SPACE MARINE CREATION/RECRUITMENT - Your guide on becoming an Astartes | WARHAMMER 40,000 Lore

I really love how weirdly wholesome they are about the people they reject but let go home. The fact that they don't just shoot them is a tad unexpected, but to go as far as to basically say "This guy succeded in a series of nigh impossible tasks and then came up short on one, he's not a failure, the fact he's alive should be a source of great pride" is pretty cool

Reading book 4 of the Horus heresy right now and it actually talks about failed aspirants to the death guard legion (pre-heresy) and most of them die in the trials if they fail. Those that fail but survive generally accept the “emperor’s peace” meaning they effectively ask for death due to the shame. The one that didn’t in the context of this book was saved by captain garro and made his housecarl and pisses off other death guard by his very existence, they claim he’s sullying their name by flaunting his failure or something.

Dead? Only if you´re lucky, it will be a quick boltround or lasgun shot to the head and then lights out. IF you are unlucky well lets us count the ways you could be caught by the Drukhari, and turned into living furniture. You could be possed by a demon forced to watch from a corner of your mind as your body does unspeakable things. You could be turned into a servitor with just enough mental capacity left for you to understand what has happened to you as you are forced to obey every command given to you. You could risk getting caught by the Emperor´s children, sure you will eventually die you soul hurled screaming into the warp to be chased and ripped apart by demons, but before that you will be praying for death a billion times over before it is finally granted to you. So dead only if your lucky.

I feel I should make a statement to be clear the purpose and direction of making these lore videos. Whats important to me most in 40K is the atmosphere and narrative, highly specific details are something that interest me but ultimately if I get something wrong here or there or misunderstood, more than happy to add it as an amend or if its bad enough repost a video. Ultimately I do this because I enjoy it, and have done for about 25 years. If you are the kind of person who cannot forgive a person making occassional errors, then I would suggest not to watch my content, as ultimately from time to time there will be errors. I am not ashamed or bothered by this, it is what it is. Hopefully anyone watching sees the content I make for what it is, just someone who is passionate about 40K talking about a hobby they have enjoyed for most of my life.

Theit rib cage grows to a "plate like" shape, as each rib grows to overlap eachother, permitting a still flexible, yet shielding barrier. This allows the Astartes to absorbe impacts better, by their rib shield flexing, rather than acting as a brick wall. The ability to flex and slide the bone plates also means the rib shield can act the same way as a normal sapien cage. Expanding and contracting as we breath and move our bodies.

[@lkvideos7181]

+Light 1988 That sounds rather incredibly unlikely ^^ A grim dark game ala full 40k would go down like this: You're a little child in midst of a massive Hivecity underworld dominated by gangs and somehow survive through all that terror and misery, even outsmarting one of the gang leaders as your heart is originaly pure but you learn to survive by any means possible. You are then picked up as a potential aspirant by an observant eye, the Adeptus Astartes. You pass every test, show feats beyond human before you even become a Space Marine. Pass many challenges, defeat a monster interupting the trial, try to save the mortaly wounded Space Marine trainer who you developed a grudge against but ended up admiring. Before he dies, the Space Marine says you've passed and approves you as his brother. However when other Space Marines arrive, they only see you with their dead brother and no trace of the attacker. So they hold you guilty, banish you, labotomize and you're sent off to some distant labor world as a servitor.

Apothecaries do not clean or sterilize anything, due to the implant's ability to fight off infection, and once the Larraman's organ is implanted they stop stitching closed incisions made for further implants. Both are done to make sure the newly implanted organs are functioning. It was a pretty entertaining read to say the least. It's AMAZING what they have to go through. This was for regular space Marines though and not the primaris versions.

There is some lore about sexual organ function and waste products for space marines, but you'll only find it in old rogue trader magazines generally. Here's some stuff from the older magazines. They have sexual organs, but they cease functioning during the transition to a full Astartes and are almost vestigial organs when the transformation is complete. The implanted organ responsible for destroying this functionality is generally considered to be the Ossmodula. The only exceptions to this are the Space wolves who have to regular undergo mental conditioning to remove any sexual thoughts or desires. Blood claws have extreme problems with this, which is why they are almost always accompanied by a chaplain. They also have a series of three organs that recycle body waste, what cannot be recycled internally is converted into gases and then further recycled through a system of re-breathers and oxygen scrubbers held in the backpack of the space marine. The multi-lung, the Oolitic kidney and the Haemastamen organs work together to allow a space marine to recycle waste perfectly without ever needing to perform biological functions. The system is so efficient that a space marine can recycle oxygen for up to three days while in the void of space of a single lungful of air when unconscious and in stasis.

This was the first lore video of 40k I ever watched, and I have never stopped anticipating more and more lore videos from you. Your comprehensive style of lecture is addictive to listen to. And the editing used in each video is utterly fantastic. And with how well researched and sourced each upload is, it is hard to argue with the points you bring up, save for a few mixups that can be easily corrected. Thanks to you and other 40k producers, the Warhammer 40,000 universe has completely has completely replaced Star Wars for me ( especially since the sequels happened). I think I can say for most of us that we enjoy each and every minute of your videos. Keep up the good work!

This is probably so weird to say, but I fall asleep to your videos like ASMR. I don’t play 40K but I love learning about it. And your channel is my favorite for that. Thanks for all your hard work showing us this world of 40K and I hope you keep it up for a long time.

[@rednaxelA11]

the idea that the astartes might be motivated by a sense of protecting those that can barely manage to protect themselves puts a totally different lens on the lore that I had never considered - i had assumed, like with everything else, that they do because dogma says they should. Having an emotional motivation, and empathy, throws out some interesting considerations. Could it be that the morally motivated marines could one day reflect on the current condition of the imperium, and the quality of life of those they try to protect, and just wonder what might be done to truly protect... might it be that the astartes could turn against the corrupt system in order to free their pitiful wards? That would be a very interesting change of tack..

Really enjoying the series. It occurs to me that the Emperor always reaches for genetic experimentation This would suggest to me that the invite solution for why the giant that is the Emperor was never recorded He bioengineered on himself first Then taking that result and not wanting to grant his powers to anyone else he worked to depower his genetic result into the Primarks and then further refined them into the Marines If the Emperor is willing to do anything then engineering himself into "perfection" during the age of strife would make sense Also I suggest that the Emperor does have a STC under the Imperial Palace. That's where all his great wonders come from that ended when no one else knew how to access it Also if the STC was simply trying to protect the web way with all it's power that would explain a lot

One thing I have heard of about the Blood Angels is that they don't collect gene seeds. Instead, the four leaders of the chapter each have within them the literal blood of Sanguinius, the chapter's founder. This blood is used, along with a mixture of other fluids to create more of their chapter. Recruits are placed under and laid in a coffin that is filled with a blood-like solution made mostly of the blood of Sanguinius. This solution transforms those that don't die during the process into Blood Angels (a significant number, around 1 in 10, awaken during the lengthy process and are incapable of returning to their slumber, drowning in the fluid).

[@caleb2507]

DuBstep115 Kind of like how for most of human history (in real life) you were a “man” at the age of 15 or 16 and girls 12 years old were married and started having children. King Charles XII for example was 18 when he led Swedens military in war. Take that and amplify it. Humanity in the 40k world is surrounded by xenos (aliens that are hostile in large part to humans), chaos (which wants to corrupt and destroy everything), and empty black space. So if a god-like man called the Emperor raises legions of demi-god soldiers who sole purpose is to protect humanity your choices of loyalty are pretty clear. In todays society (2020) we humans are arguably at our weakest point. Read some 40k and 30k lore and youll understand more.
