The Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 Experience

For the next few days, code "SirD30" will be active over at Advanced.GG for 30% off at checkout. This code helps me out a ton, and now is the perfect time to stock up if that's your sort of thing. Thanks for all of the love and support on these variety videos lately. I feel some new life flowing through me.

This game did more to sell Ultramarines as a faction than the last 20 years of novels. Since you're new, you won't understand what any of that means. Just trust me that the ending of this game was the coolest Ultramarines have been since the last time we had a video game about Titus.

[@chiuvittm]

"I'm new to 40k, so please forgive any heresy" me: Sure, no problem! "The Ultramarines are the most prestigious chapter" me: >( Now for real, there is some merit to that, but it's because they have the most stable gene-seed, so most chapters descend from them. However, the name Ultramarines is not because they are Ultra Space Marines, but because they come from the realm of Ultramar. Lots of people in the 40k community dislike them due to the fact that, for a while, GW had a writer for them that wasn't very good, so he turned them into ridiculous OP Mary Sues. And they would go around saying just that, "We're the greatest of them all!" When in reality they weren't supposed to be that more powerful than other SM. He's gone now, and the Ultramarines are a LOT better from a narrative point of view. Some characters that were pretty much a meme to most people (like Cato Sicarius) actually got some good development now. But lots of people in the community still dislike the "poster boys"

[@SirDimetrious]

I was going according to wikipedia lmfao

[@chiuvittm]

@SirDimetrious pro tip: Never use the wiki. Always use the Lexicanum (the good wiki). At this point, the 40k wiki is more of a trap to newcomers, lol!

[@naosou921]

I mean, the Ultramarines ARE the most prestigious chapter. Sure, you could say that it is because of favoritism or whatever, but it is the truth. They were the most numerous, Guilliman was and still is the most stable primarch (if boring), he was also the most successful primarch who not only conquered his home planet (which some primarchs couldn't even do) but also conquered the surrounding ones and built an actually funcional and powerful empire and they are the most well rounded.

[@chiuvittm]

​@@naosou921 "They were the most numerous" Not because they were, or are the most prestigious. They have the luck of having the most stable gene-seed. This means that not only it's less susceptible to mutations, but also has better compatibility with new aspirants. Therefore, it's easier to make marines out of them, but this isn't related to any of their accomplishments. "he was also the most successful Primarch who not only conquered his home planet (which some primarchs couldn't even do) but also conquered the surrounding ones and built an actually funcional and powerful empire" Quite a few of the Primarchs didn't had sub-light space crafts in the worlds they fell. Many had access to medieval level tech, and therefore could even leave their planets, despite their abilities. Mcragge had most of it's industries and quite high level tech. Not to mention the fact that the realm of Ultramar has a lot less Death Wolrds than other systems belonging to the Primarchs, like the Red Scar and the Fenrisian System. Even then, Ultramar didn't fare that much better than the Red Scar against the Tyranids, despite having a more prosperou region and more descendants to fight, among other things. So, relevant, but not a definitive factor that would make Guilliman the best Primarch. He definitely had a lot more advantages than quite a few others, like Khan, Russ, Lion or Sanguinius. But his administration abilities do place him quite high imo. However, there is a case to be made when it comes to them being the most prestigious. That is compliance during the Great Crusade. The 6ed Codex for Ultramarines said they liberated the most worlds. However, there might be other parameter to consider. Some would say that the most prestigious would be the Fists, due to the title of Praetors of Terra. While others could argue that victories during the crusade are different than liberation, and the 2ed Codex of Angels of Death, alongside of the 4ed Codex of Dark angels put the first legion in second when it comes to victories, only behind the Lunas Wolves. So, there is a case for them being the most prestigious, but it isn't no definitive, objective truth. There are more factors to consider. The Space Wolves for example, are the only ones to my knowledge to have faced two traitor Primarchs, after the heresy, without Russ, and managed to not only survive, but have a definitive victory in one of those cases, and banishing both back to the warp in both (War of The Fang against Magnus and First War of Armageddon against Aangron).

[@naosou921]

@@chiuvittm All of those statements are still fact, though, regardless of the reasons. "the other primarchs didn't have sublight travel" Too bad. Tough luck. It is what it is. Life isn't supposed to be fair. "they were lucky to have stable geneseeds!" Again, too bad. The following facts remain: They were the most numerous and therefore most present They were the most compliant They were the most successful They were the most stable Their primarch was the most competent generally and shortly had command You could disregard any ONE of those statements for one reason or another, but all of them together do paint a very favorable and pleasant picture of the Ultramarines to the public and to the Imperium, especially compared to the other legions. The reasons for it do not matter, only the outcomes do.

Fun fact about the tyranids: they’re pretty much the opposite of a chaos threat! They have a passive effect called the Shadow in the Warp which basically cuts off the connection to the warp (the dimension chaos comes from) in the regions of space nearest to them. There IS a chaos threat in this game, it’s just the tyranids. Another fun fact about them, they were actually thought to BE CHAOS before and shortly after they were first discovered. I’m not trying to “uhm ackshually” this, I just think it’s interesting that you got the two confused because of their relationship to one another. Hope you’re enjoying the lore!

They're also in the Guard too. Its interesting that the games get so much flak. Both first and second game, there's a woman in charge of the Cadian troops, who are the most proficient, professional, and marshalled regimental forces of the Astra Militarum. They are essentially the template that about 80% of the rest of the Guard, both Active and Planetary Defense Forces, imitate in regards to SOP's, Equipment, and Regimental Organization. There's also female inquisitors, female assassins... There are women in this universe. Its just that women in the Adeptus Astartes would undermine the whole visage of the Astartes being Warrior Monks, like men being in the Sororitas would undermine their being Warrior and Hospitallier Nuns (to which, ironically, between the two, humans love seeing the Adeptus Sororitas because they're still very human and perform more duties than just the duty of conflict. They perform medical work and humanitarian aid for refugees and the wounded).

I play Darktide 3-4 times a week with the boys, GREAT gameplay in the L4D vibe but you have more melee and the enemy have more guns; the sound track is FN BANGIN and it's getting an itemisation overhaul in 2 weeks which was something other people where complaining about, I personally didn't care but I am looking forward to the new map and music. It's fun seeing the power-scaling differences between SM2 and Darktide. Tyrannid Warrior is stronger than a Crusher, Darktides carapace armour Ogryn enemy because as a measly human (or Ogryn) if your aren't packing anti-armour weapons you are going to have a hhhhhaaaarrrrrdddd time with them and Maulers that are about the same power as Tzaangors but in Darktide a mishandled patrol of 10 Mauler can wipe a team while in SM2 you go through hordes of 30 Tzaangors like butter.

Just so you know, there is a good reason why they sacrifice 1000 souls (psyker souls. That is, humans with the talent for warp magic) to keep the Emperor alive. His power, the fact that he is alive, is one of the things that keep a structure called the Astronomicon working. The Astronomicon is like a lighthouse in the warp that every navigator and ship needs to follow in order to do long distance space travel. If he dies, the Astronomicon stops working and the entirety of humanity loses the ability to space travel proper distances. So they have to sacrifice 1000 psyker souls, everyday, to maintain humanity's ability to travel in space properly. Guy has been in a chair, in unimaginable pain, just to be a battery for humanity. He could kill himself whenever he wants, btw. He just soldiers through it.
