It really conveys that feeling of being willing to give your life willingly for a cause that might be lost, just for the chance that there's some hope. At least when portrayed like in this video.
That last quote... glad Ferrus Manus gets some remembrance. The First primarch to give his life for the Emperor’s dream. Thank you. The Iron Hands have been role models for me since middle school. Having a prosthetic leg since age 5, and feeling singled out for it all the time, I never really found anyone I could get attached to... that is, until the first time I heard the words “Flesh is Weak.” That opened up a door in my mind and imagination that sounds and looks just like this, only it’s an army of Iron Hands terminators marching into a maelstrom of conflict, knowing that despite all they had lost, all that had been broken, they still have the strength to see their duty done. Strength through adversity, and defiance to the end is what the Iron Hands gave me. I’d be in a much darker place if it weren’t for their story. UPON THE ANVIL AND BY THE IRON.
One of the things I like a lot about the Warhammer 40k artwork done, and a lot of credit is due to the artists for this and making it pretty consistent across the board, is how they tend to resemble a renaissance style of depicting the romance of warfare. Despite us knowing how gritty and dark it actually is lore wise. I think it would be accurate to say this is what a remembrancer would create to present to imperial citizens, just like many artists did back in our own history portraying famous battles and events.
You know I never thought of it that way, but now I cannot unsee it. You're 100% correct. It really taps into that primal recognition of the rebirth of western civilization after Rome's fall.
You know, they don't have to show what it actually looks like, although they do many times. The essence of true art is to catch the underlying meaning and to show that. And I think, that Warhammer artists are a group of real ones, with real talent and message.
_"In the face of overwhelming odds, and with countless enemies on every forseeable front...humanity continued to march forward."_ *The Emperor Protects.*
''we have lived under a brutal regime where billions die everyday for over 10,000 years and they are our only hope'' is hands down the best description of the empire. it only makes sense once you realize just how horrific everyone and everything else is in the warhammer universe. the empire isnt good at all, but compared to everything else out there, they're armored angels. its a literal hellscape.
Just to add: 1. The main reason the Empire is the best option is because they are unified. Under any other system, cracks will appear and collapse would be inevitable. 2. The enemies out there are fucking insane. I remember a VOD of the TTRPG Only War. The players ended up like the movie Predator '87, but they all died.
@@pogopenguin The Tau are space commies though, they literally breed people for tasks and have any human's who join them "fixed" and are not above lobotamizing anyone who doesn't go with the "greater good." They are what the WEF aspires to be so I wouldn't call them good.
Nice seeing one of my favorite quotes from The Master of Mankind at the start. "And in a sunless realm the sun rose at last." Gives me goosebumps every time I read it.
That chapter of the book and that sentence in particular was the main reason why I became interested in this universe. Goosebumps just remembering the arrival of the anathema.
@@hvemskall8265 Me and my Dad loved that book. The whole book the Custodians and Sisters were almost constantly on the backfoot, just barely holding on against the tide of Darkness. Then the Anathema arrives and the tables turn. I think that was the book that made me realize that Chaos doesn't just see the Emperor as an enemy, but fear him.
@@lorgaraurelian6676 Now if only GW hadn't changed Big E from misguided hero to deranged psychopath with the new era lore. Doesn't help ADB is a hardcore Chaos fanboy and hated even The Old Emperor
Hi, i Just started to look into 40k lore even tough i've never even played It and i don't know where the lore starts. What's the First book or story that i have to read?
The full passage from the end Guilliman followed Captain-General Valoris of the Adeptus Custodes as they descended down the pathway towards the Golden Throne. With every step, he moved slower, his mind tearing itself between the practical and theoretical of what might transpire when he would finally cross the threshold and come face to face with his father. All of Ultramar’s resources had been put to the task of making this moment a reality but only now was it dawning on him that he had never taken a moment to actually think about what he wanted to say. “We have arrived,” said Valoris snapping Roboute out of his trance as they stopped before a massive gate made out of gold covered by a gothic arch on both sides. “I must warn you, standing near his presence is difficult even for us, be wary that you are not overwhelmed.” “I have been here before” retorted the Lord of Ultramar firmly. “Yet everything has changed since you last tread these halls Primarch.” snapped the Custodes, his resentment clearly showing through his stoic demeanor. “Know this, if you even so much as have a treacherous thought in his presence, I will end you”. Before Guilliman could respond, Valoris put up his hand to silence him. “Enough talk, the master beckons.” Realizing that no good would come out of addressing the Captain General's insults, Roboute opened the gate and walked inside the throne room. When he entered, all he saw was a golden light that encompassed every inch of the chamber. It was oddly calm despite the towering presence of the Emperor emanating from the center of the room. All of the Mechanicus adepts tasked with preserving the Golden Throne and the Custodes charged with guarding it had been removed so that the master of mankind could grant his son a private audience. As he approached the throne, he realized that he had tears in his eyes. He had chastised some of his sons who had offered such displays of reverence after he had been resurrected and the irony was not lost on him. Perhaps he thought, this is how all humans were genetically programmed to react when reunited with the man who had sired them. Guilliman gently lowered himself to his knees and whispered a single word. “Father.” Suddenly he felt the aura within the room begin to change dramatically. Where there had been peace, energy now oozed from every pore electrifying the entire atmosphere and then the psychic shock struck him. THE THIRTEENTH RETURNS Gasping for air as if being drowned by a tidal wave, Guilliman tried his best to compose himself. The psychic essence of the emperor was like an inexplicable weight hammering him into to the ground and if he wasn’t kneeling already, he would have surely had to do so now. “What has happened to you father?” Questioned the Primarch painstakingly. He couldn’t explain what was wrong but deep down he sensed something had changed within the Emperor after he had been entombed for countless millennia. WHAT FATE DECREED FOR ME "What do you mean?" Responded Guilliman, bewildered by the answer. He had never heard him use such words during the Great Crusade and in his desperation to grasp their meanings he asked his father another question, one that had gnawed away at him ever since his rebirth. “How could you have allowed all this misery and strife to befall our Imperium?” I AM NOT THE SHEPHERD HUMANITY SEEKS. IT WAS ALWAYS MY AMBITION THAT THEY WOULD NO LONGER HAVE NEED OF ME. ALL I CAN DO NOW IS TO PROTECT THEM AS I SEE FIT SO THAT ONE DAY THEY MAY RISE ON THEIR OWN. Guilliman’s confusion quickly turned into a burning rage. "And if they don’t?" Bellowed the Primarch angrily, “What if their flame is extinguished long before they realize your dream for you?” THEN THAT IS WHAT FATE WOULD HAVE DECREED FOR THEM "Why do you keep talking of fate?" Spat Roboute, “You had always taught us that humanity would forge its own destiny!” Guilliman’s shock became palpable. He had assumed that when he met his father, they would lay down their plans on how to strike back at all those trying to subjugate or eradicate humanity but instead, he found a grieving man looking only for a sympathetic ear. IT WAS HUBRIS THAT MADE ME BELIEVE I ALONE HAD THE ANSWERS. PRIDE IS THE GREATEST SIN WHICH IS WHY I SUFFER THE GREATEST PUNISHMENT. "And this suffering, is it penance? or your solution? To wither away while humanity begs and pleads for their savior hoping that he might listen?" I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD THEM. EVERY LIE, EVERY PRAYER, EVERY SHOUT AND EVERY SCREAM. I HEARD YOU WHEN YOU CRIED OUT FOR ME TO SAVE YOU. WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW THE PRICE I PAID TO KEEP YOU ALIVE? OF THE BILLIONS THAT BLINKED OUT OF EXISTENCE SO THAT YOU MAY SURVIVE? The revelation made Guilliman look away from the throne out of shame. He remembered Thiel and his sons fighting to save him after he had lost his duel with Fulgrim. He detested the fact that so many souls including those of the Ultramarines had to be sacrificed to spare him. “You need not carry this burden alone.” he managed to mutter. YOU SPEAK OF FULFILLING MY VISION LORD OF ULTRAMAR. WHEN MY BODY HAD LAID SHATTERED AMONGST THE BEST OF YOU, I ALREADY KNEW MY DREAM HAD DIED WITH THEM. Those words cut deeper than any wound he had ever received on the battlefield. Knowing full well that he deserved better, Guilliman still tried to desperately steer the conversation away from the madness it was fast devolving into. “Father, I--” YOU ARE NOT MY SON, NONE OF YOU EVER WERE. YOU WERE MY GIFTS TO HUMANITY. TWENTY SHINING BEACONS WHO WOULD HAVE USHERED US INTO A NEW AGE AS THE RIGHTFUL RULERS OF THE GALAXY. YET NOT ONE OF YOU COULD RISE ABOVE YOUR PERSONAL DESIRES AND ALLOWED EVERYTHING I HAD GIVEN YOU TO BE SQUANDERED. Guilliman had heard enough. The light had finally vanished from his eyes and all he gazed upon now was a broken man on top of a decaying throne, forever locked away in his misery. Humanity revered the Emperor as a God and here was proof that he was nothing more than a man, trapped in a prison of his own making. It was becoming increasingly difficult for him to hide his resentment. He and his brothers, no matter how flawed they were, had done their best to serve this man’s vision. Every step towards damnation was taken happily if it meant the sons could appease their father. He remembered Monarchia and how his actions had culminated in the betrayal of the Word Bearers. The Emperor’s wanton disregard for the legacy of his brothers steeled Roboute’s hearts for the gathering storm. "I will not allow us to go gently into the night." Spoke the Lord of Ultramar finally. "Do you hear me, father? You may have turned your back on us but I will never betray humanity." AS IS YOUR CHOICE LORD COMMANDER That was it, realized Guilliman. This entire charade was perhaps just another act of manipulation to goad him into action. To do what was necessary to save the Imperium both from within and without. Had his father anticipated this outcome? Had he already seen this happening millennia ago? The Emperor was powerful enough to read his mind without him realizing, was he doing so now? Was anything he had said actually true? Was he always this cruel or did his entombment cause him to be this way? Every possibility made him angrier and he turned around and started walking towards the gate bringing an abrupt end to their conversation. As he opened it, he looked back and asked one final question. “Why do you still fight?” No answer came forth. The energy in the room had already begun to dissipate. He could see his father atop the golden throne but could no longer feel his presence. "ANSWER ME!" Shouted Guilliman alerting the Custodes who began to rush towards the gate to restrain him. "WHY DO YOU STILL FIGHT?" As the guards closed in around him, a piercing light stopped them all dead in their tracks and Roboute Guilliman, lord of Ultramar, received the answer he craved for. Six words were burnt into every fiber of his being. Six words that formed a phrase so trivial, so insignificant, yet it had ensured humanity’s continued existence for ten thousand years amongst an uncaring cosmos. The words had borne witness to Ferrus charging the traitors on Isstavan and had compelled Sanguinius to face Horus aboard the Vengeful Spirit. They had seen the lowliest guardsman hold the line against insurmountable odds and were a lesson that Space Marines taught themselves over and over. They were a grim reminder for each man, woman, and child of the Imperium of what was required of them. Fitting then, that the Master of Mankind spoke the same words he expected humanity to live by. ONLY IN DEATH DOES DUTY END.
@@JohnDoe-wv7ep theyve usurped the Canon with the authors perspectives on the imperium. The Emperor was supposed to be right and akin to jesus that's what made the imperium a tragedy and thus grimdark. Now it's just another shitty empire ruled by another shitty man. Its become grimderp thanks to the authors substantiating memes cause it fits their view of things.
@@paul-antonywhatshisface3954 Sorry but I really disagree. The Emperor was not ever “right”. He was a single minded autocrat who thought his vision was the best and anyone who disagreed should die. He ruled through might not the fact that he was truly humanity’s shepherd. True he had good intentions and did great things for humanity and if everything went to plan the imperial truth might have worked. Likely his first crusades were vital for humanity’s survival. But I think he was just a man, a strong man and a mighty man, but still someone vulnerable to mistakes especially that of pride. Read the short story The Last Church. It really shows how he refuses to acknowledge the deeper morals and compassion that humanity thrives on and lives by in favor of practical brutality to ensure his vision of humanity.
We are the light in this dark galaxy. We are the guardsmen who holds the line. We are the war machines of the Machine God. We are the Emperor's devoted servants. We are the Emperor's finest His astartes and we shall know no fear. We are the Hammer. We are the Emperor's Will made manifest. We are the Emperor's sons and daughters. And we will fight until the bitter end and until we are all one in the Emperor's light.

That scene of Gulliman, tears in his eyes as he begs for a reason to go on from the Lich that has replaced his once-beautiful father. The simple answer that holds such an infinite weight. Only in Death does Duty End. Honestly powerful shit and if you don’t feel equally overjoyed at the fact humanity could make it to the stars, and at the same time fucking defeated by the tragedy and sacrifice it will take not just to make it there, but to stay there and move forward, I don’t know what to tell you.
It’s a horrifying concept that in Warhanmer 40k humanity is always facing a cosmic threat which is either a bunch of demons or a bunch of otherworldly creatures, yet in the end they persevere through these and come out as the last one standing, long live humanity.
@@gravitatemortuus1080I mean the imperium is still losing pretty badly the tearing it regularly beat them and currently they have only deployed their scouting Force gazskull has become a kork which used to be able to regularly defeat the war in heaven version of the necrons it's only a matter of time before his waghhhhh becomes to powerful for the imperium to stop chaos of course is still running wild not to even mention the necrons which are no doubt the most powerful faction by far the writers are going to have to retcon them or they will literally wipe out the entire 40K universe with ease and that's not to even mention the other smaller races that are still a huge threat but not as big as necrons orks or chaos the imperium has been losing as soon as the necrons woke up
“I won’t pretend this will be easy. But it is vital. Vital to Imperial success on this world, vital perhaps to the entire Crusade. The enemy and their ambitions will be denied, if it takes every spark of our lives and every drop of our blood. We fight for the Emperor today, fight as if we were standing at his side as his chosen bodyguard. Protect the men to your left and right as if they were the Emperor himself. Do not slacken, do not falter. Victory awaits you, and if not victory, then the glory of a brave death in service to the Golden Throne of Terra. The Emperor will provide, if you are true. His hand guides us, his eyes watch over us, and even in death he will bring us to him and we shall sit in splendor at his side beyond the Eternity Gate. “For Lost Tanith, for Mighty Volpone, for Imperial Earth… advance!” - Gaunt Rallying up the Tanith and his Rivals the Volpone.
Our end has come my men oh and what a glorious end as we hold the line so the civilians could escape! look now men look how many they sent just for us they couldn’t beat us any other way! I can think of no better end standing between a unstoppable hoard of monsters and the peoples we love! so let the monsters come we shall do what what the guard has always done hold the line and remember the fight isn’t over till the last man drops his gun falls!
"Yet for all this thankless sacrifice a Guardsman is a man, just like you. He has no millennia-old genetic engineering, no prophetic leader, no miracles of faith. He has his lasgun, his orders, and those beside him. He is the Imperial Guard. And he will hold the line."
Def one of the better Little Dark Age edits I've seen, in terms of both audio and visual. Especially like the quotes you threw in; they certainly exemplify the struggles humanity faces in a galaxy full of horrors.
"I am Rylanor of the Emperor's Children. Ancient of Rites, Venerable of the Palatine Host, and proud servant of the Emperor of Mankind, beloved by all. I reject you now and always!" - Ancient Rylanor, of the Emperor's Children Legion before turning three Thousand Sons loyal again and attempting to kill his Primarch.
What a piece of work is man. How noble in reason. How infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel... In apprehension, *_how like a god._*
You forgot the second part: "In apprehension how like a god. The beauty of the world, the paragon of animals. And yet to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me; no, nor Woman neither." The whole speech is a build up to an ironic punchline.
There is something really powerful about the angelic and apotheotic (that's a word right?) imagery with the imperium of man. Like, it's totally fucked, but that is something very powerful, just the celebration and idolisation of humanity, the human spirit and the human figure being portrayed as divine. Reminds me of a lot of soviet art and sculpture.
Pity the guardsman? For all his lack of power, no dark gods giving him favor, no ancient technology from ages past, no gifts of biological superiority. Yet he holds the line, and has held the line for ten thousand years, and despite the best efforts of the entire spiteful galaxy of unimaginable horrors, he continues holding the line so that humanity can have a brighter tomorrow. *What's your excuse, monster?*
(1:53) You know all the favor of Chaos won’t do a damn thing for you when you look up and see ROBOUTE GUILLIMAN bringing Big E’s Own Sword down on your head.
God I just want humanity united already, but even that beautiful idea is corrupted and I can't find it in myself to support a globalist world. Fucking hell man, I'm tired of larping and having my dreams in a videogame, Humanity is 100% capable of everything in this video and things our sensory brains can't comprehend. Thank you for this video, this unironically inspires me to believe this is a world worth fighting for. ATLAS, RISE.
Sadly is gonna be a time before humanity gathers the brain cells to do that but in the meantime we can build the foundation for that unification a way to start is easy.Don’t see people by their nationality seems as they are,which is humans
A fascist dictatorship of endless warfare? Lol no. A united humanity will happen one day but sadly nationalism and hate are too common among our sad species
You have a duty to your ancestors to seek greatness. Do not forget how they threw themselves onto spears fighting for a better life. You must push yourself ever onward. Like the first animal to crawl out of the sea and onto the burning sands. It matters not why, but simply that you do. Likewise when the time of war comes you have a duty to your children to do the same. Would you shirk your duty? Seek the pleasures of this mortal coil and pass the ills of the day onto them?
One of my favorite renditions of little dark age on the imperium, your dedication to syncing visuals and effects to the music is superb! Long live the emperor brother
“And in a sunless realm the sun rose at last” Only in the 41st Millennium does bitter sweet victory taste so good. Despite the odds and overwhelming sacrifice of billions, humanity still lives to see the sun rise on a new day, ready to fight the darkness between the stars EMPEROR PROTECTS!
In its youth the Imperium seemed as if it was to dominate the universe, However that dream is now lost. Many Xeno's and Gods of Chaos challenge humanity but, humanity shall rise back from the ashes no matter how many times it gets striked down by the horrors of this universe.
I am a strong supporter of human supremacy. I was born long before space exploration, but I hope our descendants will be strong and overcome all the trials against the darkness that lies beyond Terra and not be tamed by the xenos. That's why I like Warhammer 40k; it may be a dark and brutal universe, but it represents human supremacy and adaptability in all circumstances. Humanity survives and thrives, and I hope that Warhammer 40k concludes with humanity winning the long war for survival. LONG LIVE HUMANITY! FOR THE GOD EMPEROR! FOR HUMANITY!
And when the emperor arises from the golden throne the galaxy will tremble with fear knowing what is to come the imperium will hit a new golden age and everyone will know the true power of mankind
"Look what they've made of our dream. This bloated, rotting carcass of an empire is driven not by reason and hope but by fear, hate and ignorance. Better that we had all burned in the fires of Horus' ambition than live to see this." - Roboute Guilliman, Primarch of the XIIIth Legion of the Adeptus Astartes
WH40K Was based from Histories, Religion, Myths and legends, Sci-fi, and warfare I appreciate to the game developers and the one who made this game so far.
Reading so many comments about the horrible and endless era of slaughter and war that humanity lives in the fortieth millennium, I have come to a terrifying reflection. What will happen when the storm of death, ruin and destruction finally ends? when humanity can rest, when the threats of the Empire are finally stopped. Will the legendary Gray Knights, demon hunters, become relics of the past? The Astartes, warriors who only know war as their home, will they be needed in this new era of peace, when there are no longer wars to fight and enemies to defeat? Does humanity need weapons when calm is the only thing on the horizon? Will worlds like Krieg or Armageddon be able to live in this era they could never imagine?... Peace. Just knowing the conflict and suffering makes him unable to know if the Imperium would be able to live a life, when it was only seen as an easy-to-replace currency. I doubt that he can adapt to such an abrupt and unknown change.
я тут подумал - если скинуться с каждого человека которому нравится вселенная Warhammer по 5 тысяч рублей, можно - снять крутой сериал, сделать крутую игру и так далее, ведь в самом деле потенциал человеческий не ограничен, что нам мешает воплощать наши мечты? Нет никакого предписанного свода правил и так далее - мы сами выбираем, что делать, просто окружающий мир оказывает некоторое влияние на наше мировозрение, но решающий выбор всегда за человеком лично!
I finally learnt where the quote about "and in a sunless realm the sun rose at last" but I think it being used as an analogy to the great Crusade is a cooler use of it.
War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way.

The most amazing thing he is to see. He can see what his empire has become. What the Mechanicum has become. Sees that mankind worship him as a god. He saw it 10 thousand years ago when Dorn carried him to the golden throne... And he still decided to sit on the golden throne, decided to continue to fight for humanity. Despite the horror that awaits the Emperor, his soul and body... Only with death does duty end.

In the beginning of the video it shows a quote that said the following: " We have lived under brutal regime where billions die in war every day for over 10,000 years .... And they are our only hope." Did the math, it was pretty easy really. This many people died 3.65e+15. Thats more people then you can ever imagine. That is the lowest possible amount too, if the quote is considered true it references billions, not the 1 billion i based my math on. My number is the lowest possible amount based on that info.
my guess is it didnt literally mean that every single day billions die, but that billions are dying in general and that process is going on every single day
it's possible considering terra alone has like 1-10 quadrillion. So yeah the galaxy is a big place, who would have known. Edit : 3.65e+15 is 3.65 quadrillion
I swear the Emperor is the Jesus of WH40K, no matter how many times he says "he is not a god" he will still be the icon of hope, faith and love in the 41st millenium.

Hi, i Just started to look into 40k lore even tough i've never even played It and i don't know where the lore starts. What's the First book or story that i have to read?
The full passage from the end
Guilliman followed Captain-General Valoris of the Adeptus Custodes as they descended down the pathway towards the Golden Throne. With every step, he moved slower, his mind tearing itself between the practical and theoretical of what might transpire when he would finally cross the threshold and come face to face with his father. All of Ultramar’s resources had been put to the task of making this moment a reality but only now was it dawning on him that he had never taken a moment to actually think about what he wanted to say.
“We have arrived,” said Valoris snapping Roboute out of his trance as they stopped before a massive gate made out of gold covered by a gothic arch on both sides. “I must warn you, standing near his presence is difficult even for us, be wary that you are not overwhelmed.”
“I have been here before” retorted the Lord of Ultramar firmly.
“Yet everything has changed since you last tread these halls Primarch.” snapped the Custodes, his resentment clearly showing through his stoic demeanor. “Know this, if you even so much as have a treacherous thought in his presence, I will end you”. Before Guilliman could respond, Valoris put up his hand to silence him. “Enough talk, the master beckons.”
Realizing that no good would come out of addressing the Captain General's insults, Roboute opened the gate and walked inside the throne room. When he entered, all he saw was a golden light that encompassed every inch of the chamber. It was oddly calm despite the towering presence of the Emperor emanating from the center of the room. All of the Mechanicus adepts tasked with preserving the Golden Throne and the Custodes charged with guarding it had been removed so that the master of mankind could grant his son a private audience.
As he approached the throne, he realized that he had tears in his eyes. He had chastised some of his sons who had offered such displays of reverence after he had been resurrected and the irony was not lost on him. Perhaps he thought, this is how all humans were genetically programmed to react when reunited with the man who had sired them.
Guilliman gently lowered himself to his knees and whispered a single word.
“Father.”
Suddenly he felt the aura within the room begin to change dramatically. Where there had been peace, energy now oozed from every pore electrifying the entire atmosphere and then the psychic shock struck him.
THE THIRTEENTH RETURNS
Gasping for air as if being drowned by a tidal wave, Guilliman tried his best to compose himself. The psychic essence of the emperor was like an inexplicable weight hammering him into to the ground and if he wasn’t kneeling already, he would have surely had to do so now.
“What has happened to you father?” Questioned the Primarch painstakingly. He couldn’t explain what was wrong but deep down he sensed something had changed within the Emperor after he had been entombed for countless millennia.
WHAT FATE DECREED FOR ME
"What do you mean?" Responded Guilliman, bewildered by the answer. He had never heard him use such words during the Great Crusade and in his desperation to grasp their meanings he asked his father another question, one that had gnawed away at him ever since his rebirth. “How could you have allowed all this misery and strife to befall our Imperium?”
I AM NOT THE SHEPHERD HUMANITY SEEKS. IT WAS ALWAYS MY AMBITION THAT THEY WOULD NO LONGER HAVE NEED OF ME. ALL I CAN DO NOW IS TO PROTECT THEM AS I SEE FIT SO THAT ONE DAY THEY MAY RISE ON THEIR OWN.
Guilliman’s confusion quickly turned into a burning rage. "And if they don’t?" Bellowed the Primarch angrily, “What if their flame is extinguished long before they realize your dream for you?”
THEN THAT IS WHAT FATE WOULD HAVE DECREED FOR THEM
"Why do you keep talking of fate?" Spat Roboute, “You had always taught us that humanity would forge its own destiny!” Guilliman’s shock became palpable. He had assumed that when he met his father, they would lay down their plans on how to strike back at all those trying to subjugate or eradicate humanity but instead, he found a grieving man looking only for a sympathetic ear.
IT WAS HUBRIS THAT MADE ME BELIEVE I ALONE HAD THE ANSWERS. PRIDE IS THE GREATEST SIN WHICH IS WHY I SUFFER THE GREATEST PUNISHMENT.
"And this suffering, is it penance? or your solution? To wither away while humanity begs and pleads for their savior hoping that he might listen?"
I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD THEM. EVERY LIE, EVERY PRAYER, EVERY SHOUT AND EVERY SCREAM. I HEARD YOU WHEN YOU CRIED OUT FOR ME TO SAVE YOU. WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW THE PRICE I PAID TO KEEP YOU ALIVE? OF THE BILLIONS THAT BLINKED OUT OF EXISTENCE SO THAT YOU MAY SURVIVE?
The revelation made Guilliman look away from the throne out of shame. He remembered Thiel and his sons fighting to save him after he had lost his duel with Fulgrim. He detested the fact that so many souls including those of the Ultramarines had to be sacrificed to spare him.
“You need not carry this burden alone.” he managed to mutter.
YOU SPEAK OF FULFILLING MY VISION LORD OF ULTRAMAR. WHEN MY BODY HAD LAID SHATTERED AMONGST THE BEST OF YOU, I ALREADY KNEW MY DREAM HAD DIED WITH THEM.
Those words cut deeper than any wound he had ever received on the battlefield. Knowing full well that he deserved better, Guilliman still tried to desperately steer the conversation away from the madness it was fast devolving into. “Father, I--”
YOU ARE NOT MY SON, NONE OF YOU EVER WERE. YOU WERE MY GIFTS TO HUMANITY. TWENTY SHINING BEACONS WHO WOULD HAVE USHERED US INTO A NEW AGE AS THE RIGHTFUL RULERS OF THE GALAXY. YET NOT ONE OF YOU COULD RISE ABOVE YOUR PERSONAL DESIRES AND ALLOWED EVERYTHING I HAD GIVEN YOU TO BE SQUANDERED.
Guilliman had heard enough. The light had finally vanished from his eyes and all he gazed upon now was a broken man on top of a decaying throne, forever locked away in his misery. Humanity revered the Emperor as a God and here was proof that he was nothing more than a man, trapped in a prison of his own making. It was becoming increasingly difficult for him to hide his resentment. He and his brothers, no matter how flawed they were, had done their best to serve this man’s vision. Every step towards damnation was taken happily if it meant the sons could appease their father. He remembered Monarchia and how his actions had culminated in the betrayal of the Word Bearers. The Emperor’s wanton disregard for the legacy of his brothers steeled Roboute’s hearts for the gathering storm.
"I will not allow us to go gently into the night." Spoke the Lord of Ultramar finally. "Do you hear me, father? You may have turned your back on us but I will never betray humanity."
AS IS YOUR CHOICE LORD COMMANDER
That was it, realized Guilliman. This entire charade was perhaps just another act of manipulation to goad him into action. To do what was necessary to save the Imperium both from within and without. Had his father anticipated this outcome? Had he already seen this happening millennia ago? The Emperor was powerful enough to read his mind without him realizing, was he doing so now? Was anything he had said actually true? Was he always this cruel or did his entombment cause him to be this way? Every possibility made him angrier and he turned around and started walking towards the gate bringing an abrupt end to their conversation.
As he opened it, he looked back and asked one final question.
“Why do you still fight?”
No answer came forth. The energy in the room had already begun to dissipate. He could see his father atop the golden throne but could no longer feel his presence.
"ANSWER ME!" Shouted Guilliman alerting the Custodes who began to rush towards the gate to restrain him. "WHY DO YOU STILL FIGHT?"
As the guards closed in around him, a piercing light stopped them all dead in their tracks and Roboute Guilliman, lord of Ultramar, received the answer he craved for. Six words were burnt into every fiber of his being. Six words that formed a phrase so trivial, so insignificant, yet it had ensured humanity’s continued existence for ten thousand years amongst an uncaring cosmos.
The words had borne witness to Ferrus charging the traitors on Isstavan and had compelled Sanguinius to face Horus aboard the Vengeful Spirit. They had seen the lowliest guardsman hold the line against insurmountable odds and were a lesson that Space Marines taught themselves over and over. They were a grim reminder for each man, woman, and child of the Imperium of what was required of them. Fitting then, that the Master of Mankind spoke the same words he expected humanity to live by.
ONLY IN DEATH DOES DUTY END.
Thanks for posting this.
Please don't tell me this is from a official source. Is this Canon? If so I fucking weep for this hobby.
@@paul-antonywhatshisface3954 why?
@@JohnDoe-wv7ep theyve usurped the Canon with the authors perspectives on the imperium. The Emperor was supposed to be right and akin to jesus that's what made the imperium a tragedy and thus grimdark. Now it's just another shitty empire ruled by another shitty man. Its become grimderp thanks to the authors substantiating memes cause it fits their view of things.
@@paul-antonywhatshisface3954 Sorry but I really disagree. The Emperor was not ever “right”. He was a single minded autocrat who thought his vision was the best and anyone who disagreed should die. He ruled through might not the fact that he was truly humanity’s shepherd. True he had good intentions and did great things for humanity and if everything went to plan the imperial truth might have worked. Likely his first crusades were vital for humanity’s survival. But I think he was just a man, a strong man and a mighty man, but still someone vulnerable to mistakes especially that of pride. Read the short story The Last Church. It really shows how he refuses to acknowledge the deeper morals and compassion that humanity thrives on and lives by in favor of practical brutality to ensure his vision of humanity.
“My only regret is that I have but one life to give for my emperor.”
We are the light in this dark galaxy.
We are the guardsmen who holds the line.

We are the Emperor's devoted servants.
We are the Emperor's finest His astartes and we shall know no fear.
We are the Hammer.
We are the Emperor's Will made manifest.
We are the Emperor's sons and daughters.
And we will fight until the bitter end and until we are all one in the Emperor's light.

That scene of Gulliman, tears in his eyes as he begs for a reason to go on from the Lich that has replaced his once-beautiful father. The simple answer that holds such an infinite weight. Only in Death does Duty End. Honestly powerful shit and if you don’t feel equally overjoyed at the fact humanity could make it to the stars, and at the same time fucking defeated by the tragedy and sacrifice it will take not just to make it there, but to stay there and move forward, I don’t know what to tell you.

One of the best 40k edits I’ve seen. The emperor protects.
FOR THE EMPEROR'S WILL!
Jokes aside the quote "And in a sunless realm the sun rose at last" sounds something like a roman or a ancient great emperor would say that.
Thats an actual quote from the book "Master of Mankind". its from the Horus Heresy Series its book 41 I believe
Aurelian smiles upon thee
It’s a horrifying concept that in Warhanmer 40k humanity is always facing a cosmic threat which is either a bunch of demons or a bunch of otherworldly creatures, yet in the end they persevere through these and come out as the last one standing, long live humanity.
hmmmm... not always, before the return of giga chad Guilliman the imperium was losing badly.
@@carlosgarzon8900 Was it? Or was it what they sold? Maybe we were fine, but we were sold, we needed some child creation of the emperor.
@@gravitatemortuus1080I mean the imperium is still losing pretty badly the tearing it regularly beat them and currently they have only deployed their scouting Force gazskull has become a kork which used to be able to regularly defeat the war in heaven version of the necrons it's only a matter of time before his waghhhhh becomes to powerful for the imperium to stop chaos of course is still running wild not to even mention the necrons which are no doubt the most powerful faction by far the writers are going to have to retcon them or they will literally wipe out the entire 40K universe with ease and that's not to even mention the other smaller races that are still a huge threat but not as big as necrons orks or chaos the imperium has been losing as soon as the necrons woke up

“I won’t pretend this will be easy. But it is vital. Vital to Imperial success on this world, vital perhaps to the entire Crusade.

Def one of the better Little Dark Age edits I've seen, in terms of both audio and visual. Especially like the quotes you threw in; they certainly exemplify the struggles humanity faces in a galaxy full of horrors.

What a piece of work is man.

You forgot the second part:
"In apprehension how like a god. The beauty of the world, the paragon of animals. And yet to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me; no, nor Woman neither."
The whole speech is a build up to an ironic punchline.
I can't imagine how hard it is for for GW knowing that the best warhammer 40k cinematics are made by their fans :D
I think mankind in 40K best epitomizes Dylan Thomas' poem "Do not go gentle into that goodnight."
Struggle, contend, endure, for that alone is the sword of one who defies death.

There is something really powerful about the angelic and apotheotic (that's a word right?) imagery with the imperium of man. Like, it's totally fucked, but that is something very powerful, just the celebration and idolisation of humanity, the human spirit and the human figure being portrayed as divine. Reminds me of a lot of soviet art and sculpture.

If you leave out the darkness of the franchise. It is really inspiring how humanity is always struggling in face of cosmic horrors.
And in the grim darkness of the far future, every light shines more brighter
warhmmer 40k a universe with good lore, good fans but rarily good games
Hope Darktide and Space Marine 2 will be good
Chaos has overtaken GW and its writers.
i like to imagine all the astartes singing this under their helmets as they march into battle

Pity the guardsman?
For all his lack of power, no dark gods giving him favor, no ancient technology from ages past, no gifts of biological superiority.
Yet he holds the line, and has held the line for ten thousand years, and despite the best efforts of the entire spiteful galaxy of unimaginable horrors, he continues holding the line so that humanity can have a brighter tomorrow.
*What's your excuse, monster?*
The mix of Sci-fi,medievial,and mythology is just surreal
Warhammer was hell of a masterpiece
(1:53) You know all the favor of Chaos won’t do a damn thing for you when you look up and see ROBOUTE GUILLIMAN bringing Big E’s Own Sword down on your head.
For the glory of the Emperor and the survival of mankind, we shall fight until there is nothing to be fought.
God I just want humanity united already, but even that beautiful idea is corrupted and I can't find it in myself to support a globalist world. Fucking hell man, I'm tired of larping and having my dreams in a videogame, Humanity is 100% capable of everything in this video and things our sensory brains can't comprehend. Thank you for this video, this unironically inspires me to believe this is a world worth fighting for.
ATLAS, RISE.
How the hell did you sum up exactly what I was also feeling?
Sadly is gonna be a time before humanity gathers the brain cells to do that but in the meantime we can build the foundation for that unification a way to start is easy.Don’t see people by their nationality seems as they are,which is humans
If you are truly a Warhammer 40k fan, you do not want to live in this universe.
A fascist dictatorship of endless warfare? Lol no. A united humanity will happen one day but sadly nationalism and hate are too common among our sad species
We can be united if were not the only ones in this universe
You have a duty to your ancestors to seek greatness. Do not forget how they threw themselves onto spears fighting for a better life. You must push yourself ever onward. Like the first animal to crawl out of the sea and onto the burning sands. It matters not why, but simply that you do. Likewise when the time of war comes you have a duty to your children to do the same. Would you shirk your duty? Seek the pleasures of this mortal coil and pass the ills of the day onto them?
I didn't want this video to end.
One of my favorite renditions of little dark age on the imperium, your dedication to syncing visuals and effects to the music is superb! Long live the emperor brother

this is hands down the best edit I've seen. There is few things that can make one feel proud of the imperium.
The zooms just make it funny
In its youth the Imperium seemed as if it was to dominate the universe, However that dream is now lost. Many Xeno's and Gods of Chaos challenge humanity but, humanity shall rise back from the ashes no matter how many times it gets striked down by the horrors of this universe.
its beautiful
We are humans we make our own destiny’s and we are not bound by fate.
Ferrus?
so how much bass should I put in?
inner HvemSkall : YES
I am a strong supporter of human supremacy. I was born long before space exploration, but I hope our descendants will be strong and overcome all the trials against the darkness that lies beyond Terra and not be tamed by the xenos. That's why I like Warhammer 40k; it may be a dark and brutal universe, but it represents human supremacy and adaptability in all circumstances. Humanity survives and thrives, and I hope that Warhammer 40k concludes with humanity winning the long war for survival. LONG LIVE HUMANITY! FOR THE GOD EMPEROR! FOR HUMANITY!

Long live the god emperor
And behold the pale horse. Who's riders' name is Death. And Hell follows with him.
Reading so many comments about the horrible and endless era of slaughter and war that humanity lives in the fortieth millennium, I have come to a terrifying reflection.
What will happen when the storm of death, ruin and destruction finally ends?
when humanity can rest, when the threats of the Empire are finally stopped.
Will the legendary Gray Knights, demon hunters, become relics of the past?
The Astartes, warriors who only know war as their home, will they be needed in this new era of peace, when there are no longer wars to fight and enemies to defeat?
Does humanity need weapons when calm is the only thing on the horizon?
Will worlds like Krieg or Armageddon be able to live in this era they could never imagine?... Peace.
Just knowing the conflict and suffering makes him unable to know if the Imperium would be able to live a life, when it was only seen as an easy-to-replace currency. I doubt that he can adapt to such an abrupt and unknown change.
What happened to the thunder warriors?
There probably needs to be another crusade happening to subdue worlds that would not stop doing war, lol.
Sad thing is humanity will never win win
Sad thing is humanity will never win win
я тут подумал - если скинуться с каждого человека которому нравится вселенная Warhammer по 5 тысяч рублей, можно - снять крутой сериал, сделать крутую игру и так далее, ведь в самом деле потенциал человеческий не ограничен, что нам мешает воплощать наши мечты? Нет никакого предписанного свода правил и так далее - мы сами выбираем, что делать, просто окружающий мир оказывает некоторое влияние на наше мировозрение, но решающий выбор всегда за человеком лично!
I finally learnt where the quote about "and in a sunless realm the sun rose at last" but I think it being used as an analogy to the great Crusade is a cooler use of it.
This has been on a loop for 6 hours now. No regrets
I’ve probably added 40k of the views myself to this masterpiece.

War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way.

The most amazing thing he is to see. He can see what his empire has become. What the Mechanicum has become. Sees that mankind worship him as a god. He saw it 10 thousand years ago when Dorn carried him to the golden throne... And he still decided to sit on the golden throne, decided to continue to fight for humanity. Despite the horror that awaits the Emperor, his soul and body... Only with death does duty end.

i watch this at the very least once a month have no idea why but it like lifts me up
I love mixing religion and war.
In the beginning of the video it shows a quote that said the following:
" We have lived under brutal regime where billions die in war every day for over 10,000 years .... And they are our only hope."
Did the math, it was pretty easy really. This many people died 3.65e+15.
Thats more people then you can ever imagine.
That is the lowest possible amount too, if the quote is considered true it references billions, not the 1 billion i based my math on. My number is the lowest possible amount based on that info.
my guess is it didnt literally mean that every single day billions die, but that billions are dying in general and that process is going on every single day
it's possible considering terra alone has like 1-10 quadrillion.
So yeah the galaxy is a big place, who would have known.
Edit : 3.65e+15 is 3.65 quadrillion
Hive worlds are responsible for mass producing one resource and one resource alone; guardsmen.
90% of death chance on the first deployment, they are still proud to be imperial guards.
This Might Be The Best 2 and a 40 seconds of my life
I swear the Emperor is the Jesus of WH40K, no matter how many times he says "he is not a god" he will still be the icon of hope, faith and love in the 41st millenium.
You are wrong, "Only in death does duty end" is wrong.
