What I don’t get is why they need armor. Custodes will just keep staring at you with the one eye remaining when you blow half their head and brains out.

One important note for the Gorgon pattern Terminator Armor is that it was the prototype that later became Indomitus armor. Specifically, an early prototype made by Ferrus Manus, the Primarch of the Iron Hands, which wasn't completed and was unable to be removed once donned. Once it's on, thats it. Most Iton Hands wouldnt mind, but that had to be rectified whenever Indomitus plate was finalized

[@ethanworner864]

Most of the lost speed is due to reduced coordination, so an Astartes skilled enough in using terminator armor will have little to no decrease in mobility compared to if they were wearing standard power armor. That level of skill is vanishingly rare however.

[@blacksabbath5300]

I would just… explode. In the pleasurable way. If tyberos got the primaris conversion surgery to become even chunkier, fuck it, that one thunder warrior tried to become a space marine hybrid to combat the flaws and make a powerful mix, make him a massive primaris thunder warrior war beast and put him in leviathan siege dreadnought modified cataphractii armor (he would have the skill to use it) and just make a book dedicated to the slaughter this man puts on. Genuinely the closest a space marine will get to beating a demon primarch. Khorne would also likely be throbbing over this.

[@Smilomaniac]

Ceramite is ceramic and titanium composite on top of another layer which is probably some grade of metal on top of a frame that is the exo-skeletal power armour. Kinda like a tank. This is all pretty realistic compared to most sci-fi unobtanium and 'ceramite' exists in real life though doesn't have the same properties. The reason marine armour looks like it's metal is because artists, like me, tend not to be savvy to materials or production and scratches on metal look cooler than cracked and crumbling plates. It's not hard to make a soldier bullet proof, you just cover him in thick metal plates. The problem is that they can't carry it, but Space Marines can, even when it's not powered. On this level 40k isn't 'overpowered', as mentioned it's written to make sense or be internally consistent to where suspension of disbelief isn't stretched. Even warp magic is structured to be volatile, come at a high cost and not just a cheap plot device or deus ex machina (at least not all the time). A "vs 40k" that would easily stomp out most things is a Warframe. The premise that it's a 3D printed remote controlled hyper-human alone, is far beyond the base level of 40k. Say marines manage to take out one, you haven't killed the user, he's sitting in a stealthed ship ready to send down not just another one, but one better suited to fight against what he just experienced. That's before mentioning that they have magical powers that range from breaking gravity, stopping time and opening wormholes to the surface of the sun, not to mention biological weapons, invisibility, teleportation, adaptive metal skin and many, many other abilities. But Warframe isn't cooler than 40k. Saturnine/egg terminators are my favourite.

[@Wasssup3232]

Never would have thought of war frame as a good counter but you make a solid ass point

[@xvbd6067]

Great point man, egg armour for the win team

[@MorningLightMtn]

40k is cooler than Warframe? Semi-arguable. I honestly prefer Warframe's strange alien like smooth biomechanical design over the 40k gothic design. 40k has a more expansive lore, but I also like the "human compassion against the Indifferent Reality" theme of Warframe But, ultimately, that's a personal preference, ain't it?

[@Smilomaniac]

@@MorningLightMtn The context is power, that because warframes are disproportionately more powerful, it doesn’t make it cooler. It has some good ideas for the ‘why’s’ of warframe and I can argue at length for why their construction is great, but the setting suffers from glaring issues such as overexposing the past while scarcely addressing the current setting’s populations. In very important ways Warframe doesn’t have a handle on its fundamentals, but will waste inordinate amounts of time on alternate timelines and puff the magic dragon dream realms. If the question is just ‘do you prefer space ninjas or space knights’ then obviously it’s just subjective. You want a better founded setting and frankly far better told stories? 40k has it beat inordinately, due to having almost four decades worth of writing and refinement.

[@MorningLightMtn]

@@Smilomaniac "because warframes are disproportionately more powerful, it doesn’t make it cooler." Excuse me, but I do not remember saying Warframe is cooler because it's "stronger". Im sorry if that's how it sounded to you, but that was never the intent. I prefer Warframe primarily because of aesthetics, and also the current theme of "Love and Understanding defeats Apathy and Indifference, the True Evil". I honestly could not care less about VS power wanking. We can't even tell how Wally's Void can measure to the Warp, as they're 2 fundamentally different things. While it's true that 40k is leagues better in development and richness, the thing that allowed this to happen, that being a longer history and more writers/developers, also somewhat kneecaps it with inconsistencies, retcons, contradictions and plot holes. And there's nothing wrong with that. A part of the fun of 40k lore-nerding is parsing through both the stories, it's writers and the circumstances at the time of writing. TLDR: Stronger and cooler are often times irrelevant. Just enjoy the stories you like, and have fun discussing it with others.

[@mrbreeze3954]

I love all terminator patterns but the cataphractii is the pattern I like the most, I play dg and I love being a big immovable object impervious to damage, also it has cute drape thingies under the shoulder plates

Those drape thingies are tassels. It gives them a cool graeco-roman gladiator aesthetic that fits right in with the legion shtick of 30k.

​@averageeughenjoyer6429 It's a reference to cataphracts that were fielded by Persians and Byzantines. They were pretty much the tanks of ancient and medieval warfare, so I think it fits.

[@SnowySabreToothedLeopard]

Yes. In lore, the Custodes have fought on a space hulk orbiting a neutron star, and they had to fight off a Xenos species that had infected a space hulk. They used terminator armor in order to repell the heat from the star, which was close enough to its orbit, that by the end of the book, when they got the mcguffin , the space hulk fell into the star. No, I am not sourcing it for you. Have fun finding which book this was in.

[@fluffywolfo3663]

The funny thing about 40k power scaling is… it’s not so much that it’s “realistic” as it’s just… relatively more _committed_ to how this works. Is a Bolter that plausible? Maybe not exactly, but 40k is so committed to the logic behind it - there’s a kicking charge that fires a gyrojet the size of a shotgun round, the fuel is synthesized so that it only ignites once the round has left the barrel, it penetrates armor and explodes within. Also, nowadays they’re not caseless anymore, but don’t think too hard about that. It’s not that it’s “real,” it’s that it gives us that much more grasp of how powerful it is.

[@avieldvalerax3671]

You said "cataphractii" with proper Latin pronunciation, with the long "e" instead of long "i" sound at the end. Well done.

[@gavinflynn9345]

Curious to know what your source is for the lore origins of Terminator armour. The full name is Tactical Dreadnought Armour, and it was originally developed for someone to work within an active plasma reactor and similar extreme/lethal hazards. Terminator armour was introduced during The Great Crusade to reduce losses, but to was too expensive to mass produce. The redesigned Indomitius pattern was also rolled out later into The Great Crusade alongside new weapons like the Assault Cannon and combi-bolters (and maybe Storm Bolters, I can't remember). That wepon upgrade was one of the biggest differences between the patterns as the Calaphractii used twin-bolters and Reaper Autocannons. The Caoaphractii also had shield generators build into the shoulder pads. The Indomitius also had a 'shield', but it was the result of having a shard of the Emperor's armour in the Crux Terminatus on the left shoulder pad

[@randominternetfella96]

The Indomitus pattern was put into service after the Heresy - the mainstay armour of all Legions were the Cataphractii and Tartaros patterns.

For a little context, the Gorgon pattern terminator armor is said to be able to release a bright light of energy whenever it gets attacked, like reflecting the kinetic energy but in a bright flash of light, like a flash bang, hence the name Gorgon Terminator Armor. The downside is that the heat generated and power it uses to do such an ability is such a harm to normal Astartes you’ll need to undergo bionic surgery and such to handle it better as he stated. Also not only Cataphractii is bulkier, but it has built in shield generators under those large pauldrons that give it its extra durability.

The Gorgon replaces the standard energy field generators on the other terminator patterns with a conversion field, specifically one that converts the energy of attacks to a blinding flash.

@@SeanCrosser there we go, thank you.

You see, Allarus terminator armor exists in order to make the nigh-unbeatable custodes actually unbeatable. It is not only tough enough to protect from the shockwaves of orbital bombardment, but flexible and fast enough that it barely hinders its wearer's movement at all.

Love how tough Catafractii are, yet my bombasts shredded 10 of them in 2 shooting phases

The comment about University slaughtered me. “ I only dropped out because I failed everything and I was fucking awful“ LOL

The second I heard you describe tyberos I’m like HOLY SHIT I NEED TO PLAY THIS GUY and then you said that mans name and I already got a model and I was happy af

Material science and engineering student here, -ite is also used a lot to describe microstructural states of metals and metal alloys. Just looking at the Iron-Carbon (Steel) phase diagram you have Austenite and Cementite as single phases, with pearlite, spheroidite, bainite and martensite as double phase states. Ceramite is actually not an unrealistic name for an metallic/intermetallic-ceramic composite material (especially if you're going for a brand name for a proprietary material).

The red wake had the best terminator armor

[@TheBoneZone40k]

not wrong I agree whole heartedly

[@TacticalReaper56]

Eh I hate the comparison. Why can't Master Chief be king of his shit pond and Girly man of his. It's redundant. Cool idea and discussion. But one that will lead nowhere because everyone's a badass in their own way.

Ceramic armor is used today in personal bodyarmor in the form of plates. Modern incarnations use boron carbide, yeeoldie plates were made ol some aluminum oxide. It is strong and very hard. It can stop most handheld balistic weapons (your AK, M16, FN FAL, kar 98s, mosin nagants a lot of " sniper rifles" , not all of them Negatives is that it can't reliably take multiple shots in the same general area because a (for example) 5.56mm NATO cartrige (m16 is chambered in it) projectile will compromise at least a 5 cm circle of armor around the impact. Also they are quite bulky which makes making articulated joints difficult to imposible, so you can only armor a fiew bits and pieces like your ribcage. Also its sensitive to being dropped on the edges

I wish I could like your videos more than once.
