@@wikoroo2366 Reaction speeds and tactical/strategic thinking are definitely where the Spartans come out on top. Spartan IIs can process and react to information in nanoseconds and they're given a complete education of human warfare throughout history. The Space Marines are only taught the battle doctrines of their chapter, chapters typically specializing in a narrow aspect of war. And the Codex Astartes, a book which has only been updated once in over 10,000 years because of the Tyranids, due mainly to dogmatic Reverence for its author. The Space Marines operate with a fractured, incomplete and non-innovative understanding of how to wage war.

Fun Fact: The Deathwatch is a unique Space Marine Chapter under the jurisdiction of the Inquisition's Ordo Xenos. Unlike other Chapters, who share the same geneseed lineage, the Deathwatch is comprised of veterans from all Chapters. Service in the Deathwatch is typically supposed to be temporary, with many seeing it as an honor to serve, and will return to their chapter once their service has been fulfilled. As such, they will wear the symbol of their Chapter of origin on one of their pauldrons. For example: Darius - Dark Angels Beren - Black Templars Ulfar - Space Wolves Kelstros - Blood Angels There are, however, cases where a Space Marine chooses to stay with the Deathwatch permanently. Either because they were disowned by their Chapter of origin and serve in the Deathwatch as penance, or because they believe that they serve the Emperor best as part of the Deathwatch. These are the Blackshields, and they paint over the Chapter of origin black to signify that they belong to the Deathwatch.

[@watchm4ker]

Warhammer 40k is one of them massive and ancient franchises who's appeal and be explained through the passionate recitation through it's fandom's oral tradition. It's the kind of thing that sells itself on it's concepts. Just watching a few recommended lore vids from people who you know really like this can do wonders for making it sound like the coolest thing ever. You can be a warhammer fan who knows way too much about the lore and never read a single book, play a single game, or paint a single miniature. It's a world that truly has a grasp on being larger than life.

_Severely_ watered down Space Marines. I've seen people who believe John-117 could kill an Astartes, but personally believe that is EXCLUSIVELY if it was a newly minted Battle Brother (even that's generous, more reasonable to say Scout Marine), John had access to the heaviest weaponry possible and the Astartes in question was gravely wounded. Even his BS 'luck' superpwer can only go so far when up against a monster like a Space Marine. No exaggeration to say they could fight a Mgalekgolo in hand-to-hand and pull off an easy victory.

A tiny primer on 40k: - Humanity spread through the stars and became wholly seperated from each other, the idea of humans on other worlds became a myth for god knows how long - A literal timeless Ubermench atheist guy (why he was a superman is unimportant) decides he wants to usher humanity into a reason-based utopia (through horrible violence, obviously). He uses his super-genes to create super-soldiers so he can conquer the galaxy. He does. - To his (and everyone's) horror, turns out demons are real, and every alien in the universe wants everyone else dead. - In a twist of dramatic irony, after the Emperor's death, having styled himself as a sort of secular god, his followers worship his ambiguously haunted and / or semi-alive corpse. - His empire, which was already pretty awful, becomes many magnetudes more awful in it's bid for survival against the xenos and the forces of Chaos. The majority of humanity is essentially enslaved, and humankind lives in a perpetual state of semi-justified xenophobic paranoia. Humanity's knowledge slides milennia backwards and is replaced by blind faith and hatred-fueled willpower.

[@Miko101]

​@@jeffk862 The standard bolt is set to .75 calibre, whereas Heavy Bolter rounds are larger, at 1.00 calibre Standard Bolts In bolts, a tiny amount of conventional explosive charge is utilised alongside rocket propellant. This charge is just strong enough to force the bolt out of the barrel and ignite its propellant. The rocket-propellant is carefully fused to ignite just after leaving the barrel, alleviating any possibility of pressure build-up. The bolt then accelerates away towards the target under its own power. Standard Bolter ammunition is designed to penetrate the target and then detonate, causing immense damage and leaving little opportunity for survival. The standard Bolt Round consists of: BS Standard bolt A solid-fuel rocket propellant base An outer casing containing conventional charge Gyrostabiliser Mass-reactive fuse. Has a split-second timer to delay detonation upon impact until after the shot penetrates the target. Hardened diamantine penetrating tip. This allows for the bolt to penetrate most armour before detonation. Main Explosive Charge Dense metallic core. This is a very dense material, adding weight and thus momentum to the round when in flight. This aids in the bolt's penetration of the target

[@colbyboucher6391]

Also, I think it's important to understand that Gears looks the way it does largely because it's literally a bunch of action figures smashing together. Space Marines look the way they do because big chonky guys are fun to paint. I think that sense of childishness mixed with the deathly serious tone is part of what gives 40k it's charm.

The metal ports in Titus' body are just import jacks for astartes power armor. One of the main things with space marines are power armor in 40k is kind of the best protection you can have as a human and it boost the wears strength but it's also a bit cumbersome. Space marines have a version that plugs into the nervous system so the armor can react like it's a second skin making the marine very fast and nimble but to do that you need to put a bunch of extra organs and cybernetics in them.

Warhammer 40k Adeptus Astartes/Space Marines are trained as children 11 to 12 years old. Put through indoctrination and brutal, horrifying training and then surgically implanted with gene-seed organs that transforms them into nearly immortal supersoldeirs. In the Imperium of Man (main faction of Humanity) most civilians will go throughout their lives without even seeing a Space Marine. They are viewed as the Emperor's Angels of Death. Plus human families willingly give their children to be trained to become Space Marines and is considered a great honour. But bittersweet because they will never see their sons again.

Getting into the lore of Warhammer 40k is going to be a chore because it's told across dozens of books, but if you want to see Space Marines being space marines, check out the fan animation, Astartes (I think I spelled that correctly). Also, think of the Tyranids as a mix of the Flood from Halo and the xenomorphs in the Alien movies. They are an existential threat to all life in the galaxy a terrifying force of biological horror. Under the direction of the hive mind, they consume ALL biomass from a planet, leaving nothing but barren rocks behind, a fleet even carved a wave of dead planets in their wake. They use the biomass to multiply and grow. Each bit of information and conscious knowledge from their prey is added to the hive mind collective. Take out one tyranid, and it'll simply be replaced using biomass. Nobody knows the origin of the Tyranids, nobody knows just how many tyranids there are. And my brother picked them for his army. Yeah, Warhammer 40k is an army simulator tabletop game. A lot of the lore is fluff that explains the context as exposition. You don't technically need it to enjoy Warhammer 40k. But it is an expensive hobby, so watch your wallet if you ever decide to get into the tabletop experience. No shame if you just play the video games. I was first exposed to the franchise through the PS2 game Fire Warrior. Which is partially why I picked the Tau.

Welcome to the grim darkness of the far future. It's fucking wild, the lore is a deep deep rabbit hole. Warhammer 40k has been around since 1987.

[@pokemastercube]

warhammer 40k has been going for nearly 40 years now, but if you want a good (and long) story the 30k era has a really strong saga of books called the horus heresy, its a major foundation of why the imprium is how it is

[@peterjensen2483]

Your reading of the intro was top notch - you have a great voice for it

[@StarBornMichael]

We now DEE to be loved by the Emperor FOR THE EMPEROR!!!????

[@eyesweyedopen4599]

And so began Dee's Warhammer 40k arc

[@danelarocque5021]

A very underrated, but great intro to 40k and the lore is Arbitor Ian's vid called WARHAMMER 40k TIMELINE IN 20 MINS. In that, I feel he covers the timeline extremely well for people new to the 40k universe.

[@HistoritorJimaldus]

Yep his style is great 👍

[@Dr.Mlieko]

Since you asked, super quick rundown The Warhammer 40000 tabletop game (40k for short) originally began back in the 1980s, as a sci-fi themed spin-off of Warhammer fantasy battles (which is why many of the early aliens in 40k are based on stock fantasy creatures like orcs, elves, and dwarves - Tyranids were a later addition, and were primarily inspired by xenomorphs from the Alien movies and the Arachnids from Starship Troopers) It is HEAVILY inspired by the DUNE and Starship Troopers novel series, as well as the Eternal Champion novels by Michael Moorcock (especially The History of the Runestaff, Song of the Black Sword, and The Dancers at the End of Time)

For the Emperor! Welcome to the Crusade brother! Or alternatively... Death to the Corpse Emperor! Welcome to the Crusade Brother!

[@BryanL]

I just love it when people get sucked into this rabbithole, welcome!

[@zebrion5793]

We welcome another chapter brother. The Emperor Protects!

[@holymann2251]

40:43 Quality seal of approval 👍

[@PsychoGoldVideos]

Watching this after seeing your journey through the lore was so much fun. Things you now know you did not and it's so amusing seeing you come up with the questions that you now have the answers to XD

[@DeeBeeGeek]

It’s the best decision I ever made. Learning the lore makes this game so much more enjoyable and impactful.

[@PsychoGoldVideos]

@DeeBeeGeek Hell yeah dude. I'm so excited to watch through the series now I've got a few hours into the game. Nearly to the end of part 2 as we speak!

[@anderos_oficial]

The momento you have to say: it is time to show him the Bricky collection about Warhammer.

[@lyken4]

Love how you are so into it. 40K rules!!!

[@minkalampinen9519]

Welcome to the deepest darkest rabbit hole in scifi! Remember: The Emperor protects!

[@NightL3gacy47]

I'm also just getting into Warhammer. I know nothing of the game and the only one I've played is Boltgun. This gsme looks amazing and I'd love to see more!

[@Tapero]

My face, when someone doesn't start their adventure with WH40k from two hour-long lore video about every fractions lore: 😮

[@chozochiefxiii3298]

Luetin09 is the go to guy for warhammer lore. His coverage of the material is ridiculously in depth and detailed.

[@DamonDemolition]

Welcome to Warhammer! Consider watching the videos by Bricky "Every single Warhammer 40k Faction Explained" to get an awesome overlook about the world and the races. It's def worth it!

[@zeroknight1311]

So while not too familiar with the lore, I do know a few things. 1. There are multiple armies/factions/chapters within the Imperium. All of them are unique. 2. It's not uncommon for soldiers to gain the respect of the a Space Marine. It's depends on the soldier and the Space Marine that's in the same place. 3. I think, there is a chapter Master who is a wise and chill old man. I might be wrong. Also, I just realized that the Space Marines could have been an inspiration for the Brotherhood of Steel from the Fallout series. Namely due to how there are chapters which are all different from each other, very into their codex, xenophobic, and have since strayed away from their first leader's beliefs.

[@dagonofthedepths]

I think your talking about Lord Commander Dante but really most chapter masters are pretty old. Most space marine vets are over 200 and what is "old" is a chapter to chapter thing. Like I think the chapter master of the Ultramarines is like 400 but you go to the space wolves and Logan is around 800 and Dante is 1500+ all of them are really considered the old dogs of their respective chapters.

[@jbubu1174]

You are kinda right, to be précise every chapter is 1k Space marines lead by in fact one chapter master who prove himself throught combat he is worthy. Every chapter come from a waaaay larger army called légion (about 100k marines at least), but they were dispatch in chapter of 1000 marines to avoid a too powerfull army turning back to the imperium, after a massive rebellion back in the 30th millenia.

[@customizablemilk353]

still so crazy to me that it took exactly 13 years for a sequel to come out. ive been craving spacemarine 2 since i finished the first game back in 2011.

[@BillWD]

I collect tyranid and deathwatch armies (including others), so this into made me very happy. The lore is vast and detailed, enjoy your journey!

[@dekai7992]

40k fan of 25 years here. I'd be happy to join you in your crusade deeper into the Space Marine 2 campaign and the 40k universe as a whole.

[@ChaseKindler]

I love watching people's reaction to warhammer 40k for the first time! its the best!

[@nukem8128]

Definitely watch brickys videos on 40k. A good 20k ft view of the 40k universe. Perfect place to start because 40k has a massive (bloated) amount of awesome lore.

[@nicholasbenavides4215]

Man needs to react to the Astartes Short Film. I also recommend Bricky’s Legion video for an introduction, and a (relatively) medium sized channel called Islander and Koda for finer detail on certain factions.

[@crim50nr8er]

I do hope you continue this series, ESPECIALLY with a friend. I'm sure it'll be LOADS of fun for you all to go through the Imperium to rid the galaxy of all Xenos. As for lore stuff to react to, If you don't mind reading some books, I highly recommend the Horus Herecy book series that goes over the history of the greatest betrayal the Imperium of Man has ever faced in its lifetime.

[@monseigneurlerichelieu7739]

Great reaction!🤘If you’re looking for a lore introduction, I suggest : Luetin’s “WTF is warhammer 40k”. Good overview of the different sides of the hobby too. Luetin’s the very best in 40k lore vid for me, alongside Baldermort, who has more of a lyrical and creative writing approach. Then Bricky’s “every warhammer faction in a nutshell” part 1 and two”. A lot of info well paced and funny. Both could be good reactions as well.

[@temmietim1023]

Warhammer 40K is a deep rabbit hole on lore, so buckle up buddy, it's a hell of a ride!

[@tastygravy6880]

Trust me bro, get into 40k, playing these games knowing the lore just makes me geek out!

[@greenrabbit860]

a single space marine, a single freshly put into his armor space marine would absolutely wipe out an entire platoon from gears of war without breaking a sweat

[@Musabre]

First time playing 40k and already passing the vibe check in the tutorial, you're gonna gel with this so well my man xD . DEATH TO XENOS!

[@HappyHungrySleepy23]

watching new people get introduced to Warhammer 40k makes me happy lol

[@alexkramerblogs]

From "I don't really know the lore" To "THAT WAS MY BROTHER!!" in record time

[@Game_Lover98]

I HIGHLY recommend Bricky’s lore videos on Warhammer 40K as he has videos on all the different factions within the 40K universe, the timeline, and he has videos breaking down all the different parts within the Imperium (humanity). Those lore videos are geared towards newcomers and was actually how I was introduced into the lore for 40K.
