What made Calgar's words so meaningful wasn't just "Finally being seen as innocent." It was because Calgar NEVER, not for a fraction of a second, doubted Titus. The instant he heard of his detention, his rage was so great it would probably make a Black Templar proud. He is the Ultramarines Big Brother. And God-Emperor Fucking help you if you mess with his bros.
And it shows how much of a tangled web the apparatus of the Inquisition is that even Calgar, a man who can talk to the High Lords of Terra as an equal was unable to get Titus back once he was in their clutches. If not for that chance encounter on Kadaku, the Ultramarines may not have been aware that Titus was alive and serving in the Deathwatch.
@@Darwinist This shows in what dire state imperium is. Logic is being crushed by Inquisition, and even chapter master have difficult time with them. It's sort of poetic also.
‘You have won the trust of the Chapter Master - defeated the entire tyranid race, destroyed the necrons, become best buds with Guilliman, and awoken the Emperor himself from his slumber… But know this Titus - the stain of suspicion never completely fades - I’ll be watching you - should you falter on the path for even a moment - I will show no mercy.’
'I will kill you if I so much as THINK you so much as questioned something. In fact, I'm actively looking for an excuse. No I have no secretly been corrupted by Slaanesh for my excessive hatred of you, stop speaking sense.' -Leandros, probably.
It wasn't just that Leandros reported him to the Inquisition. The thing is, the Chapters have internal processes for dealing with potential corruption. It's one of the main tasks of the Chaplains. What makes Leandros's actions so infuriating is that he spent the whole time talking about the Codex Astartes and how it should be followed and then he completely ignored it when the time came. The "wrath" that Calgar spoke up was likely a dressing down of Leandros that was probably felt all the way to the Eye of Terror. "Eeney Meeney Miney Moe...I wonder where my power fist will go..." -Calgar
It's like "oh you want to be up in everyone's shit sniffing around for corruption? Well then you should be a Chaplain and learn to do it properly!" Leandros just proves that even in the 41st millenium, there's at least one Blue Falcon in every unit.
@@Nyah420 I would wager that the process of becoming a chaplain is somewhat painful and involves a lot of drilling chapter doctrine into the initiate's head. Also, being a chaplain kind of removes you from the command structure and relegates you to a support role, though there are exceptions. So, Calgar essentially said, "You're an idiot, and now you pay for it. You will never achieve the glory your brothers will and you will learn the Codex Astartes PERFECTLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY so that you don't mess up again."
@@Nyah420 The Emperor of Mankind has been known to on occasion to resurrect, heal or even outright possess people to complete certain tasks/objectives. I mean there was this one time he possessed a child on Tyros during the Plague Wars.
The interesting thing about Leandros being a Chaplain: It’s speculated (if not outright confirmed) that him going through Chaplain training was his punishment for the ending events of SM1. Leandros was NOT supposed to go straight to the Inquisition to report suspicions of corruption from Titus, and part of Calgar’s “fierce wrath” might’ve included making Leandros go through the absolutely *grueling* training to become Chaplain. It’s a bit of a backhanded promotion in a few ways. 1) Leandros being Chaplain does give him more power, so on the surface to everyone else it looks like he got a promotion and nothing weird is happening. 2) That power comes with WAY more oversight from the Chapter Master, who likely was PISSED at him for getting Titus in trouble for really no valid reason. And that means Calgar can keep a much closer eye on Leandros to make sure he doesn’t step out of line again. 3) It punishes Leandros by putting him through the worst training he’ll likely ever experience just to get what he wants. The development runs parallel to Titus’ time in the Deathwatch in theme when you think about it that way. While Titus is sent off to die fighting as a black shield, coming out the end proving himself as a loyal and capable Ultramarine and regaining his chapter’s trust, Leandros gets put through hell for perpetrating the ACTUAL insubordination from the first game. Titus comes out of it a better man. Leandros comes out of it being taught a hard lesson.
@@mistah3687 Getting put on the Chaplain track also means(I think) that he will never be eligable to command a company or become Chapter Master himself. The best he can now do is become 1st Company Chaplain.
@@Darwinist Indeed. Also... If you take a closer look at his Chaplain armor... He's crossed the rubicon as well. Firstborns can't wear that pattern. I'd like to think that wasn't out of necessity, as why would a Firstborn Chaplain _need_ to be Primaris? If it was enough of a deal that Calgar ordered it done to Titus hoping it would save him... What if it was just part of Calgar's great wrath? I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure it was still super risky for Firstborns in the time between the two games. What if... And this is my headcanon until I hear otherwise... What if Calgar just ordered it, knowing he could just die, and when he survived, was like "Good. Time for Chaplain training." Because that's fucking sadistic and I'd kinda love Papa Smurf for it. 😂
@@Darwinisthighest position he could possibly become now is Master of Sanctity (High Chaplain), which is currently held by Cassius. But I get the feeling that Leandros isn’t that worthy.
@@ShadowGhost0117 I´m not quite familiar with 40k lore, having been introduced to it only recently. But doesn´t becoming a chaplain also remove his identity at least when it comes to his "flock"? Everyone will just know him as "Chaplain". Titus might be the last person to call Leandros by his name for a long time, if ever again. Unless we get to see Calgar chew him out in a third game, of course.
There are quite a few callbacks to the first game, for example. The Thunderhawk you're in at some parts of the game, the "Lance of Jove" is the same Thunderhawk you use in SM1. Meaning either the pilot has survived for 200 years and passed the Rubicon Primaris, or the gunship hasn't been completely destroyed in the 2 centuries between the games.
Astartes wargear and vehicles can endure for centuries or even millennia, given how incredibly tough and durable most of it is... but then, Thunderhawks in particular seem to have notoriously bad luck (a crash does make for a convenient and dramatic plot device, after all).
Ironically being a Chaplain really suits Leandros. He's basically the Asmodai of the Ultramarines. Extremely loyal and inspiring with almost religious zeal and suspicious of corruption and Traitors. Oh Asmodai is the Chaplain of the Dark Angels, oh He's also an Interrogator Chaplain who specialises in torture.
I would argue that being a Chaplain doesn't suit him at all because he himself violated the Codex Astartes when he took his concerns about Titus to the Inquisition rather than to the Ultramarines' Chaplains. Though I wouldn't be shocked if he became a Chaplain because he has a guilty conscience - Titus' last words to him clearly stung and may have given him some doubt about if he did the right thing, and Calgar's fury at Titus being taken afterwards probably didn't help with the feeling that he betrayed his brothers. If that's the case, him continuing to suspect Titus throughout SM2 might be doubling down in the hopes of being vindicated, rather than accepting that he was wrong and dealing with the guilt.
I’ve not been able to confirm this but I’ve been told that this same Chaplain was in a Dawn of War game and kicked major ass and some people who mentioned it were throughly disappointed when the Ultramarine Chaplain was revealed to be Leandros in this game.
@@Broomer52 There's Varnus in Dawn of War: Winter Assault who *did* kick ass, and he was ostensibly 2nd Company, but we know nothing about what happened to him after that campaign. Maybe he died and was replaced. Maybe he transferred to a different company, or joined one of the Primaris successor chapters to provide guidance. Regardless, it's been a long time since then in both lore and the real world, plus Varnus wouldn't be so sus of Titus because he soloed a Bloodthirster in that game.
@@BaronVonHoovy I always wondered, where the hell was the Chaplain in the first game. You would think that Titus being the the Captain of 2nd Company he would have a Chaplain with his company when on campaign. Plus this was before Guilliman’s return and Ultramarines were quite strict about the Codex around that time and considering Titus viewing the Codex as guide I'm surprised he never got in trouble by his Chaplain. Also I'm surprised people don't hate the Black Templars for helping the Inquisitor arrest Titus as well.
The timing of playing through all of Space Marine 1 when you did gave you the context for the ending to hit so much harder. THe timing was impeccable! And the ending is great, it is such a good ending and then it does the most glorious rugg puill ever.
19:30 It's the Emperor, it was falsely claimed as Calgar at launch due to a bug saying it was Calgar, but they fixed it to just say "VOICE". It's undeniably the Emperor speaking to Titus. My theory is Titus is a living saint for the space marines
@@n4m31355h4dow I mean, who's to say he didnt die on Graia? Leuze even says not even an Astartes could survive that magnitude of power. That's the second time now he has held concentrated Warp energy in his hands and emerged unscathed by it. Perhaps the Emperor wasn't ready for Titus to join him at that moment? Perhaps Titus literally had the touch of the Emperor, explaining how he is literally incorruptable like the Grey Knights. Sure, it could be that his spirit and faith in the Emperor is so strong, that it's impossible for Chaos to weave its way into his soul, but Titus seems to have some sort of "touch" that other marines don't have, hence why his "ability" is "righteous fury" (maybe thats just for the game but its still a point to make), is there any other regular space marine who has been spoken to directly by the Emperor? I know Dante basically spoke with Sanguinius, but not the Emperor. I think Titus yet has a bigger role to play, perhaps in closing the rift alongside Cawl and Guilliman with the aid of the Necron and Eldar.
@@n4m31355h4dow didn't Leandros tell Titus the wound the Carnifex gave him was fatal? What if he was clinically dead for a bit but was revived through the Rubicon surgery? Would that fulfill the conditions?
@@n4m31355h4dow You don't have to die to become a living saint in the imperium. The Little girl on Tyros during the plague wars as well as Mathieu during Godblight are both examples.
The voice line at the end is the Emperor. There are afew characters in 40k lore that have been helped by the Emperor from the warp. Guilliman is one of them. It also makes sense because it might be how Titus can withstand soo much warp energy without being turned. So yeah, i think the Big E has some plans for Titus yet.
@@NoLiveking87 i get that, but to have an entire game about titus proving hes not currupt, only for him to get pulled to chaos later, seems kinda silly.
@@ronuss It would be pretty Grim Dark through ... we prove our innocence we regain our the trust of or brothers and our trust in them only for it to be cruelly torn down. That said if it was that it would be a SM 3 stuff not DLC
Haven't watched this video yet, but heads up on December 10th on Amazon Prime is an animated continuation of the game. It's a mini series called Secret Level, that will have 2 episodes a day, for 15 video games in total... 1 episode per game from my understanding. The Space Marine 2 episode is confirmed to star Lt Titus and is the mission talked about at the games conclusion. There is a trailer for Secret Level that has a few clips for Space Marine 2's "Secret Level". It does have Titus with the helmet he gets at the end of the game.
On your list should def be Dawn of War I & II + expansions, Darktide, Boltgun, Blood & Teef, and last but not lease Rogue Trader. The franchise has been popping off with bangers lately
I would mention the genres. Dawn of War I and II are RTS (and II has some RPG elements), Darktide is a horde shooter a la Left 4 Dead, Boltgun is a "boomer shooter" a la oldschool Doom, Shootas Blood & Teef is a side-scrolling shooter (like Contra), and Rogue Trader is a good old-fashioned turnbased RPG. On top of that, there's also Mechanicus (an XCOM-style squad strategy game). Chaos Gate: Daemonhunter is also supposed to be a 40k game in that genre but I haven't played it, personally, so I can't attest to its quality. Also, avoid Dawn of War III. It exists, but it shouldn't. The first two games (especially the expansions for I and basically everything II) are really good but III is so absurdly bad in comparison that I got it for free and I still felt ripped off.
@@BaronVonHoovy No no no, let him experience Dawn of War 3. It's not a good idea to gatekeep him from games regardless of their quality otherwise DeeBee isn't going to understand why Dawn of War 3 was received in the manner that it was. If he can play through Halo 5 then he should play through Dawn of War 3
@@EdgarTheOgre the way it's said and the tone of it makes the most sense, also it'd explain why he's so resistant to the warp meaning the emperor most likely has big plans for Titus.
0:27 yep, glad you realized that! 25:15 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yep, now you too share the feelings we all felt, that damned bookworm is ironically enough in a very fitting position
7:46 "Calgar is just built different". Considering he lost his legs and arms several times and some organs too, yeah.....he is literally built different xD
"Rise, Son of Guilliman" is the Emperor himself speaking to Titus. Only a few have heard his voice. The Emperor protects his champion. Demetrian Titus is probably a living saint. Only in Death Does Duty End! (famous WH40K saying) - (Calgar: "Rise, Titus. Your duty is not yet done.") The ending is brilliant. Calgar's words to Titus were priceless. His dedication to the cause will not be broken by any evil. I'm glad you decided to play SP1 before finishing SP2. The experience was 40K x better because of that decision. Your service in Space Marine 2 is complete, brother! But your duty is not yet done. For the Emperor! P.S. Chaplains are known for their strictness, so I didn't suspect that Chaplain was Leandros. It was a shock to me! They couldn't have done it any better. P.P.S. Something happened to the shoulder pad at the end. I didn't have that (PC).
19:44 why do you think titus could withstand chaos corruption for so many years of constant exposure? Big E isnt comatose on the throne, he does some stuff from time to time. this series was so fucking epic.
Deebeegeek! This is not the end of your adventure with Space Marine 2! There are also Operations in which you play as Space Marines deployed by Titus at certain locations! Do it, come on!
Huge congrats! o7 Oh, not sure if this was mentioned before, but another 40k game you might be interested in that takes place between SM1 and 2 is called Boltgun. It's basically an oldschool DOOM game in 40k, and you play as an Ultramarine (yet again) called Malum Caedo (which also more or less happens to mean 'I kill evil') and he performs feats on the level of a Primarch during your time playing as him, like killing multiple Greater Daemons. Edit: Ah, I see Boltgun was already mentioned before!
Now you've done both Space Marine games, I'm sure everyone would love to see playthroughs of Chaos Gate: Daemonhunter, Rogue Trader, and especially Mechanicus with the sequel coming next year.
The first 2 Dawn of War games would be good and SpaceHulk, Darktide and Vermintide for multiplayer shenanigans. + The two Necromunda games but I’ve got the impression that they’re a bit mid.
Now if you really want to go crazy down the rabbit hole you could do the 50+ 40k games that have been released since the early 90s, grant a good amount of them cannot be easily or legally obtained anymore sadly like the great Space Hulk Ascension
The first 40k game I played was the original Dawn of War back aaaaaages ago. It's been awesome watching someone find 40k in much the same way all these years later!
Following you on this journey has been so engrossing. From the moment you faced your first Tyranids (not counting the demo testing), confused and hyped up at the same time about this whole new universe unveiling itself before you, you immediately were captivated. Electrified by the energy of your faith in the Emperor, though you didn't know it yet. From Novice to Initiate you followed your path to glory, with renewed fury against the enemies of humanity. From "what is that" to "Die heretic!" or "For the Emperor!!!" was the most satisfying thing to watch ever, and hilarious too at times. Welcome to the Chapter, Brother.
earlyer this year in the run-up to the game's release games workshop in their white dwarf magazine had a short lore article about titus coving events before the 1st game and everything upto the start of SM2. in reguards to the inquistor that took him at the end of the first game he was a inquisitor that allready disliked space marines and looked for any reason to take them for his experements. he long found titus not corrupted but kept torchering him (and other marines) while ignoreing communications from anyone investigateing the missing marines (who are kept in stasis when not being experemented on). the inquisitor would later be killed by the grey knights (a special group of anti-deamon marines) after getting demonicly possesed. a inquisitor sent to clean up after that one found the stasts stored marines and started the process of finding their homes if records could be found, titus however had no logs and he himself was feeling like he still had done something wrong chose to join the deathwatch (special marine force made up of members from allmost every chapter on rotation) as a black shield (a memeber who removes their original chapter colours cos of believed discrase) and was just looking for a place to die with honour and hope he got redemption in death.
I don't know what the source is but from what I've heard Titus was continuously tortured by the Inquisitor that arrested him at the end of SM1 because he wouldn't admit he was a traitor (which he wasn't). He managed to get out and join the Deathwatch after that because ironically the Inquisitor was executed for falling to Chaos by a daemon.
It is better. The Grey Knights are the ones who broke him free of his prison and sent him to the Deathwatch. You know, the faction that has a burned earth policy regarding demons, said: "Nah, you good Titus, no need to burn you for being tortured by the fallen inquisitor"
Space Hulk: Deathwing Enhanced Edition - A game that you should try, but you need three friends in a team, one has nothing to do there. And I don't understand why TH-cam blocked my comments about this game.
Does the campaign now properly play out with the cutscenes in co op? Last time I saw people play it you could only do it as missions but the context was missing
@@PsychoGoldVideos The last time I watched my friend play this game was approximately six months ago, and I already forgot the details. I'm not sure, but i think nothing change in missions. The developers abandoned the game, although in my opinion it is not bad, not perfect, yes, but not bad either.
tbh I liked it, it sets up a space marine 3. I wish we had gotten to see Roboute Guilleman instead of Calgar but w/e lol xD It also gives a reason for the many MORE people who have played Space Marine 2 and not Space Marine 1 ( a LOT ) can go and revisit it. I would LOVE a Space Marine 1.5 where you follow Titus in missions with the DeathWatch taht would be sooo sick. But that's just me wishing hard now lol.
maybe we’ll get a glimpse of him in the next game. Imagine fighting through an area and seeing him absolutely demolish enemies in the background, alongside his honor guard and the like. And of course you might even see him properly outside combat.
Excellent video Dee, it's been so much fun watching your journey through 40K and I'm glad you're still having fun with it. A 10 hour sitting for Boltgun sounds like madness, but a hell of a day 😅
They changed the subtitle of that final voice at the end calling you back. It was originally Calgar, but they changed it to "Voice." It is the big E himself.
Another detail that i like is the dates/times - all the events in this game happened in just over a week (that last cutscene was Day 8, 3am). This is what space marines do 24x7. For hundreds of years. It's just a typical week for them, saving a system from both a tyranid and chaos incursion.
For what happened to Titus during his time with the Inquisition between games, he was essentially tortured by an inquisitor for many many years until it was eventually revealed that inquisitor was in fact a heretic. Then they put Titus into Deathwatch as a sort of re-evaluation/continued penance. As far as other games to play to immerse yourself in the world my favorite is Rogue Trader which is sorta like warhammer’s version of D&D. If you don’t mind reading then I think it’s a fantastic experience especially looking at the world from a non Space Marine centric view but if reading is a bit of a deal breaker then it’s probably not the best. I always say give it a chance cause it really is super good but I also understand if that’s a hurdle to get over/deal breaker
Hey - if you are looking for more good 40k games: Darktide: Is pretty much the exact game play as space marine 2- except you play as normal humans, and it got not really a story, its all pve coop kill nurgle Zombies, but it got a couple Trailers you could check out! Rogue Trader: Its a CRPG from Owlcat, you play as a "Rogue Trader" - the one type of person even an Inquisitor cannot really order around - so its an RPG where you play as a super rich noble- exploring space to make money. You wanna sell Planets to Eldar? Start a Chaos Cult? Commit Tech Heresy by installing a Chaos Corrupted Dark Age AI on a C'than Shard? Or maybe you are a totally normal Imperial Citizen that does not commit before mentioned heresy?! Completly up to you!
The irony in revealing the chaplain's identity is that his name is on his right shoulder pad. Every player could have known his identity from the start of the game.
Yes, and it's a nice touch that it's staring you dead in the face the entire time and you just won't notice it because you're either too focused on the subtitles or the Chaplains helmet to see the big 'OS' on his pauldron, and yet everyone and their grandmother saw the twist coming a mile away when they heard his voice and mannerisms, even through the voice modulation of the helmet, and the realization that they wouldn't have this Chaplain be an ongoing character in the game without a name, especially when even those poor schmucks from the Deathwatch not only got names and custom armor, but even some hints of character and backstory.
@@michaelrivera6220 Well, I'll be dipped. It does say 'MORTIS'. Still, it does look like 'R O S' until he shifts to the left and shows off the pauldron in its entirety, so the devs might have chosen that word and font specifically for a sight gag. Still, everyone and their grandmother saw the twist coming, regardless of the pauldron's legibility.
Before we get started, DeeBee, I've got a suggestion for you: if you ever decide to take the final step into this hobby and buy some minis, see if you can find an actual GW store or a third-party store that does modeling/painting tutorials and film your first modeling/painting experience for us. 10:15 - I was hoping you'd get to fight a Changer of Ways. 10:49 - ...or not... 25:13 - I FETHIN' KNEW IT!!!!!!!! 29:19 - What happened between 1 and 2: Inquisitor Thrax (who was deeply distrustful of ALL Space Marines) kept Titus in stasis for nearly 100 years, bringing him out every so often to test him for corruption (and failing to find any every single time). Calgar kept trying to get Titus back for all that time. Eventually, irony of ironies, Thrax fell when he ended up possessed by a demon. While the Ordo Malus was cleaning up Thrax's mess, they found the dozen or so Marines Thrax had been keeping on ice. They cleared them of any sign of taint and returned them to their chapters, but Titus, unaware of Calgar's efforts, believed he was still considered a stain on the chapter's honor, and so he decided to join the Deathwatch as a Blackshield so that he could still serve without dishonoring his chapter. After several decades of that was where we came in. If you ever decided to get Warhammer+, Loremaster has an episode dedicated to Titus' history.
I love how Calgary pretty much outright says your his friend, and he knew you'd never be a heretic but couldn't find you, it took him too long to find you and bring you back. The story of what happened between is kinda wild.
Straight away, I have to confess I made a mistake. I also thought that they were demons but. Those bird things with swords and shields aren't demons. These *Tzangorz* are Warp mutated Abhuman, "Beastmen" or also known as the "Beastmen of Tzeentch". To chaos Lords I could imagine that these Tzangorz are very useful because as beings that naturally evolved in the material they should continue to exist without the warp. I'm probably not doing this lore justice without explaining the term *Abhuman* first.
Titus's story will continue in the newcoming Amazon's "Secret Level" (like Love, Death and Robots series but this time about video games characters/story). He has a helmet with golden laurels in it, so it's after 2nd game.
With Titus, the entire reason he wasn't back with the Ultramarines is that no one informed the Ultramarines that Titus was found, stashed in stasis inside of Thrax's torture chambers. Looking at other things, Titus and Calgar are from around the same time when they'd have become Ultramarines in the first place and would have known each other anyway
This is why i don't understand people who say Titus never shows emotion. He's not overt about it but there is a slight change in him after hearing all that from Calgar. You can see that all the weight of unearned shame and guilt finally leaves the man as the guy he looks up to tells him not only is he innocent. Not only did he never lose faith in him. NOT ONLY is he a greater man than his captors/torturers. But that he is among the best of all of them and someone everyone should look up to.
I mean... In the context of the lore it makes perfect sense Leandros was always a strickler for the rules, how marines should be, and he did not hesitate to report his superiors of his suspicions. The Chaplains job in a chapter is to keep the marines in check, make sure they do what they are supposed to and dont fall into the greedy hands of chaos.
Only problem is how he reported it doesn't follow the codex. He is a bit hypocritical. Space marines are supposed to report suspicion to there Chaplin, he skipped that step and went straight to the inquisition. XD that's why it's suspected he's a Chaplin now more as a punishment then a reward.
If they do decide to make SM3, I want the enemies to be necrons; the easter eggs with the tomb world and blackstone pylons is just.........they just can't pass that up!
honestly, that I think they’ll cover in possible DLC. What I would really like to see is Eldar or another race like the Tau. Something like that would be pretty neat.
Right off the bat, Titus like Primarch *Rogal Dorn* and Leadros is Primarch *Raboute Guilimen* near the end of the Horus Herasy. The Imperiam of Man survives despite it's own bureaucracy or Zeolotry.
It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on a lore video of what likely happened between Spacemarine 1 and 2, I feel like it would probably help understand more why Titus is a little more jaded in the beginning Spacemarine 2 and there is a little funny irony there too.
Clagar says he was pissed titus was wrongly accused, but they guy who did that is right next to him and promoted to chaplin. Seems there were no repercussions for leandros
Leandros being the Chaplain makes all the sense in the world. This is Warhammer 40K, forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim future there is only war. Leandros was *right* in this setting. His suspicion of Titus didn't come from him, it came from the Codex Astartes, it came from the systems that rule over the whole of Mankind in the most brutal and bloody regime imaginable. Leandros is the ideal Space Marine in the eyes of the Imperium. Where the great drama comes in is seeing that brutality conflict with the very human need for friendship and loyalty. Seeing it rewarded or punished, honored or betrayed.
Focus entertainment will probably add to Titus’s story either with DLC or SM3 but I’m hoping it to be DLC to keep the life line of SM2 going and make the game feel longer
As I said before, you should definitely try Boltgun since it takes place in the middle of SM 1 and SM 2, and explains how they got the artifact. It does have a very Doom-like boomer shooter feel to it, so I don't know if you might like it.
Sorry for being late but I'm worried that neither Bricky nor anybody else explained this: in 40k timeline there are no space marine legions. The Second Founding is the event that occurred right after the end of the Horus Heresy, in the early 31st Millennium. This Founding involved the division of the existing Loyalist Space Marine Legions into the far smaller, 1,000-man autonomous Chapters of the Space Marines as decreed by the new Codex Astartes, written by the Ultramarines' primarch, Roboute Guilliman. The remaining Loyalist Space Marine Legions were divided into smaller Successor Chapters -- one Chapter maintained their parent Legion's original name, badge and colours (like the Ultramarines chapter from Ultramarines legion), while the remaining Chapters took new names and heraldry (like Black Templars chapter from Imperial Fists legion). Some legions that were still numerous in numbers (like the Ultramarines legion) after the exhausting Horus Heresy campaign were split into dozens of new chapters , while others like Raven Guard birthed only a few. Since then all Space Marine chapters are autonomous in terms of their resources and recruitment. There were also later "foundings" of new chapters created by splitting from the existing ones or using the gene seeds stash on Terra to form completely new ones. Some chapters are not entirely codex compliant so they are not strictly following the directives from Codex Astartes in terms of tactics, and sometimes even in terms of numbers and structure as well (like Space Wolves and Black Templars) but the Inquisition tries to avert their eyes for those two to avoid another civil war.
All of your melee weapons have combos, just tap into the menu in-game and you can see what they are, youve had heavy attacks this entire time that you can weave between your light attacks.
Hope you enjoy the Operations! Its where the meat of the game is found. SADLY though, the Assault class (the class with the jump pack), is kiiiinda broken in a bad way, the jump pack is incredibly finicky to use because the levels werent properly designed around the use of a jump pack. Also, even on MINIMAL difficulty, the missions wont be like the single player where you can just flail around and not be at risk of death, the Operations are ALWAYS putting you at risk of death, you want to be aggressive, since you get health and armour back for dealing damage and executing enemies when you yourself have sustained damage, you can also parry ANY melee attack an enemy does to you, you dont need to wait for the blue flash to occur to do a parry, but you DO need to dodge for the other flash attacks. Make sure to make use of your pistol, its not just a sidearm to use when your primary is out of ammo, ONE shot to the head of a minoris with a pistol will end them, HAVE FUN!
Weel its not confirmed but by this point most people are prety sure the VOICE that said "Rise Son of Guilliman" is the Emperor ... and subsequently speculate that Titus may be an imperial saint or at least on his way to become one which would explain his resistance to the warp. That said this is 40K you can never be to sure where the voices in your head come from ... :D So there is always a possibility someone is playing with Titus and it was not the Emperor If you want to play more 40k with coop Rogue Trades is a good choice .. its a CRPG where you have the option for up to 6 player coop
Brother!! I like your videos, because you seem excited, we have almost the same tastes, halo, gears and now warhammer, I recommend you take a look at warhammer 40k darktide, it is cooperative that is, very frenetic, and you play for the inquisition, at least That game caught my attention, and because of it I entered the world of 40k, then it was space marine and I had been waiting for the release of space marine 2 for 1 year, success :D!

What made Calgar's words so meaningful wasn't just "Finally being seen as innocent." It was because Calgar NEVER, not for a fraction of a second, doubted Titus. The instant he heard of his detention, his rage was so great it would probably make a Black Templar proud.
He is the Ultramarines Big Brother. And God-Emperor Fucking help you if you mess with his bros.
And it shows how much of a tangled web the apparatus of the Inquisition is that even Calgar, a man who can talk to the High Lords of Terra as an equal was unable to get Titus back once he was in their clutches.
If not for that chance encounter on Kadaku, the Ultramarines may not have been aware that Titus was alive and serving in the Deathwatch.
@@Darwinist This shows in what dire state imperium is. Logic is being crushed by Inquisition, and even chapter master have difficult time with them. It's sort of poetic also.
The moment I saw the video title, I was like, "He realized the identity of the Chaplain, didn't he?"
‘You have won the trust of the Chapter Master - defeated the entire tyranid race, destroyed the necrons, become best buds with Guilliman, and awoken the Emperor himself from his slumber…
But know this Titus - the stain of suspicion never completely fades - I’ll be watching you - should you falter on the path for even a moment - I will show no mercy.’
He wants him to be a heretic SO badly.
"I WILL FINISH THE JOB TITUS STARTED....BY KILLING THAT LITTLE BITCH LEANDROS"
-Malum "balls of steel" Caedo
circa 40 millenia
'I will kill you if I so much as THINK you so much as questioned something. In fact, I'm actively looking for an excuse. No I have no secretly been corrupted by Slaanesh for my excessive hatred of you, stop speaking sense.'
-Leandros, probably.
@@HistoritorJimaldus literally everything about the first paragraph is wrong
@@ilikecorks1715 yep that’s the joke
It wasn't just that Leandros reported him to the Inquisition. The thing is, the Chapters have internal processes for dealing with potential corruption. It's one of the main tasks of the Chaplains. What makes Leandros's actions so infuriating is that he spent the whole time talking about the Codex Astartes and how it should be followed and then he completely ignored it when the time came.
The "wrath" that Calgar spoke up was likely a dressing down of Leandros that was probably felt all the way to the Eye of Terror.
"Eeney Meeney Miney Moe...I wonder where my power fist will go..." -Calgar
It's like "oh you want to be up in everyone's shit sniffing around for corruption? Well then you should be a Chaplain and learn to do it properly!"
Leandros just proves that even in the 41st millenium, there's at least one Blue Falcon in every unit.
How is Leandros a chaplain? Wouldn't Calgar demote him to cleaning the latrines or something?
@@Nyah420 I would wager that the process of becoming a chaplain is somewhat painful and involves a lot of drilling chapter doctrine into the initiate's head. Also, being a chaplain kind of removes you from the command structure and relegates you to a support role, though there are exceptions. So, Calgar essentially said, "You're an idiot, and now you pay for it. You will never achieve the glory your brothers will and you will learn the Codex Astartes PERFECTLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY so that you don't mess up again."
19:31 Whose voice do you think it could be? That's him, that's HIM and he protects.
That was Tzeentch, all went according to plan.
@@fluffernutter6633 But in that case, where rooster accent in his voice?🐓😄
"How am I still alive?" Well you see.... thats tied in with the disembodied voice
*E*
the emperor protects (gives aquila salute)
Wait, what does that mean?
@@Nyah420its the Emperor's voice. The Emperor clearly saved Titus
@@Nyah420 The Emperor of Mankind has been known to on occasion to resurrect, heal or even outright possess people to complete certain tasks/objectives. I mean there was this one time he possessed a child on Tyros during the Plague Wars.
The interesting thing about Leandros being a Chaplain: It’s speculated (if not outright confirmed) that him going through Chaplain training was his punishment for the ending events of SM1. Leandros was NOT supposed to go straight to the Inquisition to report suspicions of corruption from Titus, and part of Calgar’s “fierce wrath” might’ve included making Leandros go through the absolutely *grueling* training to become Chaplain. It’s a bit of a backhanded promotion in a few ways.
1) Leandros being Chaplain does give him more power, so on the surface to everyone else it looks like he got a promotion and nothing weird is happening.
2) That power comes with WAY more oversight from the Chapter Master, who likely was PISSED at him for getting Titus in trouble for really no valid reason. And that means Calgar can keep a much closer eye on Leandros to make sure he doesn’t step out of line again.
3) It punishes Leandros by putting him through the worst training he’ll likely ever experience just to get what he wants.
The development runs parallel to Titus’ time in the Deathwatch in theme when you think about it that way. While Titus is sent off to die fighting as a black shield, coming out the end proving himself as a loyal and capable Ultramarine and regaining his chapter’s trust, Leandros gets put through hell for perpetrating the ACTUAL insubordination from the first game. Titus comes out of it a better man. Leandros comes out of it being taught a hard lesson.
@@mistah3687 Getting put on the Chaplain track also means(I think) that he will never be eligable to command a company or become Chapter Master himself. The best he can now do is become 1st Company Chaplain.
@@Darwinist Indeed. Also... If you take a closer look at his Chaplain armor... He's crossed the rubicon as well. Firstborns can't wear that pattern.
I'd like to think that wasn't out of necessity, as why would a Firstborn Chaplain _need_ to be Primaris? If it was enough of a deal that Calgar ordered it done to Titus hoping it would save him... What if it was just part of Calgar's great wrath? I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure it was still super risky for Firstborns in the time between the two games. What if... And this is my headcanon until I hear otherwise... What if Calgar just ordered it, knowing he could just die, and when he survived, was like "Good. Time for Chaplain training." Because that's fucking sadistic and I'd kinda love Papa Smurf for it. 😂
@@Darwinisthighest position he could possibly become now is Master of Sanctity (High Chaplain), which is currently held by Cassius. But I get the feeling that Leandros isn’t that worthy.
@@ShadowGhost0117 I´m not quite familiar with 40k lore, having been introduced to it only recently. But doesn´t becoming a chaplain also remove his identity at least when it comes to his "flock"? Everyone will just know him as "Chaplain". Titus might be the last person to call Leandros by his name for a long time, if ever again. Unless we get to see Calgar chew him out in a third game, of course.
@ no, chaplains are still called by their name. They just get referred to by their title a lot as well
Gadriel went from 🤡to🗿with one sentence.
There are quite a few callbacks to the first game, for example. The Thunderhawk you're in at some parts of the game, the "Lance of Jove" is the same Thunderhawk you use in SM1. Meaning either the pilot has survived for 200 years and passed the Rubicon Primaris, or the gunship hasn't been completely destroyed in the 2 centuries between the games.
Oh shit, nice one. I didnt notice
@@n4m31355h4dow Yeah it's a subtle but nice little nod to the previous game.
Not necessarily the same pilot there
@@AzraelThanatos It's possible, not definitive, but possible.
Astartes wargear and vehicles can endure for centuries or even millennia, given how incredibly tough and durable most of it is... but then, Thunderhawks in particular seem to have notoriously bad luck (a crash does make for a convenient and dramatic plot device, after all).
Ironically being a Chaplain really suits Leandros.
He's basically the Asmodai of the Ultramarines. Extremely loyal and inspiring with almost religious zeal and suspicious of corruption and Traitors.
Oh Asmodai is the Chaplain of the Dark Angels, oh He's also an Interrogator Chaplain who specialises in torture.
He’s not such a massive prat as Leandros though.
I would argue that being a Chaplain doesn't suit him at all because he himself violated the Codex Astartes when he took his concerns about Titus to the Inquisition rather than to the Ultramarines' Chaplains. Though I wouldn't be shocked if he became a Chaplain because he has a guilty conscience - Titus' last words to him clearly stung and may have given him some doubt about if he did the right thing, and Calgar's fury at Titus being taken afterwards probably didn't help with the feeling that he betrayed his brothers. If that's the case, him continuing to suspect Titus throughout SM2 might be doubling down in the hopes of being vindicated, rather than accepting that he was wrong and dealing with the guilt.
I’ve not been able to confirm this but I’ve been told that this same Chaplain was in a Dawn of War game and kicked major ass and some people who mentioned it were throughly disappointed when the Ultramarine Chaplain was revealed to be Leandros in this game.
@@Broomer52 There's Varnus in Dawn of War: Winter Assault who *did* kick ass, and he was ostensibly 2nd Company, but we know nothing about what happened to him after that campaign.
Maybe he died and was replaced. Maybe he transferred to a different company, or joined one of the Primaris successor chapters to provide guidance.
Regardless, it's been a long time since then in both lore and the real world, plus Varnus wouldn't be so sus of Titus because he soloed a Bloodthirster in that game.
@@BaronVonHoovy I always wondered, where the hell was the Chaplain in the first game.
You would think that Titus being the the Captain of 2nd Company he would have a Chaplain with his company when on campaign. Plus this was before Guilliman’s return and Ultramarines were quite strict about the Codex around that time and considering Titus viewing the Codex as guide I'm surprised he never got in trouble by his Chaplain.
Also I'm surprised people don't hate the Black Templars for helping the Inquisitor arrest Titus as well.
The timing of playing through all of Space Marine 1 when you did gave you the context for the ending to hit so much harder.
THe timing was impeccable!
And the ending is great, it is such a good ending and then it does the most glorious rugg puill ever.
19:30 It's the Emperor, it was falsely claimed as Calgar at launch due to a bug saying it was Calgar, but they fixed it to just say "VOICE". It's undeniably the Emperor speaking to Titus. My theory is Titus is a living saint for the space marines
Not yet. Living saint have to die to become one but Titus could be the first space marine to become a living saint
@@n4m31355h4dow I mean, who's to say he didnt die on Graia? Leuze even says not even an Astartes could survive that magnitude of power. That's the second time now he has held concentrated Warp energy in his hands and emerged unscathed by it. Perhaps the Emperor wasn't ready for Titus to join him at that moment? Perhaps Titus literally had the touch of the Emperor, explaining how he is literally incorruptable like the Grey Knights. Sure, it could be that his spirit and faith in the Emperor is so strong, that it's impossible for Chaos to weave its way into his soul, but Titus seems to have some sort of "touch" that other marines don't have, hence why his "ability" is "righteous fury" (maybe thats just for the game but its still a point to make), is there any other regular space marine who has been spoken to directly by the Emperor? I know Dante basically spoke with Sanguinius, but not the Emperor. I think Titus yet has a bigger role to play, perhaps in closing the rift alongside Cawl and Guilliman with the aid of the Necron and Eldar.
@@n4m31355h4dow didn't Leandros tell Titus the wound the Carnifex gave him was fatal? What if he was clinically dead for a bit but was revived through the Rubicon surgery? Would that fulfill the conditions?
@@n4m31355h4dow You don't have to die to become a living saint in the imperium. The Little girl on Tyros during the plague wars as well as Mathieu during Godblight are both examples.
@@Immortalis7771 but those are temporary bless people unlike saint sabbat or Célestine who became warp entity who can come back
The voice line at the end is the Emperor. There are afew characters in 40k lore that have been helped by the Emperor from the warp. Guilliman is one of them. It also makes sense because it might be how Titus can withstand soo much warp energy without being turned. So yeah, i think the Big E has some plans for Titus yet.
I know another guy that just loves all kind of "plans" though
@@NoLiveking87 i get that, but to have an entire game about titus proving hes not currupt, only for him to get pulled to chaos later, seems kinda silly.
@@ronuss It would be pretty Grim Dark through ... we prove our innocence we regain our the trust of or brothers and our trust in them only for it to be cruelly torn down.
That said if it was that it would be a SM 3 stuff not DLC
Space marine 5
Titus : healed the emperor
Leandros : HERETIC!!
Emperor: Thank you for restoring me, Demetrian Titus.
Leandros: HMMM, I DON'T KNOW. 🤔
Titus: 😐
As a 40k fan of 35 years, it makes me incredibly happy to see how happy this experience makes you!
Haven't watched this video yet, but heads up on December 10th on Amazon Prime is an animated continuation of the game. It's a mini series called Secret Level, that will have 2 episodes a day, for 15 video games in total... 1 episode per game from my understanding.
The Space Marine 2 episode is confirmed to star Lt Titus and is the mission talked about at the games conclusion.
There is a trailer for Secret Level that has a few clips for Space Marine 2's "Secret Level". It does have Titus with the helmet he gets at the end of the game.
On your list should def be Dawn of War I & II + expansions, Darktide, Boltgun, Blood & Teef, and last but not lease Rogue Trader. The franchise has been popping off with bangers lately
I would mention the genres. Dawn of War I and II are RTS (and II has some RPG elements), Darktide is a horde shooter a la Left 4 Dead, Boltgun is a "boomer shooter" a la oldschool Doom, Shootas Blood & Teef is a side-scrolling shooter (like Contra), and Rogue Trader is a good old-fashioned turnbased RPG.
On top of that, there's also Mechanicus (an XCOM-style squad strategy game). Chaos Gate: Daemonhunter is also supposed to be a 40k game in that genre but I haven't played it, personally, so I can't attest to its quality.
Also, avoid Dawn of War III. It exists, but it shouldn't. The first two games (especially the expansions for I and basically everything II) are really good but III is so absurdly bad in comparison that I got it for free and I still felt ripped off.
@@BaronVonHoovy No no no, let him experience Dawn of War 3. It's not a good idea to gatekeep him from games regardless of their quality otherwise DeeBee isn't going to understand why Dawn of War 3 was received in the manner that it was. If he can play through Halo 5 then he should play through Dawn of War 3
The person who talks to him when towards the end is the fucking emperor
Show me evidence.
@@EdgarTheOgre the way it's said and the tone of it makes the most sense, also it'd explain why he's so resistant to the warp meaning the emperor most likely has big plans for Titus.
its calgar
Until it is actually proven, it is not confirmed by anyone whatsoever.
But for everyone's sake, this is pretty much going to be made the norm.
@@calthepal312it's not the Devs confirmed it was attributed to the wrong character.
I’m soo glad he did the space marine 1 play through before finishing
0:27 yep, glad you realized that!
25:15 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yep, now you too share the feelings we all felt, that damned bookworm is ironically enough in a very fitting position
This is not the warp, it is a middle dimension created by Imura.
7:46 "Calgar is just built different". Considering he lost his legs and arms several times and some organs too, yeah.....he is literally built different xD
19:36 It's the Big E himself!
Great reaction to Leandros lol glad to see your very much a brother now. Part of the 40k brotherhood ✊🏾
"Rise, Son of Guilliman" is the Emperor himself speaking to Titus. Only a few have heard his voice. The Emperor protects his champion. Demetrian Titus is probably a living saint.
Only in Death Does Duty End! (famous WH40K saying) - (Calgar: "Rise, Titus. Your duty is not yet done.")
The ending is brilliant. Calgar's words to Titus were priceless. His dedication to the cause will not be broken by any evil.
I'm glad you decided to play SP1 before finishing SP2. The experience was 40K x better because of that decision.
Your service in Space Marine 2 is complete, brother! But your duty is not yet done. For the Emperor!
P.S. Chaplains are known for their strictness, so I didn't suspect that Chaplain was Leandros. It was a shock to me! They couldn't have done it any better.
P.P.S. Something happened to the shoulder pad at the end. I didn't have that (PC).
19:44 why do you think titus could withstand chaos corruption for so many years of constant exposure? Big E isnt comatose on the throne, he does some stuff from time to time.
this series was so fucking epic.
Deebeegeek! This is not the end of your adventure with Space Marine 2!
There are also Operations in which you play as Space Marines deployed by Titus at certain locations! Do it, come on!
I agree! Grab some brother-buddies and pkay the Operations!
The Cut Scenes in SM2 Should be a movie
One day. One day...
Yep One day Indeed
Let's wait until Dec 10 and Secret Level's release
Yeah it looks cool
Huge congrats! o7
Oh, not sure if this was mentioned before, but another 40k game you might be interested in that takes place between SM1 and 2 is called Boltgun. It's basically an oldschool DOOM game in 40k, and you play as an Ultramarine (yet again) called Malum Caedo (which also more or less happens to mean 'I kill evil') and he performs feats on the level of a Primarch during your time playing as him, like killing multiple Greater Daemons.
Edit: Ah, I see Boltgun was already mentioned before!
Yeah boltgun is a good one, its connected to what happens inbetween sm1-2 as well
Deebeegeek mentions it in this material after the end credits.
Now you've done both Space Marine games, I'm sure everyone would love to see playthroughs of Chaos Gate: Daemonhunter, Rogue Trader, and especially Mechanicus with the sequel coming next year.
Can't forget about Boltgun either since that game is a sequel to SM1 just like SM2.
The first 2 Dawn of War games would be good and SpaceHulk, Darktide and Vermintide for multiplayer shenanigans. + The two Necromunda games but I’ve got the impression that they’re a bit mid.
Now if you really want to go crazy down the rabbit hole you could do the 50+ 40k games that have been released since the early 90s, grant a good amount of them cannot be easily or legally obtained anymore sadly like the great Space Hulk Ascension
The first 40k game I played was the original Dawn of War back aaaaaages ago. It's been awesome watching someone find 40k in much the same way all these years later!
Following you on this journey has been so engrossing. From the moment you faced your first Tyranids (not counting the demo testing), confused and hyped up at the same time about this whole new universe unveiling itself before you, you immediately were captivated.
Electrified by the energy of your faith in the Emperor, though you didn't know it yet.
From Novice to Initiate you followed your path to glory, with renewed fury against the enemies of humanity.
From "what is that" to "Die heretic!" or "For the Emperor!!!" was the most satisfying thing to watch ever, and hilarious too at times.
Welcome to the Chapter, Brother.
earlyer this year in the run-up to the game's release games workshop in their white dwarf magazine had a short lore article about titus coving events before the 1st game and everything upto the start of SM2. in reguards to the inquistor that took him at the end of the first game he was a inquisitor that allready disliked space marines and looked for any reason to take them for his experements. he long found titus not corrupted but kept torchering him (and other marines) while ignoreing communications from anyone investigateing the missing marines (who are kept in stasis when not being experemented on).
the inquisitor would later be killed by the grey knights (a special group of anti-deamon marines) after getting demonicly possesed. a inquisitor sent to clean up after that one found the stasts stored marines and started the process of finding their homes if records could be found, titus however had no logs and he himself was feeling like he still had done something wrong chose to join the deathwatch (special marine force made up of members from allmost every chapter on rotation) as a black shield (a memeber who removes their original chapter colours cos of believed discrase) and was just looking for a place to die with honour and hope he got redemption in death.
I was waiting to see your reaction on Chaplain's face reveal, especially after completing the first game.
I don't know what the source is but from what I've heard Titus was continuously tortured by the Inquisitor that arrested him at the end of SM1 because he wouldn't admit he was a traitor (which he wasn't). He managed to get out and join the Deathwatch after that because ironically the Inquisitor was executed for falling to Chaos by a daemon.
It is better. The Grey Knights are the ones who broke him free of his prison and sent him to the Deathwatch.
You know, the faction that has a burned earth policy regarding demons, said: "Nah, you good Titus, no need to burn you for being tortured by the fallen inquisitor"
Space Hulk: Deathwing Enhanced Edition - A game that you should try, but you need three friends in a team, one has nothing to do there.
And I don't understand why TH-cam blocked my comments about this game.
Does the campaign now properly play out with the cutscenes in co op? Last time I saw people play it you could only do it as missions but the context was missing
@@PsychoGoldVideos The last time I watched my friend play this game was approximately six months ago, and I already forgot the details. I'm not sure, but i think nothing change in missions.
The developers abandoned the game, although in my opinion it is not bad, not perfect, yes, but not bad either.
tbh I liked it, it sets up a space marine 3. I wish we had gotten to see Roboute Guilleman instead of Calgar but w/e lol xD
It also gives a reason for the many MORE people who have played Space Marine 2 and not Space Marine 1 ( a LOT ) can go and revisit it.
I would LOVE a Space Marine 1.5 where you follow Titus in missions with the DeathWatch taht would be sooo sick. But that's just me wishing hard now lol.
maybe we’ll get a glimpse of him in the next game. Imagine fighting through an area and seeing him absolutely demolish enemies in the background, alongside his honor guard and the like. And of course you might even see him properly outside combat.
LEANDROS! That Ultra-Snitch is back!
Excellent video Dee, it's been so much fun watching your journey through 40K and I'm glad you're still having fun with it.
A 10 hour sitting for Boltgun sounds like madness, but a hell of a day 😅
My condolences about the camera be briefly blocked by a few stray armor pieces in the last cutscene. I have never seen that happen before.
Exactly. It's a game of the good old style. From the times when games were games.
There are a few lore videos that cover Titus's years between 1 and 2. And his story was truly sad and tragic.
They changed the subtitle of that final voice at the end calling you back. It was originally Calgar, but they changed it to "Voice." It is the big E himself.
Another detail that i like is the dates/times - all the events in this game happened in just over a week (that last cutscene was Day 8, 3am). This is what space marines do 24x7. For hundreds of years. It's just a typical week for them, saving a system from both a tyranid and chaos incursion.
@19:27 that's the Emperor of Mankind.
Not confirmed. Other subtitles say it was Calgar.
@@Gunnar001that was patched out. The devs themselves said it was incorrect, changing it to ‘VOICE’ specifically because of that.
"Innocence proves nothing"
DBG be needing an MRI to check on that aneurysm he had at the end there! hahahahaha
Yooo another video btw when’s the next part of Helsreach movie coming out
For what happened to Titus during his time with the Inquisition between games, he was essentially tortured by an inquisitor for many many years until it was eventually revealed that inquisitor was in fact a heretic. Then they put Titus into Deathwatch as a sort of re-evaluation/continued penance. As far as other games to play to immerse yourself in the world my favorite is Rogue Trader which is sorta like warhammer’s version of D&D. If you don’t mind reading then I think it’s a fantastic experience especially looking at the world from a non Space Marine centric view but if reading is a bit of a deal breaker then it’s probably not the best. I always say give it a chance cause it really is super good but I also understand if that’s a hurdle to get over/deal breaker
Now imagine Calgar holding down Leandros while Titus beats him up.
Hey - if you are looking for more good 40k games:
Darktide: Is pretty much the exact game play as space marine 2- except you play as normal humans, and it got not really a story, its all pve coop kill nurgle Zombies, but it got a couple Trailers you could check out!
Rogue Trader: Its a CRPG from Owlcat, you play as a "Rogue Trader" - the one type of person even an Inquisitor cannot really order around - so its an RPG where you play as a super rich noble- exploring space to make money.
You wanna sell Planets to Eldar? Start a Chaos Cult? Commit Tech Heresy by installing a Chaos Corrupted Dark Age AI on a C'than Shard? Or maybe you are a totally normal Imperial Citizen that does not commit before mentioned heresy?! Completly up to you!
The irony in revealing the chaplain's identity is that his name is on his right shoulder pad. Every player could have known his identity from the start of the game.
Yes, and it's a nice touch that it's staring you dead in the face the entire time and you just won't notice it because you're either too focused on the subtitles or the Chaplains helmet to see the big 'OS' on his pauldron, and yet everyone and their grandmother saw the twist coming a mile away when they heard his voice and mannerisms, even through the voice modulation of the helmet, and the realization that they wouldn't have this Chaplain be an ongoing character in the game without a name, especially when even those poor schmucks from the Deathwatch not only got names and custom armor, but even some hints of character and backstory.
I spent the whole game legit thinking the same thing but at 24:54 you can see that the shoulder pad says mortis not leandros
It says MORTIS (which means "death" or "of death") in fancy script, not his name.
@@michaelrivera6220 Well, I'll be dipped. It does say 'MORTIS'. Still, it does look like 'R O S' until he shifts to the left and shows off the pauldron in its entirety, so the devs might have chosen that word and font specifically for a sight gag.
Still, everyone and their grandmother saw the twist coming, regardless of the pauldron's legibility.
The story continues in Amazon's secret level animated anthology series dropping in december
Before we get started, DeeBee, I've got a suggestion for you: if you ever decide to take the final step into this hobby and buy some minis, see if you can find an actual GW store or a third-party store that does modeling/painting tutorials and film your first modeling/painting experience for us.
10:15 - I was hoping you'd get to fight a Changer of Ways.
10:49 - ...or not...
25:13 - I FETHIN' KNEW IT!!!!!!!!
29:19 - What happened between 1 and 2: Inquisitor Thrax (who was deeply distrustful of ALL Space Marines) kept Titus in stasis for nearly 100 years, bringing him out every so often to test him for corruption (and failing to find any every single time). Calgar kept trying to get Titus back for all that time. Eventually, irony of ironies, Thrax fell when he ended up possessed by a demon. While the Ordo Malus was cleaning up Thrax's mess, they found the dozen or so Marines Thrax had been keeping on ice. They cleared them of any sign of taint and returned them to their chapters, but Titus, unaware of Calgar's efforts, believed he was still considered a stain on the chapter's honor, and so he decided to join the Deathwatch as a Blackshield so that he could still serve without dishonoring his chapter. After several decades of that was where we came in. If you ever decided to get Warhammer+, Loremaster has an episode dedicated to Titus' history.
"Warhammer 40K is here to stay on the channel"
YES! 🥳
The codex is just fancy toilet paper
Space Wolf gang post.
Laughs in black Templar
I love how Calgary pretty much outright says your his friend, and he knew you'd never be a heretic but couldn't find you, it took him too long to find you and bring you back.
The story of what happened between is kinda wild.
Straight away, I have to confess I made a mistake. I also thought that they were demons but. Those bird things with swords and shields aren't demons.
These *Tzangorz* are Warp mutated Abhuman, "Beastmen" or also known as the "Beastmen of Tzeentch".
To chaos Lords I could imagine that these Tzangorz are very useful because as beings that naturally evolved in the material they should continue to exist without the warp.
I'm probably not doing this lore justice without explaining the term *Abhuman* first.
Finally, what took you so long?
Also
Where's Helsreach? I do not want to call the inquisition in you, Dee
Titus's story will continue in the newcoming Amazon's "Secret Level" (like Love, Death and Robots series but this time about video games characters/story). He has a helmet with golden laurels in it, so it's after 2nd game.
With Titus, the entire reason he wasn't back with the Ultramarines is that no one informed the Ultramarines that Titus was found, stashed in stasis inside of Thrax's torture chambers.
Looking at other things, Titus and Calgar are from around the same time when they'd have become Ultramarines in the first place and would have known each other anyway
Calgar has a relic that protects him from wrap shenanigans
19:31 the motherf*cking emperor himself has spoken!
This is why i don't understand people who say Titus never shows emotion. He's not overt about it but there is a slight change in him after hearing all that from Calgar. You can see that all the weight of unearned shame and guilt finally leaves the man as the guy he looks up to tells him not only is he innocent. Not only did he never lose faith in him. NOT ONLY is he a greater man than his captors/torturers. But that he is among the best of all of them and someone everyone should look up to.
Do not find beauty in the warp, for that path leads to heresy.
I mean...
In the context of the lore it makes perfect sense
Leandros was always a strickler for the rules, how marines should be, and he did not hesitate to report his superiors of his suspicions.
The Chaplains job in a chapter is to keep the marines in check, make sure they do what they are supposed to and dont fall into the greedy hands of chaos.
Only problem is how he reported it doesn't follow the codex. He is a bit hypocritical. Space marines are supposed to report suspicion to there Chaplin, he skipped that step and went straight to the inquisition. XD that's why it's suspected he's a Chaplin now more as a punishment then a reward.
We might see Titus and Leandros together in the upcoming Secret Level episode next month. Apparently it continues right after where this left off
that was the voice of the emperor
If they do decide to make SM3, I want the enemies to be necrons; the easter eggs with the tomb world and blackstone pylons is just.........they just can't pass that up!
honestly, that I think they’ll cover in possible DLC. What I would really like to see is Eldar or another race like the Tau. Something like that would be pretty neat.
I recommend majorkill’s vid about what happened between the two games as it’s good stuff to know
Right off the bat, Titus like Primarch *Rogal Dorn* and Leadros is Primarch *Raboute Guilimen* near the end of the Horus Herasy.
The Imperiam of Man survives despite it's own bureaucracy or Zeolotry.
It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on a lore video of what likely happened between Spacemarine 1 and 2, I feel like it would probably help understand more why Titus is a little more jaded in the beginning Spacemarine 2 and there is a little funny irony there too.
Thanks for investing time and effort into this game and its universe. Welcome to the darkness of the far future.
Clagar says he was pissed titus was wrongly accused, but they guy who did that is right next to him and promoted to chaplin. Seems there were no repercussions for leandros
The Emperor Protects!
The Mission from Titus ,is in Amazones Secret Level Series.
40k boltgun would be the next to play. Its set after space marine 1 and its an old styled doom like
My entry point was the Dawn of War Series from Relic. I can only recommend these games, they are also really great.
Titus the Incorruptible
Leandros being the Chaplain makes all the sense in the world. This is Warhammer 40K, forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim future there is only war. Leandros was *right* in this setting. His suspicion of Titus didn't come from him, it came from the Codex Astartes, it came from the systems that rule over the whole of Mankind in the most brutal and bloody regime imaginable. Leandros is the ideal Space Marine in the eyes of the Imperium. Where the great drama comes in is seeing that brutality conflict with the very human need for friendship and loyalty. Seeing it rewarded or punished, honored or betrayed.
Woot all aboard the Leandros hate train! CHOO CHOO!
You have to finish helsreach! Its a masterpiece.
The emperor literally spoke to titas my god
Titus was in the death watch for 100 years or so
Focus entertainment will probably add to Titus’s story either with DLC or SM3 but I’m hoping it to be DLC to keep the life line of SM2 going and make the game feel longer
As I said before, you should definitely try Boltgun since it takes place in the middle of SM 1 and SM 2, and explains how they got the artifact. It does have a very Doom-like boomer shooter feel to it, so I don't know if you might like it.
You’re duty until death ,,, yes 😂
So looking forward to this
Leandros got promoted to HR.
Sorry for being late but I'm worried that neither Bricky nor anybody else explained this: in 40k timeline there are no space marine legions.
The Second Founding is the event that occurred right after the end of the Horus Heresy, in the early 31st Millennium. This Founding involved the division of the existing Loyalist Space Marine Legions into the far smaller, 1,000-man autonomous Chapters of the Space Marines as decreed by the new Codex Astartes, written by the Ultramarines' primarch, Roboute Guilliman.
The remaining Loyalist Space Marine Legions were divided into smaller Successor Chapters -- one Chapter maintained their parent Legion's original name, badge and colours (like the Ultramarines chapter from Ultramarines legion), while the remaining Chapters took new names and heraldry (like Black Templars chapter from Imperial Fists legion).
Some legions that were still numerous in numbers (like the Ultramarines legion) after the exhausting Horus Heresy campaign were split into dozens of new chapters , while others like Raven Guard birthed only a few.
Since then all Space Marine chapters are autonomous in terms of their resources and recruitment. There were also later "foundings" of new chapters created by splitting from the existing ones or using the gene seeds stash on Terra to form completely new ones. Some chapters are not entirely codex compliant so they are not strictly following the directives from Codex Astartes in terms of tactics, and sometimes even in terms of numbers and structure as well (like Space Wolves and Black Templars) but the Inquisition tries to avert their eyes for those two to avoid another civil war.
the implication of the ending is we will have some good old banter between leandros and titus in a DLC or third game
All of your melee weapons have combos, just tap into the menu in-game and you can see what they are, youve had heavy attacks this entire time that you can weave between your light attacks.
Hope you enjoy the Operations! Its where the meat of the game is found.
SADLY though, the Assault class (the class with the jump pack), is kiiiinda broken in a bad way, the jump pack is incredibly finicky to use because the levels werent properly designed around the use of a jump pack.
Also, even on MINIMAL difficulty, the missions wont be like the single player where you can just flail around and not be at risk of death, the Operations are ALWAYS putting you at risk of death, you want to be aggressive, since you get health and armour back for dealing damage and executing enemies when you yourself have sustained damage, you can also parry ANY melee attack an enemy does to you, you dont need to wait for the blue flash to occur to do a parry, but you DO need to dodge for the other flash attacks.
Make sure to make use of your pistol, its not just a sidearm to use when your primary is out of ammo, ONE shot to the head of a minoris with a pistol will end them, HAVE FUN!
Deebee Now you've got operations to do with friends and level up. Id love to know your reaction to the latest operation they just added
this assignment will not be DLC. It will actually be the subject of an episode of Amazon's new show Secret Level
Weel its not confirmed but by this point most people are prety sure the VOICE that said "Rise Son of Guilliman" is the Emperor ... and subsequently speculate that Titus may be an imperial saint or at least on his way to become one which would explain his resistance to the warp.
That said this is 40K you can never be to sure where the voices in your head come from ... :D So there is always a possibility someone is playing with Titus and it was not the Emperor
If you want to play more 40k with coop Rogue Trades is a good choice .. its a CRPG where you have the option for up to 6 player coop
I em slightly disappointed we never got to fight the Necrons
fyi the voice talking to him at the end isnt calgar its the emperor
what a journey! so glad to see you get to the end. Any interest in dipping your toes in the fantasy side?
Brother!! I like your videos, because you seem excited, we have almost the same tastes, halo, gears and now warhammer, I recommend you take a look at warhammer 40k darktide, it is cooperative that is, very frenetic, and you play for the inquisition, at least That game caught my attention, and because of it I entered the world of 40k, then it was space marine and I had been waiting for the release of space marine 2 for 1 year, success :D!
