No fucking idea how he managed, I can't even make a single 3d model without burning out, not having enough time cuz of work or just plain old getting distracted and this guy goes and just...MAKES all of this. It'd be disheartening if it wasn't so inspiring XD
@@MrCrazyLeprechaun Hey man, those parts which were barely over a minute legit took him over six months to make. So don't feel bad! He's a very talented and experienced VFX Artist from New Zealand who just got tired of seeing his favorite franchise misrepresented in the past. This is the most accurate representation of Astartes ever made. Completely fits with their description in the lore. It's beautiful :')
@@ShadowNetWeaver1 and it's not just the modeling thats really top-tier. It's all around great, from shot composition, to storyboarding, the camera control, interior designs, sound ... it's mindblowing if you really think about all the work that went into this.
@@XraynPR Oh for sure! He's got more on the way. I subscribed to his patreon and he updated us with a short couple of clips of different episodes he's doing and HOLY SHIZ am I hyped lol
My dad, a non fan, watching them killing the inquisitor, “That was a little overkill.” Me: nah, totally appropriate, in fact they probably burned him afterward.
And that's after both marines dumped full bolter magazines into his body after the camera cut away. Overkill = saving the ship from total destruction if a daemon spawns.
The Astartes project is based off of the Warhammer: 40,000 (or 40k for short) universe. The Astartes (or Space Marines) are bio-engineered super warriors that serve and protect The Imperium of Man, a vast galaxy spanning human empire 40,000 years in the future. In this video, the astartes of this specific faction were hunting down the leaders of a rebellion against the Imperium. What they found was that the rebels were under the control of an unknown, psychic alien species (the spheres). The guy in the red coat was something called a psyker, a powerful psychic individual who was able to listen in on the telepathic conversations of the spheres. The red coat with the skull in the middle of the capitol "I" meant that he was also a member of the God-Emperor's Holy Inquisition, the most powerful organization within the Imperium. He became possessed when he lost focus to warn the Astartes about what he had heard. In case you're wondering what the spheres said to each other, here it is: Sphere 1: "Brother, I have failed." Sphere 2: "We have all failed." Sphere 1: "The Astartes deny our touch." Sphere 2: "You must return, break your seal" Sphere 1: "Impossible! We will never survive" Sphere 2: "You must. Take them!" The Warhammer 40k universe is VAST and deep with practically mountains of lore. It is arguably the greatest sci-fi universe ever created. You guys will not be disappointed in learning more about it. Welcome to the rabbit hole, brothers.
Only thing to ad is the psiker is not only from the Inquisition, he is actually an Inquisitor. Also the cultist where not possessed or hipnotize, they are from the Cabal. They are filthy heretic that where there willingly, and they got what they deserved.
@@ManuelRodriguez-by5su Indeed, I know friend. I'm just speaking in baby steps for our boys, because this is the first time they've ever seen anything related to Warhammer, and I just wanted to give them as much info as needed in order for them to dive in themselves

Agreed. So much fun watching people react to these fan made vids which is only a taste of what WH40K has to offer. The rabbit hole is deep. Fun to watch folks get their first taste of it.
The big spheres were basically giant malicious artificial intelligences. “Dreadlock dude” was an inquisitor who was listening in on the conversation between the chained up one and the one on the other ship. The spheres caught wind of his eavesdropping and essentially trapped him in demonic possession through the cables when his concentration was broken. The troopers blasting his brains out as soon as this became evident was not only a mercy, but a necessity because he could have done a LOT of damage.
@@catdix_shorts9596 Well there are some AIs in 40k but they always end up with the conclusion of ending all life due to the existence of the immaterium. Most likely they were Yu'vath.
@@catdix_shorts9596 Sure there are. What do you think the men of iron were. There are none allowed in the Imperium in 40000, but there were powerful AIs during the dark age of technology. I think the idea is that the people on that ship found one, and were taking it back to Mars, and got brain jacked by it, so the Space Marines were sent in to neutralize it.
Fun fact: If you listen closely right after the Inquisitor is done listening to the linked orb things, before he gets possessed (12:01 - more audible in the original), he yells "Recall the Astartes!!" in his mask through his vox-caster to the higher-ranking space marine next to him, and that's when the space marine signals to the lower ranking one to run and go tell them to retreat. When it next cuts back to the Astartes on the enemy ship, the main one we follow through the story turns his head as they tell him to retreat, but it's too late as the orb begins sucking them in seconds later.
"What is that - is that even blood?" Yeah, it's blood, but the reason it looks weird is because of one of the Astartes' genetic modifications - that their blood clots extremely fast. Good to stop blood loss and heal quickly, but it means when their blood spills or they cough it up, it looks weird because it's already starting to clot at that point. Also makes it crazy that the creator paid that much attention to detail, because it's a thing you wouldn't expect to see in an animation project like this, either because the creator didn't know or forgot or because it's that much more effort they have to put in compared to just a simple blood splatter.
The Astartes use rocket propelled bullets that explode on impact, are the size of soda bottles, and are each blessed by a holy priest before battle. And that’s just the standard, a lot of their enemies won’t even be phased by that.
“Imagine running with all that weight” finally someone mentioned it. Those Space Marines stand at roughly 7ft tall and with the armor they weight 2,000lbs. And despite that, their speed is insane. 35-45mph running at a full sprint. As quoted in the lore itself “Something that large shouldn’t move that fast.”
"star wars for real" "destiny" "iron man suit" "there is LITTLE PEOPLE inside the suits" the inquisition would like to know your location........ heresy
@@abjectlyterrible I know right. Don't you just love when something you've been a fan of for two decades and taken the time to learn all the little bits of lore that've been put out over those years, including the novels and audio works, only for it to be compared to ? I mean I love Star Wars original trio and some of the EU and Legends stuff, but right now it's a joke, and very much being milked to death by Disney. The others...meh honestly take em or leave em. Also I'd say these guys are more an example of "I learned of it from a video game, but never go any further than that" sort and boy do I get depressed by those sorts.

you don't even know you can make games like this animation with free to 30$ assets on game engines. What it takes is only time and level of detail. Everyone can make anything at this point the difference is the manpower to make it quicker.
@@beastmasterbg I'm gonna just say it... Not everyone can do something like this, Theres a reason he got hired on the spot by Workshop. The VFX, the Sound design, the Cinematography, Modelling, Texturing, Animation are all 10/10 One man armies aren't common and thats because it takes a Humongous amount of effort to produce a skill to teach yourself that many disciplines
@@tinman96 The main comment from Otis is doing exactly that and I don't disagree with him Beastybois comments "Everyone can make anything at this point...." and the "you can make games like this animation with free to 30$ assets on game engines" Maybe because I am acutely aware of how much effort and hundreds of hours that went into this project, But this is like telling a Professional digital artist you can create works like his with free assets and photoshop. Imagine spending hundreds of hours making something like that and thousand of hours practicing prior to that just to have Beasty comment "you can make games like this animation with free to 30$ assets on game engines"
@@puppy3908 I think the intent was clear even if the language was not. I don't think he's trying to belittle the people that make things like this, we all have an idea of how unbelievably difficult and time consuming this project was. Replace "everyone" with "anyone". And he's not wrong, you *can* make an animation like this for little to nothing. It is just a monumental task
I would say that .75 cal seems actually kinda small for a space marine but judging by the fact that every round has essentially a thruster as the propellant, it’s automatic, and we literally see them holding it down to stop the recoil, the recoil must absolutely insane.
@@ganjabandit5074 the recoil IS absolutely insane. It is stated that if a regular human soldier were to fire a Bolter, the recoil would either: 1. Best case scenario, dislocate the arm. 2. Worst case scenario, tear the arm off entirely.
So going off the weapons: The astartes use a .75 calibre, dimantium tipped, rocket propelled, fragmentation round. Also known as the bolt rounds. Simple way of explaining it, after being fired, the shell will ignite the mini thruster in it and speed into the target, on hitting the enemy’s armour or hide or body, the dimantium tip will penetrate it and arm the explosive charge inside. Second later as the rounds is deep in the target it will detonate and either blow out/off part of the targets body or send shrapnel deep into its organs causing severe trauma. As for the ambusher, he is using an autocannon. So anywhere from 20mm-40mm. These are normally crew served weapons, with a 2 man team. However one can theoretically use one as a single man team.
"This could turn to a big-ass universe" Say hello to legions of Warhammer nerds introducing you to it all. Eight trillion cubic lightyears' and ten thousand years' worth.
Oh yeah, fun fact for these fella in case they see this: Those Astartes (the space marines in the big ass armor) are around 8 feet tall, just putting that out there- Edit: Also that "ship" the Astartes got into? Yeah that's not a "ship", it's a full on boarding missile. So instead of just pulling their ship right up next to the other guy's they just launch a missile right through the side of your ship. And the ammo they use for their guns isn't bullets, those are goddamn mini rockets that have the same power as an average RPG
4:30 actually, considering the warhammer 40k universe has been around since, ahm, can’t quite remember, either the 70s or 80s, it would actually be better to say that the cabal look like space marines.
Damn, Tony Montana really picked up the needles in the haystack in some of those perceptions. Warhammer is probably the one with the deepest universe filled with lore in every faction and every branch within them, the world, so forth. The universe is in a wartorn turmoil, nobody is the good, every faction fights for themselves, some even betray their own, there is no mercy. Most importantly, this video was made by one guy, it's wild talent.
Ok just an explanation is in order. So the main group of five we follow are called Astartes. They are like an order of Sci-fi knights. They are literal super soldiers that make Spartans look like a wet paper bag. They are trying to recover an Alien (or Xenos) artifact from a rebellion. As for what happened in the latter half. So the guys who had the weird masks where psykers. Think of them like planet destroying Sci-fi Wizards. Other important details, the guy in the cloak was apart of this universes secret service, those are called the inquisition. The Inquisition are the ones who gave the Astartes the mission.The reason he got his cranium splattered was because he got possessed by what ever was in that orb. It is really hard to kill them when it happens, so they get them early. Last bit the 5 Main Atartes aren't in the orb they where teleported through the warp (don't ask) to an unknown location. Oh yea and this all takes place in the grim dark future of Warhammer. The actual illustration of the "In Soviet Russia" meme
Guys... that intro made me turn down my volume from 90% to 10% only to turn it back up to 50% once your started talking :P, might wanna fix the audio volume a bit.
Great reaction, this was a fun watch. For having no idea about the universe beforehand you guys picked up most everything really quick. My favorite part about this whole video is that not only was the action cool, they told a story WITH the action. Just super dope all around.
Gets under your skin doesn't it? So here's a similar issue I face as someone who likes to draw (many things usually with a military theme to it); I'll try and come up with a concept image for a soldier from a fantasy setting with heavy napoleonic era themes. Will borrow a few ideas from various real life uniforms and equipment of that historical era mixed with a few touches of my own in an attempt to be creative. Type up at least a paragraph worth of setting details to go with it when I post the finished piece on an art site. Leaves ans comes back to 5 comments. The majority of comments will be "looks like ". I'm like "it clearly isn't and your comment tells me nothing".
So this was made by one guy, on the later clips he did have some minor help from other 3D artists but it was almost entirely him. This video is set in the Warhammer 40k universe, massive massive fantasy with rich history and lore, a battle and war focused galaxy. The attacking group wearing armour in the video are called space marines (also known as Adeptus Astartes, hence the title), who are effectively superhuman soliders serving the imperium of man and the emperor of mankind, the ones wearing white helmets are the squad captains back on their main ship, the guy in robes kneeling with the wires is part of the inquisition and is a psyker, who are like wizards/jedi and have powers, he had the power of telepathy and was hooked up to comminicate with the orb in the room, and the attacking squad were send to connect the two orbs. We don't have any information on who was on the ship that got attacked, but we can assume they're either a servant of chaos or space pirates or traitors. The two big guys with spines coming out were robots who the orb on the ship was controlling (we think). And when they got sucked into the orb, they were sent into a space called "the warp", which is like another dimension and is inhabited by demons and we assume a demon was communicating through the orb (long story of why demons have to do that). The light that attacked the demon to save the astarties people assume was the the emperor (he's an immortal dying coprse on a golden throne, who guides humanity and keeps chaos at bay). So much more detail, but that is the short summary, and yes, that was the SHORT summary :)
@@AlmightyPi All of the space marines have this ability. It’s an ability granted by one of the organs that was implanted into a marine Neophyte during the augmentation process, Omophagea aka the Remembrancer. It’s just the Blood Angel’s geneseed have a special reaction to this organ that would cause it to mutate, which in turn would cause the Blood Angels and their successor chapters’ marines to have cravings for flesh and blood.
Astartes explanation in simple terms: take captain America, put him in the Ironman suit, and give him an assault rifle that fires rocket propelled missiles the size of a 12 gauge shotgun. Space Marines as they are known are like master chief on steroids.
BIG NEWS!!! ASTARTES IS OFFICIAL!!! Games Workshop, the company that owns the Warhammer franchise has hired the creator of the Astartes Project and will be turning this into an actual series!!! It was just announced today. Praise The Emperor!!!
@@f3nixfire Oh, bro, not even 😠 Games Workshop, the company that owns the IP for Warhammer 40k is one of the worst companies out there regarding its treatment of fans. They basically forced him to work for them through legal action (or he could no longer animate warhammer stuff again) and there's just been no word on the status of the series. We in the community are understandably pissed...
@ShadowNetWeaver1 Damn, that's shitty to hear. Ya, I've heard of games workshops shitty practices in the past. Sucks; because they can't see how much more money they could actually make if they only allowed it to flourish.
@@f3nixfire Trust me we know. They had a full crackdown on any and all 40k animators on youtube, DESPITE the fact that the content creators are responsible for bringing in more fans to the franchise than Games Workshop ever was.
So I made this comment on InternetCity - InternetMikey & Aaron's channel and it seemed to help alot of people understand what is going on (for those who might be a bit lost). So hope it helps here (did change some things to update it) So the most basic description that I can give is this: The Space Marines have been tasked with retrieving an alien artifact on the enemy ship, so that they can study/deal with it, as the Space Marines basically hate anything Xeno related On their own ship, they already have one of these alien spheres locked up, under the watch of a religious "monk"(Inquisitor) who is monitoring it to make sure it doesn't cause any havoc and to hopefully realize its purpose. As the Marines eliminate the enemies and approach the orb, they add tech into it that is meant to limit its power, but in that moment it begins to communicate with the sphere on the Space Marines ship. The two entities conversation is heard by the Inquisitor, who realizes that the entity is going to flee, rather than be captured, and take the Space Marine squad with it. He then tells the Space Marine leader that the team needs to get out of there and be extracted NOW! But doing so causes his focus to waver and he is taken control of by the second entity and thus must be killed by the leader before he is turned or causes untold havoc on the ship. The team leader gets the message but it is too late and he and his team are taken by the entity to a separate dimension. However (there are a couple of things that might have happened) the Inquisitor was able to help with his dying breath and sent out a psychic wave that frees them from the creatures tendrils. Or a warp creature sees the entity and decided to attack it, inadvertently freeing the Space Marines. But even though they are free, they are all still teleported to an unknown world with giant skeleton statues/beings and now must figure out where they are at. All of this is an incredibly basic explanation, and I am sure I got some of this wrong, but there are more detailed videos on TH-cam of people going over what exactly transpired and give more in-depth description about the Space Marines and the enemies they fight. Just wanted to help give a basic rundown for yah. Also the question of "are they the good guys" is.........complicated. But it is worth getting into it is one of my all time favorite universes! Hope this helps!
Idk if it's worth getting into lmfao it's A LOT to catch up on and the fan base is garbage but yea it's good lore. Also I think they got transported to earth. I believe that place is supposed to be Mariana's trench. You had a really good rundown tho bro you didn't really miss anything
Oh and the 2 force guys were conjoined hence the opposite arms and why the 2nd guy couldn't stop himself from getting killed because he was busy shielding the other one that good his arm blasted off. Also why there was a blast once one got killed (sibling bond)
@@gambeano Do you know what race those guys are? I didn't recognize any of the markings or their masks. I assumed the soldiers were heretics of a sort, traitor Imperium of Man serving those force guys. But they seemed like they were much more Xeno like in design, possibly T'au ish or maybe some sort of techno hybrid?
Perfect explanation, and to clarify the part you were not sure... It is a warp entity, that's the reason the xeno tries to take the marines as bait with him and the reason he also tells the other xeno "take them" when this one told him "we won't survive" meaning traveling in the warp. It seems these xenos raze is, which is from the Cabal (if you know that lore, it is mostly 30k) is very warp sensitive, so they live inside this balls for protection. The second they tried to get out and escape through the warp, demons where like "oh shit look, a meal" Lmao.
The one guy that made this was hired by the company that owns warhammer 40k because Astartes was a thousand times better than what they were working on.
I love the little detail in the beginning where the space marines are sitting on their landing craft and one of them is blessing his weapon with consecrated beads. Really gives you a cool foreshadowing that they aren't just facing a normal mortal enemy on that ship.
Watch the animations done by SODAZ, he's an absolute legend with his animations and has some of the best interpretations of the universe. He just released a new 7-minute animation (but you should watch all of them), I guarantee you will enjoy them!
It was really cool to see how you guys interpreted the story pretty accurately, especially catching the psychic link between the orbs on the two ships and the Psyker. You really could not have a better introduction to the world of 40k!
@@mishiko7211 Oh, I'm not 100% sure either. Nice to know you watch Corridor Crew too. As far as I remember they said that they would prefer to do work like this on redshift. Like I said I am not 100% sure since it's been a while since I watched that video.
Quick explanation like super short. Big fuckers go to board ship to link one ball with the already captured ball. During board they fight and end up at the ball. Once they link, that priest looking dude was trying to I think understand it or control it. Once he heard it say that it was going to consume the people so they should return basically, he came out of the trance, told drippy cape dude “extract them immediately” it was muffled. This was happening at the same time they were with the orb. Before they get magnetized to the orb, he got the message to retreat but it was too late. They were saved because priest destroyed the link before they were consumed, hence the black could that ate the ball when they were tethered with those tentacles. But they were still teleported to another dimension. You can see his other comrades spawn in on the other pillars. That dimension is what the priest saw in his link before he got vibe Checked by drippy cape guy and his associate.

For some context: A Bolter shoots a round the size of half your fist, and it explodes upon contact with whatever it hits. That’s why it was doing that.
the "Astartes" comes from the "Adeptus Astartes" wich is the name of the organisation, but they are more commonly called Space Marines. Space Marines are the elite Warriors of the Imperium of Man, a Galactic Empire (who's a Theocratic Totalitarian Feudal Confederacy of sorts) who spans the whole Milky Way galaxy (our galaxy) in the far future of the 41st Millenium. thats why its called Warhammer 40.000. SPace MArines are geneticaly modified Super Soldiers, we're talking 2 hearts, 3 lungs, can have half of their brain asleep and stay active up to 72 hours straigth, can even survive in the void of space and recover from the grieviest wounds or if needed have the missing parts replaced by new organs or bionics. Space marines has 19 different organs implanted in them throuhg their years of training from been aspirants to full fledged battle brothers. One of this implant called the Black carapce is set under their skin and has connection ports, that allow them to be neurally linked to their Power armors and thus move in it as if they where wearing nothing. Power armors like in most cases are powerfull tools of protection but also support and destruction. It can enhance the allready Super Human levels of physical strengths a Space MArines enjoys, its void sealed, can be breached only by the heaviest weaponry or anti tank weaponry, and even tho its weight over 150 kg, the immense strenght of the Space MArines with the servos of the armor and the neural link they have, makes it natural for them to wear it. The Space Marines favorite piece of weaponry is the Bolter. This weapon is the unholy marriage of an assault rifle and a rocket launcher. Bolts ( the ammo) are red bull cans sized ammunition, that are self proppeled like a rocket, penetrates the target AND THEN EXPLODES, once inside, transforming anything organkic in a thin red gooy mist... And thats their standard isse weaponry, like m4a1's are standar in the contemporary Marines... But all of this is not nearly as fucking insane as ALL the rest of the Setting... you guys should watch brecky's "40k factions explained" 2 parts vids, and also the Templin institute videos about the Imperium, the Astra Millitarium, Cadia, the Orks, the Tyranids, the Space Marines. And some fo Leutin 96 40k is one of the most insane setting, where everything is out to kill eat or rape you, and not in that particular order, where Technology is viewed as religion and magic, where you have Psychic Powers that would make Sith Lords jeally as fuck or piss their pants, and Daemons... Cause yeah in the far future of 40k there is LITTERAL HELL, Demon Gods and Daemons in the parralel dimension clalled the Warp... And the Warp is the 40k-verse mean of FTL travel..., just like in Event Horizon they have to punch a Hole in thge fabric of space and time, to go through LITTERAL HELL to cross the starts on vast distances... 40k is crazy and op dialed up to 11, then you bust the thing and turn it ONCE more to 11... 40k is the ONLY fictional universe, where the fans DO NOT want to life in, its just so insane and Grimdark... *HArry potter fans* i want to go to hogwarts! *Star Trek fans* "o wanna be in Starfleet" *Star Wars fans" i wanna be a Jedi/Sith" *40k fans* "...nah fam i'm good..."
So basically the little homie in the cloak is a Psyker (think weaponized psychic) working for an organization called the Inquisition, he's there to help contain any spheres they (the Retributor Astartes) capture, maybe interrogate them, that's unclear, but he's connected to the one in their possession when it reaches out to the one on the other ship, he psychically eavesdrops on them plotting to take the kill team on the ship and warns the Captain to "Recall them immediately." This brief break in concentration is enough for the thing in the sphere to break its containment, break through his defenses and crush his mind and soul like a bug and take control of his body; since this is one of the very worst things that can happen in this particular universe, his allies, the Captain and the Sergeant put him down immediately.
Some breaking news regarding the creator. He has been hired by Games Workshop to create official animations. GW created Warhammer 40,000 and the Astartes.
In warhammer 40k, possession by chaos or anything xenos is considered horrible. The moment it happens, the imperium executes the possessed person then burns the corpse
Fun fact: When the sphere starts pushing the Astartes back and their boots suddenly stop making sparks it's because they activated the maglock functionality built into their boots. All Astartes armor comes with built-in magnets within their boots strong enough to carry an individual Astartes' full weight.
For reference on the size of the Warhammer 40,000 universe: It is based on a table top war game of the same name. The game contains multiple races (Astartes, Imperial Guard, Sisters of Battle, Aeldari, Tyrranid, and Chaos Demons to name a few). Each faction has their own heroes, backstories, and even culture. As of writing this, there are over 350 books set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Got a question? Feel free to ask though most of my knowledge sits with Craftworld Eldar, Dark Eldar, and Harlequin factions. I do know the "basics" of other others though.
When its showing the creature with the tentacles holding all the Astartes, what happens before the Space Marine is sent away is that something appears to strike and kill the daemon. It is unknown just what exactly killed the daemon. The Emperor himself, another daemon, one of the Chaos Gods themselves, another Psyker, the blast from the marine before he was sucked in, one of the primarch's/other Space Marine's stuck in the warp, etc. In the 40k universe, that blast could have literally come from anything and/or anyone.
About the good/bad guys, the Astartes, or Space marines in the video work for the Inquisition. To give you an idea about the Inquisition, beyond the Exterminatus memes, I find this quote from DoW2 does a good job describing them. "It is human nature to seek culpability in a time of tragedy. It is a sign of strength, to cry out against fate, rather than bow one's head and succumb. Inevitably, many shall fault the hands upon the sword which felled Typhon (the planet that got Exterminatus'ed), the Ordo Malleus (branch of the Inquisition). But the Inquisition merely performs the duty of its office. To further fear them is redundant; to hate them, heretical. Those more sensible will place responsibility with those who forced the hands of the Inquisition. With some fortune, they will foster this hatred into purpose and further rule their own fate by coming to the Emperor's service." Essentially, they are the necessary evil that ensures the survival of humanity.
I'd absolutely love to sit down with you guys and explain so much of the lore of Warhammer, it's vast and epic and undeniably awesome in the truest sense of the word.
Some background for anyone unfamiliar with Warhammer 40k: The series takes place in the 41st millennium, and humanity has changed. Everyone is ruled by the Imperium of Man, a massive empire across the galaxy. The Astartes (usually called Space Marines) are massive super soldiers that fight for the Imperium. The guy in the red hood was a psyker, someone born with psychic powers. He's working for the Inquisition, an organization in the Imperium that seeks out demonic influences and kills them. The psyker was monitoring the two spheres, but learned that the spheres were ordered to kill the Space Marines, and broke concentration to warn them. If you listen closely, you can hear him say "Recall them immediately!" Sadly, this led to him being possessed by one of the spheres, and the two white space marines killed him before he could do any damage. Hope that helps clear it up
the giant robot missing its leg was one of the "Men of Iron". its an artifact from an age where A.I. ran amok and nearly wiped out all of humanity. basically, the demons you saw are trying to revive those "Men of Iron" and put them under the control of demons.

My dad, a non fan, watching them killing the inquisitor, “That was a little overkill.”
Me: nah, totally appropriate, in fact they probably burned him afterward.
And then fired the ashes into the nearest star/black hole.
And that's after both marines dumped full bolter magazines into his body after the camera cut away. Overkill = saving the ship from total destruction if a daemon spawns.
Warp Fuckery (technical term) is not something to take lightly.
assuming he was touched by the warp... that would be considered a mercy kill.
Precisely
The Astartes project is based off of the Warhammer: 40,000 (or 40k for short) universe. The Astartes (or Space Marines) are bio-engineered super warriors that serve and protect The Imperium of Man, a vast galaxy spanning human empire 40,000 years in the future. In this video, the astartes of this specific faction were hunting down the leaders of a rebellion against the Imperium. What they found was that the rebels were under the control of an unknown, psychic alien species (the spheres).
The guy in the red coat was something called a psyker, a powerful psychic individual who was able to listen in on the telepathic conversations of the spheres. The red coat with the skull in the middle of the capitol "I" meant that he was also a member of the God-Emperor's Holy Inquisition, the most powerful organization within the Imperium. He became possessed when he lost focus to warn the Astartes about what he had heard. In case you're wondering what the spheres said to each other, here it is:
Sphere 1: "Brother, I have failed."
Sphere 2: "We have all failed."
Sphere 1: "The Astartes deny our touch."
Sphere 2: "You must return, break your seal"
Sphere 1: "Impossible! We will never survive"
Sphere 2: "You must. Take them!"
The Warhammer 40k universe is VAST and deep with practically mountains of lore. It is arguably the greatest sci-fi universe ever created. You guys will not be disappointed in learning more about it. Welcome to the rabbit hole, brothers.
Only thing to ad is the psiker is not only from the Inquisition, he is actually an Inquisitor. Also the cultist where not possessed or hipnotize, they are from the Cabal. They are filthy heretic that where there willingly, and they got what they deserved.

The big spheres were basically giant malicious artificial intelligences. “Dreadlock dude” was an inquisitor who was listening in on the conversation between the chained up one and the one on the other ship. The spheres caught wind of his eavesdropping and essentially trapped him in demonic possession through the cables when his concentration was broken. The troopers blasting his brains out as soon as this became evident was not only a mercy, but a necessity because he could have done a LOT of damage.
Hardly doubt those were ais
@@miceatah9359 no AI's in 40k
@@catdix_shorts9596 Well there are some AIs in 40k but they always end up with the conclusion of ending all life due to the existence of the immaterium. Most likely they were Yu'vath.
@@catdix_shorts9596 Sure there are. What do you think the men of iron were. There are none allowed in the Imperium in 40000, but there were powerful AIs during the dark age of technology.
I think the idea is that the people on that ship found one, and were taking it back to Mars, and got brain jacked by it, so the Space Marines were sent in to neutralize it.
Fun fact: If you listen closely right after the Inquisitor is done listening to the linked orb things, before he gets possessed (12:01 - more audible in the original), he yells "Recall the Astartes!!" in his mask through his vox-caster to the higher-ranking space marine next to him, and that's when the space marine signals to the lower ranking one to run and go tell them to retreat.
When it next cuts back to the Astartes on the enemy ship, the main one we follow through the story turns his head as they tell him to retreat, but it's too late as the orb begins sucking them in seconds later.
"What is that - is that even blood?"
Yeah, it's blood, but the reason it looks weird is because of one of the Astartes' genetic modifications - that their blood clots extremely fast. Good to stop blood loss and heal quickly, but it means when their blood spills or they cough it up, it looks weird because it's already starting to clot at that point.
Also makes it crazy that the creator paid that much attention to detail, because it's a thing you wouldn't expect to see in an animation project like this, either because the creator didn't know or forgot or because it's that much more effort they have to put in compared to just a simple blood splatter.
The Astartes use rocket propelled bullets that explode on impact, are the size of soda bottles, and are each blessed by a holy priest before battle.
And that’s just the standard, a lot of their enemies won’t even be phased by that.
yep, bolters are like the pea shooters of the space marines xD
it's basically a .75 aphe self propelled bullet
@@Silverized84 .75 is essentially 11-gauge.
Put a rocket motor on a FRAG-12 and shoot it through an AA-12, and you've basically got a bolter.
It's worse actually. Their bullets are mass-reactive so they are intended to explode *inside* their targets.
Their primary weapon is a submachinegun rocket grenade launcher the size of a man's torso.
“Imagine running with all that weight” finally someone mentioned it. Those Space Marines stand at roughly 7ft tall and with the armor they weight 2,000lbs. And despite that, their speed is insane. 35-45mph running at a full sprint.
As quoted in the lore itself “Something that large shouldn’t move that fast.”

"looks like a .50cal" well, the astartes already use .75 cal... so that thing must me like .100cal?
I would say that .75 cal seems actually kinda small for a space marine but judging by the fact that every round has essentially a thruster as the propellant, it’s automatic, and we literally see them holding it down to stop the recoil, the recoil must absolutely insane.
Looks like a 20mm or 25 mm to me
@@ganjabandit5074 the recoil IS absolutely insane. It is stated that if a regular human soldier were to fire a Bolter, the recoil would either:
1. Best case scenario, dislocate the arm.
2. Worst case scenario, tear the arm off entirely.
So going off the weapons:
The astartes use a .75 calibre, dimantium tipped, rocket propelled, fragmentation round. Also known as the bolt rounds.
Simple way of explaining it, after being fired, the shell will ignite the mini thruster in it and speed into the target, on hitting the enemy’s armour or hide or body, the dimantium tip will penetrate it and arm the explosive charge inside. Second later as the rounds is deep in the target it will detonate and either blow out/off part of the targets body or send shrapnel deep into its organs causing severe trauma.
As for the ambusher, he is using an autocannon. So anywhere from 20mm-40mm. These are normally crew served weapons, with a 2 man team. However one can theoretically use one as a single man team.
The rounds they fire are essentially the size of soda cans.

Those Astartes (the space marines in the big ass armor) are around 8 feet tall, just putting that out there-
Edit: Also that "ship" the Astartes got into? Yeah that's not a "ship", it's a full on boarding missile. So instead of just pulling their ship right up next to the other guy's they just launch a missile right through the side of your ship.
And the ammo they use for their guns isn't bullets, those are goddamn mini rockets that have the same power as an average RPG

Imagine a full blown movie, no dialogue, but we'd have to observe just like this the whole time. From warhammer 40k, this would be sick!
"This could turn into a big ass universe...." - Oh, my sweet summer child...
Ok just an explanation is in order. So the main group of five we follow are called Astartes. They are like an order of Sci-fi knights. They are literal super soldiers that make Spartans look like a wet paper bag. They are trying to recover an Alien (or Xenos) artifact from a rebellion.
As for what happened in the latter half. So the guys who had the weird masks where psykers. Think of them like planet destroying Sci-fi Wizards.
Other important details, the guy in the cloak was apart of this universes secret service, those are called the inquisition. The Inquisition are the ones who gave the Astartes the mission.The reason he got his cranium splattered was because he got possessed by what ever was in that orb. It is really hard to kill them when it happens, so they get them early.
Last bit the 5 Main Atartes aren't in the orb they where teleported through the warp (don't ask) to an unknown location.
Oh yea and this all takes place in the grim dark future of Warhammer. The actual illustration of the "In Soviet Russia" meme

So here's a similar issue I face as someone who likes to draw (many things usually with a military theme to it); I'll try and come up with a concept image for a soldier from a fantasy setting with heavy napoleonic era themes. Will borrow a few ideas from various real life uniforms and equipment of that historical era mixed with a few touches of my own in an attempt to be creative. Type up at least a paragraph worth of setting details to go with it when I post the finished piece on an art site. Leaves ans comes back to 5 comments. The majority of comments will be "looks like ".
I'm like "it clearly isn't and your comment tells me nothing".
Iron Man predates WH40K be literally decades and Space Marine armor does have some resemblance to his original armor.
I also liked the "it's like a defense mechanism to keep them from getting closer!"
Uhhhh....thanks captain obvious 😂
One of the first thing I learned when "discovering" Warhammer 40K was that what they did to the Inquisitor was mercy.
So this was made by one guy, on the later clips he did have some minor help from other 3D artists but it was almost entirely him.
This video is set in the Warhammer 40k universe, massive massive fantasy with rich history and lore, a battle and war focused galaxy.
The attacking group wearing armour in the video are called space marines (also known as Adeptus Astartes, hence the title), who are effectively superhuman soliders serving the imperium of man and the emperor of mankind, the ones wearing white helmets are the squad captains back on their main ship, the guy in robes kneeling with the wires is part of the inquisition and is a psyker, who are like wizards/jedi and have powers, he had the power of telepathy and was hooked up to comminicate with the orb in the room, and the attacking squad were send to connect the two orbs. We don't have any information on who was on the ship that got attacked, but we can assume they're either a servant of chaos or space pirates or traitors. The two big guys with spines coming out were robots who the orb on the ship was controlling (we think). And when they got sucked into the orb, they were sent into a space called "the warp", which is like another dimension and is inhabited by demons and we assume a demon was communicating through the orb (long story of why demons have to do that). The light that attacked the demon to save the astarties people assume was the the emperor (he's an immortal dying coprse on a golden throne, who guides humanity and keeps chaos at bay).
So much more detail, but that is the short summary, and yes, that was the SHORT summary :)
12:44 Eating someone’s organic tissues to gain their knowledge and memories is actually one of the abilities that these space marines have.
not all of them, just flesh tearers I think, but they originated from the blood angels as far as i know
@@AlmightyPi All of the space marines have this ability. It’s an ability granted by one of the organs that was implanted into a marine Neophyte during the augmentation process, Omophagea aka the Remembrancer. It’s just the Blood Angel’s geneseed have a special reaction to this organ that would cause it to mutate, which in turn would cause the Blood Angels and their successor chapters’ marines to have cravings for flesh and blood.
Astartes explanation in simple terms: take captain America, put him in the Ironman suit, and give him an assault rifle that fires rocket propelled missiles the size of a 12 gauge shotgun.
Space Marines as they are known are like master chief on steroids.
More like a Captain America in a HulkBuster

Homie on the left be falling asleep half way through the video 🤣
So I made this comment on InternetCity - InternetMikey & Aaron's channel and it seemed to help alot of people understand what is going on (for those who might be a bit lost). So hope it helps here (did change some things to update it)
So the most basic description that I can give is this:
The Space Marines have been tasked with retrieving an alien artifact on the enemy ship, so that they can study/deal with it, as the Space Marines basically hate anything Xeno related
On their own ship, they already have one of these alien spheres locked up, under the watch of a religious "monk"(Inquisitor) who is monitoring it to make sure it doesn't cause any havoc and to hopefully realize its purpose.
As the Marines eliminate the enemies and approach the orb, they add tech into it that is meant to limit its power, but in that moment it begins to communicate with the sphere on the Space Marines ship.
The two entities conversation is heard by the Inquisitor, who realizes that the entity is going to flee, rather than be captured, and take the Space Marine squad with it.
He then tells the Space Marine leader that the team needs to get out of there and be extracted NOW! But doing so causes his focus to waver and he is taken control of by the second entity and thus must be killed by the leader before he is turned or causes untold havoc on the ship.
The team leader gets the message but it is too late and he and his team are taken by the entity to a separate dimension. However (there are a couple of things that might have happened) the Inquisitor was able to help with his dying breath and sent out a psychic wave that frees them from the creatures tendrils. Or a warp creature sees the entity and decided to attack it, inadvertently freeing the Space Marines.
But even though they are free, they are all still teleported to an unknown world with giant skeleton statues/beings and now must figure out where they are at.
All of this is an incredibly basic explanation, and I am sure I got some of this wrong, but there are more detailed videos on TH-cam of people going over what exactly transpired and give more in-depth description about the Space Marines and the enemies they fight. Just wanted to help give a basic rundown for yah. Also the question of "are they the good guys" is.........complicated. But it is worth getting into it is one of my all time favorite universes! Hope this helps!
Idk if it's worth getting into lmfao it's A LOT to catch up on and the fan base is garbage but yea it's good lore. Also I think they got transported to earth. I believe that place is supposed to be Mariana's trench. You had a really good rundown tho bro you didn't really miss anything
@@gambeano Haha appreciate it, and you are right there is ALOT of lore for Warhammer 40k!
Oh and the 2 force guys were conjoined hence the opposite arms and why the 2nd guy couldn't stop himself from getting killed because he was busy shielding the other one that good his arm blasted off. Also why there was a blast once one got killed (sibling bond)
@@gambeano Do you know what race those guys are? I didn't recognize any of the markings or their masks. I assumed the soldiers were heretics of a sort, traitor Imperium of Man serving those force guys. But they seemed like they were much more Xeno like in design, possibly T'au ish or maybe some sort of techno hybrid?
Perfect explanation, and to clarify the part you were not sure... It is a warp entity, that's the reason the xeno tries to take the marines as bait with him and the reason he also tells the other xeno "take them" when this one told him "we won't survive" meaning traveling in the warp. It seems these xenos raze is, which is from the Cabal (if you know that lore, it is mostly 30k) is very warp sensitive, so they live inside this balls for protection. The second they tried to get out and escape through the warp, demons where like "oh shit look, a meal" Lmao.

@@quickmix-streammusic7019 i was 99% sure it was redshift sorry, heard it in corridor crews vid maybe i was mistaken
@@mishiko7211 Oh, I'm not 100% sure either. Nice to know you watch Corridor Crew too. As far as I remember they said that they would prefer to do work like this on redshift. Like I said I am not 100% sure since it's been a while since I watched that video.
@@tallnigget7104 okay? I guess?
Quick explanation like super short.
Big fuckers go to board ship to link one ball with the already captured ball. During board they fight and end up at the ball. Once they link, that priest looking dude was trying to I think understand it or control it. Once he heard it say that it was going to consume the people so they should return basically, he came out of the trance, told drippy cape dude “extract them immediately” it was muffled. This was happening at the same time they were with the orb. Before they get magnetized to the orb, he got the message to retreat but it was too late. They were saved because priest destroyed the link before they were consumed, hence the black could that ate the ball when they were tethered with those tentacles. But they were still teleported to another dimension. You can see his other comrades spawn in on the other pillars. That dimension is what the priest saw in his link before he got vibe Checked by drippy cape guy and his associate.

Good Job Blue!
NO! They are way to early in the Journey for that.
For some context: A Bolter shoots a round the size of half your fist, and it explodes upon contact with whatever it hits. That’s why it was doing that.
"are they the good guys?".... well no
"Are they the good guys?"
*Laughs in "thirsting gods"*
Holy shit you guys figured out so much about the lore of the video so fast with no context, that’s pretty impressive.
the "Astartes" comes from the "Adeptus Astartes" wich is the name of the organisation, but they are more commonly called Space Marines.
Space Marines are the elite Warriors of the Imperium of Man, a Galactic Empire (who's a Theocratic Totalitarian Feudal Confederacy of sorts) who spans the whole Milky Way galaxy (our galaxy) in the far future of the 41st Millenium.
thats why its called Warhammer 40.000.
SPace MArines are geneticaly modified Super Soldiers, we're talking 2 hearts, 3 lungs, can have half of their brain asleep and stay active up to 72 hours straigth, can even survive in the void of space and recover from the grieviest wounds or if needed have the missing parts replaced by new organs or bionics.
Space marines has 19 different organs implanted in them throuhg their years of training from been aspirants to full fledged battle brothers.
One of this implant called the Black carapce is set under their skin and has connection ports, that allow them to be neurally linked to their Power armors and thus move in it as if they where wearing nothing.
Power armors like in most cases are powerfull tools of protection but also support and destruction.
It can enhance the allready Super Human levels of physical strengths a Space MArines enjoys, its void sealed, can be breached only by the heaviest weaponry or anti tank weaponry, and even tho its weight over 150 kg, the immense strenght of the Space MArines with the servos of the armor and the neural link they have, makes it natural for them to wear it.
The Space Marines favorite piece of weaponry is the Bolter.
This weapon is the unholy marriage of an assault rifle and a rocket launcher.
Bolts ( the ammo) are red bull cans sized ammunition, that are self proppeled like a rocket, penetrates the target AND THEN EXPLODES, once inside, transforming anything organkic in a thin red gooy mist...
And thats their standard isse weaponry, like m4a1's are standar in the contemporary Marines...
But all of this is not nearly as fucking insane as ALL the rest of the Setting...
you guys should watch brecky's "40k factions explained" 2 parts vids, and also the Templin institute videos about the Imperium, the Astra Millitarium, Cadia, the Orks, the Tyranids, the Space Marines.
And some fo Leutin 96
40k is one of the most insane setting, where everything is out to kill eat or rape you, and not in that particular order, where Technology is viewed as religion and magic, where you have Psychic Powers that would make Sith Lords jeally as fuck or piss their pants, and Daemons...
Cause yeah in the far future of 40k there is LITTERAL HELL, Demon Gods and Daemons in the parralel dimension clalled the Warp...
And the Warp is the 40k-verse mean of FTL travel..., just like in Event Horizon they have to punch a Hole in thge fabric of space and time, to go through LITTERAL HELL to cross the starts on vast distances...
40k is crazy and op dialed up to 11, then you bust the thing and turn it ONCE more to 11...
40k is the ONLY fictional universe, where the fans DO NOT want to life in, its just so insane and Grimdark...
*HArry potter fans* i want to go to hogwarts!
*Star Trek fans* "o wanna be in Starfleet"
*Star Wars fans" i wanna be a Jedi/Sith"
*40k fans* "...nah fam i'm good..."
bro in the pink beanie is ZOOOOMING and saying random shiidd hahahaa
I like how they go "wow maybe this will be the start of a whole universe" lol
Never was a fan of 40k but as a member of the male community I am a fan of 40k
So basically the little homie in the cloak is a Psyker (think weaponized psychic) working for an organization called the Inquisition, he's there to help contain any spheres they (the Retributor Astartes) capture, maybe interrogate them, that's unclear, but he's connected to the one in their possession when it reaches out to the one on the other ship, he psychically eavesdrops on them plotting to take the kill team on the ship and warns the Captain to "Recall them immediately." This brief break in concentration is enough for the thing in the sphere to break its containment, break through his defenses and crush his mind and soul like a bug and take control of his body; since this is one of the very worst things that can happen in this particular universe, his allies, the Captain and the Sergeant put him down immediately.
the dude on the furthest left is STRUGGLING he's so high 😂😂😂
Some breaking news regarding the creator. He has been hired by Games Workshop to create official animations. GW created Warhammer 40,000 and the Astartes.
In warhammer 40k, possession by chaos or anything xenos is considered horrible. The moment it happens, the imperium executes the possessed person then burns the corpse
Dude on the left slept through the whole thing 😂
Dude on the left was fighting for his life 😂🫡
12:30 Everyone's always shocked at Daemonic Possession Treatment Number One.
Fun fact: When the sphere starts pushing the Astartes back and their boots suddenly stop making sparks it's because they activated the maglock functionality built into their boots. All Astartes armor comes with built-in magnets within their boots strong enough to carry an individual Astartes' full weight.
"Like, they are somebodys herald"
*knock knock*
"Got a minute to talk about our lord and saviour, The Emperor?"
"It felt like a video game"
Literally every 40k fan: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Welcome to warhamer 40k fellas. Where the dial is always past 11 and making star wars. Halo and more look like a Disney movie.
For reference on the size of the Warhammer 40,000 universe: It is based on a table top war game of the same name. The game contains multiple races (Astartes, Imperial Guard, Sisters of Battle, Aeldari, Tyrranid, and Chaos Demons to name a few). Each faction has their own heroes, backstories, and even culture. As of writing this, there are over 350 books set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Got a question? Feel free to ask though most of my knowledge sits with Craftworld Eldar, Dark Eldar, and Harlequin factions. I do know the "basics" of other others though.
When its showing the creature with the tentacles holding all the Astartes, what happens before the Space Marine is sent away is that something appears to strike and kill the daemon.
It is unknown just what exactly killed the daemon.
The Emperor himself, another daemon, one of the Chaos Gods themselves, another Psyker, the blast from the marine before he was sucked in, one of the primarch's/other Space Marine's stuck in the warp, etc.
In the 40k universe, that blast could have literally come from anything and/or anyone.
About the good/bad guys, the Astartes, or Space marines in the video work for the Inquisition. To give you an idea about the Inquisition, beyond the Exterminatus memes, I find this quote from DoW2 does a good job describing them. "It is human nature to seek culpability in a time of tragedy. It is a sign of strength, to cry out against fate, rather than bow one's head and succumb. Inevitably, many shall fault the hands upon the sword which felled Typhon (the planet that got Exterminatus'ed), the Ordo Malleus (branch of the Inquisition). But the Inquisition merely performs the duty of its office. To further fear them is redundant; to hate them, heretical. Those more sensible will place responsibility with those who forced the hands of the Inquisition. With some fortune, they will foster this hatred into purpose and further rule their own fate by coming to the Emperor's service." Essentially, they are the necessary evil that ensures the survival of humanity.
In the grimm dark future there is only war there is no peace between the stars
I'd absolutely love to sit down with you guys and explain so much of the lore of Warhammer, it's vast and epic and undeniably awesome in the truest sense of the word.
Some background for anyone unfamiliar with Warhammer 40k:
The series takes place in the 41st millennium, and humanity has changed. Everyone is ruled by the Imperium of Man, a massive empire across the galaxy. The Astartes (usually called Space Marines) are massive super soldiers that fight for the Imperium. The guy in the red hood was a psyker, someone born with psychic powers. He's working for the Inquisition, an organization in the Imperium that seeks out demonic influences and kills them. The psyker was monitoring the two spheres, but learned that the spheres were ordered to kill the Space Marines, and broke concentration to warn them. If you listen closely, you can hear him say "Recall them immediately!" Sadly, this led to him being possessed by one of the spheres, and the two white space marines killed him before he could do any damage. Hope that helps clear it up
When they ask "are they the good guys" i was like, boi there ain't no good guys in 40k.
the giant robot missing its leg was one of the "Men of Iron". its an artifact from an age where A.I. ran amok and nearly wiped out all of humanity. basically, the demons you saw are trying to revive those "Men of Iron" and put them under the control of demons.
The guy was hired by the "Original Company" (Games Workshop) as part of their animation team to make movies.
Them: “This man got beskar.”
Everyone who knows the lore: *Laughs in space marine.*
