    The mounted weapon was not a lascannon. It was is fact a twin linked multilaser, which is basically a machine gun version of a lasgun. If it had been a lascannon that marine would be turned to goo.

      Yeah, that's a multi-lasgun, a minigun equivalent for the Guard. It's still just as 'powerful' as a lasrifle, just with higher fire rate :P That would obviously just tickle a Marine.

      Multilasers are the turret weapons for Chimeras, that one is twin-linked. Its an Infantry Support Weapon that is mainly used as vehicle mounted heavy weapon, in this case like the wheeled anti-tank guns of ww2. It does damage the Sgt's armor, but only the most outer layer.

    Long story short, here is what happened and why in Astartes(That I believe):
    All the grey armored warriors were Astartes, which are genetically engineered super soldiers with minds and bodies many times more powerful than the "baseline" humans who saw them stomping. They are called Space Marines, and are from the Adeptus Astartes Chapter "Retributors." (The creator of the animation made this chapter up for the videos, they dont exist in the lore)
    This detachment has been sent, probably ordered by the Inquisition, to destroy the orb artefacts we see in the video. A squad was sent on a breaching pod to enter the ship, which they did by flying at it and cutting into the hull with lasers, kill any they encounter, and render the warp artefacts inert or destroyed.
    On their way to the orbs, the squad encounters a pair of psykers. These psykers are powerful beings who possess a connection to "The Warp." It is a dimension connected but also separate to our own. There creatures which are created and fueled by the power of mortal souls and powerful emotion seek to corrupt or destroy mortals and their dimension (mostly just because).
    The masks you see their pair of psykers are called Psychic Hoods. They allow psykers to channel their powers much more controllably, as some psykers, if they are not extremely powerful, or attempt to channel forces more powerful than they are, can go mad, become focal points for rifts into the warp, or even become demon possessed.
    Inspite of what you might think, the pair of psykers we see are not particularly powerful ones. The most powerful psykers, called Alphas, can be capable of destroying cities or star ships. This is probably one of the reasons they wear the hoods, to give them a boost in power and control. Also, the hoods allow another person a measure of control over the wearer.
    The Astartes squad kill them in short order, and proceed into a vault in the enemy ship, which is likely psychically shielded, to find the orbs.
    When the astartes "stab" the orb, we see a connection has been made with it, which allows the Inquisitor back on the Astartes ship to essentially listen in on the psychic communication between the orbs.
    This was clearly not a good idea. After the unintelligible conversation the Inquisitor hears between the orbs, this is what the orbs said to each other.
    Orb1 "who is here?"
    Orb2 "I have failed, brother" (couldn't stop the marines or corrupt them)
    Orb1 "We have all failed" (he's captured)
    Orb1 "the Astartes deny our touch" (they have a hard time controlling them)
    Orb2 "You must return... Break your seal!" (returning from the warp to "normal" universe and get free from the inquisitors seal)
    Orb1 "Impossible, we'll never survive!"
    Orb2 "You must. take the alpha" (the inquisitor since he's the highest ranked and has psyker powers, he is the "Alpha". If the orb controls him, it has the entire ship 'the Daemon that is.').
    This is where the inquisitor drops his concentration to warn them, (“Pull them back immediately!”). The inquisitor is immediately corrupted by the power of the warp wielded by the orb artefacts, and we see him receiving visions, chanting heresy, and finally succumbing to madness.
    As orb 1 (the daemon) does this, it takes control of the inquisitor, but before it can do anything the commander warns his troops ("Get them out Now!")and takes the soon to be possessed inquisitor out.
    The impulsor sergeant (space marine) receives comms to watch out but its too late and the Daemon of orb 2 sucks them into the warp.
    Warhammer 40k is extremely hostile space the moment it uses its psyker powers within the warp it lights up like a Christmas tree and other daemons kill it thus it lets the marines go and they get warped to a different location.
    Fun fact... if the commander was a second or 2 slower the entire ship would have been corrupted and they would have died. Also possessed Psykers are very hard to kill,
    blowing off the head doesn't mean they are dead, you really have to dismantle the whole body."
    Immediately we go back to our hero Astartes squad and see why they were warned. Their orb "takes" them. Dragging them within the confines of the orb. We dont really know where they go when we see them tethered inside the orb. Whether the Astartes are in the warp, or a psychic vision, some other place... who knows. What we do see is that our hero Astartes are then teleported (through the warp - which is why he throws up blood) to a death planet.
    And that is basically what the story of Astartes is.

    Info: The scene with the heavy weapon platform and friendly fire.
    The heavy weapon is most likely a Multi laser or twin linked multilaser. Not as strong as a las-cannon, more like a type of MG Lasgun. Still strong, but a lascannon whould have melted the marine.
    The marine tries to fire at the Heavy weapon with his boltpistol, but it's shields blocks the shots. So he stands down by taking cover and throws a "smoke" grenade.
    The smoke grenade is obviously a "blind" grenade. Its a suped up Smoke grenade, that also works as a flash and even gives away Counter electronics etc, so its a smoke grenade that stops Infra red, scanners, radio etc. Thats why the Multilasers targeter gets messed up/flashed. So a smoke++.
    The Marine then uses a Plasma Pistol to shoot the heavy weapon team, and what I think is smart here (lore wise), is that the marine cant se thrue blind (nothing can), so he is firering thrue with pure memory awareness, like "it should be about here!". And nails it. Bad ass 9000.

    For context, the Orb Dialog to each other that the Inquisition overhears: (according to reddit and the author (sorta))
    "...no escape. I have failed brother."
    'We have all failed. The Astartes deny our touch. You must return, break your seal."
    "Impossible, (I) will never survive."
    "You must! Take them!"
    Then the Inquisitor interrupts and shouts:
    "Recall them Immediately!"
    It's also believed that we see a Demon from the Warp (hell) drag them into the Warp Gate and is then killed by something else that bursts up from below, releasing the Marines out onto the planet. A cool note, after the head marine arrives and looks out over the valley, you can see his Brothers arrive on nearby islands around him, at least the teleport effects are seen that delivered him to the area.

    If you go to 25:43 and watch the pedestals in the distance, you can hear the "thump" of the music is timed with the sound of the other marines being warped in onto those pedestals. (His cam is blocking 1 or 2 of them)

    If you listen carefully you can hear the psyker yell "RECALL YOUR MEN". This is because of the conversation the two space nards had about failure and the Astartes resisting their touch and dropping their shields and saying "You must Take them"
    So inquisitor psyker bro breaks silence and yells to have the men saved, revealing himself within the warp, and being consumed by it. Giving his life just to save a few Space Marines. Unfortunately as we saw, he was too late and the other ball was like "Bet" and wormholed them to another dimension or yeeted them across the galaxy.

      Further detail: When the space marines were being held inside of the warp by the beast, it got hit with a wave of black smoke. You can also see black smoke around the inquisitor as he listens in in the orb. This means he either attacked it and forced it to let the space marines go, or his death caused a psychic backlash, which released them.

      He was not a Hero, mind you that was a VERY VERY indulged Psyker, meaning it would take a very powerful Daemon to possess someone like him, MEANING that a VERY powerful Daemon was gonna kill everyone there.
      He said recall them because he wanted to save as many marines before he gets possessed, those 2 that stayed there to fight, were 100% murdered by the psyker, because it takes about 2 mags to kill a normal possessed psyker, it takes up to 5-6 to kill a VERY strong Psyker.
      There is no way on god's green earth that those Marines made it out alive sadly, but they most likely saved a few people on that planet/ship, but that Possessed Psyker 100% murdered everyone who was in a 500 foot radius and wasn't in an area sealed with holy signs and religious belief.

      @@Lambent_Omega I do not believe it could've been the Inquisitor, as he was possessed and most surely murdered the men amongst the area, as he seemed to be a very indulged being in Psyker Mancy, especially the Hood and all of the Religious Belief, indicating he had MANY power boosts which makes him a very powerful foe, he himself can probably take down 5 marines by himself.
      What possessed him was a Daemon which 100% murdered everyone there who wasn't hidden by Religious Belief insignias or seals, they take well over 5 magazines to kill, MAGAZINES, that is if they don't try and protect themselves like how those 2 psykers did it.
      They are nearly impossible foes to kill if the daemon knows what he's doing.
      That Inquisitor was most likely sent to hell like them but ripped apart, when he was killed, it most definitely caused that backlash and daemons seen the daemon holding marines and attacked them.
      Mind you, Hell is essentially a war zone for power, that daemon was probably a middle-ish level of power and something of it's same caliber or higher attacked it to get those marines which caused it to let go and get teleported instead of murdered or possessed.
      Where they were sent was most likely a death-planet where they will perish from lack of food, water and much more.

      It wasn't 2 daemons, it was a warp entity which the Inquisitor (who was most likely a Master-level Psyker) tried to contain the thing OR get rid of it entirely by killing or beating it, which he was locked in a battle between himself and the warp entity (as you see when you see it talking to him, it's trying to break his mind) which was working and he used his final breathe to scream at the commander to recall his men immediately, which he does, but it was too late because that small second of losing concentration allows him to become possessed.
      Mind you, stuff like those HOODS, religious smoke that was on his hands, those things are POWER boosts, they make him MUCH MUCH stronger than what he already is, he was most likely Alpha-level of power maybe.
      He got possessed and for someone of his Caliber to be frightened by the Warp Entity meant that a REALLY REALLY powerful daemon was trying to possess him THROUGH the Warp Entity which it did.
      It 100% murdered EVERYONE on that ship or planet if they weren't hiding behind Religious Seals or marks.
      You seen how 1 shot killed those men in the first scene? it takes about 5-6 magazines into their SKULL to even kill a powerful possessed Psyker.

    That boarding craft is a Caestus Assault Ram, which uses twin-linked Magna Meltas, big microwave guns, to just melt a hole in the enemy ship in order for the Marines to board.

    Bolter shells are really mass-reactive rocket propelled grenades that explode when surrounded by mass (e.g. a body). They're definitely not normal bullets, those are reserved for Guardsmen for use in weapons like stubbers, shotguns, and gatling guns.
    Astartes can sprint upwards of 50-60 mph, and it's been said of them that nothing that big should move that fast. Imagine a full ton of angry superhuman in damn near impenetrable armor barreling down on you at highway speeds. I'd shit myself, I know that much.
    "beaked" helmets are from the Mk VI Corvus Power Armour, designed to be more aerodynamic and holds a sensor suite for more successful stealth missions. The Raven Guard use a LOT of these as that is kind of their M.O.

    Another awesome thing to note is when the astartes fires his plasma pistol twice at the psychers/whatever the hell those things were, he immediately discards it due to their tendency to, umm.... "fail" after doing that.
    There's also a good chance that's what blows his hand off later, since its the same space marine and we can assume its the same pistol. He took out the turret, double fired it a little bit later and over heated it, then fired it with the entire front of the pistol inside the orb.
    Those gun prayers may have got him an extra shot, at the end he pushed his luck a little too far. Though, I'd probably try the same given the circumstances. When you're getting eaten by a 25ft floating orb, might as well throw the kitchen sink at it

    In the scene where the inquisitor attempts to listen into the two orbs conversation he is surrounded by "black flames" of his own psychic power. shortly later, after his death and the squad sucked into the orb, we see the tentacle monster being hit by a burst of black flames or black energy. Therefore some belief that the space marines saved enough of the inquisitors conciousness by killing him just in time for him to sent out the blast through the warp that freed the squad from the monster and warped them out onto the chaos world.
    To my knowledge there still is no official confirmation what the orbs actually are. Fan theories narrowed down to Yu'vath or the Umbra or some sort of mix of the two. After all, the Yu'vath fit the timeline Astartes plays in and the Umbra in the Videogame "40k: Gladius" resemble a grey version of the golden orbs of Astartes.

    What's unsettling about the enemy, and why they needed to be wiped out was that those two big guys.... they weren't humans. They were constructs. Just like the huge gold dude that was unfinished. And probably every little human soldier who so silently went to their deaths were drones; humans who'd been implanted with the same kind of spinal device as was sticking out of the big guys...only you couldn't see it on the little guys because it probably replaced their actual spines. You can see a collection of those spinal implants all around the huge gold guy, waiting to be implanted.
    The two big gold guys were in various levels of completion when the Astartes attacked. One had one eye, but both arms, while the other only had one arm, but both eyes. They were rushed into action before they could be properly completed. The HUGE gold guy would have been a new vessel for...whatever exists in the Spheres.

    Bolters do not actually fire bullets. They fire small RPGs (rocket propelled grenades). Your average space marine is around 7 feet tall and weighs in at around 700 lbs. (around 270 KG). When the traitor gaurdsman fires the twinlinked lascannon repeater, you notice that it damages, but not pierces the armor. The armor of a space marine is made of ceramite and the armor that they are wearing, should it be Mk2 power armor can no longer be made any longer as the technology was lost in the dark technology age. This video shows an insane understanding of Warhammer 40k lore and it's even more insane that they were able to capture all of this visually, even for people who haven't done the deep dive into what is the most flushed out story in writing. This is one chapter, of one military branch, of one species, among dozens of different aliens, mutants, and heretics. I can't wait to see astartes 2 now that everyone is getting into W40k.
