Can't wait to see this man do the Order Campaign for Winter Assault. Try to save as many Eldar lives and as many Guardsmen lives as possible. That would be a challenge, for sure, lads.
@@Guardsman-from-Cadia Davey gunface did it deathless already. Go watch it.
Imperial Guard: "We're guardsmen, my lord. We're meant to be expendable."
SaintJam: "Not to me."
Underrated comment💀💀💀
now you can go be expendable somewhere else, which makes both of us happy
Star Wars?
@@Sapphiregamer8605 Yup. More specifically, The Clone Wars cartoon.
No guardsman actually says they are expendable though.
I had no idea you could save those two Chad Guardsmen on Into the Maw with the Librarian's ability, I was always so sad that they got immediately killed after showing us the Eldar webway gate, I'm definitely going to save those guys on my next playthrough.
It's so cathartic, those absolute legends deserve better, and now, we can give that to them 😄
Same!!!! I'm gonna try this 😍 Always protect the brave servants of the emperor 💪
Somehow I managed to save them by accidently body blocking them when I went towards the webway gate with my 5 full squeads of marines.
In repeated playthroughs, I always made sure to bring extra squads to protect them immediately.
2 lone guardsmen surviving against Orcs, Eldar, and chaos forces for a week? these guys are main character level special, and I love it
That turret defense truly makes Rogal Dorn proud. (Never have I seen that much turrets in unmodded dawn of war before)
Original dow allowed unlimited turrets so long as you had the space for them. Relic implemented the 6 turret limit in the future expansions.
@@Satugai unless you’re playing the Guard, then (almost) every building can be a turret!
@@dingusdean1905 or orks, where all buildings are turrets.
I want to see one side try to break through those defenses
I actually did that throughout my play through of DOW1. During the Into The Maw mission for every listening post I built I would build as many turrets as I could fit by it.

@@florijnvantill4422ass in: Ana-thema
@@justinstratfordBut what about the synthesis
The way Gabriel says "Old... friend?" when Isador takes the Maledictum is still heartbreaking. One of the few times you can hear real sadness from a space marine
"Surrender human if not for you then for the Greater Good"
"The Greater Good is coming at you from my bolter alien"
"Do the lives of your men mean so little for you?"
"You are right. It was foolish of me to sacrafice my men for something as insignificant as this. The Imperium needs us to protect it from dangers more pressing then this. We will retreat and leave you the base if you guarantee safe passage for evacuation"
The irony is the Tau would be more likely to agree to this compromise than the imperial commanders would
@@sturm9087 given the tau in context stole that world not a decade ago and are still trying to lay down roots not really unjustified I think thule had it right if you wanted you wanted to care about your mens lives ya shoulda thought of that months before you showed up
SaintJam is real life embodiment of a Winter Assault War Hero, General "Humanity: Fuck Yeah!" Sturnn. ThunderPsyker would be proud.
*intense sobbing* I MISS YOU, GENERAL STURNN!
I love these kind of challanges. You were the sheild of the Emperror guarding the people of Tartarus. And i am sure every guardsman apreciates your consideration for them. I would love to see you play like this with other factions as well
Absolutely. THAT is how it should be. His Angels of Death acting as the shield for the Guard, as they act as the shield for civilians. Ahaha it doesn't always go like that, but it's what we should all strive for. I'm certain those Guardsmen would go on to save others, and many; if not most of them would be evacuated in the end as the people of Tartarus are sent to a new planet.
@@Saint_Jam You’re a good man. As a wise Ogryn has said many-a times:
“PROTECT THE LIL ‘UNS!!!!”
I must say, your editing and narrative skills are truly remarkable. It's quite amazing how you are able to seemlessly intertwine the cutscenes from all DoW games, while introducing the viewer to the narrative in such a way, that even though everyone who already played the game, knows it very well, you still manage to bring in novelty and broader context to it.
You are truly a gifted individual, sir.
Absolute legend! thank you man, ahaha I very much appreciate that; I love how the context adds so much more depth to the game so I just had to weave it in
hi sindri :) , this is sheg
@@shegaft3566 Yoooooo! OMG, it's an honor 😅You're a legend in DoW, and I've watched many of your replays on Astro's channel, lol.
@@luckylarry71 lol you over react xD , i'm just a player
@@shegaft3566 I salute your modesty, good sir. Still, you give the game a good name in my book ;D
My dad really loved playing imperial guards and he was like a reverse commisar
He would set up gun emplacement and win the game with heavy artillery losing no man
His games however would last like 5 to 6 hours
I know this is an old comment, but I unironically played most RTS games the same way. Why waste perfectly good resources on units that will die quickly, when you can just blow up everything miles away, and use those squishy units to defend those artillery guns and emplacements instead?
Yes I spammed bunkers and siege tanks in Starcraft, as well as played British in Company of Heroes 2, how can you tell?
And i thought my battles taking up to a 1 hour 30 minutes were long (fuck drukhari and tau)
@@damianwaga6357yooo another UKF main!
I love how SaintJam, like me when I play, takes the game's narratives at face value, and goes into full "role-play" mode. That's what immersion, and ultimately the best fun, are about!
It's great that the Half-Life and Warhammer 40000 universes happen to be two I love haha
May the Emperor Protect.

The Emperor did
I love stuff like this in rts or in any other game, it makes absolutely no difference to the ending and very time consuming, even bad for your points in game scoreboard but is very satisfying to the heart imagining how many more lives saved.
Dawn of war 1 is one of the worst games to do deathless, it's squad based and the pathfinding is not the best, so you need to be extra careful in your engagements, and some sections you will have to wait a long while for the pre-buff whirlwinds to bombard the enemy.
At least you are space marines so you are rather robust.
For winter assault the guard is actually kinda cracked for deathless, solid builder unit, you can put guardsmen into buildings where they shoot out and they can tunnel to other buildings, your apc is solid and you can load guardsmen into it to shoot out.
eldar are not great, you have to rely on your farseer doing most of the work due to durability issues on the rest of your units.
the disorder side has a mission where you really can't go deathless, unless you count cheesing the faction swap so all the deaths are on the ai controller...
@@andrewgreeb916 "disorder"? are we not allowed to say *choas* now?
@@rokkraljkolesa9317 It's "Chaos", but Disorder is a better term because Orks aren't aligned with the in-setting concept of "Chaos"
@@SynonamessBotchKevin oh right, orks
The funny thing is that in most missions you actually can just suicide angelos until he kill everyone, because when angelos lose all health and "died" you can just resummon him again. So technically he not died just sent in shadow realm until resummon)

3:46 I'd forgotten about this gem
It doesn't orbit the sun, it's marching around it on patrol
Whats the game called 3:46
@@martinpavlovski3251it’s a meme about there being so many guardsmen’s in the universe that they made a planet out of em and still have plenty left
@@martinpavlovski3251 It's Chapter Master.
I just love how the summary says "Ork Presence: Tiny." *_"Tiny"_*
This means that, on this planet, which has a guard presence _so large_ the sting of numbers goes completely off the screen, *_SOME ORKS ARE STILL ALIVE._*
What I love most is the overall space marine casualties at the end of this video is very typical after a campaign, 23 might not sound like a lot but thats a quarter of a company, and with the amount of time and resources it takes to produce a single marine those numbers won’t be replaced easily.
For a smaller engagement 23 marines is a lot but in the larger battles/campaigns/warzones in the setting losing an entire company or even a chapter in a single battle isn’t uncommon. On taros a marine chapter lost 80+ marines in the span of around 2 days while on the defensive in a city against the Tau.
@@sturm9087really does depend on a lot, (mostly the writers bias) but casualties do depend a lot on what they’re fighting and whether or not things have gone horribly wrong. I’d still call losing 80 marines a pyrrhic victory and not ideal.
@@clan741 yeah writers bias can be a problem but this was in the imperium armor books which are some of the best and most accurate books out there written directly by the forgeworld team and not contracted out to freelance authors like black library does. If lore directly from games workshops internal team isn’t accurate idk what would be. These books also have everything from force org charts to technical specs for weapons and vehicles and even the standard kit of the different factions units. Most of what we know about 40k weapons and gear comes directly from these books.
It also wasn’t a pyrrhic victory for the marines since they lost that battle and retreated. They sent in a company of marines (100+ a dreadnought) to assassinate a governor friendly to the Tau. While they were searching for him the Tau sent reinforcements to the local pdf and the marines tried to hold the palace and surrounding areas while searching for the governor. By day 2 the captain in charge realized the governor must have escaped and he had already lost 80% of his company and the dreadnought so he had his thunderhawks pull the remaining marines out under cover of darkness.
@@sturm9087 completely unrelated that but just reminds me of people that say things stupid like a single space marine marine chapter could wipe out the tau, like at there best performance 80 marines getting killed on a world they don't even hold
@@calebbarnhouse496 yeah people always say that the damocles gulf crusade almost wiped out the Tau but it didn’t even get through its first sept world before getting stopped in its tracks. That was back when the Tau didn’t have a military fleet, didn’t know how to fight the imperium, and were like 20% of the size they are now. If the imperium wanted to destroy the Tau it would be a warzone that makes armageddon look small and the imperium really can’t afford to start something that big right now
You are a true Saint! Saving as many lives in as many games as you do, the Emperor himself would bless you!

@@TheEyez187 to keep suffering agony beyond human understanding to keep literal hundreds if not thousands of billions humans alive and capable of traversing the Warp. I think its more than a fair deal, especially because he personally gets nothing out of it than more endless pain and agony.

Statisitcally God* requested/required more sacrifices and lives/blood taken/spilled. The number of sacrificial offerings should have equated to 000's of animals a year and not just any animals the first and best. and he was only Lording over and "Protecting a few hundred thousand followers". When you have to protect ten hundred thousand worlds worth of followers, such a minor animal genocide is not going to cut it!
You get {to eat} Humans and not just any, the psyker and the witch! :D
* and the Christians have the audacity to accuse Satanist's of animal sacrifice, esecially goats and Rams, and blood magic rituals and altars!! >XD
That's why the Big E got rid of the religions, such practices would appease Khorne...... in the same way it seems to please God .... Blood for the Blood God.
Wait is God Khorne!?
Jesus Khorne have I stumbled on to the truths!?! >XD
This turned from a game challenge to a movie for me
The way you narrate, show pictures, add some memes and arrange your soldiers with tactics while attacking and defending.
I can say this is like the Canon Dawn of War experience for me.
I have next to no knowledge of the warhammer 40k series. Nor am I much of a fan of RTS. But this was EXCELLENTLY done, sir, and I cannot wait to see more.
Oh Hell yeah! Ok THAT is exactly what I love to hear! I'm over joyed to hear that, showing off all these hobbies and interests to people who may have never seen them before is exactly what I love doing 😄 Thank you
I'm a fan of Half Life, and I'm a sucker for keeping NPC allies in video games alive. It was almost like the two vids you made on that series were made specifically for me to see. So of course I'd stick around if you continued that effort elsewhere.
Well, you shared this hobby and interest with me. I can toss one back to ya if you're interested.
Ever heard of a series known as the Earth Defense Force / EDF? Third person shooters set in Japanese, Budgeted, Sci-Fi Military VS. Alien Invasion films? I think it's a series that you might enjoy, and it's got a lot of NPCs fighting alongside you. Though most entries are consoles only, there's two games on steam (besides spin-off titles): EDF 4.1 (remake of 4 to ps4 after a shoddy attempt at a ps3 release, re-released to steam soon after), and EDF 5.
@@galacticheroman AHHH YES! Yeah I loved EDF, I only played one of the games but I loved it to bits. Earth Defense Force 2017 on the 360
Seriously 😄that was GOOD, and I have looked into the newer EDF games on steam, they look really good, I'll need to make the plunge into them one day for sure, ahh thanks for the suggestion bro
and yeah i'm glad you enjoyed the video man! It's comments like these that inspire me, cheers!
@@Saint_Jam You. I like you.
Ya wanna play together? I've delved _way_ too many hours into BOTH of the steam games and sunk deep into the trenches of the (kinda small) sea of wikis. I'd be happy to chuck lore / headcanon knowledge at you if you wanna throw some Warhammer 40k lore at me. We'd be like monkeys throwing rocks at each other for fun.
Also if you do pick 'em up, I'd recommend getting the Mission Pack DLCs for additional content. The other DLCs besides that are kinda useless, mostly some weeb stuff and weapons meant for the early game.
@@Saint_Jam okay maybe the "throwing rocks at each other for fun" comment was a bit weird, sorry-
This guy really is a saint. His username doesn’t lie.
1:14 "Dawn of War takes place sometime before the Fall of Cadia" *I rapidly age to a granny in an instant at TFoC being used as a reference point*
Also lol @ the Guardsman Planet reference
I know the feeling all too well man. AHaha welllll it is a.. turning point in 40k, both for lore and the table top 😅
Before the *What* of Cadia? Yeah nah. That's the end of the setting to me the day that never comes.
Cadia Stands! @@DIEGhostfish
Eldar: Kills six scouts
General SaintJam: *This is where the fun begins*
Those eldar not telling the blood ravens that very important tidbit even as they’re gathered around the demon stone about to smash it open truly were just straight up throwing
The Administratum appreciates your devotion to ensuring the that the loss of Tartarus wasn't total. Those survivors will be put to work in the factoria of Meridian
I'm sorry you did WHAT!? You're a humanitarian madman. I love it. I love you. Haven't even watched the video yet but instantly impressed.
I love how you took this a step further and made your extended story more ,real, by for example fortifying Magna Bonum. You're doing good story telling and it's very entertaining.
I can't believe that you were able to turn those few fallen brothers into dreadnoughts so quickly
Finally, lore accurate space marines
you know your commander is gonna take ZERO shit from anything when he outfits a bridge's ruins to the brim with turrets in case the orks feel like repairing it
“Humanity good alien bad”
That is uh… sometimes accurate in 40k
It is immeasurably satisfying to see somebody put as much time and effort into the old Dawn of War games as I once did. Indeed, back in 2019 I played through the entire series 'canonically', playing as the canon victor factions in all the games campaigns, with minimal casualties, and coming up with lore rationale to explain stuff. Lovely to see a content creator with as much talent as you doing the same.
Well done man, you've got another loyal sub.
7:15 I always loved when I played a 4x game to try to think what I could do (with building placement, distribution of troops, etc) to leave the level area in the best shape possible for future inhabitants/forces. I got a tickle from seeing you do something similar there with the barracks placement.
Guardsmen: We held out for a week...
Eldar: Sneak attack, kill them both, focus fire.
SaintJam: *Not on my watch.*
Shipping out to USMC Bootcamp tomorrow night, no better way to spend what little of my time as a civie left than to watch another masterpiece, thanks for the amazing vids SJam, you a real one
Thank you, very much and congratulations man, that news is exciting! I wish you the absolute best of luck man, your gonna make it

Best series I've seen on TH-cam in a while. This is exactly what I try to do in pretty much every game I play, and yet it's never discussed or covered by even weird speedrunners.
Just as a reference I definitely always tried to save the elder in the last mission. I feel like at that point Gabriel would have realized they could have retreated but instead still fight chaos. With even the guardsmen either evacuated or quickly being overrun he would take any allies he could get. Honestly I think he should’ve garnered a friendship with the elder by the end of this after fighting alongside them and against them so much.
Dunno if you into the novelization of Warhammer 40k, but there were at least 2 novels set between DOW1 and DOW2 where Gabriel encounter the Eldars again and they had to do a temporary alliance against the Chaos Space Marines
@@hanchiman Dear god please don't bring up the Goto novels. Please.
Yes Inquisitor, this comment right here.
This dude saves as many people as he can, where survival would be 0%

Another incredible video, I am honestly surprised there are so many games where you can choose to save people. Leave it to the Genius Saint Jam to find such realistic masterpiece's. I hope you will have a fantastic day, lad
I couldn't agree more, and the thing is, especially under Gabriel Angelos. The Blood Ravens actually on MANY occasions go out of their way to help the ordinary men, women and children. For me, that is why the Space Marines exist in the first place, or at least that's their purpose now. Protecting Humanity, some just do it better then others lmao. It's why they're my favourite Chapter honestly.
@@Saint_Jam I see, my favorite chapter is the Salamander’s for the very same reason.

I fucking adore that
well remember, just because a marine falls in battle doesn't mean he is dead, a lot of them if the battle is won, can be recovered and healed up. that could be who reinforces the AI squads
Loved this video.
Something about saving as many lives as possible and *fortifying* just hits the brain right.
And the final words in the end, that is exactly why I love this setting.
I like how he also thinks of like the future like establishing a new base for local militarily to use.
Man playing as a blood raven with a salamander mindset
All these guardsmen will make excellent “gifts” to the chapter.
This is simply amazing, thanks for your work, brother, but your duty is not over yet.
There are... 7 more games to go through, good luck in Winter Assault.
And may the Emperor bless your crusade.
I have no doubt and in the end the Emperor Protects
Sure, but I don't know how viable Dark Crusade and Soulstorm would actually be in this format. The Strongholds missions are interesting, but everything else is just annihilation battles against the AI on generic multiplayer maps.
@@bilbobagend8155that's kinda what makes it the most interesting ones to do, the fact they are so free-form makes a deathless run incredibly difficult, let alone for each race
Saving the guard is what I always tried to do, and your infiltration playthrough is identical to my own!
In the mission "Destroy the Xenos," when it came down to fighting the Squiggoth and the remaining Orks, I used a combination of infiltrated scouts, whirlwinds, and dreadnoughts to wipe them out. Slow, tedious, yet safe, so long as you keep your scouts safe and out of the blast zone. Can't kill what they never saw coming, am I right?
I thought it was over after the HL videos. Yet here you are with another fresh challenge that is both unique and right up my alley.
Thatnk you again for all the work you put into this
Very fun video! appreciated the narrative focus and additions, especially the last bit at the end going over extra lore in DOW2, the scrutiny is extra appreciated, and kinda takes me back to being a kid and making my own story through arbitrary goals I give meaning, which makes it special. TBH, its kinda inspiring me to do some playthroughs with such intent on my own. Thanks for the video!
Cheers! Yeah I love adding in and bringing all this information together, to give the most comprehensive understanding of what happened. Which yeah 😁 considering Dawn Of War just throws you in the middle with 0 context, I think it was great piecing together the backstory leading up to the campaign. And I hope you go on to save many boys in your own play through's!
"Hey Sindri, what fruit do you want from the Fruit Market?"

@@addison_v_ertisement1678 thanks for fixing it.
you missed te fact that humanity is also comically evil, every faction is, that's the whole point.
I cant believe you turned one of my favorite RTS games into such a beautiful video, especially that part at the end. I have weirdos on twitter always shit talking my love for the emperor, but it is truly remarkable to give everything you have and to know that tomorrow and everyday after will suck, but maybe those five minutes you bought your friends will eventually culminate into a future worth dying for.
Great work man! Truly impressive from the beginning to the end. The final segment was brilliant. Good job.
Normally I don’t comment on a lot of videos but I really like your content dude! You’re extremely underrated and the editing you put into these videos are top notch!
You've got an excellent attitude regarding the setting! While there's always an eternal conflict, that doesn't mean that heroic and preservative actions don't have any impact. If anything it makes them even more impactful. Every civilian saved will go on to produce more for the Imperium, every Guardsman and Space Marine will go on to tip the scales in other conflicts, creating a domino effect of benefits. Interested in seeing if you'll do Dark Crusade, where base-building is persistent on maps, making all that fortification a good preparation for foiling counter-attacks.
Your love to save as many of your men in every video u make is really respectable and i cant wait to see more videos like it
This was my first video on your channel and yes I’m making this a personal comment. The intro was too awesome for words. I’ve seen another TH-cam short for saving those scientists but I need to say that these intros are definitely unique. Don’t stop what you’re doing because it is top content.
This man is a true salamander in keep saving civilians and brothers my brother in green
Got it installed since release, never left my drive. Awesome game
Eager to see a Winter Assault video next. Always a pleasure to see a fan who can see what the 40k franchise is truly about, absolutely fantastic stuff!
I absolutely love this video from the editing style to the intro and narrative it is truly great
absolutely love your content man, keep it up :)
ill be honest when i saw this uploaded i didnt really know warhammer 40k that much, i liked what i knew but didnt really take part, but on my 18th birthday a few days ago, my dad got me a warhammer starter kit, and i loved building the minis, it was really nice and fun, i didnt really understand why and i still dont really understand but i love it anyway, and me and my dad even started playing dawn of war II, we just beat the Chaos dlc just like half an hour ago, and i found it really fun, then i found this video again and watched it knowing a lot more about warhammer then i did before
and i gotta say its a great video, it must be hard to try to save every Person and make sure the place is safe for them but man i respect it! gotta say the Half-life ones is where i found ur channel and i loved those videos!! keep up the good work man!!
I'm so glad you've had a genuine blast with these videos, and that I've been able to introduce something like this to new people. Ahaha happy birthday man, I hope you had a good one with your old man 😄
I've got plenty more stuff I want to make and show that I know you boys will love, but yeah in the meantime have a good one with the starter kit! Painting them is the challenging but fun part
Just stumbled upon your videos thanks to the algorithm. Two videos in and I am absolutely loving your style of storytelling. Keep up the good work!
My first time watching your videos and I've fallen in love your bits of comedy and story telling is incredible, need more of this please 🙏
Losing 60 marines in a battle isnt at all uncommon. On Taros the Tau killed 80ish marines in the span of about a day and a half. This was also with the Tau fighting against marines on the defensive in close quarters urban combat. In an open field like we see in game against other astartes forces losing 60 marines is pretty unsurprising.
Hell yeah man these are awesome! For the Emperor and the Golden Throne!
I love this so much! I had no idea other people played DoW with the same obsessive attention to detail I have. I often get the urge to roleplay in my RTS games, meta be damned, and this really hits that same spot.
This series of saving everyone possible, including being proactive in the protection of others is so cathartic to me, a positive impact, even in violent worlds and universes. If I feel sad, I watch these videos, because I know that you’ll work your damndest to save everyone, and that gives me hope.
Thank you for these videos, and I hope I get to see more soon.
banging video, luv me emperor, luv me cadia, luv me regiment
I find the story here to be the best part. Trying to fortify the planet and save everyone on it before the warpstorm devours it all was just amazing.
Shame you won't be able to do it for Winter Assault, it's literally impossible to keep everyone alive there even outside the cutscenes.
I myself really only focus on preserving squads over individual soldiers, it's easier to reinforce a squad rather than retrain and re-equip a brand new one. Though I try to keep my allies alive, even saving the Eldar on my first ever run and using my infantry to act as an unbreakable wall of hate and missiles against the Chaos forces.
Au contraire mon ami, check his vid on winter assault
@Echoe-14 Implying I haven't already done that when it was released. Check the video and you'll find my comment there as well.
@@inductivegrunt94 Ah, sorry
I come back to this video every month for the intro cause you did such an amazing job with it

You use actual space marine tactics. It is like reading a Warhammer 40k novel!
Saving every rebel and civilian life in half life 2 would be epic!
I have good news for you
Dawn of War is one of my favorite games and it is also how i discovered the warhammer universe. Your video is made with a lot of effort and so much love to the game, to the universe and to the Emperor it is so satisfying to watch. And it is surprisingly pleasant to see people in comments saying "i was never familiar with warhammer and now i cannot wait to see more", this reminds of same feeling in good old days when i first played this game
Absolutely, I honestly couldn't agree more man, this was a real love letter to Dawn of War and 40k and yeah all the comments saying that something else
This was a treat to watch, and the story you told was an interesting listen. Now you just have to do every other game and every other faction.
Vulkan is smiling down upon you brother Salamander!!
bro is a salamander main
You are amazing! I thought I was the only one crazy enough to try those "secondary" missions! Wish you the best!
I really enjoyed this. It brought me so much nostalgia. I'm redownloading again to save those 2 guardsmen. I hope you do the entire series of games.
Rogal Dorn and the Salamander would be proud of you Brother
Unfathomably based and Loyalist pilled
Top tier video brother. The Emperor would be proud of the efforts you have shown this day.
This is quite the incredible video and omg I love your intros soo much
He played as Salamanders
For the Emperor and For the Greater good , SaintJam!
Absolutely love your videos.
Honestly , your videos are absolutely fantastic. And this video in particular does give me some hope for the Imperium,that maybe ,just maybe , one day , they can be the force of good that you do your best to make a reality. Keep up the good work.
The Tau Empire supports this message and this video.
Criminally underviewedplease keep doing this for the Warhammer series, the concept itself goes against the ideas of Warhammer, im glad someone is doing this challenge in this universe, in such a incredible video.
Why is the intro edited together so well, legitimately gave me some chills while making me terrifically interested in this video.
great video! i really enjoyed how you were managing to save every guardsman possible
though i gotta say that that was an extremely rosy description of the struggle in 40k. i agree with the real message that a better future is worth fighting for but the grim darkness of the far future is truly literally doomed
Not as doomed as fantasy lol. And that was slightly less grimdark that 40k.
The only ones who benefit from accepting defeat and failure as "inevitable" are the ones you are fighting. Guard your mind from doubt as you would a fortress from saboteurs.
You're right.
"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 dark 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."
The people in this comment section and the creator are completely misunderstanding the setting. Hell, the video starts with him saying "humanity good, alien bad." People who genuinely believe that's what 40K is about are morons, and are perpetuating the pretty-problematic notion that the Imperium is somehow the "good guys" of the setting.
@@brynnyon7293 the term "problematic" used unironically, opinion disregarded.
In this cannon the Blood Ravens are Salamander successors
The thing about the Imperium, perhaps what truly humanizes them, is that it _does_ care about its civilians and even its soldiers and takes action to save both even at great difficulty. It just also is very pragmatic and so, if it knows it can't save people without putting even more at risk, it will let them go.
One thing to remember too, just because a Space Marine was felled, doesn't mean they died, but were taken out of the fight for a tie. Meaning they may not be dead-dead, but gravely injured, some of them may be healed, augmented, parts replace, whole others if they are so badly wounded in turn can be put into a Drednaught, and they would suvive. Sadly, the scouts are as good as dead, since as I remember, Scouts are basically not full Marines with the extra organs and upgrades, yet, but full blown Marines are made of tougher stuff both in armor and fortitude.
What really got me into 40k, I suppose, is every marine, IG, or cultist has something they believe in and are willing to lay down their lives for it. So much purpose so much emotion. As a wage slave I don't have that fire. My dreams died a long time ago. So I latch on these fictional stories of heroes I can never be. What I'd give to die for Sanguinius at the Eternity Gate.
Saving every marine in halo CE
The final speech you did got me good in the feels, it was like warm hug in the middle of a storm.
Even tho i have no clue about warhammer lore, so probably most of the inside jokes etc. go way over my head; This video is still greatly enjoyable, so, keep doing the good work man, nice going!
