex was made in wake of the Horus Heresy- where one man had too much control over the Marines. The point of the Chapter system is to insure no one individual has too many followers. It’s why Guilliman also split the Imperial Army into the Guard and Navy at the time- to insure no one has too much power. However nowadays it’s accepted and enforced by Guilliman that a Chapter can exceed the thousand man limit because of how messed up the Era Indomitus is, so long as they don’t go about Legion building.

[@moodyowlproductions4287]

The codex is more guidelines then actual rules

[@freddyboy5412]

6:06 Sorry but for Blood angels yellow helmets are used for fast attack squads such as assault squads, biker squads' speeders etc. The rank of a sergeant is shown with black shoulder pads👍

[@Arctik39]

I was just about to comment that haha. You beat me to it. If anyone else is curious, note that Gold helmets in the Blood Angels denote Veterans, blue helmets for heavy weapons.

[@bobincognito]

I love watching 40k content while being higher than a imperial navy vessel

[@zerlz9078]

The image of the space marine chilling at a Renaissance festival, with helmet on, is the funniest thing I've seen in a while😂

[@shockwave6213]

Just a note for anyone wondering why Grey Knight Neophytes don't see battle until they've completed their augmentation and training: Every Grey Knight is a Psyker and EXTRAORDINARILY valuable even by Space Marine standards. Sending an undertrained and unprepared Psyker into battle before they're ready is not only a danger to themselves, but to the entire company. The Grey Knights specialize in taking on manifested Daemon hordes and if a Psyker is not ready, they can fall under Daemonic possession and that's a horrific prospect for anyone on the entire planet.

[@sheogorath-the-incrazy]

13:16 That's the cutest thing I ever saw

[@marsguy4079]

One thing you should have done was explain where they stand in relationship to the guards-men. Oddly enough, a regular new space marine battle brother outranks astra militarum sargents.

[@dimadobrik4516]

Imagine a Space Marine being ordered around by a normal dude tho haha

[@captaincoolbreeze9429]

Generally, Space Marines abide by their own command structure for most operations. Of course a guard General commanding some large scale system or sector campaign will rank over Space Marines elements that are involved or an Inquisitor could command elements of Space Marines.

[@user-ic1gf8pg9m]

i need a sweater wearing marine statue lol

[@cremedrip]

You have to cover the Siege of Terra.

[@camstech1]

Love your channel man, as a new space marine player I'd really love to see a lore coverage of the different types of space marines, especially chapter specific ones

[@jayl2897]

"Cato Tigurius" ahahaha great video though!

[@MoreLoreYT]

Good catch! We were trying to write "Varro" but then the 2nd Captain busted down our door and yelled at us for not writing about him yet.

[@miek3858]

Awesome video! Great production and you always break it down well

[@bobbob-qy3fw]

Thank u! So educational and easy to digest Also the art was badass and kept me engaged haha

[@jefferydean6239]

So smart for new viewers. Thanks

[@Tyler.O]

Excellent video

[@AshuragaBenign]

So if I'm getting this right.. You start as an Aspirant, and if you have psychic potential, you get trained to become a Librarian. If you survive, you become a Battle Brother in a company, if you are better than your brothers at combat and leading, you become a Sergeant. If you wanna be specialized, then you can become a Apothecary, a Techmarine and a Chaplain. Then some unassigned ranks like Veterans, even Veterans get their own Sergeants, and the top ranks are Lieutenants and Captains, controlling the entire company. Of course, the real top rank is Chapter Master. That is so much more simpler than the Guard to be honest, but i guess it fits, only the best of the best become Space Marines, and the standards increase with it. If you're a guardsman, even if you're a top ranker, one shot and you're dead, you're squad's morale has broken and they've scattered to the wind. But not the eSpesh Marhens, not the boys in blue, or red, or jet black, or green, or white, snow gray, or dark green.

[@jasonmaclean719]

Just began learning about warhammer, only because of the female custodes controversy. But I have to admit it's some pretty cool shit. No wonder it's been around for decades.

[@TheDragonKnight98]

It was wonderful, one of the best sci-fi ever created. Until the parasitic hands of Blackrocks and other parasitic entities alike touched it with their unclean hands.

[@martinmegard5535]

It would be cool if you did a separate video on the different battlefield roles that a battle brother can take on

[@WafflesYo]

"Lieutenants were brought back" yeah...maybe a little too much..

Great videos mate. Keep them coming. Any chance of a Necron dynasties video?

[@Rawls9805]

What about a video about the Orks and what makes them formidable? I’m new to 40k stuff, and so far the Orks seem pretty funny. Though the only 2 things I know about them is they get bigger with age and that purple is a sneaky color.

[@richardsandy6080]

Purple sneaky. Red fast. Yellow goes boom. Biggest ork best ork, biggest choppa best choppa, guns need as much dakka as possible to be best gun. Congratulations, you are now well versed in Ork culture.

[@iDog-kv8nc]

Yellow is da richest color, blue is da luckiest color, red is da fastest color, purple is da sneakiest color. The #1 thing to know about Orks is that if they believe, it’s real. There’s a theory that the whole reason the 40K universe is at war is because the Orks believe everyone is continually fighting

[@themane8980]

Hi where could I get the comics at ? can you send the link for them please !

[@QuixoticCowboy]

I am pretty new to the lore and have a question with regard to the Primarch thing: But would the Primarchs not fall back into their role of leading their respective legion now that GW is waking them up or finding them one by one? I mean sure right now Guilliman leads all Space Marines, but with the Lion returning and I assume Rogal Dorne or Lehman Russ being next (I really hope it isn't Russ) I doubt they will just let Robute keep authority. I could not think of any loyalist primarch that all the others would agree to hold a role that is essentially the role of warmaster, other then the angel Sanguinius. If I recall this was even an Idea before the Heresy and the loyalists tried to start an empire 2.0 with the Angel at its helm. So in short, the more primarchs come back the more defined their roles will be, or am I mistaken?

[@brucefernandez14]

Hi! im starting to get into warhammer can you tell me the name of the comic used in this video? the part explaining about the aspirants, thanks

Two things. 1. Thanks for stating that LT is an old Legion rank that was brought back. everyone seems to forget that it's not a new rank. 2. Blood claws are not neophytes. They are squads(packs) of full battle brothers that will stay together till they all die.

[@user-zx5yv3yv6l]

Bruh you forgot about legion masters who lead the legions before the primarchs were found

[@TheEyez187]

0:50 - The very best of what humanity has to offer; I didn't realize Spartanesque Psycho children were the best we have to offer! Actually I take that back, can you imagine them trying to find aspirants in the current day with the current generation of kids; well no TBF they might make it in to the II and XI legions/chapters! Scrap that, the Mars forge world would have an absolutely massive influx of servitors; they're never separated from devices, the mechanicum would hook them up!! :D

[@jansandman6983]

In real life military or police spec ops combat fireteams, there is no such thing as a captain leading a "squad," except for very drastic and emergency situational occurrences or in most cases a squad of high tier clandestine operators (1st and 2nd Coy in WH40k value). Meanwhile in WH40k Captains occasionally go land fall with squads belonging to 3rd to 8th Company space marines. Which in military hindsight is highly unlikely. And a movie I saw titled Ultra Marines a Captain and an apothecary made landfall with an obvious squad from 9th Company.

[@Chasta1n42]

Has there ever been a space marine that died of something non malicious (old age, cancer, something like that)?

[@genericusername5001]

This is my first first

[@shard8285]

And my billionth second

[@nicholasjoseph9062]

for a minute there i thought u meant Cato Sicaruis was a psyker

[@user-ic1gf8pg9m]

i was wondering how long does a space marine live like whats there life span?

[@Saturn_Studios16]

Yes??? I mean I don't think it's really known beacause there are some really old marines Dante for instance is about 1300 years old (he's the chapter master of the blood angels THAT WASNT MENTIONED DESPITE BEING MORE POPULAR THAN THE ENTIRE BLOOD RAVENS CHAPTER, not annoyed at all) so kinda unknown but theoretically thousands of years. Don't take my word though.

[@Overanalyse_This]

I find it weird the chaplains (aka priests) have the coolest and most metal (well, bone buy YKWIM) helmets. Those skull helms with the red eyes and extra bits look sick AF!

[@watchonjar]

It's pronounced "left tennant" since gw is a British company

[@hairysticks74]

Yep. This gets my goat a little. We do say it wrong here in Britain though, so maybe I shouldn't care too much 😂

[@blueline4857]

One nitpick; Technically, Chapters did exist in the Legions. The Legions were split into Chapters, then Companies, then Squads. Not all Legions had Chapters or Companies as we know them, but many did. For instance, the Ultramarines Legion was organized into 25 Chapters of ten Companies each, with each Company being a thousand strong. A majority of the Legions used the Chapter organization in between the Company element and the wider Legion sized group. The Imperial Fists, Dark Angels, Night Lords, Raven Guard, and Emperor’s Children all organized themselves along such lines. Other Legions had similar organizational concepts, with the Iron Warriors using a Grand Company composed of regular Battle Companies, or the Salamanders having several Realms composed of normal sized Companies.

[@captaincoolbreeze9429]

So Guilliman organized all Space Marines Chapters after the Horus Heresy like those of his own legion.

[@blueline4857]

@@captaincoolbreeze9429 More or less. He saw it as an efficient system and he also wanted to make sure no one individual had too much power in the Imperium- since Horus was Warmaster and we know what he did with that much power. Ultimately Guilliman wanted each Chapter to be a small entity that is dependent on the wider Imperium and wouldn’t be able to revolt- it’s also why he split the Imperial Army into the Guard and Navy.

[@andrewvalentine6977]

I'm not that familiar with the lore. Ages ago I played Dawn of War on the PC and that for awhile was my sole knowledge of that universe. Recently I've fallen the youtuber rabbit hole of 40k trying to learn abit more lore and saw Bricky's video explaining the various space marine factions. I could swarn the space marine faction in Dawn of War was the Blood Ravens but I never saw them mentioned and was unsure if I had it wrong or if they were just an unmentioned chapter. The end of this video mentioned a champion of the Blood Ravens which meant I didn't get it wrong. Could someone please give me a little more info? like what faction are they?

[@bendeguzvarga816]

Fighting as equals doesn't make sense in a military perspective. You must always be able to decide who makes the decision between two fighters. That's why seniority exists in military. Even if you are the same rank the older becames the leaser

[@RAZZTER12]

I think during combat space marines defer to who they know to be the leader type A lot of Gaurd units straight up ignore sergeants and listen to the person they know (or feel) will get them out alive. It happens in real life too, not fishing for likes but I can say that from experience. Plus when you live hundreds of years you figure out who knows what. They have ranks that make decisions, but between battle brothers they will have their own system. Just my opinion, although I have just been listening to the Tanith novels, and the same subject is covered by the in universe Guardsmen. So I'd assume it applied to astartes even more so.

[@bendeguzvarga816]

@@RAZZTER12 I agree with you that it's the shared interest of everyone that smn who has good leadership skills should actually lead a unit instead of smn who was just pointed out. And in a good military this talent should be recognized and given a higher rank. But my point is that there are situations when making the bad decision fastly and confidently is better than making the good decision slowly and hesitantly. So if there is two confident and charismatic space marine are convinced that they have the right answer to solve the problem than it's already a waste of time to decide it. As if a platoon leader and some lower rank from the platoon disagrees on something it's immediately decided which option to choose.

[@bendeguzvarga816]

@@RAZZTER12 But I get your point and that system can definitely work too. It's just has different kind of advantages and disadvantages.
