back in 5th edition they had released a ruleset with Movie accurate Space marines For 900pts you had 5 marines and 1 rhino, and it was enough to level a "normal" 900-1000pts army
To be fair gw is really loose on what an accurate space marine is. Like some times they release stuff where 20 guys with hammers and shivs can kill 1 then turn around and say 500 augmented men with power weapons isn't enough.
Even still isn't completely lore accurate, marines have nano-second reaction times and have been described as blurs in combat by mortal eyes. It's probably done so the viewer can actually enjoy the combat but a lore accurate marine moves so quick you can't even see them other then a blur.
There's an extra layer of lore on the ending. The mission briefing said Mortality Absolute which means it's a suicide mission and the controller said "Die well brothers" after launching the missile from the ship because they're basically dropping a nuke on their position and they're not expected to survive the blast. There is a lore quote that goes "Only in death does duty end" so when the sergeant says "Our duty is done. It's time to go," what he really means is it's time to die. THAT'S why Titus says "Not yet old man." And turns to fight his way out and not accept death. There's almost 40 years of lore and other media for 40k so you definitely do not have to play the tabletop game to be a fan. If anything, with the recent mainstream resurgence, there will likely be quite a few new fans that never have and never will play the tabletop but will enjoy some other media in the franchise.
Nobody who even slightly values their time and money should touch the tabletop (and I'll mostly ignore how absolutely overflowing the fandom is with chuds and incels for this comment). Especially considering how utterly greedy and shitty GW is. Buying a top of the line computer for me is cheaper than collecting their fucking army models. Hell, some singular models are worth more than a damn RTX 4090 despite being two only feet of plastic (no, there is no justifiable excuse for that price, you are actually a moron if you think there is). It is genuinely cheaper to buy a decent budget 3D printer and grab some files for models than it is to pay their outrageous prices.
You can be a fan of 40k without ever having played the tabletop. I can't afford that stuff too but I read the books (or audio books) and play the video games and feel pretty well versed.
Yep, I did give GW like $60 bucks for some Warhammer Fantasy models i never actually painted as a kid (I'm just not an artsy person), but I've enjoyed the games and books and art and sharing the concepts and ideas with friends. I first learned about 40k cause my buddy in junior high was helping me run a mile consistently and he would talk about the Primarchs, the Emperor, and The Horus heresy while I was trying to keep pace with him. Crazy how far we've come to now witness Syama Pederson's work and now his contribution to They Shall Know No Fear, which is dripping with his style with that crazy efficient but satisfyingly crunchy and lethal combat movement. Never had to collect 40k minis to enjoy of of this. This world has legs.
I have never played the tabletop and have absolutely no intention of doing so, but there are tons of other media I've been engaged with - books, videogames, cinematics, lore videos, plenty to choose from. The selection of books alone is insane, almost every genre is out there and even with some really quality writing out there occasionally. I've been brought in with Dawn of War series, after the Winter Assault I put my hands on my first Commissar Cain novel and then it's a blur 😅
Read the codexes from 2nd edition onwards. They're filled with tons of short stories and lore tidbits. It's like learning the story of Dark Souls. Here's the rule: Everything is always the coolest thing ever in their own story.
That gut punch that shot that guy probably a hundred feet back was so sick. They are surprisingly fast. I love the weight and impact given with the animation and SFX. Amazing monster design on that final creature as well - it's overpowered AF tho LOL

"digital tabletop" is a "tabletop simulator" game on Steam, people made tons of board games inside it and WH40k has entire community around it with semi-automated tables, auto importing entire armies from army-list apps etc
The daemon/sorcerer dug out the fears of Ultramarines and materialized the result. They don't have much fears because of decades of indoctrination and usually respond to fear with agression. However seems that something remains beneath the layers. The first one apparently was afraid that the armor would fail him, or he was claustrophobic, or that he was weak without his armor, hence the armor tore him out of itself and crushed him. The wound materialized as if it was real, and blood came out of helmet. We don't see the fear of second one. The third one, Metaurus, was afraid that Titus will turn to chaos, hence spikes and horns on his armor, and will betray his brothers, and was stabbed in the vision, that materialized into a real stab wound.
I think it's slightly different from what you say each death represents. The sorcerer turns their own fears or doubts against themselves. The first doubts himself aka afraid of failure and we see him kill himself. (the second dies without us seeing how) Metarus doubts someone else, fearing what he brought into the Ultramarines in Titus. Maybe due to results of the Space Marine games' plot, or that look when he hands Titus back the chain. It gives me the vibe he didn't like Titus abandoning role to rush in. Since he chose Titus he feels responsible, and we see 'Titus' stab him. Titus has no doubts/fear and thus can't be broken.
The animator of this episode did something called Astartes which could be nice to check out as well. That was so well recieved that Games Workshop gve them a job. Although again putting your wallet at risk. :) Am I the only person not seeing reactions to episodes 2 and 3?
"That was so well received that Games Workshop gave them a job." Lol, no. He got an "offer he couldn't refuse" from a company that went on a litigious warpath against fan-made content that was more popular than their own media, and he wasn't the only one. They hired him, teased a follow up to Astartes after retouching and ruining the original, then promptly shelved him. Which is why his employment pages state he is a freelancer working on his own projects under his own studio (Digital Bones Studio), and no longer working at GW or on anything Warhammer related independently. Also, Syama Pedersen wasn't just "the animator" for this episode, he was the layout artist contracted by Blur Studios, not GW.
Some of the episodes were a bit too short to properly transfer them to TH-cam so I selected a few of the longer ones to bring over. All full length episodes (at least the ones uploaded so far :) ) are available at the Free Tier over on Patreon. Thank you for watching, my friend!
@Nyx_2142 Thanks for the info. I'm not that deep in it all personally. That's the rest of my polycule. I heard about him being signed up by GW but not the rest until now. Adeptus Ridiculous and SCi are my general Warhammer etc touchstones.
@WarpReactor Yeah. I knew some would be a stretch without doing an episode 2 and 3 type video now and then. I forget Patreon can allow a free option. At present even £1 a month is a challenge as I recover from surgery, but thats good to hear. Keep up the good work as ever. :)
@@Nyx_2142 I keep seeing people calling him "the animator" on this project, he's just one of many listed layout artists buried deep in the credits. The influence of Astartes on ATSKNF is all too clear, but Syama is very, very far from the lead of anything on this episode. Thanks for injecting a little realism.
i REALLY WISH the Astartes moved like this in Space Marine 2. The games never seem to capture that SPEED and CONTROL that the space marines are known for.
More comments under this video than under entire week of previous videos on the channel combined 😁 WH fans are passionate indeed. I've been playing the tabletop 40k since 2006, and I watched all Warp Reactions for the Expanse series since the beginning among other stuff, so this video was an unexpected and rather pleasant surprise! Glad you're having fun with Secret Level so far! By the way, the authors of Space Marine 2 did a pretty neat job on revealing Warhammer lore, so if you finished it, you know most of the basic concepts anyway. Beyond that -- been playing for 15 years, and still haven't read even a quarter of total number of books. Trust me, you can't know EVERYTHING, there is really a lot, so don't worry about it. Considering that Games Workshop (the main company) often retcons and rewrites some parts of lore now and then, not even worth trying. Regardless of video: this is pretty much an ordinary (yet suicidal, lol) mission for space marines. Some enemies like cultists and daemons of Tzeentch are familiar, while the others like the 'boss' is completely new. It can be a mutated human sorcerer, or (more likely) a high-ranked Daemon of Tzeentch, we can't know for sure. And that's the beauty! You can come with stories like this, add some unknown aliens or daemons, and it would still be at least somewhat lore accurate. I highly recommend to also watch the 'Astartes' short video series (5 separate videos, but you will likely find a united single film, it's about 5 minutes long in total) made by a third-party author -- he alone did such a high quality product that he outmatched all the animations made before, official and home-brewed). He later joined the team and participated in making 'And They Shall Know No Fear', so you will likely find a lot of similarities. Cheers 🖖🤘
They drop onto a planet of heretics. These are Chaos followers. Specifically the same one from the video game SM2, Tzeech, chaos God of knowledge / magic.
You've mentioned in your Star Trek videos that you came to the Trek fandom through the RPG (which, as a the designer of Star Trek Adventures, feels like a great compliment). It's entirely possible to do the same with 40k: there are two current tabletop RPGs for Warhammer 40,000-Wrath & Glory, and Imperium Maledictum-either of which I'd recommend as ways into the setting.
It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries The Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die. Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the Warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever vigilant Inquisition and the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants - and worse. To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim darkness of the far future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.
@@ibysdagon4659 im back after i gave it another watch xD the last thing they are fighting is clearly a demon right? and his "blood" looks the same, so know im a bit confused
@@Koplisken yeah honestly o figured it was a daemon too but on GWs site they say it's a chaos sorcerer. Honestly it's not a crazy leap. Tzeentch worshipers tend to be pretty badly mutated. So 1 bleeding glowing Gaderaid is kind of par for the course. Also I guess you can say the bodies stay too. A dead daemon should fade into the inmaterium. Kind of weak evidence because the area is so corrupted but still. Honestly I don't know why the tzaagnor are bleeding blue blood either. It's again not crazy but I would expect that only from the leaders of their lot flying on those disk things.
@ibysdagon4659 true, chaos sorcerer can heavily mutate. it also came to my mind that if it have been a demon, you would have seen the body vanish or at least see the demons essence coming out in some way. so, chaos sorcerer it is! appreciate the discussion though, have a good one mate
The rest of Secret Level had been outstanding. Made me interested in the other games. But everyone I see says the same thing about this episode: "Give me a season of this." Meanwhile, GW is working on female Space Marines.... To quote Glengarry Glen Ross, PEOPLE ARE WAITING TO GIVE YOU THEIR MONEY.
a good intro to all this craziness, is Bricky on YT with his 4 vids, in this watch order, called "what is Warhammer 40K timeline" for a full overview of the whole timeline, then goes in to "every Warhammer 40K faction" part one and two, for a look into the factions, digging a little deeper, ending with "every Space Marine in a nutshell" to dig even more into the different Space Marine legions... some lore has changed a bit since those vids 5 ish years ago, but 99% of it still fits...
LOL you censored the guy's head getting crushed xD A lot of your assumptions about the nature of the chaos corruption seen in this video are actually pretty close to accurate. A good thing about 40k but also a problem with 40k is that it's got about 400 novels, dozens of comics, dozens of games and table top lore books they put out constantly, so the amount of stuff to possibly know about is pretty insane but it's fun as hell. It's not uncommon tho for the narrative not to tell you everything though. There are entire species that exist that we don't have very much of a description of for example
Really you don't need to dive into tabletop to get into 40k. There are so many mediums out there for the franchise, some just play the pc games, some like me are into the books (still a money sink), some just like learning about it from lore channels on TH-cam. Really, yeah it has some 40 years of lore but you can still just jump in like Space Marine 2
Ohh, nice - In spite of doing of all the options *of course* the Angels of Death and *of course* Ultramarines (I'd have preferred to see a Guard Regiment caught in this WW1esqu warfare against insane powers) but hey!- it's against Chaos not the Tyranids (Orks would have been fun, but then, those probably display too much of the inherent [and fully intended] "fun with nihilism" of the whole setting). Again, while awesome I'd always love to see more of WH40k media to acknowledge the fully intended absurdity of the setting and yes, I'm a WH40k fan *without* playing the game either... though I own a ton of miniatures and painted and build those as a modelling exercise... but can't play with them, I modified them with things, parts and all that my huge 35th scale military modelling supplies offer so they're completely unusable in a game (it doesn't have all that complex rules for a Tactical Table Top Wargame).🧐😆 Best regards Raoul G. Kunz
Aaaah. One trying to resist the Needs of 40k... MWAHHAHAHAHAHA!!! A bit of geekdom lore for you; Mark X (Roman numerals, so 10) Astartes power armour. Each of those guys in that armour is a super human, biologically engineered ULTIMATE warrior. Only the hardest, strongest & most vicious children will even be selected to TRY to become an Astartes. Only 1 in a million will make it to becoming a full Astartes. In a suit of armour that makes them even faster, stronger, more agile, & essentially turns them into running tanks. That buggy never stood a chance! Also the packs on their backs. Merely power packs. The nuclear fusion power generator that powers the whole suit. Also most of the guns they fire are essentially hand held RPG's. These guys don't play 😂 Best of luck resisting the rabbit hole
The grimdark totalitarian zealous toxic masculine etc universe of WH40K is a huge turnoff to me and it was a bit of a struggle in the first half of this. But I'm ALSO a big fan of Lovecraftian weirdness and scifi in general, so the SECOND half really won me over with the cyclopean architecture and the weird shit.
Я не понимаю почему стримеры с реакциями массово начали прятать экран в моментах с репликами это так модно сейчас стало, я конечно понимаю что люди пришли смотреть реакцию стримера а не видео, но не обязательно во время коротких и не особо содержательных реплик прятать экран, скажу так из за этого нововведения теряется связь между зрителем и стримером который разбирает видео.
I always thought I was a 'sci-fi' enthusiast until I realized there were a TON of properties I knew painfully little about (Warhammer definitely falls into that category). Started the channel to make myself a better fan...one fandom at a time :) Thank you for watching, my friend!
@@WarpReactorOh, I meant OP, not you bro. You're educating yourself with a solid foundation in Trekology, no worries there! But OP should know that "warp reactors" were common in Star Trek decades before 40k was a gleam in James Workshop's eye.
Given issues of game balance, you rarely see Space Marines doing canonically-accurate fighting.
This is canonically accurate.
i mean in space marine 2 you literally level armies of opponents, seems quite lore accurate for me xD
@@JustCauseFan i think he meant on the tabletop
back in 5th edition they had released a ruleset with Movie accurate Space marines
For 900pts you had 5 marines and 1 rhino, and it was enough to level a "normal" 900-1000pts army
To be fair gw is really loose on what an accurate space marine is. Like some times they release stuff where 20 guys with hammers and shivs can kill 1 then turn around and say 500 augmented men with power weapons isn't enough.
Even still isn't completely lore accurate, marines have nano-second reaction times and have been described as blurs in combat by mortal eyes. It's probably done so the viewer can actually enjoy the combat but a lore accurate marine moves so quick you can't even see them other then a blur.
There's an extra layer of lore on the ending. The mission briefing said Mortality Absolute which means it's a suicide mission and the controller said "Die well brothers" after launching the missile from the ship because they're basically dropping a nuke on their position and they're not expected to survive the blast. There is a lore quote that goes "Only in death does duty end" so when the sergeant says "Our duty is done. It's time to go," what he really means is it's time to die. THAT'S why Titus says "Not yet old man." And turns to fight his way out and not accept death.

Especially considering how utterly greedy and shitty GW is. Buying a top of the line computer for me is cheaper than collecting their fucking army models. Hell, some singular models are worth more than a damn RTX 4090 despite being two only feet of plastic (no, there is no justifiable excuse for that price, you are actually a moron if you think there is). It is genuinely cheaper to buy a decent budget 3D printer and grab some files for models than it is to pay their outrageous prices.
Yes. I cannot play the tabletop, because there is simply no one here playing. But i painted a few figures and play the games and read the books.
You can be a fan of 40k without ever having played the tabletop. I can't afford that stuff too but I read the books (or audio books) and play the video games and feel pretty well versed.
Yep, I did give GW like $60 bucks for some Warhammer Fantasy models i never actually painted as a kid (I'm just not an artsy person), but I've enjoyed the games and books and art and sharing the concepts and ideas with friends. I first learned about 40k cause my buddy in junior high was helping me run a mile consistently and he would talk about the Primarchs, the Emperor, and The Horus heresy while I was trying to keep pace with him. Crazy how far we've come to now witness Syama Pederson's work and now his contribution to They Shall Know No Fear, which is dripping with his style with that crazy efficient but satisfyingly crunchy and lethal combat movement. Never had to collect 40k minis to enjoy of of this. This world has legs.

The kid isn't dragging a chainsword btw. He is actually dragging a Space Marines Knife ( The same one he kills the daemon at the end with )
Ooooo great detail! Obviously I totally missed that :)
Thank you for sharing, my friend!

Yeah, you clearly see how Astartes were used as foundation for this short. You really should check Astartes fan short out after this.

The paper thing is, in the simplest term was devil magic
"I am that guy.." - Titus.
They drop onto a planet of heretics.
These are Chaos followers.
Specifically the same one from the video game SM2, Tzeech, chaos God of knowledge / magic.
They are fighting cultist and demons of the chaos god Tzeentch..the second enemies in the Space Marine game..
Thank you, my friend! I just started that leg of the campaign in Space Marines 2 so I'll be sure to keep my eyes and ears open!
Now go and watch "Astartes" ; )
I kind of have the feeling they setting Titus up for "more".
Xenos just means alien, any non-human. the bugs are Tyranids
The game battle sector is like a table top simulator. Maybe check that out

a good intro to all this craziness, is Bricky on YT with his 4 vids, in this watch order, called "what is Warhammer 40K timeline" for a full overview of the whole timeline, then goes in to "every Warhammer 40K faction" part one and two, for a look into the factions, digging a little deeper, ending with "every Space Marine in a nutshell" to dig even more into the different Space Marine legions... some lore has changed a bit since those vids 5 ish years ago, but 99% of it still fits...
Definitely checking out Bricky's videos!
Thank you for the info and for watching, my friend!
@@WarpReactor a little info, u don't have to cut any of Bricky's vids out, as he's ok with people reacting to it :)
Oh awesome! Thank you, my friend!
For a great 40k experience and getting into the lore play the first Dawn of War and it's expansions.
They are currently on sale on Steam.
So they didn't send a Librarian with the Team...why?
LOL you censored the guy's head getting crushed xD
A lot of your assumptions about the nature of the chaos corruption seen in this video are actually pretty close to accurate. A good thing about 40k but also a problem with 40k is that it's got about 400 novels, dozens of comics, dozens of games and table top lore books they put out constantly, so the amount of stuff to possibly know about is pretty insane but it's fun as hell. It's not uncommon tho for the narrative not to tell you everything though. There are entire species that exist that we don't have very much of a description of for example
Why turn off the video sequence during a call? What's this new gimmick with the reenactors?
Look at that view count!
Really you don't need to dive into tabletop to get into 40k. There are so many mediums out there for the franchise, some just play the pc games, some like me are into the books (still a money sink), some just like learning about it from lore channels on TH-cam. Really, yeah it has some 40 years of lore but you can still just jump in like Space Marine 2
Ohh, nice - In spite of doing of all the options *of course* the Angels of Death and *of course* Ultramarines (I'd have preferred to see a Guard Regiment caught in this WW1esqu warfare against insane powers) but hey!- it's against Chaos not the Tyranids (Orks would have been fun, but then, those probably display too much of the inherent [and fully intended] "fun with nihilism" of the whole setting).
Again, while awesome I'd always love to see more of WH40k media to acknowledge the fully intended absurdity of the setting and yes, I'm a WH40k fan *without* playing the game either... though I own a ton of miniatures and painted and build those as a modelling exercise... but can't play with them, I modified them with things, parts and all that my huge 35th scale military modelling supplies offer so they're completely unusable in a game (it doesn't have all that complex rules for a Tactical Table Top Wargame).🧐😆

Aaaah. One trying to resist the Needs of 40k... MWAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!
A bit of geekdom lore for you;
Mark X (Roman numerals, so 10) Astartes power armour. Each of those guys in that armour is a super human, biologically engineered ULTIMATE warrior. Only the hardest, strongest & most vicious children will even be selected to TRY to become an Astartes. Only 1 in a million will make it to becoming a full Astartes. In a suit of armour that makes them even faster, stronger, more agile, & essentially turns them into running tanks. That buggy never stood a chance! Also the packs on their backs. Merely power packs. The nuclear fusion power generator that powers the whole suit. Also most of the guns they fire are essentially hand held RPG's. These guys don't play 😂
Best of luck resisting the rabbit hole
The grimdark totalitarian zealous toxic masculine etc universe of WH40K is a huge turnoff to me and it was a bit of a struggle in the first half of this.
But I'm ALSO a big fan of Lovecraftian weirdness and scifi in general, so the SECOND half really won me over with the cyclopean architecture and the weird shit.
why you censure ?
Я не понимаю почему стримеры с реакциями массово начали прятать экран в моментах с репликами это так модно сейчас стало, я конечно понимаю что люди пришли смотреть реакцию стримера а не видео, но не обязательно во время коротких и не особо содержательных реплик прятать экран, скажу так из за этого нововведения теряется связь между зрителем и стримером который разбирает видео.
It’s a copyright issue. If we keep the video up the whole time, we get demonetized or the vid gets taken down.
Thank you for watching, my friend
@@WarpReactor спасибо за разъяснение, не знал об этом.
This series was bad, Warhammer 40k was the only good episode
No
Ironic that your channel name is Warp Reactor yet don't know anything about Warhammer aside from Space Marine
I always thought I was a 'sci-fi' enthusiast until I realized there were a TON of properties I knew painfully little about (Warhammer definitely falls into that category). Started the channel to make myself a better fan...one fandom at a time :)
Thank you for watching, my friend!
And clearly you don't know anything about Star Trek lol
I'm getting there :D
Slowly but surely!
@@WarpReactorOh, I meant OP, not you bro. You're educating yourself with a solid foundation in Trekology, no worries there! But OP should know that "warp reactors" were common in Star Trek decades before 40k was a gleam in James Workshop's eye.
@@WarpReactorIrony is that your name represents chaos lmao I sense a heretic in our mists
Bricky as amazing video explaining timeline, lore, faction and all that good 40k stuff
