Basically the Deathwatch is a special chapter created by the Inquisition that consists of veterans from other chapters The three marines you saw here were from the Crimson Fists, Black Templars (both successor chapters of the Imperial Fists legion) and the Space Wolves (one of the original legions)
Not specifically veterans. Black Templars send the most "sane" astartes, that won't have a meltdown due to Deathwatch usage of xeno technology and librarians
@@olegkupran5284 I think in general they mean like, the people selected have seen frequent combat with xenos, often a particular species that they may have more experience with than others. Meanwhile the Black Templars on their eternal crusade to fight everything everywhere are sort of brimming with "veterans" of xenos conflicts, despite not being a particular focus or specialty. So... It honestly makes sense that their criteria would be different. And, y'know, like you said, conducive to how Deathwatch operates. Can't have someone going dangerously close to a Khornate berserker impression just because someone dared to use xenos tech in their presence. Lol
@@Knight-Bishop It's prety mixed. Some chapters view servitude in the Deathwatch as a reward, some as punishment. If i remember right the Chapter Master and a Librarian or an Apothecary have to vouch for the marines they send. Well some chapters send the most insane batsh*t crazy ones they can find as a ginat fk you. xD (Deathwatch specialize in xeno killing. They will murderize anything that Sigismund would not approve tho.)
Crimson Fists also hold the distinction of being on the front cover of the first Edition Rulebook for 40k in the late 80's. The example mission in the book featured a Crimson Fists character named as Pedro Kantor (who was described as a Captain, but in later publications was named as the Chapter Master). I played a Crimson Fists army from my introduction to the game in the late 80's at school and through until about 10 years ago when I took a break from the hobby and sold all my stuff. Now restarted the desktop with Salamanders and the Votann Space Dwarves 👍🏻
Also there ist the book rynn's world about how the Crimson Fist lost their Home against an ork invasion. And the black templars also where on the cover of the core Rules in 3rd Edition when they where the Poster Boys. Good Times for the sons of Dorn! Played them from 5th Till 8th and then again in 10th with Imperial Fists together😊
@AnnihilatedHope Rynn's world is my Favourite novel from the Space Marine Battles series, Alessio Cortez is a great character as well as Kantor's excellent portrayal 👍
That was a statue of Roboute Guilliman. Lord Commander of the Imperium and Primarch of the Ultramarines... funny enough none of those three marines are from his line ;)
Im really enjoying your 40k journey. I vote Yes to subscribing to warhammertv and reacting to their animations especially Angels of death, pariah nexus and the tithes
Yes it's absolutely worth it to get warhammer plus. Even if it's only for a month or two to watch the shows that are on there. You wanted another full length 40k movie. Go watch angels of death. Its even by the same guy that made the helsreach movie. While they're somewhat lacking in quantity, what's there is quality.
Understandable that he got it wrong tho, I really hate that GW gave Reivers skull masks, makes it confusing for newcomers and takes away from Chaplins' unique look.
The Deathwatch is the Chapter Militant of the Ordo Xenos. Basically space marines from various chapters on loan to the Inquisition. The Imperial Fists, despite having been wiped out once, are still around. That was a Crimson Fist though, which, like the Black Templars, is a second founding successor chapter of the Imperial Fists. The Crimson Fists were sort of the poster boys for the early days of first edition Warhammer 40k.
3:37 a Crimson Fist and a Black Templar sons of Primarch Rogal Dorn. 6:03 a Space Wolf a son of the Primarch Leman Russ. 6:36 that is a statue of the Lord Commander himself the Ultramarines Primarch Roboute Guilliman.
There is a full animated movie on warhammer plus called angels of death. Its what richard boylan (helsreach movie) did for gw after they hired him. You can watch the ten episodes separately or they put a version up thats all one long 2.5hr movie instead of individual episodes. Then theres also several prequel episodes that give you some more background on the characters. Pretty much all the shows on there are damn good. Its definitely worth subbing for a month or two to watch the shows.
Fun fact: you have seen a two different deranged Necron units that are shunned by their overlords for their mandness within. A bunch of *Flayed Ones* and a large *Destroyer Lord* cultists. Flayed ones desire to consume flesh despite not having organic mouths to put the meat in. Destroy cultists have OP weoponary to destroy everyone. It is said when all of the enemies of the Necron Empire have fallen the Tomblords fear that the Destroyer cultists will point their guns at each other or superiors for pleasure or sport.
Deathwatch is a private chapter for the Inquisition, specifically Ordo Xenos, a branch that investigates and deals with alien threats to the Imperium. There are nearly no permanent Deathwatch members, other chapters will send veterans to the Deathwatch to serve them for a designated period of time, then return to their home chapter. Or space marines with dishonorable origins will offer there service as a black shield with no questions asked. The blue and red fist on the pauldron is the emblem for the Crimson Fists, a popular successor of the Imperial Fists, the other was a Black Templar, and the last being a Space Wolf
The marines are a Black Templars Bladeguard Veteran (bulwark in SM2), a Crimson Fists Intercessor (tactical) and a Space Wolves Reiver (vanguard) And they are fighting some Flayed Ones and a Skorpekh Lord (that thing is SCARY) Both of them are loathed by the other necrons, the flayed ones because they are infected with the flayer virus (which drives them insane with lust for blood and gore) and the skorpekh lord because they belong to the destroyer cult (kind a of a sub-faction of necrons whose minds became so twisted that their only purpose is to cleanse the universe of organic life)
The deathwatch is not so much a chapter onto itself but a specialist side formation created to essentially be the ultimate xeno-hunters across the galaxy. They are the ordo-militant of the Ordo Xeno’s of the Inquisition. The Deathwatch itself recruits from all Chapters within the Adeptus Astartes. Some see it as a honour posting being sent here to both pass on their skills and xeno hunting knowledge to fellow battle brothers from other chapters, while in exchange learning too. Others see it as a waste of battle brothers and either fully refuse to participate or will send their more problematic battle brothers here as essentially a death sentence (as the Deathwatch usually take on missions that can be described as… very unlikely to return). Others use it as a place of penance sending marines they believe who need to either lean more restraint, forgiveness for a crime committed in he chapters name/untowards the chapter, brotherhood, etc. As such within one single deathwatch squad you can find everything. A Black Templar assault marine A Blood Angels Devastator A Iron Hands Techpriest A Red Scorpion Apothecary A Carcharodon Tactical Marine Etc, etc. each Kill Team is unique and many will usually serve together for many decades to even centuries with brothers coming and going from casualties or their time in the watch being done. This also as above doesn’t just donote to their single “class” either. Unlike standard chapters where a tactical marine will serve in a tactical squad, in the deathwatch brothers of different class can be put together as to help give the most option available for their missions - I.e. devastators to help lay down fire support/bring the bring weapons, the tactical all rounder, assault marines to get stick in, librarians to bring the warp, chaplains to bring the spirit, apothecary’s and tech priests to being their own expertise, dreadnaughts for wisdom and steel, terminators for brining that unwavering tank, etc. - note this also semi-applies to the Deathwatch armouries too. As while stuff like Relics are less like it to be handed out willy-nilly, the rest of the armoury is fully available for all brothers. So every battle brother in the watch can bring what he believes he will need to the field of battle. It is to note. Due to such a melding of so many different chapters and cultures, there can sometimes be… friction in some squads. Yes they’ll always make sure to try and put the most appropriate brother into the most appropriate situation, I.e. They’ll likely put the Black Templar, Minotaur, Flesh Tearer, Dark Angel and Carcharodon together; While the Imperial Fist, Ultramarine, Crimson Fist, Salamander and Blood Angel together due to temperament and such. Tho this isn’t always possible or the case and you can have a squad where you have rivalries or clashing ego’s and cultures (tho this is sometimes intentional, as ways to teach members to learn to trust and bond and accept their brothers and their traditions just as much as their own - a great example I remember from a book is an Ultramarine serving alongside a Black Templar who both massively clash with one another, however, it’s noted that centuries on after the Black Templar had fallen, said Ultramarine even after returning to his chapter took the tradition of the Black Templar to chain his blade to himself in honour of his former brother who he mourns the loss of). And again there are chapter rivalries both good and bad. Such as the more boastful and teasing one between the White Scars and Raven Guard, to the physical one between the Space Wolves and Dark Angels - and even inter legion ones from how more codex compliant ultramarine successors may look upon non codex compliant ultramarine successors with disdain, disapproval or worse) The only major rule that restricts the formation of a Kill Team is that it should never contain more than 1 battle brother of any chapter. I.e. you won’t get two Imperial Fist on the same Kill Team. A team made fully of Imperial Fist successor chapters… fair. But just the one chapter. No. This is to avoid teams being essentially run by a single chapter and stops the potential of any one subculture becoming to dominant - and should one fall to treachery, it’s less likely to convert 4 brothers of other chapters than several of his own. The only three major exceptions to this set of rules are: 1. Black Shields. Essentially battle brothers who completely hide/re-sind their own chapter heraldry for animosity. As such their battle brother instead of wearing the usual 1 silver pauldron of the Deathwatch and 1 bearing their old chapter heraldry, they will instead bear a fully black pauldron in said heraldry’s place and maybe chains and rags in representation of hidden secret. These battle brothers can earn themselves redemption back into their old chapters tho rare. Majority usually instead sell their lives the most to complete objectives as a form of redemption for both themselves and their crimes that forced them to take the black shield. - usually the vast majority of black shields are either battle brother serving out penance from their own chapter after committing a major act or heresy or crime. Or also quite a few ex-traitors or battle brothers who have remained loyal but whose chapter have turned to chaos. As such these brother go in essentially fully ready to sell their lives dearly. 2. Kill-Marines. These are very rare within the Deathwatch but are essentially Solo-Operators. Either due to their skills and abilities better suited for solo operations (such as stealth and assassination and infiltration and such) or are brothers who’s complete lack of ability to bond with other brothers and such has made it much easier to just send them solo on mission than deal with all the fallout and drama. As such these guys operate alone and are usually sent on deep recon operations or century long assassination missions or infiltration missions of sites the deathwatch wish to keep track of. A Kill Marine can be returned to standard service within a Kill Team but interestingly most of the time they’ll usually be found operating within Inquisitorial retinues or even Rouge Trader retinues due to their solo freedom of operation and command. 3. Brothers who fully sign to the Deathwatch. While usually the vast majority of those sent to the deathwatch are only there for a small period of time before they’ll either be released back to the chapter in rotation of the next wave of battle brothers to the watch, or can even request transfer back due to chapter need and necessity, etc. But for some the Deathwatch is their new home. Either due to a non-wish to abandon his brothers still in the watch, or a fully bonded commitment to the watch itself and its wish to purge the xeno completely, or through wish to be the long striding veteran who can pass on his knowledge to generations of battle brothers who come to his squad - there is again example of this of a Raven Guard Successor I believe who essentially promised himself as a full time Watch Sergeant so he could forever help be the teaching influence of future Raven Guard, Salamander, Iron Hand and White Scar’s who come to the watch and can be their to help bond these battle brothers through their shared history and rivalry’s of their chapters. And this is done in honour of his own battle brothers from his old Kill Team who have either returned to their chapters and are usually the ones to help send said watch fortress said battle brothers, or have are no longer with him due to falling in service of the watch. As such while these brother continue to bear their heraldry (tho there are known examples of Watch Captains and even Watch Masters who have been Black Shields before) they will also never return to their chapter and will instead remain permanently attached to the Deathwatch. These battle brothers are usually what make up the senior levels of the Deathwatch with practically all Watch Captains and Watch Masters having taken this oath to forever serve the Watch and a lot of Watch Sergeants are also of this same credo (as are also alot of Kill-Marines and Black Shields). Auxiliary services such as Apothecary’s and Techmarines are also common ones to remain permanently attached to the Deathwatch But personally. If you want the best way of learning about the Deathwatch fine someone with a link to the old Fantasy Flight Games Deathwatch Rulebook and expansions as they go deep into lore about all of this and who each chapter sees the watch and how a battle brother can end up their through all sorts or situations. Small edit and addition: For battle brother who serve in the watch and return, it is standard for them to carry back their deathwatch pauldron as a way to show their service inside the watch but also as a personal totem/relic to remind them of their service. It’s also quite common for battle brothers to actually continue to wear it even after service and returning to their chapter. - another common example of this is battle brother continuing to paint one arm silver in remembrance of their service too.
Deathwatch techinically is not a chapter. They are more like an anti-xenos joint task force that work for the inquisition. The most unqiue thing about Deathwatch is that they made up of Elite Space Marine from various Chapters. This allow Space marine from the various chapter to exchange culture and tactics (for example, Black Templar attached their weapon to their right hand using a chain. This is why in SM2, you can see Titus have a chain on his right hand even when he have return to the Ultramarine) Space marine view it as a great honor to be selected and serve the Deathwatch but service is not permenant. After a specific time, they can return back to their original chapter if they survive. Most of Deathwatch mission is very dangerous because they usually send behind enemy lines. Infact, a squad of Deathwatch is called a Killteam the uniform/colour of Deathwatch marine is simple, black for most part except for the left hand (grey colour), left shoulder (grey Deathwatch pouldron) and right shoulder (original chapter logo). In this video, you see three deathwatch members from the following chapter : Crimson Fist, Black Templar, Space Wolves In SM2 prologue, we see 5 Deathwatch marine from the following chapter: Titus (Ultramarine but serve as a blackshield: a marine without a chapter), Dark Angel, Black Templar, Space Wolves, Blood Angel
On the gaming side of things, the amazingly zen "Power Wash Simulator" has a DLC where you get to clean the grime off of various Imperial hardware (Land Raider, Dreadnought, Imperial Knight, etc). The attention to detail on the various vehicles is top notch. They even have them in a huge Mechanicus maintenance bay. Worth checking out if you want to get a close look at some of the vehicles or, at the very least, want a change of pace.
Ok, so for animations you have yet to react to, here's a list. 9th Edition Trailer Killteam Trailer (2021) Killteam Trailer (2024) DarkTide Teaser Trailer and World Intro trailer Dawn of War 1, 2 and 3 Cinematic Trailers Pariah Nexus (Warhammer+) The Tithes (Warhammer+) Iron Within (Warhammer+) Hammer and Bolter (Warhammer+) Fan made Stuff: The Last Church The Lord Inquisitor Death Korps of Krieg by AbsolutelyNothing Death Korps of Krieg by SODAZ (reuploaded by others due to SODAZ removing them from his channel) Siege by SODAZ (reuploaded) Black Templar by SODAZ (reuploaded) Plague by SODAZ (reuploaded) Legacy by SODAZ (reuploaded) Atleast, there's the ones i can think of, I know there's alot more game trailers
i heard that warhammer+ is definitely worth it for a month or two, during which you watch all the stuff thats on it, then you cancel your sub until they got some new animations on there. that is unless you want the special miniature they offer for a year sub, which is actually not a bad deal iirc, but obviously you gotta be kinda deep in The Hobby. for animations, i dont remember if you watched them, but if not, you should check out SODAZ animations: ・Death Korps of Krieg by 워해머 SODAZ ・워해머,Warhammer40k Siege ・워해머,Warhammer40K Black Templar ・워해머,Warhammer40k Plague ・워해머,Warhammer 40k Deploy in addition: ・Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2 intro cinematic complete prologue intro & BFG2 - Fall of Cadia (wish there was a video that would combine the two, but cant find any) ・GUARDSMAN - 2018
Take a look on "The last Church" it's a story about the Emperor Take also a look on "If The Emperor had a Text-to-Speech device" It's awesome 😂 And check out the Cinematics of The Warhammer40k Games like Dawn of War Btw. you'll love Warhammer Fantasy too😉 For exemple: TotalWarWarhammer Cinematics 😁👍
7:00 There is a feature-length animated movie, with big names in it. It's just considered not very good by the fanbase. ("Ultramarines", if you're curious)
FORTYKAAAAAAAAY (VIN-YET is how it's pronounced) So in Lore, the Astartes have literally incredible, ridiculous Teamwork(tm). They don't call each other brothers JUST because of their gene relation, they serve in the same dedicated squads for potentially their entire lives (unless promoted to dead or up in the ranks). They know exactly what their brothers will do and what each others silent body language means, they can anticipate each other better than a couple that have been married 50 years. In the last few years GW has been trying to nail this point home in their siege of terra series. The custodes are Lions and Astartes are wolves.
I hope they do another full length animated movie too. After they shot themselves in the foot with Ultramarine at least they now have a really good animation team who can give it what it needs :)
Those necrons you have seen are a bit special. They have a special decease or plague. Those smaller necrons are Flayed Ones. They have flayer plague. Infected necrons gradually loose sense of themselves, fall into madness and perpetual hunger for flesh, which they can never satiate because they have no mouth or any part of a feeding tract. The big one was a type of a Destroyer. Those necrons have Destroyer plague. It makes them to hate any form of life. They abandon they original humanoid form to distance themselves from their living past and to become as much proficient as rhey can at exterminating life. After every won battle for a planet they do their extermination job thoroughly to even microbial level. Those infected are shund by other necrons if not shot on a spot. But sometimes they are still used in battle although as far away from other necrons as possible. As Necrons don't have cure for these deceases.
Warhammer+ costs like 6Euro, you can sub and unsub after watching the good stuff like Pariah Nexus and The Tithe (both really good), Broken Lance (Knights!), Angels of Death (same guy who made Helsreach, the sounds effects are a bit wack but otherwise good), Iron Within (casual Iron Warrior W), The Exodite (space communist weeaboos in 3rd), and Interrogator (I'm a sucker for cliche Detective Noir and this one was great)
This cinematic is great, the way its animated reminds me a LOT of Harryhausen, as if they took the real figurines and did stop motion with them. Im calling it now When they do Space Marine 3 (theyve already confirmed that it is in the works), we will likely get Tyrannids, Necrons, and im HOPING for a civil war type deal with a neighbouring primark and their faction, so we get some marine on marine action! Itll be great to have that level of representation in a modern game outside of the Total War Warhammer titles.
So as a member of the death watch if the individual so chooses they are allowed to represent their original chapter on their right shoulder. As in this video a Black Templar, Crimson fist and a Space Wolf all under the banner of the death watch with identical armor save for their right pauldrons In space marine 2 during the prolog Titus (as a black shield did not do this) his right shoulder was covered by a cloth
I'd reccomend dawn of war 2 as something to do next, dow1 is a bit dated boltgun is doom to it's core, but dow2 especially the base game and first expansion chaos rising is fairly compelling
If you want to deep dive the space marine legions I would highly recommend, "Baldermort's guide to warhammer 40k" , "The Remembrancer" , and "The Amber King". They are all great storytellers and do a great job explaining the lore. I suggest Baldermorts vid on the nightlords first :). been enjoying the 40k reactions, thank you.
Ohhh well. The problem is they did make an animated movie called Ultramarine and it didn't do very well. It's been remastered now but if you can see the original release I'd suggest checking it out just for historical context if nothing else. Also, Deathwatch lore could be a great next shout. Im currently reading Deathwatch as I saw this pop up on my phone 😅
Stuff to react: Pariah Nexus Series. A little Series about a Salamander, Sister of battle some Necrons. But there sadly isn´t one single video, instead there are litte 15 parts, but luckily they are all on the same channel
on warhammer+ there is some good animation stuff to check out: angels of death (blood angels focused), tithes (a 3 episode anothligy on some bits in the imprium). for other cinimatics, check out the dawn of war cinimatic, it was huge when it came out and as we reaactly learnt the director of that is the guy behind the upcomming secret level series (even noting that cinematic was his firt directing job)
1:33 If you like deathwatch armor you need to look up more on the Grey Knights, if you want to play a videogame and learn more about the Grey Knights you can play Chaosgate: Daemonhunter.
Looking forward to the Boltgun video. You may have to separate it into a few parts because there's a great DLC for it with even more story to get through, so it's pretty big now.
Those lads with the red fists on the pauldron and black cross are the crimson fists and black templars respectively Both are descendants of the Imperial Fists legion, Templars you know already. Crimson Fists are Imperial Fists if they acted like Ultramarines
There are some great shows on Warhammer +, you can probably binge watch them all in 1 months worth of sub easy so in that respect, yes its probably worth it as there are some great series on there. The tithes, hammer and bolter, and Pariah are all excellent
With warhammer+ you can pay month by month, so you could grab a month watch some stuff and see how you feel. There is a full movie that you can find on youtube, called Ultramarine, but the technology wasn't there yet and it was not very well done (some big name voices in it though), hence it was not well received. I think that made GW a little gun-shy in making another. There is also Death of Hope, which you might enjoy, though that is super dark and kind of depressing.
Up to you whether you want to pay up for Warhammer+ but there are multiple hours worth of official animations on there. the full cut of Angels of Death (made by the Hellsreach guy) is i think over 2 hours long and that's just 1 of the animations on there
Games Workshop did release a CGI movie back in 2010 called 'Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie'. The general consensus is that the movie was bad. The animations really janky compared to today's offerings and while it was voiced by the likes of Sean Pertwee and John Hurt, the story was forgettable and there was a lot of lore discrepancies that were firmly established in canon at the time. Also, I wouldn't do a full live reaction to any of the Warhammer TV animations; GW is very protective of their IP (they've gone after a lot of fan animation projects when they realized how much interest there was) and they may copyright strike your channel
I would say Warhammer+ is worth getting for 1 month and watching/recording reactions for all of them. The only ones that I would say are worth watching are Iron Within, Angels of Death, Broken Lance, Pariah Nexus, Tithes (Nexus and this are connected and are best quality out of the ones recommended) and upcoming (maybe already released, didn't check on it) Kill Lupercal.
There is an official cinematic movie that was made several years ago called “Ultramarines.” It’s not very good though and also gives us one of the worst portrayals of Astartes. It shows them as just being tough guys in armor and nothing more. Many of these cinematic do this unfortunately. We have yet to get a cinematic that accurately shows the incredible skill, speed and other superhuman abilities of Astartes as described in official lore.
I would like to recommend you a channel called Rufus Juice. The guy does just GREAT voiceovers of fragments from warhammer books. They're also pretty short- mostly 2 to 5 minutes, if you're worried about it. I would love to see you react to it. Maybe even as sidecick to some other short video The two videos that I like the most - Guilliman, Lorgar and Angron from "Betrayer" - A40k Dramatic Reading Rogal Dorn and Fulgrim Confrontation from "Saturnine" - A 40k Dramatic Reading
In regards to the warhammer TV subscription: It is worth it to see all the incredible warhammer stories and animations they have there that you can't see anywhere else. However, you will not be able to react to any of it on youtube without taking the wrath of GW. My advice; get a subscription, watch the animations, and then when your done, cancel your subscription.
Am I the only one who remembers, "Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie"? was it perfect no but, non the less it's still a Warhammer 40k movie please check it out if you haven't. 🙂
DeeBeeGeek react to Pariah Nexus it is Warhammer 40,000 Animated series has 3 Episodes. This is official cinematics from Warhammer+. I also recommend these short videos of Tyranid first contact and Genestealer Cult story, latter is a lot more like a horror story if anything. 😏 Tyranid first contact is from Luetin09 and Genestealer cult story is from Warrior Tier.
We're not letting you leave the 40k rabbit hole until you've streamed a Warhammer Figurine painting stream.
Blessed be the holy paint on which upon we draw our strength.
May your brush never dry up on you.
Let’s at least see a JoyToy space marine up on that shelf behind you!
and a batrep!
He will paint a Space Marine or he will be sent to the sisters to become a penitent engine.

@AnnihilatedHope Rynn's world is my Favourite novel from the Space Marine Battles series, Alessio Cortez is a great character as well as Kantor's excellent portrayal 👍
That was a statue of Roboute Guilliman. Lord Commander of the Imperium and Primarch of the Ultramarines... funny enough none of those three marines are from his line ;)
if they are ultramarines,i think they would have kneel before the statue
A Crimson Fist Intercessor, a Black Templars Bladeguard Veteran, and a Space Wolves Reiver, against Flayed Ones and a Skorpekh Destroyer.
the guy who produced this also made a really good animation called the lord inquisitor it takes place on holy terra (earth) and is a good watch.
The statue is a statue of Guilliman
Im really enjoying your 40k journey. I vote Yes to subscribing to warhammertv and reacting to their animations especially Angels of death, pariah nexus and the tithes
Seconded
Yes it's absolutely worth it to get warhammer plus. Even if it's only for a month or two to watch the shows that are on there. You wanted another full length 40k movie. Go watch angels of death. Its even by the same guy that made the helsreach movie. While they're somewhat lacking in quantity, what's there is quality.
6:03 thats not a chaplain, thats a reiver
Reaver!
I think the Wolves call them 'Hounds of Morkai'. They've just got to be different 😂
Understandable that he got it wrong tho, I really hate that GW gave Reivers skull masks, makes it confusing for newcomers and takes away from Chaplins' unique look.
@@NordisktLejon I like the helms but hadn’t thought of it that way. Good point.
@@Dave_from_Technical They have reivers, hounds of morkai are a unique Phobos unit that hunt sorcerers.

@NordisktLejon who says they didn't destroy that statue after the camera roll.
The Deathwatch is the Chapter Militant of the Ordo Xenos. Basically space marines from various chapters on loan to the Inquisition.
The Imperial Fists, despite having been wiped out once, are still around. That was a Crimson Fist though, which, like the Black Templars, is a second founding successor chapter of the Imperial Fists. The Crimson Fists were sort of the poster boys for the early days of first edition Warhammer 40k.
Really need to check out the director, Erasmus Brosdau, original fan film "the Lord Inquisitor".
3:37 a Crimson Fist and a Black Templar sons of Primarch Rogal Dorn.
6:03 a Space Wolf a son of the Primarch Leman Russ.
6:36 that is a statue of the Lord Commander himself the Ultramarines Primarch Roboute Guilliman.
There is a full animated movie on warhammer plus called angels of death. Its what richard boylan (helsreach movie) did for gw after they hired him. You can watch the ten episodes separately or they put a version up thats all one long 2.5hr movie instead of individual episodes. Then theres also several prequel episodes that give you some more background on the characters.
Pretty much all the shows on there are damn good. Its definitely worth subbing for a month or two to watch the shows.
The Interrogator series is fantastic!
@nomindsyndicate5167 i concur! Thats honestly one that I thought might not be that good but I was wrong. I really enjoyed it.
Good god almighty it’s a space wolf with the steel chair!
I'm glad Death Watch is getting more love. They're so cool, and have so much potential for cool stories, but GW does fuck all with them.
Fun fact: you have seen a two different deranged Necron units that are shunned by their overlords for their mandness within.
A bunch of *Flayed Ones* and a large *Destroyer Lord* cultists.
Flayed ones desire to consume flesh despite not having organic mouths to put the meat in.
Destroy cultists have OP weoponary to destroy everyone. It is said when all of the enemies of the Necron Empire have fallen the Tomblords fear that the Destroyer cultists will point their guns at each other or superiors for pleasure or sport.
Deathwatch is a private chapter for the Inquisition, specifically Ordo Xenos, a branch that investigates and deals with alien threats to the Imperium. There are nearly no permanent Deathwatch members, other chapters will send veterans to the Deathwatch to serve them for a designated period of time, then return to their home chapter. Or space marines with dishonorable origins will offer there service as a black shield with no questions asked.
The blue and red fist on the pauldron is the emblem for the Crimson Fists, a popular successor of the Imperial Fists, the other was a Black Templar, and the last being a Space Wolf
Straight away, yep that's a statue of Big Bobby G :)
The marines are a Black Templars Bladeguard Veteran (bulwark in SM2), a Crimson Fists Intercessor (tactical) and a Space Wolves Reiver (vanguard)
And they are fighting some Flayed Ones and a Skorpekh Lord (that thing is SCARY)
Both of them are loathed by the other necrons, the flayed ones because they are infected with the flayer virus (which drives them insane with lust for blood and gore) and the skorpekh lord because they belong to the destroyer cult (kind a of a sub-faction of necrons whose minds became so twisted that their only purpose is to cleanse the universe of organic life)
The deathwatch is not so much a chapter onto itself but a specialist side formation created to essentially be the ultimate xeno-hunters across the galaxy.
They are the ordo-militant of the Ordo Xeno’s of the Inquisition.
The Deathwatch itself recruits from all Chapters within the Adeptus Astartes.
Some see it as a honour posting being sent here to both pass on their skills and xeno hunting knowledge to fellow battle brothers from other chapters, while in exchange learning too.
Others see it as a waste of battle brothers and either fully refuse to participate or will send their more problematic battle brothers here as essentially a death sentence (as the Deathwatch usually take on missions that can be described as… very unlikely to return).
Others use it as a place of penance sending marines they believe who need to either lean more restraint, forgiveness for a crime committed in he chapters name/untowards the chapter, brotherhood, etc.
As such within one single deathwatch squad you can find everything.
A Black Templar assault marine
A Blood Angels Devastator
A Iron Hands Techpriest
A Red Scorpion Apothecary
A Carcharodon Tactical Marine
Etc, etc. each Kill Team is unique and many will usually serve together for many decades to even centuries with brothers coming and going from casualties or their time in the watch being done.
This also as above doesn’t just donote to their single “class” either. Unlike standard chapters where a tactical marine will serve in a tactical squad, in the deathwatch brothers of different class can be put together as to help give the most option available for their missions - I.e. devastators to help lay down fire support/bring the bring weapons, the tactical all rounder, assault marines to get stick in, librarians to bring the warp, chaplains to bring the spirit, apothecary’s and tech priests to being their own expertise, dreadnaughts for wisdom and steel, terminators for brining that unwavering tank, etc.
- note this also semi-applies to the Deathwatch armouries too. As while stuff like Relics are less like it to be handed out willy-nilly, the rest of the armoury is fully available for all brothers.
So every battle brother in the watch can bring what he believes he will need to the field of battle.
It is to note. Due to such a melding of so many different chapters and cultures, there can sometimes be… friction in some squads. Yes they’ll always make sure to try and put the most appropriate brother into the most appropriate situation, I.e.
They’ll likely put the Black Templar, Minotaur, Flesh Tearer, Dark Angel and Carcharodon together;
While the Imperial Fist, Ultramarine, Crimson Fist, Salamander and Blood Angel together due to temperament and such.
Tho this isn’t always possible or the case and you can have a squad where you have rivalries or clashing ego’s and cultures (tho this is sometimes intentional, as ways to teach members to learn to trust and bond and accept their brothers and their traditions just as much as their own - a great example I remember from a book is an Ultramarine serving alongside a Black Templar who both massively clash with one another, however, it’s noted that centuries on after the Black Templar had fallen, said Ultramarine even after returning to his chapter took the tradition of the Black Templar to chain his blade to himself in honour of his former brother who he mourns the loss of).
And again there are chapter rivalries both good and bad. Such as the more boastful and teasing one between the White Scars and Raven Guard, to the physical one between the Space Wolves and Dark Angels - and even inter legion ones from how more codex compliant ultramarine successors may look upon non codex compliant ultramarine successors with disdain, disapproval or worse)
The only major rule that restricts the formation of a Kill Team is that it should never contain more than 1 battle brother of any chapter.
I.e. you won’t get two Imperial Fist on the same Kill Team. A team made fully of Imperial Fist successor chapters… fair. But just the one chapter. No.
This is to avoid teams being essentially run by a single chapter and stops the potential of any one subculture becoming to dominant - and should one fall to treachery, it’s less likely to convert 4 brothers of other chapters than several of his own.
The only three major exceptions to this set of rules are:
1. Black Shields. Essentially battle brothers who completely hide/re-sind their own chapter heraldry for animosity. As such their battle brother instead of wearing the usual 1 silver pauldron of the Deathwatch and 1 bearing their old chapter heraldry, they will instead bear a fully black pauldron in said heraldry’s place and maybe chains and rags in representation of hidden secret.
These battle brothers can earn themselves redemption back into their old chapters tho rare. Majority usually instead sell their lives the most to complete objectives as a form of redemption for both themselves and their crimes that forced them to take the black shield.
- usually the vast majority of black shields are either battle brother serving out penance from their own chapter after committing a major act or heresy or crime. Or also quite a few ex-traitors or battle brothers who have remained loyal but whose chapter have turned to chaos. As such these brother go in essentially fully ready to sell their lives dearly.
2. Kill-Marines. These are very rare within the Deathwatch but are essentially Solo-Operators. Either due to their skills and abilities better suited for solo operations (such as stealth and assassination and infiltration and such) or are brothers who’s complete lack of ability to bond with other brothers and such has made it much easier to just send them solo on mission than deal with all the fallout and drama.
As such these guys operate alone and are usually sent on deep recon operations or century long assassination missions or infiltration missions of sites the deathwatch wish to keep track of.
A Kill Marine can be returned to standard service within a Kill Team but interestingly most of the time they’ll usually be found operating within Inquisitorial retinues or even Rouge Trader retinues due to their solo freedom of operation and command.
3. Brothers who fully sign to the Deathwatch. While usually the vast majority of those sent to the deathwatch are only there for a small period of time before they’ll either be released back to the chapter in rotation of the next wave of battle brothers to the watch, or can even request transfer back due to chapter need and necessity, etc.
But for some the Deathwatch is their new home. Either due to a non-wish to abandon his brothers still in the watch, or a fully bonded commitment to the watch itself and its wish to purge the xeno completely, or through wish to be the long striding veteran who can pass on his knowledge to generations of battle brothers who come to his squad - there is again example of this of a Raven Guard Successor I believe who essentially promised himself as a full time Watch Sergeant so he could forever help be the teaching influence of future Raven Guard, Salamander, Iron Hand and White Scar’s who come to the watch and can be their to help bond these battle brothers through their shared history and rivalry’s of their chapters. And this is done in honour of his own battle brothers from his old Kill Team who have either returned to their chapters and are usually the ones to help send said watch fortress said battle brothers, or have are no longer with him due to falling in service of the watch.
As such while these brother continue to bear their heraldry (tho there are known examples of Watch Captains and even Watch Masters who have been Black Shields before) they will also never return to their chapter and will instead remain permanently attached to the Deathwatch. These battle brothers are usually what make up the senior levels of the Deathwatch with practically all Watch Captains and Watch Masters having taken this oath to forever serve the Watch and a lot of Watch Sergeants are also of this same credo (as are also alot of Kill-Marines and Black Shields).
Auxiliary services such as Apothecary’s and Techmarines are also common ones to remain permanently attached to the Deathwatch
But personally. If you want the best way of learning about the Deathwatch fine someone with a link to the old Fantasy Flight Games Deathwatch Rulebook and expansions as they go deep into lore about all of this and who each chapter sees the watch and how a battle brother can end up their through all sorts or situations.
Small edit and addition:
For battle brother who serve in the watch and return, it is standard for them to carry back their deathwatch pauldron as a way to show their service inside the watch but also as a personal totem/relic to remind them of their service.
It’s also quite common for battle brothers to actually continue to wear it even after service and returning to their chapter.
- another common example of this is battle brother continuing to paint one arm silver in remembrance of their service too.
You Gotta watch the 2023 "Iron Within short" its like this one but it shows chaos marines! its super Cinematic dude, you would shit yourself.
As much as I love this animation, they did my boy the Skorpekh Lord dirty.
Deathwatch techinically is not a chapter. They are more like an anti-xenos joint task force that work for the inquisition.
The most unqiue thing about Deathwatch is that they made up of Elite Space Marine from various Chapters. This allow Space marine from the various chapter to exchange culture and tactics (for example, Black Templar attached their weapon to their right hand using a chain. This is why in SM2, you can see Titus have a chain on his right hand even when he have return to the Ultramarine)
Space marine view it as a great honor to be selected and serve the Deathwatch but service is not permenant. After a specific time, they can return back to their original chapter if they survive. Most of Deathwatch mission is very dangerous because they usually send behind enemy lines. Infact, a squad of Deathwatch is called a Killteam
the uniform/colour of Deathwatch marine is simple, black for most part except for the left hand (grey colour), left shoulder (grey Deathwatch pouldron) and right shoulder (original chapter logo).
In this video, you see three deathwatch members from the following chapter : Crimson Fist, Black Templar, Space Wolves
In SM2 prologue, we see 5 Deathwatch marine from the following chapter: Titus (Ultramarine but serve as a blackshield: a marine without a chapter), Dark Angel, Black Templar, Space Wolves, Blood Angel
On the gaming side of things, the amazingly zen "Power Wash Simulator" has a DLC where you get to clean the grime off of various Imperial hardware (Land Raider, Dreadnought, Imperial Knight, etc). The attention to detail on the various vehicles is top notch. They even have them in a huge Mechanicus maintenance bay.
Worth checking out if you want to get a close look at some of the vehicles or, at the very least, want a change of pace.
Ok, so for animations you have yet to react to, here's a list.
9th Edition Trailer
Killteam Trailer (2021)
Killteam Trailer (2024)
DarkTide Teaser Trailer and World Intro trailer
Dawn of War 1, 2 and 3 Cinematic Trailers
Pariah Nexus (Warhammer+)
The Tithes (Warhammer+)
Iron Within (Warhammer+)
Hammer and Bolter (Warhammer+)
Fan made Stuff:

Siege by SODAZ (reuploaded)
Black Templar by SODAZ (reuploaded)
Plague by SODAZ (reuploaded)
Legacy by SODAZ (reuploaded)
Atleast, there's the ones i can think of, I know there's alot more game trailers
If your looking for more official GW cinematics recommend The 9th edition trailer and all the kill team trailers!!
The first few Necrons you see are Flayers. They have corrupted programing that makes them want to wear flesh like they did when they were alive.
Almost perfect, but they nerfed that destroyer into heck.
Right off the bat, I got no idea about the subscription shenanigans.
the most polite black templar ever....
If you want another "movie" reaction the only other we can recommend is "The last Church"
Absolutely. That's a superb recommendation!
Hey dee, I would love to see you react to the "killteam" 2021 trailer and then to luetin's video about the deathkorp of krieg
DB you should do a poll for your next FORTIE KAY reaction
this is it ladies and gents, the Emperor has got control of him
Bro you need to watch the dawn of war 1, 2 and 3 trailers! There all peak 40k
i heard that warhammer+ is definitely worth it for a month or two, during which you watch all the stuff thats on it, then you cancel your sub until they got some new animations on there.
that is unless you want the special miniature they offer for a year sub, which is actually not a bad deal iirc, but obviously you gotta be kinda deep in The Hobby.
for animations, i dont remember if you watched them, but if not, you should check out SODAZ animations:
・Death Korps of Krieg by 워해머 SODAZ
・워해머,Warhammer40k Siege
・워해머,Warhammer40K Black Templar
・워해머,Warhammer40k Plague
・워해머,Warhammer 40k Deploy
in addition:
・Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2 intro cinematic complete prologue intro & BFG2 - Fall of Cadia (wish there was a video that would combine the two, but cant find any)
・GUARDSMAN - 2018
Take a look on "The last Church" it's a story about the Emperor
Take also a look on "If The Emperor had a Text-to-Speech device"
It's awesome 😂
And check out the Cinematics of The Warhammer40k Games like Dawn of War
Btw. you'll love Warhammer Fantasy too😉
For exemple: TotalWarWarhammer Cinematics 😁👍
Thank you for uploading giving me something to watch while in the hospital
"Death of Hope" 💀🙂
one thing thats worth it is Pariah Nexus, if you could react to that it would be great :) only 3 episodes long
That last marine with the skull mask is a Reiver, not Chaplain. They specialize in close combat, infiltration, and terror tactics.
7:00
There is a feature-length animated movie, with big names in it. It's just considered not very good by the fanbase. ("Ultramarines", if you're curious)
FORTYKAAAAAAAAY (VIN-YET is how it's pronounced)
So in Lore, the Astartes have literally incredible, ridiculous Teamwork(tm). They don't call each other brothers JUST because of their gene relation, they serve in the same dedicated squads for potentially their entire lives (unless promoted to dead or up in the ranks). They know exactly what their brothers will do and what each others silent body language means, they can anticipate each other better than a couple that have been married 50 years.
In the last few years GW has been trying to nail this point home in their siege of terra series. The custodes are Lions and Astartes are wolves.
Check out "the last church"
YESSSS WARHAMMER!!! We welcome you brother 🐝
"The Last Church: Tyber Portoghese's Iconic Animation". Great to react from a great 40k book
The Deathwatch are cool but the Gray Knights and the Custodies are both more cool Then the Deathwatch in my Opinion
I hope they do another full length animated movie too. After they shot themselves in the foot with Ultramarine at least they now have a really good animation team who can give it what it needs :)
Those necrons you have seen are a bit special. They have a special decease or plague.
Those smaller necrons are Flayed Ones. They have flayer plague. Infected necrons gradually loose sense of themselves, fall into madness and perpetual hunger for flesh, which they can never satiate because they have no mouth or any part of a feeding tract.
The big one was a type of a Destroyer. Those necrons have Destroyer plague. It makes them to hate any form of life. They abandon they original humanoid form to distance themselves from their living past and to become as much proficient as rhey can at exterminating life. After every won battle for a planet they do their extermination job thoroughly to even microbial level.
Those infected are shund by other necrons if not shot on a spot. But sometimes they are still used in battle although as far away from other necrons as possible. As Necrons don't have cure for these deceases.
not a chaplain, they wear all black and have a special mace weapon. It's a space wolf in Phobos armor with a Reiver helmet
Vignette = vin yet
Warhammer+ costs like 6Euro, you can sub and unsub after watching the good stuff like Pariah Nexus and The Tithe (both really good), Broken Lance (Knights!), Angels of Death (same guy who made Helsreach, the sounds effects are a bit wack but otherwise good), Iron Within (casual Iron Warrior W), The Exodite (space communist weeaboos in 3rd), and Interrogator (I'm a sucker for cliche Detective Noir and this one was great)
Dawn of War 1,2,3 cinematics are great. Then there's the 8th edition cinematic, Kill team cinematics. I hope someone gives you a full list!
This cinematic is great, the way its animated reminds me a LOT of Harryhausen, as if they took the real figurines and did stop motion with them.
Im calling it now
When they do Space Marine 3 (theyve already confirmed that it is in the works), we will likely get Tyrannids, Necrons, and im HOPING for a civil war type deal with a neighbouring primark and their faction, so we get some marine on marine action! Itll be great to have that level of representation in a modern game outside of the Total War Warhammer titles.
good to see erasmus in the credits
Another reaction you could do is another Luetin video maybe orks-War is Life to know more about them?
No Chaplain, it's either a Reiver or a Hound of Morkai.
So as a member of the death watch if the individual so chooses they are allowed to represent their original chapter on their right shoulder. As in this video a Black Templar, Crimson fist and a Space Wolf all under the banner of the death watch with identical armor save for their right pauldrons
In space marine 2 during the prolog Titus (as a black shield did not do this) his right shoulder was covered by a cloth
This is entirely Imperial Propaganda, a Skorpekh Lord would absolutely body some random Space Marines
I'd reccomend dawn of war 2 as something to do next, dow1 is a bit dated boltgun is doom to it's core, but dow2 especially the base game and first expansion chaos rising is fairly compelling
If you want to deep dive the space marine legions I would highly recommend, "Baldermort's guide to warhammer 40k" , "The Remembrancer" , and "The Amber King". They are all great storytellers and do a great job explaining the lore. I suggest Baldermorts vid on the nightlords first :). been enjoying the 40k reactions, thank you.
You have to watch Pariah Nexus!! It’s basically short animated episodes following the story of a Salamander and a Sister of Battle.
Angels of death and its spin off bits are great
Ohhh well. The problem is they did make an animated movie called Ultramarine and it didn't do very well. It's been remastered now but if you can see the original release I'd suggest checking it out just for historical context if nothing else.
Also, Deathwatch lore could be a great next shout. Im currently reading Deathwatch as I saw this pop up on my phone 😅
Stuff to react: Pariah Nexus Series.
A little Series about a Salamander, Sister of battle some Necrons.
But there sadly isn´t one single video, instead there are litte 15 parts, but luckily they are all on the same channel
on warhammer+ there is some good animation stuff to check out: angels of death (blood angels focused), tithes (a 3 episode anothligy on some bits in the imprium).
for other cinimatics, check out the dawn of war cinimatic, it was huge when it came out and as we reaactly learnt the director of that is the guy behind the upcomming secret level series (even noting that cinematic was his firt directing job)
Check out Sodaz Warhammer animations
He gotta watch the offical ones, he still hasesnt seen Iron within or Pariah nexus
Seconded - they're great stuff.
For the Emperor!
1:33 If you like deathwatch armor you need to look up more on the Grey Knights, if you want to play a videogame and learn more about the Grey Knights you can play Chaosgate: Daemonhunter.
Looking forward to the Boltgun video. You may have to separate it into a few parts because there's a great DLC for it with even more story to get through, so it's pretty big now.
Those lads with the red fists on the pauldron and black cross are the crimson fists and black templars respectively
Both are descendants of the Imperial Fists legion, Templars you know already.
Crimson Fists are Imperial Fists if they acted like Ultramarines
Man it's been 9 days, what happened to him?
MOOAARRR!!!!!!! There’s a ultramarine movie cinematic about an hour long literally just called “ultramarine”
Is that the one with pertwee, stamp and hurt doing the voices? Such a good movie
My bad. Just clicked on your link and answered my own question lol
@@austinwiththehat WE MARCH FOR MACRAGGE AND WE SHALL KNOW NO FEAR FOR THE GLORY OF ULTRAMAR COURAGE AND HONOR
There are some great shows on Warhammer +, you can probably binge watch them all in 1 months worth of sub easy so in that respect, yes its probably worth it as there are some great series on there. The tithes, hammer and bolter, and Pariah are all excellent
There is the full length Ultramarines movie (2010). Not the best quality, but there you go.
who else wouldve jumped from the roof with a knife, ofcourse its a viking
6:57 good question! 😠
That wasn’t a Chaplain that was a Vanguard
With warhammer+ you can pay month by month, so you could grab a month watch some stuff and see how you feel. There is a full movie that you can find on youtube, called Ultramarine, but the technology wasn't there yet and it was not very well done (some big name voices in it though), hence it was not well received. I think that made GW a little gun-shy in making another. There is also Death of Hope, which you might enjoy, though that is super dark and kind of depressing.
Erasmus Brosdau original fan film "the Lord Inquisitor". ⭐🙂👍
Angels of Death - just watch 10 episod's and 3 extra episod's
I'd love to see you learn about Lord Commander Dante and the Devastation of Baal
Up to you whether you want to pay up for Warhammer+ but there are multiple hours worth of official animations on there. the full cut of Angels of Death (made by the Hellsreach guy) is i think over 2 hours long and that's just 1 of the animations on there
"vin-yet"
Games Workshop did release a CGI movie back in 2010 called 'Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie'. The general consensus is that the movie was bad. The animations really janky compared to today's offerings and while it was voiced by the likes of Sean Pertwee and John Hurt, the story was forgettable and there was a lot of lore discrepancies that were firmly established in canon at the time.
Also, I wouldn't do a full live reaction to any of the Warhammer TV animations; GW is very protective of their IP (they've gone after a lot of fan animation projects when they realized how much interest there was) and they may copyright strike your channel
I would say Warhammer+ is worth getting for 1 month and watching/recording reactions for all of them. The only ones that I would say are worth watching are Iron Within, Angels of Death, Broken Lance, Pariah Nexus, Tithes (Nexus and this are connected and are best quality out of the ones recommended) and upcoming (maybe already released, didn't check on it) Kill Lupercal.
I honestly prefer a warhammer 40k series with this animation rather than live action
There is an official cinematic movie that was made several years ago called “Ultramarines.” It’s not very good though and also gives us one of the worst portrayals of Astartes.
It shows them as just being tough guys in armor and nothing more. Many of these cinematic do this unfortunately. We have yet to get a cinematic that accurately shows the incredible skill, speed and other superhuman abilities of Astartes as described in official lore.
Warhammer+ slowly becomes worth it in my opinion. If for nothing else i would subscribe for "The Tithes", a three part miniseries which is top notch.
You should check out tts behemoth. It's a warhammer 40k parody of the tryaind wars and how the crazy deathwatch deals with them.
Next, Grey Knights
Warhammer+ is worth it for all the animated series on there, but it’s very difficult to post reactions and have them allow it.
MOAH BOAH
I would like to recommend you a channel called Rufus Juice. The guy does just GREAT voiceovers of fragments from warhammer books. They're also pretty short- mostly 2 to 5 minutes, if you're worried about it. I would love to see you react to it. Maybe even as sidecick to some other short video
The two videos that I like the most -
Guilliman, Lorgar and Angron from "Betrayer" - A40k Dramatic Reading
Rogal Dorn and Fulgrim Confrontation from "Saturnine" - A 40k Dramatic Reading
In regards to the warhammer TV subscription:
It is worth it to see all the incredible warhammer stories and animations they have there that you can't see anywhere else.
However, you will not be able to react to any of it on youtube without taking the wrath of GW.
My advice; get a subscription, watch the animations, and then when your done, cancel your subscription.
Am I the only one who remembers, "Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie"? was it perfect no but, non the less it's still a Warhammer 40k movie please check it out if you haven't. 🙂
DeeBeeGeek react to Pariah Nexus it is Warhammer 40,000 Animated series has 3 Episodes. This is official cinematics from Warhammer+. I also recommend these short videos of Tyranid first contact and Genestealer Cult story, latter is a lot more like a horror story if anything. 😏 Tyranid first contact is from Luetin09 and Genestealer cult story is from Warrior Tier.
Have you seen the Warhammer 40k "The Tithes"? Or "Pariah Nexus"?
Warhammer+ is okay to binge watch it once but not for the yearly. If you dont want the special model each year
