I would also say the bullets aren't just the size of red bull cans. They are rocket propelled drilling ( so they can pierce tough stuff) explosion rounds. And that's normal they get bigger and better.
that's a round for the gun known as a Macro Cannon yes there's big F'k off cannons that are either mounted on spaceships or planet side as orbital defense

@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy Yes and no. He's still, just barely, alive but is now basically a skeleton on life support with nothing but his bones and sheer psychic might remaining.

YEARS!* And the guy is what is known as a perpetual, and he's pretty much been around since humanity's infancy! He's IMMORTAL basically!
Let me sum up the Imperial Guard with a quote from Dawn of War: _"To each of us falls a task, and all the Emperor requires of us Guardsmen is that we stand the line, and we die fighting. It is what we do best. We die standing."_
Bricky's "Every Warhammer 40k Faction Explained" videos are also pretty Great introduction to the universe. (They're hour long parts though, you've been warned)
The thing they are there to protect is called a Warlord Titan, essentially think of a skyscraper that moves and has giant guns attached to it and can wipe out whole squads and tanks with a single shot.
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy Not just dangerous… Expensive… Also impractical… Plus we probably don’t have all of the technology required… Even if it wasn’t made to last on the battlefield, you’d have all sorts of problems… It’s pain enough making a human sized robot… The bigger you make it, the more strain it’ll need to cope with… In terms of the battle field, every joint could be a major weak point… … Still, a giant mech would be super cool lol.
That incorrect, a warlord can STEP on Old squaws infantry and a trio of tanks. You thinking too small. The guns can take out whole divisions of infantry and convoys of tanks
To this day my favorite faction is The Sisters of Battle dropping churches as drop pods from lower orbit while playing gothic music using flame weapons having runes on the armor having babies fly around giving them ammo and having your main battle tank be a giant pipe organ that shoots rockets ooh my it makes me feel somekind of way
Thunder hammer: an astartes power weapon unique amongst most melee weapons of their class. Instead of generating a constant power field that increases the damage output of the weapon, the thunder hammer channels the power field output into the point of contact when the hammer hits something, producing a sound akin to a thunderclap. The impact is just as devestating as the sound it makes.
In 40k, the imperium of man who the space marines fight for are ultra-mega religious, which means spaceships that equate to a cathedral with gigantic turbines and every building has church elements everywhere. In fact, in the recent release, darktide, the sights are literal church window frames with a sight line.
The tau are basically aliens made to look like classic greys Just about all their weapons and armor look like samurai armor or gundams Their ideology is the greater good but the ruling cast often abuse their power On the bright side they are willing to be allies with just about anyone Down side they once tried to be allies with the dark eldar who are basically the cenobites from hellraiser with pointy ears That ended about as well for the tau as you'd expect
Power armor generally weighs about half a ton, but that backpack is a micro power plant that increases the users strength between 2.5-3 times their normal strength with plus “auto-senses” of hay give you night vision, infrared and motion detectors, air filters, etc. Master chief is equal to a space marine scout at most.
I do want to mention that there's a faction with imperium called The sisters of battle. That have a tank that is literally a pipe organ missile launcher, and they drop churches as drop pods from the low orbit onto their enemies.
Once you’ve watched Badger’s other 40K related video (Deathwing), you’ve got a few options: If you want super serious lore breakdowns, you can look into guys like Arch (formerly ArchWarhammer). If you want humorous yet long form breakdowns, I’ve heard that Bricky’s videos are pretty good. Most people suggest watching his videos about all the factions. If you want something that’s funny, beginner friendly, but lore respectful, my key recommendation is “If The Emperor Had A Text To Speech Device”. This series is how I got properly introduced to 40K, and it really made me want to learn more. Bear in mind that it’s a long series, and has a LOT of side content that should not be skipped.
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy Don't check out Arch unless you actually enjoy racism, cringy right-wing edginess, and a Norwegian faking a posh British accent to sound constantly smug and superior. The very reason he's not known as Arch Warhammer anymore is because his behavior got so bad that Games Workshop stepped in and said they didn't want him representing their brand.
"did they put gothic architecture on a giant bullet?" why yes, yes they did. welcome to 40k, where there is no peace, no respite, no forgiveness, only war.
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy even in a future where so much has been forgotten, never to be relearned, there is still one thing the imperium knows how to do. How to gothic the heck out of their stuff.

Bricky and Adeptus Ridiculous are good spots for newer people to get into the lore that has a lighthearted (memey) edge to it, In fact i know Bricky has 3 introduction videos ( part 1 and part 2 of "Every Warhammer Fantasy faction explained,, and another that is an overview of the 18(20) space marine legions) that are a general introduction to pretty much all of warhammer, it just dips its toe into the lore but is a decent place to start. and Adeptus Ridiculos is a podcast style show that has a good back catalogue of tons of lore and memes.
Before the Sequel Space Marine 2 I recommend playing Warhammer 40k Boltgun, a Boomer Shooter made by Focus Entertainment Indie branch (same devs creating Space Marine 2) where you take as a roll of a Sternguard Veteran, (basically an Ultramarine with a white Helmet and its a Mark 6 Corvus Pattern helmet) where you investigate a strange anomaly on the Planet. after the events on Graia and Incarceration of Captain Titus, you will be sent via Orbital Drop to the surface and investigate find the anomaly, there you will be thrusted into battle fighting off Heretics, Traitor Astartes, Daemons, and other dangers on the planet to save it from total Annihilation via Exterminatus. With a quote from thr Sternguard himself: _" I will finish what Captain Titus Started!"_ Edit: Boltgun has the same dilemma with the story but the Gameplay is an absolute Euphoria to play. Recommend playing to believe.
I was actually thinking of playing Boltgun or the first Space Marine game (my discord recommended them both haha) on Twitch and I use a Space Marine Vtuber model and voice changer to sound like a space marine Then I can play in character as a space marine, just need to learn a bit more about them
2:04 now that you mention that StarCraft was going to be originally a warhammer 40k prequel but legal problem enter the frame so blizzard just took the ideas and make their own shit thats why terran marines, space marine look similar but totally different,the zerg look like Tyranids etc
Among others proposed here Text to Speech, Arch (potentially controversial, mostly due to his morbid and gritty millennial/early Gen Z humour & calling the GW company out on its toxic practices, and social politics), there are a number of good 40K TH-camrs I would propose. Although, I would highly propose the aforementioned "If the Emperor had a Text to Speech" by Alfabusa, its a parody but it also introduces to the lore very well. PancreasNoWork does a number of 40K videos and some from other settings, Baldermort is the undisputed King of 40K Lore, and another great Reactor channel called OldManReacts also has his own lore channel where many of them are goddamn rants on characters or things in the setting. In the case of the OldMan, he also has been slowly working on a "Mistakes of the Emperor" series which explains some of the more historical lore coming to light in the Horus Heresy which caused the Imperium to become as it is in the modern day. Additionally, a FanWithTooMuchTime has a series called "Warhammer 40K vs Star Wars", a crossover between the universes.
"It must really suck to be a normal ass human in this univers" Ohh trust me, you do not know how bad it is for a normal person in the grimdankness of the far future. You could be turned in to many things, for example. Corps starch a commen food for the starved masses of a hive city, a slave for a dark eldar (you dont want that), turned in to a powder and snorted by an emperors child, turned into biomase and eaten by a tyraned. Vaproised by a necrons flayer weapon witch litraly rips you atom by atom.
"Why'd they have to make the big men in power armor into sexy anime girls with big mommy milkies?" I mean... there is a faction in 40k that is exclusively sexy anime girls in power armor with big mommy milkies. Say hello to the Adepta Sororitas aka Sisters Of Battle.
I mean I remember seeing the Gothic Armada trailer and they had like scripture chiseled into their rounds. “Let ranks of burnished steel, crush the serpent beneath thy heel.” Carved onto a shell. Also ships and tanks shaped like cathedrals. Favourite is the tank that uses a pipe organ as a missile rack.
I love watching people get sucked into the lore of Warhammer for the first time. The whole "Oh! It's like HALO, or Gears of War, or Starcraft.. etc.." - then the person finding out all of those are heavily inspired by W40K. The creators of those having grown up with W40K and W40K itself having been around since the 1980's. W40K in turn, itself was HEAVILY inspired by stories that came before, example; from history, mythologies of the world, and the original BOOKS of DUNE and STARSHIP TROOPERS. Also - There's something magical about discovering this incredibly BRUTAL universe, yet Humanity is NOT the underdog. Humanity is holding the line against no less than 7 other factions, that each on their own in any other IP, would be the single greatest threat... And they are doing so all at once, attacked on all sides, completely surrounded and outnumbered, all concurrently all the way until the current setting of W40K (which is supposed to be our irl timeline) just set in the year 40,000... While the "prequel" setting of it, the start of the Imperium of Man/The Great Crusade and subsequent events of The Horus Heresy is set at around the year 30,000(~ish).
of all the races in Warhammer 40k the Orks are the only one having fun as they live only to fight there's even one story of the Ork Warboss Tuska The Daemon Killa the only character to get something of a happy ending in 40k
when you get to know the lore better, I recommend these two videos: The Galaxy's BIGGEST Troll? Trazyn EXPLAINED! Warhammer 40K Necrons Lore , this is about a really funny character of a very ancient race , The last church , this will make you understand well the philosophy of the emperor and what he wanted to do but is a little bit long😁 , btw , the biggest space marine is Tyberos the red wake , In addition to the second game in the series of this video , another will come out that is more on the strategic genre : Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader

You think gothic architecture on a giant bullet was impressive, you should see what shoots that bullet. The cannon is either one of the arms or is the central cannon of the titan, and there is an entire cathedral on the back of the titan. In the imperium of man, if you don’t go to church, the church literally goes to you.
Space Marine actually has two sequels: Space Marine II, where we follow Titus' exploits Boltgun, where we clean up some of the aftermath from this game's events.
The Salamanders, the only Space Marine Chapter that could be considered warm and friendly... to the citizens of the Imperium at least. Also they REALLY like fire.
Little bit of Ork terminology for ya. Git: Dumb person Krump: Kill Zog: exclamation similar to the F Word Dakka: firepower Gubbinz: arsenal? Shootah: pretty straight forward Choppah: sharp melee weapon. Grottling: tiny goblin-like ork These are basics, but theres much more terminology.
Don't forget their apparent ability to make weapons and mechs from literal JUNK and making things that work, even though logic dictates they shouldn't.
If youre curious about the lore, but you don't want to make an hour plus long video, i recommend WesHammer or Majorkill. Very informative while keeping things short.
"Did they put gothic architecture on the missile?" Yes: would you also like churches used as drop pods? How about a battle tank which is a pipe organ missile launcher? I am not kidding or exaggerating.
Washing machine is basically a meter in metric, a decemeter is a tenth of a washing machine, a centimeter is 1/100 of a washing machine.. And millimeter is a sancirn size, 1/1000 of a washer machine
21:23 yeah shooting a space marine bolter can rip your arm off (avg joe a boltgun|gaurdsmen grade| can still fracture your shoulder remember gaurdsmen are like marines 100x)
12:26 Man,either are some nerds bad at math, or red bull cans have shrunk a lot. The number in caliber is the diameter of the bullet in inches. so a .75 cal boltgun "bullet" would be 0.75 inches in diameter A bolt shell is "only" 3/4 of an inch wide! Even the heavy bolter is "only" 1.5 cal or 1.5 inches, which is still smaller than a can of red bull. A better allegory is actually a shotgun shell, as 0.75 inches is roughly the same size as a regular 12 gauge shotgun. We actually have explosive slugs for the 12 gauge shotgun today.
yes that is actually a door orks get creative, and since tank and bunker doors are made to survive, and they have that neat visor in them sometimes, that makes them ideal for use as a shield not everyone sucks the four armed emperor loves you the emperor no longer has long flowing luscious hair, no matter how much the custodes tried he was also mostly illusion back when he was alive 10:15 purged is the word your looking for krump is the action of hitting sumthin until its flat bits are krumpled up
"The only thing standing between us and them, are the space marines!" Yeah... if you don't count the Imperial Guard, mechanicus, skitarii, titans, imperial knights, imperial navy, rogue traders, sisters of battle, enforcers, and various planetary defense forces and militias... Then yeah... _only_ the Space Marines.
Not only Bolters shoot huge-ass rounds, but they aren't even bullets, they are basically rockets, self-propelled and all, and they explode, because of course
The emperor no longer has that hair. After a civil war called the Horus Heresy against his favored son Horus, the emperor was mortally wounded and put on the Golden Throne. 40k takes place 10,000 years after that civil war and the Emperor is now just a rotting corpse on the throne and kept “alive” by sacrificing 1,000 pyskers to him every day
However I would recommend doing some research on the Primarchs and Horus Heresy as well to understand some of the jokes and lore. The Horus Heresy is VAST with lord and there are lots and lots of books that take place during it.
Salamanders are another faction of space marines like the blood ravens and the ultramarines basically each faction of the marines serve under one of the emperors demigod children/science experiments and some of them got currupted by the choas gods and desserted to the darkside with their armies so you have like a solid i wanna say 5 ish or more on the side of man still and another at least 4 that switched teams tried to kill the emperor and left mankind with a half broken living god stuck on a throne that technically entraps him in the broken body and keeps him from resurrecting himself and becoming full power again cause humanity is stupid and doesnt listen to the god they worship
Well goo to see our stupidity is still around in the 40k century And let me guess the Salamanders love fire? Guessing since salamanders are usually associated with fire due to an old fairy tale that salamanders are born from fire. When people put logs on for a fire, salamanders may run out since they were in the damp wood and some people thought they came from the fire
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy i would guess but I think the demigods named there armies or and I'm not sure 100% if it's mechanically or lore wise thematic or if it's like 101st airborne infantry nicknaming their unit the bulldogs (as an example) because most of my limited knowledge comes from hour long break down videos of the history of this or that in x settings while I'm bored at work or grinding some game mindlessly that doesn't require a bunch of focus
Sadly the rounds the regular bolter fires are not the size of red bull cans, they are .75 cal, so half again as wide in diameter as a .50 cal, or just under 20mm which is similar to the rounds of a WW2 anti-tank rifle. The reason the tips of the barrels on the bolters are so huge is probably a combination of the plastic casting methods used to make the figurines not allowing for finer details and it just looking more badass that way. If I had to think up a lore reason for the barrels of the boltguns having such loose tolerances, I'd probably go with it being to avoid the barrels sooting/gunking up from the gyrojet propelled ammunition too fast and jamming all the time. The heavy bolter I believe fires rounds about the same size as the GAU-8 Avenger cannon that the A-10 Warthog is built around, which is still a fair bit smaller than Red Bull cans, although some lore writings has it firing fist sized bolts, which is pretty in line with soda can size. 40k lore gets ridiculously detailed when it comes to technical stuff in certain places and then when you flip a page to the next related thing everything can get very vague and wibbly wobbly for whatever reason.
You’d be surprised good sir the Guard are actually well beloved faction in the universe and one of the most played in the board game. They are normal men and women who despite all odds have countless victories against the enemies of the Imperium of Man. They are the backbone of the Imperium and without them all of the Emperors light would’ve long fallen. They may not be super soldiers but they don’t have to be to kick some Xenos ass! FOR THE EMPEROR AND CADIA FELL BEFORE THE GUARD!!!
Fun fact, the Thunder Hammer (and Power Fist which isn't in this) are pretty much anti-tank weapons. Yep someone made a fist so they can punch a tank to death. Also, that red bull can is flat wrong. I get the joke, but a .75 cal is just the bore diameter in inches so you're talking a 19mm bullet. That's huge but it's not close to a can of red bull. If you want a size comparison, a AA battery is about in diameter 13mm so a little more than that or about a mm larger than a 12 gauge shotgun shell. Plus, just to warn you, the barrier between 40k lore and memes is really thin and people get confused between the 2. Which is why everyone thinks a .75 cal is a red bull can despite a red bull can being like 3x the size.
The Imperium of Man as it stands, and has for around 10,000 years, is what a famous last stand feels like: walls are falling down around you and everyone is too busy fighting off a seemingly endless wave of genocidal monsters to fix even a single problem, the few that can are just barely keeping the structure holding. That describes the Imperium well. Humans get a lot of shit from people who don't understand the universe and are judging it from a distance from the perspective of a modern human. Yeah, it's bad. It's also bad for good reason. The nature of Grimdark makes the darkest elements of the universe a necessary component for survival. Regardless of what species or faction you choose. Seriously, I can't recommend them enough: Bricky's 'All Warhammer 40k factions explained' or 'The Commisar's Guide to Warhammer 40k' by Old Man. These are the good starting points for the lore. Although if you want to take it slow and keep it digestible but also funny, watch "If the Emperor had a Text to Speec Device" by Bruva Alfabusa. I hope I don't come off as nagging, I'm just super enthusiastic when someone new joins the fold. There are also a bunch of animated fan films you could watch that are super well done. "The Last Church" and "Helsreach" Alright, that's enough pestering you. Honestly, I hope you enjoy this gloomy fuckfest of a universe we all love to not live in.
Thank you for the recommendation! And yeah it seems like everyone is "bad" but the world they live in demands it to survive and that's such a cool setting!
I would suggest Baldermort since he does super cool voice overs of Warhammer 40k stuff. PancreasNoWork is GREAT for Warhammer40k explanations! Please do check him out!!! Majorkill is pretty funny. Bricky is great too.
Anyone other than Arch or OneMindSyndicate, honestly. The former is constantly inserting his own politics into everything and going on long rants about people he doesn't like in the community in the middle of of telling you stuff about the topic in question that is questionable in its accuracy. The latter just reads from the wiki verbatim.
if i had to give you recommendation to start 40k journey: watch Bricky Every Single Warhammer Space Marine Legion in a Nutshell -so you know what chapters we have of God Emperor Angels. watch arch Space Marine Geneseed - to know how they are "made" (also you could watch DrChrisRaynor to see how close we are rn to make them IRL) watch Bricky every faction part 1&2 to have general idea of wtf is happening in the universe watch arch 40k Lore, The Death Korps of Krieg! - to know about the most loyal and zeal human faction. also most people fav group and reason for shovel meme then go into whatever picked your interests hole, there is lots of things different people love i would recommend videos about Adepta Sororitas and Inqusition as they are fun and show lots of ... (how not be labeled as heretic) "points" of Imperium.
I highly recommend checking out Bricky's videos on warhammer 40k. They are the best ones to watch when starting out and he's got videos on talking about each faction and each space marine legion. I also recommend the Adeptus Ridiculous videos as well. It's Bricky explaining 40k Topics to one of his friends that has no knowledge on 40k. Glad to see more people getting into 40k such as yourself and I hope you enjoy it.
They got the bolter size wrong. A .75 is the standard bolter round which is a 20mm. The .998 is the HEAVY bolter caliber. Also, heavy bolters are typically belt fed and dont have a semi auto option. It's like comparing an M16 to an M240.
Okay, so the people saying that bolter shells are the size of Red Bull cans are incorrect. As Badger says in the video it's actually a .75 caliber, which is about the size of a 12 gauge shotgun shell. These guys are going on the size of the muzzle brake, but that's a common error. Just look at the size of the magazine and the ejection port and you'll see why it wouldn't work if the muzzle brake was the size of the bore.
9:25 Don't worry, 40k also features the Sisters of Battle aka Nuns with Guns. And fun fact, Sisters of Battle are NOT required to be celibate. Several 40k characters have been mentioned as having slept with one.
The funny thing is that the closest thing to a "good guy" faction are the Orks. I am not kidding, because the other factions are assholes in some way and some more than others, but the Orks do their thing because it just fun like fighting and getting loot. There is an argument the the Tyranids are technically not evil, but they are more like beasts than anything.
The Imperial Guard are normal humans given a weapon called a lasgun which is referred to as a “flashlight” by players. Basically it’s a gun that doesn’t jam and shots superheated lasers that can shoot a fist sized hole thru your body but is still one of the weakest weapons out there. The only thing is that the guard is all about numbers, they are sent and die by the millions and are backed up by massive amounts of tanks and artillery. There is a joke that anyone who makes fun of a lasgun has never had to cross a field being shot by a thousand of them.
Nothing to actually watch, as they're audio story shorts. But I highly recommend the Vox in the Void's channel audio called "Abomination"* and BorderPrince's "Cometh the hour"; both epic insights to 40K! * and "Gav & Bob" Oh and 300ft is about 75 washing machines, just fyi¬! :D
Honestly I'm not much of a VTuber guy but you're pretty cool I'll say since you're actually getting into Warhammer I highly recommend watching Cyan Man or watching or reading the Horus Heresy animations and books they are fantastic
Thank you souch for the recommendations! And yeah vtubers aren't for everyone, but I'm just trying to be a normal dude/stream that just happens to use a Vtuber model haha
"I'm gonna start calling everything I don't like 'heresy'." Yeah, you and the rest of the Warhammer community(especially people who play the Imperium).
Btw the emperor of mankind is a shape shifter nobody has seen his true form and he kinda shows up as how people believe him to be orcs see him as some mighty warlord rivaling their own gods the mechanis see him as the avatar of the machine god ect and its not really explained if its something he does on purpose or just because hes the most powerful psychic (magic) being ever to exist it happens kinda psuedo-naturaly between the thoughts of the person and his power mixing or how ever you wanna explain it
"Bricky" He covers all the factions in 40K in 2 different parts one covering all the human stuff and the other covering the xenos stuff Highly recommended~ youtube.com/@Bricky
Another great reaction! I hope to see you react to more stuff in the future! If you're looking for some good recounts of battles, Arch Warhammer has a bunch of great series that go through some of the larger battles. I love his series about the Siege of Vraks, his videos are some of the first I saw, and I still love the way he adds so much detail it's hard to find anywhere else. I see a lot of people trying to gatekeep and turn you off his content, but those types call everything some sort of 'ist' or 'phobic' if it isn't falling over itself to insert woke talking points, and in the case of Arch, I see a lot of people in the comments just outright lying about him. Janovich also has a few amazing series that cover Vraks, from more of a tactical standpoint, and I also like their coverage of the Krieg Civil War! I'm sure that people have mentioned it, but the 10th edition and 9th edition cinematics are definitely something I could see you enjoying a lot! There are also some absolutely badass animations by a content creator named Sodaz, though I think he was forced to stop by GW; his videos are still mirrored on other channels, though!
Welcome to the Grim darkness of Warhammer 40k my friend, astartes are to your right, normal infantry are to your left, and xenos and chaos scum are straight ahead, dont forget to pick up your complimentary bolter if your headed that way and have fun purging. (Ps you should check out the story and lore of The Death Korps Of Krieg to really understand how badass normal humans can get in this universe)
Among Bricky's nutshell lore video, he also has a channel dedicated to giving the lore in a, as they describe, "entertainment first" type of way. *_Adeptus Ridiculous_* is the channel name. If you want a somewhat in-depth lore dive while being memeful, that's the place to go.
"I wasnt aware warhammer 40k was a wrestling simulator." ... ... ... "And today we'll see a ladder match between Abaddon the Despoiler and Tyberos the Red Wake!!"
I'd recommend Luetin09 but... Mmm, I am very dumb and I don't know whether his content style is really, react-able? Either way thunder Psyker's reviews on the dawn of war franchise (as, slow as they are regretfully being made then again they're absolute works of art.)
to give you an idea how nasty the bolter is picture a grenade being shot out of a gun and as you start to feel said grenade pierce your skin and enter your body it goes off blowing a chuck of your body into meat soup also if you thought giant bullet with gothic stuff on it is great try the sisters of battle they literally drop churches from low orbit and drive pipe organ rocket launcher tanks
You find a bullet with Gothic Architecture weird? Have you forgotten about the Sisters of Battle dropping Literal, whole ass and fully functional, Churches filled with sisters as drop pods?

I would also say the bullets aren't just the size of red bull cans. They are rocket propelled drilling ( so they can pierce tough stuff) explosion rounds. And that's normal they get bigger and better.

@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uyits also a medium-sized titan. Everybody gangster until the cityblock-sized cathedral starts walking.
To this day my favorite faction is The Sisters of Battle dropping churches as drop pods from lower orbit while playing gothic music using flame weapons having runes on the armor having babies fly around giving them ammo and having your main battle tank be a giant pipe organ that shoots rockets ooh my it makes me feel somekind of way
I love the image you just put into my head with those desriptions!
Thunder hammer: an astartes power weapon unique amongst most melee weapons of their class. Instead of generating a constant power field that increases the damage output of the weapon, the thunder hammer channels the power field output into the point of contact when the hammer hits something, producing a sound akin to a thunderclap. The impact is just as devestating as the sound it makes.
it's primarily used by Astartes in Tactical Dreadnought Armour aka Terminator Armour in tandem with a Storm Shield in close combat specialist teams
Elemental hammers are some of the. Coolest weapons and it sounds amazing!
In 40k, the imperium of man who the space marines fight for are ultra-mega religious, which means spaceships that equate to a cathedral with gigantic turbines and every building has church elements everywhere. In fact, in the recent release, darktide, the sights are literal church window frames with a sight line.
That's so badass and awe striking! Wtf
"I'm going to start calling everything I don't like heresy."
Welcome to the Imperium, the Inquisitors are accepting applications
The tau are basically aliens made to look like classic greys
Just about all their weapons and armor look like samurai armor or gundams
Their ideology is the greater good but the ruling cast often abuse their power
On the bright side they are willing to be allies with just about anyone
Down side they once tried to be allies with the dark eldar who are basically the cenobites from hellraiser with pointy ears
That ended about as well for the tau as you'd expect
The blood marines are basically what u get if u jack someone into the matrix but all the info they are fed is just crusader memes!
Wait, isn't that just Black Templars?

Power armor generally weighs about half a ton, but that backpack is a micro power plant that increases the users strength between 2.5-3 times their normal strength with plus “auto-senses” of hay give you night vision, infrared and motion detectors, air filters, etc.
Master chief is equal to a space marine scout at most.
Kasrkin IMO. Even a SM Scout feels like a bit much.
I do want to mention that there's a faction with imperium called The sisters of battle. That have a tank that is literally a pipe organ missile launcher, and they drop churches as drop pods from the low orbit onto their enemies.

Once you’ve watched Badger’s other 40K related video (Deathwing), you’ve got a few options:
If you want super serious lore breakdowns, you can look into guys like Arch (formerly ArchWarhammer).
If you want humorous yet long form breakdowns, I’ve heard that Bricky’s videos are pretty good. Most people suggest watching his videos about all the factions.
If you want something that’s funny, beginner friendly, but lore respectful, my key recommendation is “If The Emperor Had A Text To Speech Device”. This series is how I got properly introduced to 40K, and it really made me want to learn more. Bear in mind that it’s a long series, and has a LOT of side content that should not be skipped.
Thank you for the recommendation! I love seeing them!
I was eyeing the bricky video about ever faction, maybe that will be the next react
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uycheck out Arch If you want breakdowns of each Horus Heresy novel individually
Rip tts o7
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy Don't check out Arch unless you actually enjoy racism, cringy right-wing edginess, and a Norwegian faking a posh British accent to sound constantly smug and superior. The very reason he's not known as Arch Warhammer anymore is because his behavior got so bad that Games Workshop stepped in and said they didn't want him representing their brand.
@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy Please do check bricky out. I think you'll really enjoy his method of explaining everything. Also, loving your content!
Everything would be clearer after 2 hours of Bricky's Every Faction Explained
I have seen that in my feed and people recommended it so I think I am gonna record that one today for an upload later today or monday morning! :D
Had some audio issues but should have it tomorrow
"did they put gothic architecture on a giant bullet?"
why yes, yes they did. welcome to 40k, where there is no peace, no respite, no forgiveness, only war.
They have presentation down pat at least in the war
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy even in a future where so much has been forgotten, never to be relearned, there is still one thing the imperium knows how to do. How to gothic the heck out of their stuff.

Thanks for the recommendation! And pole arms have great reach, so good taste
Bricky and Adeptus Ridiculous are good spots for newer people to get into the lore that has a lighthearted (memey) edge to it, In fact i know Bricky has 3 introduction videos ( part 1 and part 2 of "Every Warhammer Fantasy faction explained,, and another that is an overview of the 18(20) space marine legions) that are a general introduction to pretty much all of warhammer, it just dips its toe into the lore but is a decent place to start. and Adeptus Ridiculos is a podcast style show that has a good back catalogue of tons of lore and memes.
I am actually thinking of doing the part 1 of the factions today to upload later today or monday morning :D
Had some audio issues but should have it tomorrow
I'd love to see him react to Adeptus Ridiculous, especially their early stuff, back when DK was still mindblown by everything Bricky said.
Before the Sequel Space Marine 2 I recommend playing Warhammer 40k Boltgun, a Boomer Shooter made by Focus Entertainment Indie branch (same devs creating Space Marine 2) where you take as a roll of a Sternguard Veteran, (basically an Ultramarine with a white Helmet and its a Mark 6 Corvus Pattern helmet) where you investigate a strange anomaly on the Planet. after the events on Graia and Incarceration of Captain Titus, you will be sent via Orbital Drop to the surface and investigate find the anomaly, there you will be thrusted into battle fighting off Heretics, Traitor Astartes, Daemons, and other dangers on the planet to save it from total Annihilation via Exterminatus.
With a quote from thr Sternguard himself: _" I will finish what Captain Titus Started!"_
Edit: Boltgun has the same dilemma with the story but the Gameplay is an absolute Euphoria to play. Recommend playing to believe.
I was actually thinking of playing Boltgun or the first Space Marine game (my discord recommended them both haha) on Twitch and I use a Space Marine Vtuber model and voice changer to sound like a space marine
Then I can play in character as a space marine, just need to learn a bit more about them
40k invented the term 'grimdark'
(yes, seriously)
2:04 now that you mention that StarCraft was going to be originally a warhammer 40k prequel but legal problem enter the frame so blizzard just took the ideas and make their own shit thats why terran marines, space marine look similar but totally different,the zerg look like Tyranids etc
That makes so much sense!
He asked what is a normal person going to do, easy drown them in las fire.
And in artillery shells.
6:09 that is my alarm to wake me up in the morning. Does it do the job? Yes. Does my family hate hearing it whenever I come to vist? Also yes.
Among others proposed here Text to Speech, Arch (potentially controversial, mostly due to his morbid and gritty millennial/early Gen Z humour & calling the GW company out on its toxic practices, and social politics), there are a number of good 40K TH-camrs I would propose. Although, I would highly propose the aforementioned "If the Emperor had a Text to Speech" by Alfabusa, its a parody but it also introduces to the lore very well.
PancreasNoWork does a number of 40K videos and some from other settings, Baldermort is the undisputed King of 40K Lore, and another great Reactor channel called OldManReacts also has his own lore channel where many of them are goddamn rants on characters or things in the setting. In the case of the OldMan, he also has been slowly working on a "Mistakes of the Emperor" series which explains some of the more historical lore coming to light in the Horus Heresy which caused the Imperium to become as it is in the modern day. Additionally, a FanWithTooMuchTime has a series called "Warhammer 40K vs Star Wars", a crossover between the universes.
Oh man, thanks for the recommendations! There's a whole world of content creators I have been introduced to, thank you so much!
Say far gar far away from Arch. Dude is just a fucking and I know the word is overused now but actual Nazi/Nazi sympathier
I may be completely wrong, but I've heard many times that the origin of the term Grim Dark came from Warhammer between the late 80's to early 90's.
That's what others have said so I think you are right
"It must really suck to be a normal ass human in this univers"
Ohh trust me, you do not know how bad it is for a normal person in the grimdankness of the far future.
You could be turned in to many things, for example.
Corps starch a commen food for the starved masses of a hive city, a slave for a dark eldar (you dont want that), turned in to a powder and snorted by an emperors child, turned into biomase and eaten by a tyraned. Vaproised by a necrons flayer weapon witch litraly rips you atom by atom.
Love seeing Space Marine getting more love years later.
"Why'd they have to make the big men in power armor into sexy anime girls with big mommy milkies?"
I mean... there is a faction in 40k that is exclusively sexy anime girls in power armor with big mommy milkies.
Say hello to the Adepta Sororitas aka Sisters Of Battle.
I have now seen them and all I gotta say is...nice hehe
I mean I remember seeing the Gothic Armada trailer and they had like scripture chiseled into their rounds.
“Let ranks of burnished steel, crush the serpent beneath thy heel.” Carved onto a shell.
Also ships and tanks shaped like cathedrals.
Favourite is the tank that uses a pipe organ as a missile rack.
I love watching people get sucked into the lore of Warhammer for the first time. The whole "Oh! It's like HALO, or Gears of War, or Starcraft.. etc.." - then the person finding out all of those are heavily inspired by W40K. The creators of those having grown up with W40K and W40K itself having been around since the 1980's. W40K in turn, itself was HEAVILY inspired by stories that came before, example; from history, mythologies of the world, and the original BOOKS of DUNE and STARSHIP TROOPERS.
Also - There's something magical about discovering this incredibly BRUTAL universe, yet Humanity is NOT the underdog. Humanity is holding the line against no less than 7 other factions, that each on their own in any other IP, would be the single greatest threat... And they are doing so all at once, attacked on all sides, completely surrounded and outnumbered, all concurrently all the way until the current setting of W40K (which is supposed to be our irl timeline) just set in the year 40,000... While the "prequel" setting of it, the start of the Imperium of Man/The Great Crusade and subsequent events of The Horus Heresy is set at around the year 30,000(~ish).
I am very quickly learning how much this franchise inspired other stuff I loved and this has been a fun journey!
of all the races in Warhammer 40k the Orks are the only one having fun as they live only to fight there's even one story of the Ork Warboss Tuska The Daemon Killa the only character to get something of a happy ending in 40k
I'm glad some is having fun there at least haha
when you get to know the lore better, I recommend these two videos: The Galaxy's BIGGEST Troll? Trazyn EXPLAINED! Warhammer 40K Necrons Lore , this is about a really funny character of a very ancient race , The last church , this will make you understand well the philosophy of the emperor and what he wanted to do but is a little bit long😁 , btw , the biggest space marine is Tyberos the red wake , In addition to the second game in the series of this video , another will come out that is more on the strategic genre : Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader
Thank you for the recommendations! I'll add that to the list, go a lot of great recommendations, thank!

You think gothic architecture on a giant bullet was impressive, you should see what shoots that bullet. The cannon is either one of the arms or is the central cannon of the titan, and there is an entire cathedral on the back of the titan. In the imperium of man, if you don’t go to church, the church literally goes to you.
Yes, you do have to play this, its crazy fun.
Playing it on twitch today actually, gonna use a voice mod to sound like a marine and try to be in character hahaha
Space Marine actually has two sequels:
Space Marine II, where we follow Titus' exploits
Boltgun, where we clean up some of the aftermath from this game's events.
The Salamanders, the only Space Marine Chapter that could be considered warm and friendly... to the citizens of the Imperium at least.
Also they REALLY like fire.
Little bit of Ork terminology for ya.
Git: Dumb person
Krump: Kill
Zog: exclamation similar to the F Word
Dakka: firepower
Gubbinz: arsenal?
Shootah: pretty straight forward
Choppah: sharp melee weapon.
Grottling: tiny goblin-like ork
These are basics, but theres much more terminology.
Don't forget their apparent ability to make weapons and mechs from literal JUNK and making things that work, even though logic dictates they shouldn't.
@@Bakuganluver23 and the fact they can breathe in space because they're too dumb to grasp that they arent supposed to.
14:30
I 100% agree with this. More games need to have a mechanic to swap firing hand.
If youre curious about the lore, but you don't want to make an hour plus long video, i recommend WesHammer or Majorkill. Very informative while keeping things short.
"Did they put gothic architecture on the missile?"
Yes: would you also like churches used as drop pods? How about a battle tank which is a pipe organ missile launcher?
I am not kidding or exaggerating.
Pipe organ missile launcher!? Well take me to church!
The term ‘grimdark’ originated with 40K :)
Washing machine is basically a meter in metric, a decemeter is a tenth of a washing machine, a centimeter is 1/100 of a washing machine.. And millimeter is a sancirn size, 1/1000 of a washer machine
Within the first six minutes, he was converted. Mark the time at 6:26 for his proclamation of calling everything he dislikes: "Heresy".
I am one of y'all now haha
Welcome to the 40K Community friend, hope you enjoy your fall down the Rabbit Hole. 😎
Thank you kindly, y'all are so welcoming
21:23 yeah shooting a space marine bolter can rip your arm off (avg joe a boltgun|gaurdsmen grade| can still fracture your shoulder remember gaurdsmen are like marines 100x)
By 100x I mean better
6:20 basically Imperium 101 lol
im gonat start calling everything i don't like heresy congratulations you are now officially a 40k fan
12:26 Man,either are some nerds bad at math, or red bull cans have shrunk a lot.
The number in caliber is the diameter of the bullet in inches.
so a .75 cal boltgun "bullet" would be 0.75 inches in diameter
A bolt shell is "only" 3/4 of an inch wide!
Even the heavy bolter is "only" 1.5 cal or 1.5 inches, which is still smaller than a can of red bull.
A better allegory is actually a shotgun shell, as 0.75 inches is roughly the same size as a regular 12 gauge shotgun.
We actually have explosive slugs for the 12 gauge shotgun today.
yes that is actually a door
orks get creative, and since tank and bunker doors are made to survive, and they have that neat visor in them sometimes, that makes them ideal for use as a shield
not everyone sucks
the four armed emperor loves you
the emperor no longer has long flowing luscious hair, no matter how much the custodes tried
he was also mostly illusion back when he was alive
10:15 purged is the word your looking for
krump is the action of hitting sumthin until its flat bits are krumpled up
I may love the orks now due to their creativity! I learned so much!
"The only thing standing between us and them, are the space marines!"
Yeah... if you don't count the Imperial Guard, mechanicus, skitarii, titans, imperial knights, imperial navy, rogue traders, sisters of battle, enforcers, and various planetary defense forces and militias...
Then yeah... _only_ the Space Marines.
Not only Bolters shoot huge-ass rounds, but they aren't even bullets, they are basically rockets, self-propelled and all, and they explode, because of course
The emperor no longer has that hair. After a civil war called the Horus Heresy against his favored son Horus, the emperor was mortally wounded and put on the Golden Throne. 40k takes place 10,000 years after that civil war and the Emperor is now just a rotting corpse on the throne and kept “alive” by sacrificing 1,000 pyskers to him every day
That is horrible!....They cant get him a nice wig at least?
I would HIGHLY recommend the Emperor Text to Speech series which gets funnier and funnier as it goes.
However I would recommend doing some research on the Primarchs and Horus Heresy as well to understand some of the jokes and lore.
The Horus Heresy is VAST with lord and there are lots and lots of books that take place during it.
Salamanders are another faction of space marines like the blood ravens and the ultramarines basically each faction of the marines serve under one of the emperors demigod children/science experiments and some of them got currupted by the choas gods and desserted to the darkside with their armies so you have like a solid i wanna say 5 ish or more on the side of man still and another at least 4 that switched teams tried to kill the emperor and left mankind with a half broken living god stuck on a throne that technically entraps him in the broken body and keeps him from resurrecting himself and becoming full power again cause humanity is stupid and doesnt listen to the god they worship
Well goo to see our stupidity is still around in the 40k century
And let me guess the Salamanders love fire? Guessing since salamanders are usually associated with fire due to an old fairy tale that salamanders are born from fire. When people put logs on for a fire, salamanders may run out since they were in the damp wood and some people thought they came from the fire
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy i would guess but I think the demigods named there armies or and I'm not sure 100% if it's mechanically or lore wise thematic or if it's like 101st airborne infantry nicknaming their unit the bulldogs (as an example) because most of my limited knowledge comes from hour long break down videos of the history of this or that in x settings while I'm bored at work or grinding some game mindlessly that doesn't require a bunch of focus
he knows what a Krogan is. he’s now my favorite content creator
Do people NOT know what they are?! Mass effect is one of my favorite sci Fi game!
Sadly the rounds the regular bolter fires are not the size of red bull cans, they are .75 cal, so half again as wide in diameter as a .50 cal, or just under 20mm which is similar to the rounds of a WW2 anti-tank rifle.
The reason the tips of the barrels on the bolters are so huge is probably a combination of the plastic casting methods used to make the figurines not allowing for finer details and it just looking more badass that way.
If I had to think up a lore reason for the barrels of the boltguns having such loose tolerances, I'd probably go with it being to avoid the barrels sooting/gunking up from the gyrojet propelled ammunition too fast and jamming all the time.
The heavy bolter I believe fires rounds about the same size as the GAU-8 Avenger cannon that the A-10 Warthog is built around, which is still a fair bit smaller than Red Bull cans, although some lore writings has it firing fist sized bolts, which is pretty in line with soda can size.
40k lore gets ridiculously detailed when it comes to technical stuff in certain places and then when you flip a page to the next related thing everything can get very vague and wibbly wobbly for whatever reason.
Well now that I have learned they are not red bull sized, my excitement is gone hehe jk jk haha
You’d be surprised good sir the Guard are actually well beloved faction in the universe and one of the most played in the board game. They are normal men and women who despite all odds have countless victories against the enemies of the Imperium of Man. They are the backbone of the Imperium and without them all of the Emperors light would’ve long fallen. They may not be super soldiers but they don’t have to be to kick some Xenos ass!
FOR THE EMPEROR AND CADIA FELL BEFORE THE GUARD!!!
Fun fact, the Thunder Hammer (and Power Fist which isn't in this) are pretty much anti-tank weapons. Yep someone made a fist so they can punch a tank to death.
Also, that red bull can is flat wrong. I get the joke, but a .75 cal is just the bore diameter in inches so you're talking a 19mm bullet. That's huge but it's not close to a can of red bull. If you want a size comparison, a AA battery is about in diameter 13mm so a little more than that or about a mm larger than a 12 gauge shotgun shell.
Plus, just to warn you, the barrier between 40k lore and memes is really thin and people get confused between the 2. Which is why everyone thinks a .75 cal is a red bull can despite a red bull can being like 3x the size.
The Imperium of Man as it stands, and has for around 10,000 years, is what a famous last stand feels like: walls are falling down around you and everyone is too busy fighting off a seemingly endless wave of genocidal monsters to fix even a single problem, the few that can are just barely keeping the structure holding. That describes the Imperium well.
Humans get a lot of shit from people who don't understand the universe and are judging it from a distance from the perspective of a modern human. Yeah, it's bad. It's also bad for good reason. The nature of Grimdark makes the darkest elements of the universe a necessary component for survival. Regardless of what species or faction you choose.
Seriously, I can't recommend them enough: Bricky's 'All Warhammer 40k factions explained' or 'The Commisar's Guide to Warhammer 40k' by Old Man. These are the good starting points for the lore.
Although if you want to take it slow and keep it digestible but also funny, watch "If the Emperor had a Text to Speec Device" by Bruva Alfabusa.
I hope I don't come off as nagging, I'm just super enthusiastic when someone new joins the fold.
There are also a bunch of animated fan films you could watch that are super well done.
"The Last Church" and "Helsreach"
Alright, that's enough pestering you. Honestly, I hope you enjoy this gloomy fuckfest of a universe we all love to not live in.
Thank you for the recommendation! And yeah it seems like everyone is "bad" but the world they live in demands it to survive and that's such a cool setting!
I would suggest Baldermort since he does super cool voice overs of Warhammer 40k stuff.
PancreasNoWork is GREAT for Warhammer40k explanations! Please do check him out!!!
Majorkill is pretty funny.
Bricky is great too.
Oh some new names for recommendations, thank you!
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy No problem! They are some of my favorites! I hope you enjoy their videos if you check them out!
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy Luetin09 is also a *great* person to watch too!
Anyone other than Arch or OneMindSyndicate, honestly. The former is constantly inserting his own politics into everything and going on long rants about people he doesn't like in the community in the middle of of telling you stuff about the topic in question that is questionable in its accuracy. The latter just reads from the wiki verbatim.
@@sethmiller2532 yeah that's why I didn't suggest those two. I've only heard negative things about them and stuff so.
if i had to give you recommendation to start 40k journey:
watch Bricky Every Single Warhammer Space Marine Legion in a Nutshell -so you know what chapters we have of God Emperor Angels.
watch arch Space Marine Geneseed - to know how they are "made" (also you could watch DrChrisRaynor to see how close we are rn to make them IRL)
watch Bricky every faction part 1&2 to have general idea of wtf is happening in the universe
watch arch 40k Lore, The Death Korps of Krieg! - to know about the most loyal and zeal human faction. also most people fav group and reason for shovel meme
then go into whatever picked your interests hole, there is lots of things different people love
i would recommend videos about Adepta Sororitas and Inqusition as they are fun and show lots of ... (how not be labeled as heretic) "points" of Imperium.
The reaction to the first faction video is gonna be published soon! It was really fun!
I highly recommend checking out Bricky's videos on warhammer 40k. They are the best ones to watch when starting out and he's got videos on talking about each faction and each space marine legion. I also recommend the Adeptus Ridiculous videos as well. It's Bricky explaining 40k Topics to one of his friends that has no knowledge on 40k.
Glad to see more people getting into 40k such as yourself and I hope you enjoy it.
I have and I loved the part one about the factions!
Movie is Kingsman yum😂
Kingsman! Yeah that's it! Omg I didn't even look it up afterwards lol. Thank you!
They got the bolter size wrong. A .75 is the standard bolter round which is a 20mm. The .998 is the HEAVY bolter caliber. Also, heavy bolters are typically belt fed and dont have a semi auto option. It's like comparing an M16 to an M240.
The Hammer is called a Thunderhammer and its a anti tank weapon.... Of course the emperor has the most glorious hair in the galaxy.
13:24 Oh dude; just wait until you hear about the Mega Bolter. Double miniguns that fire tank shells! Rule 2 of 40K: there's always a bigger gun!
Okay, so the people saying that bolter shells are the size of Red Bull cans are incorrect. As Badger says in the video it's actually a .75 caliber, which is about the size of a 12 gauge shotgun shell. These guys are going on the size of the muzzle brake, but that's a common error. Just look at the size of the magazine and the ejection port and you'll see why it wouldn't work if the muzzle brake was the size of the bore.
22:37 They released an updated Anniversery Edition, since the sequel is coming out this year. The price is up, but it's still a great game.
9:25 Don't worry, 40k also features the Sisters of Battle aka Nuns with Guns. And fun fact, Sisters of Battle are NOT required to be celibate. Several 40k characters have been mentioned as having slept with one.
The funny thing is that the closest thing to a "good guy" faction are the Orks. I am not kidding, because the other factions are assholes in some way and some more than others, but the Orks do their thing because it just fun like fighting and getting loot.
There is an argument the the Tyranids are technically not evil, but they are more like beasts than anything.
Go check out Old Man Reacts/Lore, Stories and Theories. His Fiveish Minute Lore series and other 40k lore videos are fantastic.
The Imperial Guard are normal humans given a weapon called a lasgun which is referred to as a “flashlight” by players. Basically it’s a gun that doesn’t jam and shots superheated lasers that can shoot a fist sized hole thru your body but is still one of the weakest weapons out there. The only thing is that the guard is all about numbers, they are sent and die by the millions and are backed up by massive amounts of tanks and artillery.
There is a joke that anyone who makes fun of a lasgun has never had to cross a field being shot by a thousand of them.
hey, if it works for ants it can work for us! Lots of small things can do a lot
Yesh! There is a new game coming and I am grabbing a copy!
I kind of want it now too!

Oh and 300ft is about 75 washing machines, just fyi¬! :D
2:30 He also stands roughly 12 feet tall.
Honestly I'm not much of a VTuber guy but you're pretty cool I'll say since you're actually getting into Warhammer I highly recommend watching Cyan Man or watching or reading the Horus Heresy animations and books they are fantastic
Thank you souch for the recommendations!
And yeah vtubers aren't for everyone, but I'm just trying to be a normal dude/stream that just happens to use a Vtuber model haha
"I'm gonna start calling everything I don't like 'heresy'." Yeah, you and the rest of the Warhammer community(especially people who play the Imperium).
It's just so fun to say
Btw the emperor of mankind is a shape shifter nobody has seen his true form and he kinda shows up as how people believe him to be orcs see him as some mighty warlord rivaling their own gods the mechanis see him as the avatar of the machine god ect and its not really explained if its something he does on purpose or just because hes the most powerful psychic (magic) being ever to exist it happens kinda psuedo-naturaly between the thoughts of the person and his power mixing or how ever you wanna explain it
I can see why he is the emperor!
"Bricky"
He covers all the factions in 40K in 2 different parts one covering all the human stuff and the other covering the xenos stuff
Highly recommended~

And a third covering the space Marine chapters and legions~
There's fanart of the Emperor and the primarchs as woman, and they are really good

I am thinking I will watch the faction one well part one today to upload later today or monday morning :D
Had some audio issues but should have it tomorrow
Another great reaction! I hope to see you react to more stuff in the future!
If you're looking for some good recounts of battles, Arch Warhammer has a bunch of great series that go through some of the larger battles. I love his series about the Siege of Vraks, his videos are some of the first I saw, and I still love the way he adds so much detail it's hard to find anywhere else.
I see a lot of people trying to gatekeep and turn you off his content, but those types call everything some sort of 'ist' or 'phobic' if it isn't falling over itself to insert woke talking points, and in the case of Arch, I see a lot of people in the comments just outright lying about him.
Janovich also has a few amazing series that cover Vraks, from more of a tactical standpoint, and I also like their coverage of the Krieg Civil War!
I'm sure that people have mentioned it, but the 10th edition and 9th edition cinematics are definitely something I could see you enjoying a lot!
There are also some absolutely badass animations by a content creator named Sodaz, though I think he was forced to stop by GW; his videos are still mirrored on other channels, though!
Welcome to the Grim darkness of Warhammer 40k my friend, astartes are to your right, normal infantry are to your left, and xenos and chaos scum are straight ahead, dont forget to pick up your complimentary bolter if your headed that way and have fun purging. (Ps you should check out the story and lore of The Death Korps Of Krieg to really understand how badass normal humans can get in this universe)
Ufff TAO they dont melee,ultimate heresy
They use range a lot if I have learned correctly
@@RaveSpecterReacts-qr5uy yep
Among Bricky's nutshell lore video, he also has a channel dedicated to giving the lore in a, as they describe, "entertainment first" type of way.
*_Adeptus Ridiculous_* is the channel name. If you want a somewhat in-depth lore dive while being memeful, that's the place to go.
Well I do love me some memes, thanks for the recommendation!
"I wasnt aware warhammer 40k was a wrestling simulator."

"And today we'll see a ladder match between Abaddon the Despoiler and Tyberos the Red Wake!!"
Omg and here comes a chaos marine from the top rope!!!!
LOL he called the human space marine "orc"
I'm learning, I sorry for the heresy hehe
You really should watch the animation about Arming an Astartes.
You should watch getting chokeslammed in payday 2 by Russian badger
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll add it to the list!
I'd recommend Luetin09 but... Mmm, I am very dumb and I don't know whether his content style is really, react-able?
Either way thunder Psyker's reviews on the dawn of war franchise (as, slow as they are regretfully being made then again they're absolute works of art.)
to give you an idea how nasty the bolter is picture a grenade being shot out of a gun and as you start to feel said grenade pierce your skin and enter your body it goes off blowing a chuck of your body into meat soup also if you thought giant bullet with gothic stuff on it is great try the sisters of battle they literally drop churches from low orbit and drive pipe organ rocket launcher tanks
You find a bullet with Gothic Architecture weird? Have you forgotten about the Sisters of Battle dropping Literal, whole ass and fully functional, Churches filled with sisters as drop pods?
