I agree. The whole idea of doing the surgery without anesthesia is bullshit. The surgery would and the pain of it would send the person into shock. And Space Marines are *expensive*. They can't just waste qualified candidates left and right, no matter how over-populated is the Imperium. Corax learned the folly of that.
But they did waste their neophytes left and right because grimdark. There is a good reason why Space Marines are having such a hard time replenishing their numbers.
Brain surgery is often done without anesthesia just a topical anesthetic for the initial cut since they need the patient conscious to make sure they are still all there. Most nerves are by skin as someone who has had a number of surgeries well awake you feel pressure more then pain.
you can bypass a segment of aorta to allow space to attach the 2nd heart without risk of blood loss. you can potentially go through the diaphragm without disrupting ribs or sternum. the stomach one (which sounds more like a liver) would be more difficult due to large important nerve plexi (vagus) along the esophagus brain surgery already mentioned... much of these additional organs don't make sense on how they improve things... theres only so much room and just dividing space with an additional (like lung) doesn't make it work better. the additional heart would have to be close to the original heart in order to effectively pump which makes its use as a back up pointless. potentially put it in the abdomen, but then you screw up the liver. kidney doesnt connect to bum-hole... (poor naming i guess, again more like liver) srry you got my critique as a physician i love the depth of detail from the 40K lore
Yeah, especially with how valuable gene seeds are and how risky the surgery would be even with proper anesthesia. I could see an argument for the black carapace install since it deals with nerves directly and all of the survivability of a full fledged space marine has already been completed. Kind of a final initiation, if you will.
@@Brotherbear-er7rn I don't know much about Boston, but Nocturne is a planet with a bunch of volcanoes and a very hot sun, along with a moon that likes to mess with their tectonic wellbeing every 15 years or so. As such the people on the planet have rather dark skin due to radiation, but upon an initiate's induction to the chapter, their skin will darken to a pitch black due to a mutation of their gene seed. And unlike the Boston _I_ know of, most of the people are really nice there with a heavy respect of life, and being the homeworld of the nicest space marine chapter it's not hard to see why.
@@johnfraire6931 Boston is full of people who respect life. For instance, most Bostonians respect the lives of Red Sox players(when they're winning), Patriots players(when they're winning), etc, etc... You see? Just like Nocturne.
I was under the impression the organ responsible for "no sleep for months" doesn't simply shut down parts of the brain. Rather it gives one part of the brain time to rest while another takes over. And it keeps doing that over and over, like a multi-core processor, shifting tasks from one core to another.
So are you telling me that in the 41st millennium, they perform open heart surgery on a fully conscious person, instead of making heavy use of anesthetics?
Where in the lore is it stated that they do so? Because either Arch is assuming something incredibly stupid, or the lore writers wrote something equally stupid.
I think it would be more accurate: childhood: star wars, lightsabers and adventures adolescence: warhammer, brutal and heavy adult life: startrek, politics and logic 
How awesome would it be if every time we ate something disagreeable to our stomachs, we'd just fall face first where we stood and start fountaining streams of poisonous excreta in parabolic arcs.
I started watching your videos only a little bit ago, and haven’t been super into the lore of 40k before that, so I didn’t know that the geneseed was a set of organs, so up until this point, every time you’ve said the field medic goes out to recover the geneseed from fallen space marines, I thought that was just a pleasant 40k euphemism for the medic wandering around and collecting a bucket of space marine nuts.
Thoughts Re: Space Marines not having anesthesia when their organs are being implanted. It might not be anesthesia as we recognize it. When the Astartes were first designed, technology was at a crazy-advanced point, meaning they may not have relied on the anesthetics we use today. I could see, for example, a type of hallucinogen being used to change the aspirant's perception of events and the sensations they experience for the duration of the surgery. After all, it would make sense that the chapter inducting them might want them to experience the pain of surgery as religious rapture rather than agonizing pain. Don't know if there's lore to support it, but it's a possibility
When I was younger I thought gene seed was just a cadbury egg shoved into a kid's chest and the crazy amounts of sugar in the egg made them grow into super buff men
Actually Arch, you are right, The Blood Angels chapter/legion and most successors Knock out there recruits for a year for all the surgeries and growth. In Dante, Luis Dante falls asleep after the red grail initiation, to him being 8 feet tall, twice as wide, and able to breath perfectly.
The thing where the ribcage turns into one single piece of bone is kind of silly. The ribcage can move to enhance respiration. You mostly notice it, when people are heavy breathing. but it surely sounds awesome.
33:55. Arch: “... or what I’d like to call, the Oh Shit Organ”. Couldn’t stop laughing when I first heard about what this organ does, nor can I write this out without laughing again. The visual imagery you proved Arch had me in tears... 😂😂😂🤣🤣
That oh shit button should be weaponized, perhaps coupled with the corrosive spit they have. Just image a corrosive poop coming out violently from an Astartes' ass wielded by his battlebrothers as a heavy weapon.
About the word bearers gene seed and recreation of the chapter. Considering that worship of the emperor is the accepted norm now days wouldent a return of the word bearers (properly under a new name) be workable? I mean the whole heresy was kinda caused by them being denied their faith in the emperor as a god and them seeking a new darker faith (The impression i got from the first heretic novel). Is there another reason to avoid them other then their tendence to bend over for anything that they belive to be divine? Edited: Fixed "world bearers" into the correct name "word bearers".
No. Lorgar had skill with the warp, and so every Geneson made from his seed will be connected, to the warp. Basically, Chaos would get their hands onto them fast before my second heart can even beat. Now, the World Eaters wouldn't be a bad idea, since so much of the sheer fucking Anger came from the Emperor Damned nailed they stuck in themselves.
Creating a loyalist chapter from Word Bearer gene seed is still risky as fuck. Should Lorgar get a wind of it he will be able to turn that chapter to his service in an instant, being their gene-sire, master warp-crafter and a superbly skilled preacher. Of all the traitor legions Word Bearers are probably the worst candidates to reintroduce because they had fallen to Chaos first, and their fall was the most complete seing they hadn't any need to do mass purge of their ranks Isstvan 3 style.
Boy: what now sir? Space marine: AHHHHHH “smash” Space marine: Brother Sergeant this boys cranium is of insufficient strength to survive my fist to his face. Sergeant: very well bring the next one.
Little known fact: the Imperial Fist Rectum Stickus is actually a developed geneseed organ. This miraculous organ influences the neophyte to absolute fixation on doctrine and, once fully developed, can be removed and used as a fearsome weapon.
The kids the chapters recruit are normally from death worlds or extremely violent worlds and are probably already hardened killers by the time the chapter needs new members.
As to the anesthesia question, the book "Space Wolf" detailing the induction of Ragnar Blackmane into the chapter did state that anesthetics were used. Although it only went into detail about the implantation of the "gene seed" itself (Space Wolf is a fairly old book) and they only used a powerful local anesthetic so he could watch with a major level of detachment as they opened his chest up.
One thing that always makes me wonder is how the bloody hell do White Scars choose their recruits. I mean some lore I could find suggests that they choose the best warriors of Chogoris, after silently watcing over their battles. But that would mean that people of Chogoris are like Mongols waging war with 10-year old children. I mean, I get that there may young warriors, but 10-12 years of younger?
Wouldnt it be great, you return home victorious from an 10 year campaign only to find your only son taken away by the sky-people with a note saying: Your an awesome fighter, so we took your son/children and beaten your wife who tried to protect them. Be blessed by the emperor.
The age of 12ish is ideal. There are plenty of examples of much older candidates. Like the blood raven fellow that was recruited from the IG on Tartarus. He would have been atleast 18 or so. Also has to do with the chapters traditons. Ultramarines take the top 1% of their IG military graduates. The Minotaurs, i think that's their name, take new born children offered up to the sky gods when their borned, left in a temple where a apoth comes downs scans the baby says yes or no and takes or leaves it.
Relatively speaking, if you compare the average WWI Infantryman to a modern day soldier, the modern day soldier would be a 'super soldier' in the eyes of the poor bloody infantryman.
Humanity has a whole has gotten weaker and weaker then it's ancestors. Sure our athletes can do things can do what they couldn't but they couldn't survives like they did.
@@kana22693 yeah honestly that sounds like bullshit to me. How many studies were conducted in Europe in the 1920s that measured the grip strength of women?? That's oddly specific and doesn't sound like it has much purpose. Source?
Ok, this must be new lore, because in the books, many Astartes are chosen as adults. The Blood Ravens trilogy has one such warrior and many of the old codexes detail the trials by combat that the Space Wolves and Blood Angels go through to become initiates. In the Horusy Heresy series, it outright states that many of Corax's marines were changed as adults. This is the first i have heard of child soldiers.
Child aspirants is the norm for 40K and has been for ages. Sometimes an older person can become a Marine but early to mid 20's is the max. That's why people like Kor Phaeron couldn't be an Astartes.
i know im 3 years too late with this but still, maybe someone, somewhere, maybe even arch, will read it.... the scientific explenation of the spinal organ that makes you analize what you eat. There has been an experiment regarding DNA memory. The premise is that information are passed from parent to offspring so it KNOWS the basics without being tought. Like, what to eat and what to not eat. They took 2 control groups of mice, one was fed by normal feed, the other was fed with normal feed with added juniper berries. They ate this their entire life, then they were let to have offsprings within their control group. As soon as the offsprings were born and fed just a little milk, they were taken away and nortured by humans till they were ready for their first "normal" food. They marked offsprings from group 1 and 2, put them together, and released them into area with bowl of feed 1 and bowl feed 2 with juniper berries. Without any hesitation the mice seperated, offsprings of group 1 went to normal feed and 2 went to juniper berries. They never had a chance to learn it from their parrents and they were fed milk only right after being born. Some basic information for survival is indeed carried by DNA and varies parent from parent, region from region, some are universal. Its the reason why humans from birth are afraid of dark or spiders. If you show a little toddler a picture of spider, it will be scared. Even thou it never seen a spider. The genetic information is "this shape is dangerous". And this information is valid even in countries where there are no poisonous spiders AT ALL. Its just that old hard coded information. So astartes basicaly is able to send the DNA imprint of what he ate to the organ which will analize it like subconcious brain and sends it as concious information to his normal brain.
Those women are religious women which is a sign they are still enslaved to the patriarchy - About the logic I heard from feminists in college actually.
Although that has lead me to the question if the emperor kept the comparably low amount of information in the Y chromosome (as it is in humans compared to some other species) and if primarg cells would be able to create female phenotypes if the Y would be replaced by an X? I mean I would assume that the basic structure and number of chromosomes is quite similar to that of a human considering the whole compatibility thing for the space marins but if he only planned to ever create male ones he might have scrapped some functions and looked them into a male phenotype although then again that might have been to much work for to little gain to remove it if he worked of, of a human template and it definitely would have been very handy if he ever planed for them to be able to procreate (for example in case that for some reason the empirium would be running low on primargs and he could not create any other due to being mortally wounded and bound to a chair) it's 2am I think I should go to sleep
33:23 and as we all know melanin is directly linked to intelligence tariq nasheed told me so and he had a rap album called wash yo ass so he must be smart
I have to wonder why Gilliman's Oolitic Kidney didn't activate after his duel with Fulgrim... It is one of the things that constantly annoy me, Space Marines have a sizeable number of organs meant to make sure they can't fall prey to poisons, but in the fluff they constantly fall prey to bad stuff like that... It's like 25% of the geneseed is meant to avoid the marine being poisoned, like the extra lung, that secondary stomach that catches all the bad stuff going in, the neuroglotis that scans for poisons (that's a double check system just to avoid the marines dying from poisoned food), and the poison gland that basically can be used as a form of "If you can't filter it, weaponize it". Then again reading something like "Once the Primarch was safely returned to the flagship his Oolitic Kidney was activated, purging his body of the foul poison and covering everybody in the infirmary with a green and yellow foul smelling acidic liquid..." doesn't have the same catch.
I think if you want to reach a wider audience you should really consider adding images of what you're talking about, they don't have to be too graphic but at least various images of Astartes Anatomy (like the one similar to Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man) or ones comparing Astartes size to regular humans.
This organ makes you able to smell subtle odors This organ makes you violently projectile Shit toxins. Not heresy or anything, but I wouldn't call this one of the God emperor's masterpieces.
Bit late, but I still have to say that the description of the Emperors Finest, the greatest warriors in the Galaxy, falling flat on their faces and shitting out a stream of stinking arse gravy made me laugh until I cried. Now my glasses are all steamed up. I wonder if its possible to weaponize something like that? Considering 40K, more than likely.
There is no way they don't use anethesia. The pain would put them into shock and possibly leading to a heart attack. I woke up just after my abdominal surgery was finished, but before pain meds were administered. It was one a 2 inch cut, sure all they way through my stomach muscles into the cavity. I cannot describe nor express the level of pain.
Tale of Pinocchio, from real boy into a posthuman super soldier, only more bad ass, too horrifying for children to hear and potentially deadly to the boy itself
can astaries bend over? if their ribs are fused that might cause an issue, not to mention how their armor is constructed. its a little funny to think that if they drop their bolter they cannot pick it up again XD
TheDarkGenious Yes, but at least our armies consist of of age lobotomized criminals. And honestly hiw could anyone possibly improve upon what the Machine God hath already perfected? Cheifly the great pleasure toasters of old Earth.
You do know about the rape camps on mars. Granted, illegal, but still there. Also huge dicks to EVERYONE. When a writer wants an enemy from within he choses between cult mechanicus and inquisition. Admittly the Tech priests probably have some of the greatest "good guy"-pieces, probably with the guard. Of course this is depending on the writer, with some writers portraying the guard as Red army 2.0, while others (Mittchell, Abnett) portray them as a common-sense-faction thats actually pretty good. Just as some like to make the Mechanicus essentially a bunch of completly aloof assholes, that would love to turn entire hive worlds of innocents into servitors because efficiency and others make them actually good guys, if out of pragmatism: With the great amount of labour done by servitors the rest is usually well adjusted and well fed specialists along the statues and comfort of modern engineers, high-quality-artisans and so on. But you could continue that list on and on (Inquisition: The emperors pet psychopaths/reasonable and extremly efficient most of the time, the times when not just more prominent, Space Marines: Mariens Malevolent/Slaamenders and Lamenters...). But yes, the Mechanicus is definitly relatilvy high up, because it at least doesnt do something evil if its not necessary.
Pretty sure the 12 years of age was retconned. Stated several times in HH from what I've seen that there are a fair number of cases where considerably older people became Astartes.
I know I am not spelling this right, but oh well. The laramen cells, wouldn't the cause an issue if they were implemented? Making it impossible to actually perform surgeries unless it was in a vacume sealed room? I mean, if it coagulates imediately, would than not make the implementation of further organs impossible since everything hards before you can cut the space marine open, put the new organ in, and sew him back up? Or am I missing something?
when an ultra marine gets hit in battle and is removed from the field, it's not because he's dead, or wounded, or mortally endangered, its because someone scuffed his armor.... he has to go get it cleaned and repainted
love these lore vids arch, although i get it all from a long time following the universe, these vids of yours really cement it all together,, nice one! from jolly old blighty

35:45 needed that laugh, honestly I'd love to see more comedy to go with the constant tragedy in the setting, little douglas adams among the grimdarkness
The child solider thing is new to me , is it part of the new 7th and 8th rewamp of 40k lore? The aspirants were usually in the 20'ies in the original lore , with barbaric trials of endurance and arena combats to get to be selected. Also shame on GW for making Magnus the red one eyed instead of a cyclops as he was before.
Carl Hallberg first off the whole child soldier thing has been around since at least a couple of years probably 3rd or 2nd edition at the earliest and second have a single eye does make Magnus cyclops anyway
lol no having one eye makes you cyklopean not a cyclops. unless you think one eyed pirates are cyklops. Magnus used to have one big eye in the middle , it was also said that it was not considered strange due to Sanguinius having wings and Connrad Kurtz having claws.
No this is actually old lore. As usually the sources are contradicting each other, but new neophytes being below 14 years of old is a pretty old idea. The waters are muddied here as most novel characters we have stories from before they where recruited (like say Ragna) tell us that they where warriors in their culture. But a barbaric tribe might consider someone an adult as soon as puberty hits.
With regards to the end: Whether I loved or HATED the Tau, I would be running to them like my life depended on it (which it probably would) if I found myself in the 40k universe. Someone who could give them details about the formation, motivations and history of the other factions would be incredibly valued by the Ethereals and even if they're going to be stomped from the face of the galaxy in the next thousand years that's enough time for me to live out my life in a private estate that contains actual technology (which is not made of "some poor bugger from a hive"). I mean, if we tried to tell the Imperium anything useful we'd likely end up in the kind of torture chamber less senior members of the Inquisition only know of as a horrifying legend that gives them nightmares sometimes. Of course, actually getting to the Tau from anywhere but "walking distance" is probably equally likely to kill you (especially if you need to use warp travel) and even if you appeared ten steps away from a waiting squad of battlesuit escorts, that's still enough time to be murdered by an Ork and then snatched away by the Dark Eldar to be revived for decades of unimaginable torture orgies (or possibly worse, used as a slave to clean those up).

Lorgar had his stepfather Kor Phaeron augmented but he was an adult so he didn't get all the gene seed. Is it explained in the lore how many organs can be put into a grown adult before the body starts rejecting them? Since Kor Phaeron was an adult did he grow to the size of a regular astartes or did he remain with his human height?
The shock from the non-anesthetic surgery would be fatal in frequency far, far beyond any cost effective measure. The body just couldn’t endure the surgery you’ve described here without anesthetics. The trauma is just too much.
at 25:00 ish you meant Cerebellum. Theres a BIG difference between cerebrum and cerebellum. This is nitpicking however, I absolutely loved this episode.
Actually, survival based instincts are ingrained into the genetic memory. Example, a person with ancestors in 1600's England would be more wary of rats than average since their genetics contain a conditioned response to associate rats with disease. If Space Marines bodies are able to analyse DNA, they could extrapolate the genetic memories to develop instincts to avoid certain other species.
Vivid memories, yes. Low level instincts however have been proven to be passed down genetically. It's how an animal which has never taken a course in botany knows which mushrooms to eat. I'm not talking about advanced shit here, just a basic list of things not to fuck with. "Experiments showed that a traumatic event could affect the DNA in sperm and alter the brains and behaviour of subsequent generations. A Nature Neuroscience study shows mice trained to avoid a smell passed their aversion on to their "grandchildren". Experts said the results were important for phobia and anxiety research. The animals were trained to fear a smell similar to cherry blossom. The team at the Emory University School of Medicine, in the US, then looked at what was happening inside the sperm. They showed a section of DNA responsible for sensitivity to the cherry blossom scent was made more active in the mice's sperm. Both the mice's offspring, and their offspring, were "extremely sensitive" to cherry blossom and would avoid the scent, despite never having experienced it in their lives. Changes in brain structure were also found. "The experiences of a parent, even before conceiving, markedly influence both structure and function in the nervous system of subsequent generations," the report concluded."
*SHOW THE IMAGES !!!* OneMindSyndicate shows the images of the surgeries that Space Marines go through. It's not like you're showing porn. *SO SHOW THE IMAGES - SHOW THE LOOORRRE !!!*
So... Space marines recruits are 10-12 years old? That does not fit with most of the lore I know. Things such as space wolves choosing war heroes. Lukas was known to visit up to a dozen women in a single night. Implying that he is at least an adolescent if not an adult Or blood angels: whoever manages to go through the proving grounds and reach the sarcophagi are put into them and reborn as beautiful vampires. There are a few more that I cannot remember right now, but either there is conflict in the lore or some things have been retconned over time
Space Wolf and Grey Knight geneseed seems to be able to work at later ages though. In the Space Wolf 8th edition Codex, it is mentioned that Wolf Priests go around challenging the promising young warriors and hunters of the Fenrisian tribes to several competitions of fighting, feasting, and drinking. Which of course the Wolf Priest always wins, but he selects the best among those who competed to becoming new Space Wolf aspirants. In addition when the tribes go to war aganist each Wolf Priests will observe the conflicts and select the most promising or proven young warriors even if they are on the verge of death to become Space Wolf aspirants. Ragnar Blackmane was selected in this manner. The main character in the Grey Knight book Emperor's Gift was implanted with the Grey Knight geneseed at the age of 15. Though there was a significant chance of geneseed rejection and failure. He did successfully accept the geneseed implantation.
XENOS HATE HIM!

the stomach one (which sounds more like a liver) would be more difficult due to large important nerve plexi (vagus) along the esophagus
brain surgery already mentioned...
much of these additional organs don't make sense on how they improve things... theres only so much room and just dividing space with an additional (like lung) doesn't make it work better. the additional heart would have to be close to the original heart in order to effectively pump which makes its use as a back up pointless. potentially put it in the abdomen, but then you screw up the liver.

around 50 percent of the imperium doesnt even know what an anesthetic is its only used on nobels and the rich. The middle class cant even afford it.
No one in history has ever died of being in too much pain. they could use paralytics and not anesthesia. Still dumb but entirely possible
Um, yes they have. If sufficient pain is inflicted the shock can kill someone especially when that person is still a kid.

great vid btw :D
I started watching your videos only a little bit ago, and haven’t been super into the lore of 40k before that, so I didn’t know that the geneseed was a set of organs, so up until this point, every time you’ve said the field medic goes out to recover the geneseed from fallen space marines, I thought that was just a pleasant 40k euphemism for the medic wandering around and collecting a bucket of space marine nuts.
That would be a lot funnier
Thoughts Re: Space Marines not having anesthesia when their organs are being implanted. It might not be anesthesia as we recognize it. When the Astartes were first designed, technology was at a crazy-advanced point, meaning they may not have relied on the anesthetics we use today. I could see, for example, a type of hallucinogen being used to change the aspirant's perception of events and the sensations they experience for the duration of the surgery. After all, it would make sense that the chapter inducting them might want them to experience the pain of surgery as religious rapture rather than agonizing pain. Don't know if there's lore to support it, but it's a possibility
That’s an intriguing idea. I like it. They would be amazing fighters if their sensations of pain and discomfort where utilitarian and not crippling.
Especially the part where they might have forgotten about that partner just doing it without it afterwards because of tradition
When I was younger I thought gene seed was just a cadbury egg shoved into a kid's chest and the crazy amounts of sugar in the egg made them grow into super buff men

That is the first stage for making a modern Emperor's Children marine. Next, the sugar is cocaine and the egg is someone's still beating heart.

After an entire year of watching your content I've finally realised that's not a still image.
Actually Arch, you are right, The Blood Angels chapter/legion and most successors Knock out there recruits for a year for all the surgeries and growth. In Dante, Luis Dante falls asleep after the red grail initiation, to him being 8 feet tall, twice as wide, and able to breath perfectly.
The thing where the ribcage turns into one single piece of bone is kind of silly. The ribcage can move to enhance respiration. You mostly notice it, when people are heavy breathing. but it surely sounds awesome.
yes but the rib cage of an Astartes only reaches to their underarms. Its part of the process.
33:55.
Arch: “... or what I’d like to call, the Oh Shit Organ”.
Couldn’t stop laughing when I first heard about what this organ does, nor can I write this out without laughing again. The visual imagery you proved Arch had me in tears... 😂😂😂🤣🤣

That oh shit button should be weaponized, perhaps coupled with the corrosive spit they have. Just image a corrosive poop coming out violently from an Astartes' ass wielded by his battlebrothers as a heavy weapon.
I will never sleep again, after you put that image in my head
Max the Paladin I'm sure it will be the most disgusting weapon in 40k
Maybe Death Guard uses it?

About the word bearers gene seed and recreation of the chapter.
Considering that worship of the emperor is the accepted norm now days wouldent a return of the word bearers (properly under a new name) be workable? I mean the whole heresy was kinda caused by them being denied their faith in the emperor as a god and them seeking a new darker faith (The impression i got from the first heretic novel).
Is there another reason to avoid them other then their tendence to bend over for anything that they belive to be divine?
Edited: Fixed "world bearers" into the correct name "word bearers".
GaratghDeloi perhaps the world bearers could change their name to "word bearers". That would be cool.
Scott Stoner
It is word bearers, he miss spelled it.
No. Lorgar had skill with the warp, and so every Geneson made from his seed will be connected, to the warp.
Basically, Chaos would get their hands onto them fast before my second heart can even beat. Now, the World Eaters wouldn't be a bad idea, since so much of the sheer fucking Anger came from the Emperor Damned nailed they stuck in themselves.
Creating a loyalist chapter from Word Bearer gene seed is still risky as fuck. Should Lorgar get a wind of it he will be able to turn that chapter to his service in an instant, being their gene-sire, master warp-crafter and a superbly skilled preacher. Of all the traitor legions Word Bearers are probably the worst candidates to reintroduce because they had fallen to Chaos first, and their fall was the most complete seing they hadn't any need to do mass purge of their ranks Isstvan 3 style.
A Random Crusader - lol I know. (When I was a kid, I always thought it was "World Bearers") :)
Boy: what now sir?
Space marine: AHHHHHH “smash”
Space marine: Brother Sergeant this boys cranium is of insufficient strength to survive my fist to his face.
Sergeant: very well bring the next one.
Little known fact: the Imperial Fist Rectum Stickus is actually a developed geneseed organ.
This miraculous organ influences the neophyte to absolute fixation on doctrine and, once fully developed, can be removed and used as a fearsome weapon.
The kids the chapters recruit are normally from death worlds or extremely violent worlds and are probably already hardened killers by the time the chapter needs new members.
As to the anesthesia question, the book "Space Wolf" detailing the induction of Ragnar Blackmane into the chapter did state that anesthetics were used. Although it only went into detail about the implantation of the "gene seed" itself (Space Wolf is a fairly old book) and they only used a powerful local anesthetic so he could watch with a major level of detachment as they opened his chest up.
The reason why there are no female space marines are: "Girls are icky, only boys allowed whoop whoop!" -an excerpt from the man-emperor

One thing that always makes me wonder is how the bloody hell do White Scars choose their recruits. I mean some lore I could find suggests that they choose the best warriors of Chogoris, after silently watcing over their battles. But that would mean that people of Chogoris are like Mongols waging war with 10-year old children. I mean, I get that there may young warriors, but 10-12 years of younger?
Maciej Misiewicz kids fight among themselves and they choose best fighters.
Same thing with the space wolves,
Probably child arenas.

Wow, that is grimdark!
Wouldnt it be great, you return home victorious from an 10 year campaign only to find your only son taken away by the sky-people with a note saying: Your an awesome fighter, so we took your son/children and beaten your wife who tried to protect them. Be blessed by the emperor.
The age of 12ish is ideal. There are plenty of examples of much older candidates. Like the blood raven fellow that was recruited from the IG on Tartarus. He would have been atleast 18 or so. Also has to do with the chapters traditons. Ultramarines take the top 1% of their IG military graduates. The Minotaurs, i think that's their name, take new born children offered up to the sky gods when their borned, left in a temple where a apoth comes downs scans the baby says yes or no and takes or leaves it.
Relatively speaking, if you compare the average WWI Infantryman to a modern day soldier, the modern day soldier would be a 'super soldier' in the eyes of the poor bloody infantryman.

Lorgar, only due to the puns
The Bridge Guard?
Ok, this must be new lore, because in the books, many Astartes are chosen as adults. The Blood Ravens trilogy has one such warrior and many of the old codexes detail the trials by combat that the Space Wolves and Blood Angels go through to become initiates. In the Horusy Heresy series, it outright states that many of Corax's marines were changed as adults. This is the first i have heard of child soldiers.
Child aspirants is the norm for 40K and has been for ages. Sometimes an older person can become a Marine but early to mid 20's is the max. That's why people like Kor Phaeron couldn't be an Astartes.
i know im 3 years too late with this but still, maybe someone, somewhere, maybe even arch, will read it.... the scientific explenation of the spinal organ that makes you analize what you eat.
There has been an experiment regarding DNA memory. The premise is that information are passed from parent to offspring so it KNOWS the basics without being tought. Like, what to eat and what to not eat. They took 2 control groups of mice, one was fed by normal feed, the other was fed with normal feed with added juniper berries. They ate this their entire life, then they were let to have offsprings within their control group. As soon as the offsprings were born and fed just a little milk, they were taken away and nortured by humans till they were ready for their first "normal" food. They marked offsprings from group 1 and 2, put them together, and released them into area with bowl of feed 1 and bowl feed 2 with juniper berries. Without any hesitation the mice seperated, offsprings of group 1 went to normal feed and 2 went to juniper berries. They never had a chance to learn it from their parrents and they were fed milk only right after being born. Some basic information for survival is indeed carried by DNA and varies parent from parent, region from region, some are universal. Its the reason why humans from birth are afraid of dark or spiders. If you show a little toddler a picture of spider, it will be scared. Even thou it never seen a spider. The genetic information is "this shape is dangerous". And this information is valid even in countries where there are no poisonous spiders AT ALL. Its just that old hard coded information.
So astartes basicaly is able to send the DNA imprint of what he ate to the organ which will analize it like subconcious brain and sends it as concious information to his normal brain.
Cool factoid, but it's analyze. Analize is much grosser. 😉 But I guess everything you eat eventually gets analized.

Although that has lead me to the question if the emperor kept the comparably low amount of information in the Y chromosome (as it is in humans compared to some other species) and if primarg cells would be able to create female phenotypes if the Y would be replaced by an X?
I mean I would assume that the basic structure and number of chromosomes is quite similar to that of a human considering the whole compatibility thing for the space marins but if he only planned to ever create male ones he might have scrapped some functions and looked them into a male phenotype although then again that might have been to much work for to little gain to remove it if he worked of, of a human template and it definitely would have been very handy if he ever planed for them to be able to procreate (for example in case that for some reason the empirium would be running low on primargs and he could not create any other due to being mortally wounded and bound to a chair) it's 2am I think I should go to sleep

You called it, Arch...
So if a poison is too much for a space marine then they literally shit it out? If the emperor has a text to speech need a scene of that.
I have to wonder why Gilliman's Oolitic Kidney didn't activate after his duel with Fulgrim... It is one of the things that constantly annoy me, Space Marines have a sizeable number of organs meant to make sure they can't fall prey to poisons, but in the fluff they constantly fall prey to bad stuff like that... It's like 25% of the geneseed is meant to avoid the marine being poisoned, like the extra lung, that secondary stomach that catches all the bad stuff going in, the neuroglotis that scans for poisons (that's a double check system just to avoid the marines dying from poisoned food), and the poison gland that basically can be used as a form of "If you can't filter it, weaponize it".
Then again reading something like "Once the Primarch was safely returned to the flagship his Oolitic Kidney was activated, purging his body of the foul poison and covering everybody in the infirmary with a green and yellow foul smelling acidic liquid..." doesn't have the same catch.
I think if you want to reach a wider audience you should really consider adding images of what you're talking about, they don't have to be too graphic but at least various images of Astartes Anatomy (like the one similar to Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man) or ones comparing Astartes size to regular humans.

Pity the Punisher is so old then, everything a space marine has to go through to become a space marine is basically a Tuesday for him.
There is no way they don't use anethesia. The pain would put them into shock and possibly leading to a heart attack. I woke up just after my abdominal surgery was finished, but before pain meds were administered. It was one a 2 inch cut, sure all they way through my stomach muscles into the cavity. I cannot describe nor express the level of pain.

TheDarkGenious Yes, but at least our armies consist of of age lobotomized criminals. And honestly hiw could anyone possibly improve upon what the Machine God hath already perfected? Cheifly the great pleasure toasters of old Earth.
You do know about the rape camps on mars. Granted, illegal, but still there. Also huge dicks to EVERYONE. When a writer wants an enemy from within he choses between cult mechanicus and inquisition. Admittly the Tech priests probably have some of the greatest "good guy"-pieces, probably with the guard. Of course this is depending on the writer, with some writers portraying the guard as Red army 2.0, while others (Mittchell, Abnett) portray them as a common-sense-faction thats actually pretty good. Just as some like to make the Mechanicus essentially a bunch of completly aloof assholes, that would love to turn entire hive worlds of innocents into servitors because efficiency and others make them actually good guys, if out of pragmatism: With the great amount of labour done by servitors the rest is usually well adjusted and well fed specialists along the statues and comfort of modern engineers, high-quality-artisans and so on. But you could continue that list on and on (Inquisition: The emperors pet psychopaths/reasonable and extremly efficient most of the time, the times when not just more prominent, Space Marines: Mariens Malevolent/Slaamenders and Lamenters...). But yes, the Mechanicus is definitly relatilvy high up, because it at least doesnt do something evil if its not necessary.

I know I am not spelling this right, but oh well. The laramen cells, wouldn't the cause an issue if they were implemented? Making it impossible to actually perform surgeries unless it was in a vacume sealed room? I mean, if it coagulates imediately, would than not make the implementation of further organs impossible since everything hards before you can cut the space marine open, put the new organ in, and sew him back up? Or am I missing something?
they probably have some anti/de-coagulating agent to counteract those oh-so-useful-but-somewhat-in-the-way-cells for the surgeries.

The child solider thing is new to me , is it part of the new 7th and 8th rewamp of 40k lore? The aspirants were usually in the 20'ies in the original lore , with barbaric trials of endurance and arena combats to get to be selected. Also shame on GW for making Magnus the red one eyed instead of a cyclops as he was before.
Carl Hallberg first off the whole child soldier thing has been around since at least a couple of years probably 3rd or 2nd edition at the earliest and second have a single eye does make Magnus cyclops anyway
Carl Hallberg it is very much new
Carl Hallberg
His model has three heads:
A cool helmet,
Two eyes, one scared/blind
One eye, Cyclops style
lol no having one eye makes you cyklopean not a cyclops. unless you think one eyed pirates are cyklops. Magnus used to have one big eye in the middle , it was also said that it was not considered strange due to Sanguinius having wings and Connrad Kurtz having claws.
No this is actually old lore. As usually the sources are contradicting each other, but new neophytes being below 14 years of old is a pretty old idea. The waters are muddied here as most novel characters we have stories from before they where recruited (like say Ragna) tell us that they where warriors in their culture. But a barbaric tribe might consider someone an adult as soon as puberty hits.
With regards to the end: Whether I loved or HATED the Tau, I would be running to them like my life depended on it (which it probably would) if I found myself in the 40k universe. Someone who could give them details about the formation, motivations and history of the other factions would be incredibly valued by the Ethereals and even if they're going to be stomped from the face of the galaxy in the next thousand years that's enough time for me to live out my life in a private estate that contains actual technology (which is not made of "some poor bugger from a hive"). I mean, if we tried to tell the Imperium anything useful we'd likely end up in the kind of torture chamber less senior members of the Inquisition only know of as a horrifying legend that gives them nightmares sometimes. Of course, actually getting to the Tau from anywhere but "walking distance" is probably equally likely to kill you (especially if you need to use warp travel) and even if you appeared ten steps away from a waiting squad of battlesuit escorts, that's still enough time to be murdered by an Ork and then snatched away by the Dark Eldar to be revived for decades of unimaginable torture orgies (or possibly worse, used as a slave to clean those up).

Lorgar had his stepfather Kor Phaeron augmented but he was an adult so he didn't get all the gene seed.

Since Kor Phaeron was an adult did he grow to the size of a regular astartes or did he remain with his human height?

Actually, survival based instincts are ingrained into the genetic memory. Example, a person with ancestors in 1600's England would be more wary of rats than average since their genetics contain a conditioned response to associate rats with disease. If Space Marines bodies are able to analyse DNA, they could extrapolate the genetic memories to develop instincts to avoid certain other species.
Vivid memories, yes. Low level instincts however have been proven to be passed down genetically. It's how an animal which has never taken a course in botany knows which mushrooms to eat. I'm not talking about advanced shit here, just a basic list of things not to fuck with.
"Experiments showed that a traumatic event could affect the DNA in sperm and alter the brains and behaviour of subsequent generations.
A Nature Neuroscience study shows mice trained to avoid a smell passed their aversion on to their "grandchildren".
Experts said the results were important for phobia and anxiety research.
The animals were trained to fear a smell similar to cherry blossom.
The team at the Emory University School of Medicine, in the US, then looked at what was happening inside the sperm.
They showed a section of DNA responsible for sensitivity to the cherry blossom scent was made more active in the mice's sperm.
Both the mice's offspring, and their offspring, were "extremely sensitive" to cherry blossom and would avoid the scent, despite never having experienced it in their lives.
Changes in brain structure were also found.
"The experiences of a parent, even before conceiving, markedly influence both structure and function in the nervous system of subsequent generations," the report concluded."

Space Wolf and Grey Knight geneseed seems to be able to work at later ages though. In the Space Wolf 8th edition Codex, it is mentioned that Wolf Priests go around challenging the promising young warriors and hunters of the Fenrisian tribes to several competitions of fighting, feasting, and drinking. Which of course the Wolf Priest always wins, but he selects the best among those who competed to becoming new Space Wolf aspirants. In addition when the tribes go to war aganist each Wolf Priests will observe the conflicts and select the most promising or proven young warriors even if they are on the verge of death to become Space Wolf aspirants. Ragnar Blackmane was selected in this manner.
The main character in the Grey Knight book Emperor's Gift was implanted with the Grey Knight geneseed at the age of 15. Though there was a significant chance of geneseed rejection and failure. He did successfully accept the geneseed implantation.
