The ball dialogue
"...no escape. I have failed brother."
'We have all failed. The Astartes deny our touch. You must return, break your seal."
"Impossible, (I) will never survive."
"You must! Take them!"
And if you listen carefully, you can also hear the Inquisitor say, "Recall them immediately!"

In terms of other 40K content that is easy for a new person to react to:
Warhammer 40,000: An intro to the Dark Millennium (video covering the opening blurb of 40k's books, gives a concise overview of what the setting is about)
Warhammer 40,000: Cinematic Trailer - 2020 (launch trailer for the 9th edition of the table top game)
Warhammer 40,000: The New Edition Cinematic Trailer (Launch trailer for the 10th edition of the TTG)
Warhammer: The Horus Heresy Cinematic Trailer (Launch trailer for the 40k prequel period set 10,000 years before)
Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team Cinematic Trailer (launch trailer for the 40k spin off game)
Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 Trailer reveal (reveal trailer for the upcoming Space Marine 2 game)
TIMELINE of the 40k UNIVERSE by Trazyn the Infinite (Great run down of the history of the universe in 40k)
WHAT IS WARHAMMER? A guide for newcomers. (Quick rundown of what Warhammer is outside of the setting itself, talking about it starting out as a table top game in the 80s etc.)
A lot of people will tell you to watch stuff like Bricky's Faction Explained videos but I wouldn't start there because he dumps a ton of stuff on you, not all of which is accurate or relevant while leaving a bunch of stuff out plus it takes like 2 hours to watch.
There are a ton more to watch from other creators but keep in mind that its a setting built up over 40 years and a lot of people bring their own biases and misconceptions into their retelling of events so unless its from the official channels you shouldn't take someones word as gospel. And even then the official lore has been around for so long that you can get completely contradictory stuff from one period to another so even the official videos aren't set in stone forever.
PERFECT. Thank you!
@@AvanteReacts there's also 2 vids, from a guy called Bricky, that goes through all the factions, in WH40K...
In Warhammer 40k, there is essentially magic, which draws from the power of the warp, wherein lay warp entities - very often literal demons - that prey on the energy of "psykers" who can tap into the warp.
This is a story of rebellion spawned by one of those warp entities that had managed to manifest in the material plane hidden in some kind of sphere (the sphere bit, and the specific kind of warp creature being custom "homebrew" creations of Syama Pedersen, along with the "Retributor" chapter of the Space Marines, and prior to this not part of the WH40k canon). The rebellion was snuffed and the warp entity tried to flee with its loyal followers but was pursued and caught by the Retributor Astartes.
While boarding the ship, the Space Marines encounter a pair of powerful psykers. While AFAIK it wasn't explicitly stated, I believe they are likely augmented humans, possibly captured and converted Space Marines, or else given a somewhat similar treatment, including the installation of those golden masks and spine pieces that grant them what appears to be telekinetic-like warp powers. While these particular incarnations with their masks and all are unique homebrew items created for the piece by Syama Pedersen, they are in effect relatively "generic" "Psykers". At one point we see indications that it is very cold in the vault they head into, with ice cracking underfoot and steam coming from their suit packs: unusual or extreme cold goes hand-in-hand with the warp. At one point, the Marines pass a giant statue in the form of a human made from the same material as the masks, intended most likely to serve as a host avatar for the warp entity. In the background we see many more of the masks and spine pieces used to create the two psykers. More than just the two could have been a serious threat.
At some point the Imperium of Man had managed to capture and imprison another one of these spheres, chaining it up and surrounding it with "melta bombs", a high explosive collar basically. An Imperial Inquisitor is seen with a helmet on that connects him to a type of thinking machine called a "cogitator", acting perhaps as a kind of psychic firewall and logging device, that is connected to the sphere, which, after the Space Marines plug in their remote devices, puts the two spheres in contact with each other, and allows the Inquisitor to listen in while a Veteran Sergeant and a Veteran Apothecary of the Retributor chapter observe: others have described that conversation.
The Inquisitor gets wind of what is coming, and takes a moment to tell the Captain to "Recall them immediately!" Unfortunately, this lapse in his concentration is enough to allow the "demon" in the sphere to blast thru the cogitator and begin possessing the Inquisitor, who themselves is a powerful psyker, and could turn into either a horrific demon themselves, or become a gateway to the warp for other entities to cross through from. Seeing this happen the Astartes Veteran Captain immediately serves the Inquisitor a ceramite fist sandwich for his final meal (better than being possessed, which involves your immortal soul having awful things done to it by eldritch horrors) and the Veteran Sergeant making sure the deed is done by pumping a couple of rocket-propelled 30mm high-explosive rounds into the body. Before he dies, however, the Inquisitor psyker, sensing his end, sends all his life/psychic energy in a single blast into the void to the other warp entity that had captured our friendly neighborhood Space Marines, killing it, and freeing the Marines from its grasp.
With a flash, our main character is transported... elsewhere. Exposure-to or travel through the warp can make even the strongest Space Marine violently ill, and this one coughs up quite a lot of blood with it as is material form is wrenched through realities, and thanks to his extreme genetic engineering, the blood begins to clot almost instantaneously. No, this wasn't the one place his animation is bad, it looks that way for a reason.
The beads indicate how long a space marine has served. Each gold bead is 100 years and each silver bead is 50 I believe
The Bolter, the gun the Space Marines use, is best described as the "Bastard Child of an M16 and RGP Launcher". It fires Red Bull can-sized self-propelled armor-piercing rockets that penetrate and then explode. That's why all the little dudes were exploding. 1 shot and you're paint.
The guy who we see the upper half fall with his guts out. That guy took a shot in the ass for sure. This means the Super Soldier who shot him took the time and effort to aim below the belt.
Part 1 - Preparation
Part 2 - Flight and boarding
Part 3 - Breaking through to the vault
Part 4 - Battle with psykers
Part 5 - all of the rest
the beads are like a rosemary, and you also noticed the incense being burned in the 1st part, blessing his weapon, and with the hooded guy, basically praying - which is also what all those strips of paper were hanging from the ceiling in the corridor leading to the captured sphere
If you want to learn more about lore, I'd recommend reacting to both parts of Bricky's Every Warhammer 40K Faction Explained. Those are great for a beginner journey to 40K
Stop suggesting bricky, he is barely average when compared to baldemort or vox in the void, and there are better and shorter lore videos out there, like tempelin institute has.
@@randomdude8202 I wouldn't call Baldemort beginner friendly, it is better to watch him when you already have a basis in WH, which Bricky is perfect for
@@randomdude8202 So no, I won't stop suggesting Bricky
@@Eldar_Farseer zero mention of others? And these are not even the only ones. If you call bricky beginner friendly, you have no idea what beginner friendly is. A lot of stuff he says are just meme rather than lore. Tell me, how do you understand a meme without any knowledge on lore? This is like recommending reddit meme page to a person who wants to watch game of thrones. Not to mention bricky videos ridiculously long, making people run away. So tell me, are you trying to make people bail out? Or bricky pays you people?
I’d say Bricky is good if you want more of the comedy side of things with some surface level explanations. LEUTIN09 is probably the best/most entertaining lore expert in the community, as he reads a ton of the books as well for his videos. Arbiter Ian (sp?) is also great if you want to know more about 30k and the Horus Heresy (kinda the prequel lore of 40k and primarily about space marine/imperium stuff)
At the end when you see the marine where the giants are, you see little flashes on other plateaus. Those are the other marines arriving. The spheres are sealed warp entities. The warp is the immaterial plane. Once it broke it's seal and took the marines to the warp, a stronger warp creature killed it causing the release of the space marines. The guy in robes was an inquisitor psyker. He could tap the warp to use it for magic like or psychic powers. He was eavesdropping eavesdropping on the conversation between the 2 orbs. Once he warned the captain that his team was in danger it exposed him to being possessed. He was killed because a psyker possessed becomes a gateway for demons to pass from the warp to real space.
I thought it was more like the psychic backlash from the inquisitor dying during possession that stopped the warp entity.
@averageman4208 it's possible, but it did say it wouldn't survive breaking it's seal.
Fun fact, starcraft was originally going to be a warhammer 40k game, not sure what happened but I think games workshop pulled out or something.
That is why there are so many similarities, the marines were meant to be the human empire, the protos were meant to be the Eldar, and the zerg were meant to be the tyranids.
That is a myth that persists to this day but is only extremely loosely based on what happened. The original Warcraft was meant to be a Warhammer Fantasy game but Blizzard and GW could not agree on the rights so they parted ways and Blizzard made up their own lore like a bunch of their developers wanted them to do rather than be beholden to GW who would have called the shots if they persisted with the Warhammer lore. Starcraft was Blizzards own attempt to do a sci-fi RTS game again using their own lore. Some of the principle designers were 40K fans but GW was never involved in it, they never tried to get them involved either. The similarities are superficial and the ones that do line up only do so because there are only so many ways you can do an insectoid race or elves in space.
@@KnightYellow thank you for corrections on this, I was a bit blurry on the actual details so was going off what I could recall hearing
Hi there Avante
Here's a bit of basic background / lore on WH-40K, and this video.
The Adeptus Astartes (Space Marines) have been tracking a renegade faction of
humans and psykers who have obtained x2 mysterious spheres of xenos (alien) origin.
The Astartes board the enemy ship via boarding torpedo, and proceeded to eliminate
the renegade factions and try to determine what these spheres are, and if they
pose any threat to the Imperium.
Once the human and psykers are dealt with, they use a Imperial sanctioned psyker
to try and commune with these spheres.
However it appears that intelligence within the spheres are vastly old
and immensely powerfull.
These spheres then seem to infect/overpower the human psyker, so the Astartes
brutally eliminate the human psyker as a precaution.
The Space marines then decide to destroy the spheres, but during that task, the
spheres react and in self defence disable most of the Space marine squad.
However one of the Astartes is transported to another time / place.
Showing these mysterious giants on their thrones.
End.
You are correct, that the creator of this video made this as a fan project.
This was not part of the main WH-40K lore at all.
However due to the massive popularity of this project, Games Workshop decided to
off the guy a job working for them.
Afterwards his fan created chapter of Space marines were given official status.
Key / Legend
Terra = Earth
Imperium = Human / Terran Empire.
Psykers = Creatures with psychic powers.
Inquisition = Humanities secret police (Immensely powerful).
Xenos = Alien / non-human.
Adeptus Astartes = Space Marines are genetically engineered super soldiers who are
7ft tall, and have x2 hearts, x3 lungs and a number of other enhancements to make
them massivley powerful warriors.
They are clad in Ceramite power armour and have the best weapons that Humanity
have to offer.
The studs on the Astartes skull are - service studs and they represent a block of
time that the space marine have been operational. These studs usually denote
10/50/100 years (depending on the chapter of Astartes, and the design of the stud
itself).
Chapter = The Adeptus Astartes are divided into self contained armies of
approx 1,000 warriors called "Chapters".
Warp = Alternative reality where psykers draw their abilities from.
However the warp is also home to powerful entities called daemons who try
and break into real-space to cause havoc and destruction.
To make things even more interesting - Humanity use the Warp, to travel FTL
between different star systems. This is a very dangerous operation (due to the
creatures that inhabit the Warp, and the warp storms that assail the ships which
travel via this method.
However it's the only practical way humans have been able to maintain their
Empire.
Hope this helps clear a few things up.
I would highly recommend a Arbitor Ian @ArbitorIan,
who has encyclopedic knowledge of the WH-40K universe.
He has an excellent TH-cam channel that describes most factions
in the universe in an easy to understand and engaging way.
"It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries The God-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 demon-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 live 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."
That was the intro blurb to the Warhammer 40k universe, basically the first thing you read when opening a Warhammer 40k book and is a pretty good summary of the setting. Alot of people are going to recommend videos by a content creator called Bricky - I would actually avoid him for now. He makes good videos, but they are definitely aimed at people who are already familiar with the Warhammer 40k setting. The two videos I would actually recommend are by a content creator called "Arbitor Ian":
"WHAT IS WARHAMMER? A guide for newcomers" - more focused on the tabletop war-gaming side of things, however it is important to note that Warhammer 40k is a first and foremost a tabletop wargame, and while it has branched out into many different forms of media it always helps to understand the roots.
"WARHAMMER 40k TIMELINE IN 20 MINS! From the 21st Century to the 41st Millenium - 40k Archives" - this is a summary of the timeline of the Warhammer 40k universe. It also serves as a really good intro into the lore.
HEHEHEHEHEH another soul joins the Warhammer 40k army. May the GOD EMPEROR OF MANKIND KEEP YOU IN HIS LIGHT.
holy moley. a reactor read the intro in the video.
I assume its been mentioned but the "Gold Ball" is a censor for incense.
I’d say Bricky is good if you want more of the comedy side of things with some surface level explanations. LEUTIN09 is probably the best/most entertaining lore expert in the community, as he reads a ton of the books as well for his videos. Arbiter Ian (sp?) is also great if you want to know more about 30k and the Horus Heresy (kinda the prequel lore of 40k and primarily about space marine/imperium stuff)
Thats not how you say it no.
the things on his head the 3 dots the silver is 100 years and the bronze is 50 years
