Secret Level Warhammer 40,000 Review and Breakdown + Amazon Show Confirmed!

[@ThienNguyen-ez7si]

I think Titus's resistance to the Warp is beyond just his belief in the Emperor. As shown in this scene, the Sorcerer is kinna showing the individual Astartes contradictions of themselves. And their space marine part always win over their human part. But for Titus, he knows who he is, his sheer conviction in himself as an individual, not just an Astartes or a normal human, sort of anchor him in some ways.

[@jayhayles]

Reminds me of Ibram Gaunt's conviction and belief being his shield against the taint of Chaos in Gaunts Ghosts series. Power of belief is huuuuuge in the setting. Just look at Orks being able to believe their machines and weapons into working.

[@Zolwiol]

Titus is at peace with who he is. He also is very aware of his limitations and perks of his station. He wants to be able to challenge the status quo but not overthrow it. Small steps instead of revolution. He is very stable in his perception of self that's why chaos can't get a hook in. It's an incredible feat of mental stability.

I thought the demon/sorcerer was showing them their fears. First marine was afraid that without the armour he is nothing, that's why he gets killed by it naked. The sergeant was afraid that Titus, the marine he chose, is corrupt (you can see him growing chaos iconography from his armour in the vision). But Titus ain't afraid of no demon, that's why it didn't affect him, hence the name of the episode.

[@joelrafael8857]

The beauty of this short, the care in this is amazing. Little words, actions that just left you thinking. The blood, gore and movement... the movement looks so amazing. This is what we want and what we need.

[@br3030]

it is a rare case of astartes strength speed and skill coming across on screen

[@jamesbaurus5928]

It also comes off as the astartes doing all this through better physiology and technology. Their speed and power feels visceral and physically based. In a lot of media, super speed looks like magicy or teleporting or floaty and super strength looks like it comes out of no where instead of overwhelmingly physical like it appears in the famous short.

[@Green_Phos]

@@br3030 exactly. Even GW's own animated shows just portrays them as fast but not the _super human_ fast they're really supposed to be. There's so many instances in black library books where they mention how baseline humans can't even process the speed of them. This was always my biggest disappointment with on screen space marines... until now.

[@dubmcz]

Brother, i've never been so geeked out in my life. Secret Level should get 10/10 and that is solely riding on the shoulders of the Warhammer episode. The episode was on brand and curated as a love letter to gamers and ESPECIALLY 40K fans, but i truly hope Amazon doesn't try to re-invent the wheel and realizes that THIS is the way, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. MORE OF THIS, that's it.

[@sabalmal1288]

I feel like Titus is the Ultramarines version of Sigismund. Maybe his gene seed was highly compatable or his was pure.

[@servalkorion686]

Titus is going to become as legendary as Dante one day & be Guilliman's greatest son

[@meechtsm]

My feeling is that the Emperor was not at work here. Titus is without fear, which meant that the sorcerer of Tzeentch couldn't use his fears against him. The other marines seemed to die from their own fears. Titus' mentor feared Titus because he was without fear, which is why he appeared in his delusion.

[@aguspuig6615]

I saw this take on CounterPoints and it definetly feels like the coolest one so far to me.

[@Green_Phos]

There are so many awesome moments in this episode but I _LOVED_ when the purity seals burned away as they closed in on the Tzeentch sorcerer. Such an amazingly cool little detail. Also, when they fight the cultists on the surface, that's the first time I can remember, in any series, them _actually_ showing just how fast space marines truly are. All of the books constantly mention how they are "faster than anything that size should ever be". To think, when _space marines_ watch Primarchs fight, they say the same thing. They move faster than _an astartes_ can even register them.

[@generaljedi8691]

Same, the purity seals burning was a detail I dont think I've ever seen anyone else use. The CQC was great with the cultists because of how fluid and effortless it is for them, but it shows the POWER Space Marines have. Like some cultists are cut cleanly, but other are punched and are just instantly sent flying or into the ground, and then titus just runs through a vehicle. The walking tanks of martial prowess are really shown in this short!

[@Green_Phos]

@@generaljedi8691 my first thought after seeing that was "ok, how can I recreate that on a model?" lol

[@c3ramics]

Them tearing down those cultists is such a brutal visual into what the great crusade was like in the Horus heresy novels. No hesitation on using their overwhelming force on weaker opponents.

[@WorldEaterTaz]

This Secret Level Warhammer episode is one of the best official productions yet. It's on the level of the YT Astartes video.

​@@Jake-c5e6nMaybe a scene of their scattering by the chaos gods. Would be a cool way to tease all 20 but to keep it vague enough to where nobody can figure anything out.

[@benny2742]

So there's a bilion things that comes to mind after watching this thing of absolute God level artistry. 1. Ultramarines are "my dudes" since 1992. (in reality I don't recall knowing they were called that then, I just knew Space Marines are blue) Since learning about the Legions I favored Ultramarines just because they were the colour I remembered when I first stumbled upon the tabletop game. 2. How they were depicted in this episode reminds me so much of the book Know no fear by Dan Abnett. "A child without fear", instantly made me think of that book and how the Wordbearers described the Ultramarines. Certainly Ultramarines were just betrayed and had a very darker tone to them in pursuit of vengance. They know what has to be done and they operate majesticly. 3. I found it simply amazing that they dragged a Psycher of sorts with them. I really want to just ask him one thing: How was the ride down in the drop pod? Also that drop in the chasm, did you even feel that after that the drop pod? And finally did you know they would only let you out of the box if you stand infront of a Greater demon`? This is the grim dark for me and it has its humor with it.

[@GoalOrientedLifting]

the way they used that psyker and how they transported him is so insanely warhammer 40k

[@dean_l33]

You sure you didn't mix it up with the Crimson Fist? Back then it was those guys that were the poster boy and they wore blue, white and red a lot like the Ultramarines

[@Gunnberg85]

I'm predicting that Leandros will go from Titus' greatest critic to his greatest advocate once he's convinced that Titus has been touched by the Emperor. Leandros has obviously grown into the roll of a religious zealot. Once Titus proves that he has crossed the line from potential heretic to touched by the devine, Leandros will have little choice but to become a herald for Titus.

[@johnallan4030]

Personally I think Animation is the best way forward for 40k. I worry that there's simply too much lore and depth to be realistically translated well to film. Especially when you are thinking about the longevity and constant availability of actors. They need to learn from some of the pains the MCU has gone through, if they try to cut corners or make silly lore decisions to squeeze as many storylines/characters into a limited number of films I fear for them. The saving grace is Henry Cavill being such a fan. Here's hoping. Secret Level episode was absolutely fantastic. More of this please.

[@zaarkeru3391]

Gaunts ghosts could work well as a live action series. Same with eisenhorn. But mainly astartes content should be animated, as it's basically impossible to show them if fairly in a live action medium.

My theory on Titus prior to SM2 was he had some geneseed from one of the lost legions. How it was said they were absorbed into the ultramarines and fists. The other geneseed granting him a boon against the warp. The game’s ending kind of killed that.

[@GabrielLopez-mo2xo]

Okay but I cannot be the only one who saw the sorcerer and thought “wait what is slannesh doing here” all of its vibe strikes me as slanneshi it’s thin, agile, weirdly sensual in how it touches the space marines, a glass cannon, and has that whole elegant exterior that hides a horrible interior

[@zaarkeru3391]

That's not a bad setup. It would also make it easy to feel what the fans think and want. Though, my idea is that it's going to be something like Eisenhorn, Caphias Cain or Gaunts ghosts Especially Gaunts Ghosts, as the books can be (almost) translated 1-to-1 into a series script.

[@TheAgentmigs]

I love how there's a economy of movement with the Space Marines. An efficiency. They're professionals. They act like they've been there before. They don't do overly flashy moves, (like Star Wars lightsaber fights). They pursue the objective with stoicism and calm. Theres no BROTHA BROTHA! or any of that bullshit. This treatment really handles the subject material with a sense of maturity rather than trying to make it into a Marvel clone where the characters are having pun filled conversations mid-fight. If GW handles their IP with this level of detail and care then the sky is the limit.

[@aguspuig6615]

I think they can have great examples of more flashy, banter filled fights, but i wont deny i love that the first foray into animation from a big company has this level of seriousness. I really dont want 40k to just be seen as the silly satire universe. Tho a fight were marines are bantering inside their helmets trough the vox network, seeing who gets more kills and such could also be fun, if its a chapter that is more prone to do that like the Salamanders, and ofc a more low stakes fight. No marine would drop a quip while fighting a greater daemon, but they could surely do that fighting cultists.

Dunno just some thought play. Like do we find out that Titus has a hand in Gilmans reserection or a hand in something making girlyman rise more to influence the greater imperium. And that's why the changer of ways and chaos is trying to stop Titus is some greater plan.

[@BeckiMuttley]

Titus is like a 40k Raldoron, a true hero of the imperium.

[@DunCannon]

I would have loved some more dialogue between the Marines. In Astartes not hearing the comms was great, as a stylistic choice it worked so well to show what the SMs are to their foes AND allies. BUT putting us in the helmets, in the Secret Level short, to see their eyes should have come with some combat chatter. Other than that it was great :)

[@Soul-HunterVIII]

I'm surprised more people didn't mention this. But what if the Warhammer show is about The Emperor and Valdor\Malcador are the main characters and they explain who and what the Emperor is and who his sons are. So it could have the Primarchs during the Great Crusade and explain what the Emperor is. Because I feel explaining who The Emperor is would be very important to new viewers and people to the universe. plus, it would be an awesome story line, even for veteran 40k fans, because one thing we all want is more lore on The Emperor. Having Malcador and Valdor as the main characters would be so cool, you would have the human side with Malcador as a Gandalf like character and Valdor being the super human hero. I just really think introducing the universe with The Emperor would explain stuff to a new crowd and it would highly interest long time 40k fans. It would be unique too, because there has never been stories soley about whom the Emperor is.

[@KaosandRiot]

It almost mirrors the Syma Astartes in story and flow. His name are in the credits so hopefully he was a huge influence I want more, this was just an appetizer. The reviews and feedback online has been overall positive, so hopefully this encourages Amazon to keep pushing material I really want a Horus Heresy series but that’s years of production and content. Of course the books already lay out story and dialogue If walking dead can be around forever, so can Warhammer but the story evolves, unlike walking dead which is wash rinse repeat for season after season

[@skullsquad900]

My theory is that Titus' family was being sacrificed to Khorn and he escaped by sheer Rage and Brutality, and possibly even Khorns favor as he would definitely be the underdog in that fight. Which could be why Chaos wants him so badly as the connection is already there. But through the Marine Indoctrination process and hatred of Chaos for what they did (even if he doesn't remember it) he powers through all Corruption. While the God Emporer uses that same connection to help. So my guess is that he is going to inevitably face his final test where he will choose between Chaos or the Emporer.

When it comes to Chaos "preferring that people are around", I actually would really love to see Magnus come to the defense of Terra.

I think he's very much an exemplar of what the emperor values, but physically, the emperor's most common outward appearance is as a bronze/brown skin, longish face, Mediterranean/Persian/Near East mashup. That's very different than titus imo

[@aguspuig6615]

@@jamesbaurus5928 Eh they kinda look the same with different races. Both have that long-ish face gigachad look. But yeah i would agree the resemblance might be more in values or mindset than looks

[@S1mpski]

i wanna see some world eaters and space wolves, but the secret level episode was great as well

[@xelasoccer]

After watching this episode of Secret Level I think I need to play Space Marine 2

[@marcbhoy2811]

If titus brakes a demon infused sword in front of a grey Knight what do you think will happen

[@AAC1714]

Dude I have plenty of cinematic space marine two footage I go out of my way for pictures and likewise. How would I go about sending it In/ helping out i run blood angels most often and am rather great at the game according to my buddies

the Sargeant is not the same companion from the game ? I was confused about that because it could not have been

[@azrael1045]

Ultramarines are the new space marine meta

[@aglargalad]

I'm just here for the voice ASMR ❤❤

[@evilpixie96]

could titus be the starchild still angry at being ripped from the emperor

[@someguyyeah33]

Why are most of these episodes not on your channel?

[@SandmanofTerra]

They're lives so on the live tab

[@Picassoturtlenumba5]

Maybe Titus has a different gene seed from a forgotten....or purged stock.

[@deshawncruz]

I belive Titus is gonna be grown to show he has a little spice added to him lol like maby somehow a perpetual becuase he almost died but also vulkan didn’t know he could die until he was tortured to death over and over again and never actually died

[@davidn381]

I think it need to be a non space marine story with space marines in it like they turn up at the in a battle and make the save etc

[@gonzalolongone]

As someone who does not know barely anything about the lore, couldn't be that Titus is just another step in the evolution of humans? So many generations "exposed" to a galaxy with chaos, life finds a way. Maybe humans have become more resistan to chaos over time, and if you put one of this persons through the process of become a space marine, and then a primaris, it would not be a surprise that this person would be really resistant to chaos. It is just a thought

Hey guys! I have some questions about the 40k universe, could you help me out? I've been interested in the WH40K lore for a couple of years now, following content on the channels like the Sandman of Terra, Luetin09, WesHammer etc. (and I've never played any of the games, lol, only yesterday I bought Space Marine 1, but haven't launched it yet). I have to say, this whole universe is absolutely bonkers... but in a greatest meaning of the word possible. I simply love it, and planning to get into books (although the size of the library is honestly intimidating). However, I still have some questions and I thought maybe some of you guys could help me out understand some things: 1: Can an ork be possesed by a chaos god? 2: Once a human (space marine or not) commits to chaos, there is no way back? There haven't been any redemption stories? Or just being disappointed with chaos and rejecting it after some time? 3: Humanity has a lot of flaws, one of the biggest ones is definitely racism and xenophobia. I'm wondering if there are some people (exluding chaos cultists) that see space marines as "not real humans" but some abominations born in a lab tube, a distortion of what a true human is (I mean, I get it that there is constant indoctrination and propaganda of the cult of the Emperor, but still... ) 4: If the Emperor could create literally incorruptible Custodes, then why didn't he create Primarchs the same way? Thanks!

[@andreacalvaruso9690]

In which series is the humble sicarius depicted?

[@SandmanofTerra]

Humble sicarius is new. Solemnity is the book

[@Yahikolive]

Maybe titus gets chopped up and disected ny the mecanicous and they find way to make a glad that counters chaos influence like those anti pyhcer pucks people put on the back of there neck for normal people. But for space marines.
