13:41 the Power sword is an interesting weapon in lore. Where Chain weapons rely on mechanics to slice through their target, the Power sword works by using a field that surrounds and moulds itself in the shape of the blade you see. This field can effectively cut through just about anything with ease, though naturally the weapon is harder to come across for this very reason, and is most often used and given to those of notable skill and prestige.. Whenever you see a weapon that looks relatively normal (compared to a Chain sword or gain axe) chances are it’s a powered weapon of a similar qualities.
I know you watched Bricky’s Lore and Faction vid, I hope you watch his “All Space Marine Legions” vid, so we can know which chapter you feel you belong to. I’m a Space Wolf, myself.

Quick heads up on space marines, that wasn't mentioned by Bricky: ◾After Horus Heresy, those Adeptus Astartes (aka Space Marines) legions that remained loyal, were split into smaller groups called chapters (like knight chapters), so a civil war of that scale could never happen again. One chapter per each legion inherited their legion's heraldry, symbol and name, while other successor chapters came up with their own colours and traditions. E.g. Ultramarines chapter inherited the Ultramarines legion's blue colour scheme and omega symbol, but there are dozens of other Ultramarines legion successors in 41st millenium. Some chapters do not even know which legion they came from, their origins were lost in the millenniae past, or became a secret at some point. ◾Each chapter usually consists of about 1000 brothers on duty, supplied with vehicles, dreadnought walkers, fleets of spaceships, and human personnel. Each chapter usually consists of 10 companies, about 100 men strong, each led by captain and lieutenant. The highest ranking space marine commanding over the entire chapter is (usually) called a chapter master. So, the chain of command goes like: Chapter Master → Captains → Lieutenants → Sergeants → Regular Marines. Each chapter operates independently from The Imperium's administration and other chapters. ◾Chapters recruit newcomers from regular humans. They pick young teenagers at the age of about 13, with strong spirit and good survival skills. The trials vary from chapter to chapter, but that ~1% of candidates that pass, in the coming years will also have to survive series of surgeries to implant new organs (extra heart and lung for example) and mix their DNA with one of the primarchs. Through the next decades, with intense training, numerous trials, psychic conditioning they grow into 7-8 feet fully grown Astartes, with strength and toughness of a living tank, enhanced reflexes, regeneration and adamant will. Each chapter usually has at least one planet as the base of their operations, production and recruitment center, but some prefer to migrate on a flagship or a fleet, gathering recruits from populated worlds of The Imperium. ◾Space marines usually live a few hundred years, but none of them die of old age - the life of each Astartes ends in a glorious battle, surrounded by piles of enemy bodies, while he was fulfilling some crucial mission and/or sacrificing his life for his battle brothers. ◾Power Armour is a sealed armoured suit that runs in its own reactor to power its targeting systems and artificial fiber-muscles, so it does not slow but rather empowers the marine's already inhuman strength, speed and awareness. The armour is connected to Astartes' nervous system via ports in their skin, as shown ingame. Regular power armour weighs approximately 600 pounds (300 kilos), about as much as the Astartes wearing it. ◾Sometimes mortally wounded Astartes in adequate condition get the honour to become a dreadnought (essentially a life support system inside a huge walking mech) and spend the rest of their life mostly in hibernation that slows down deterioration of their bodies and minds, so they can be awakened in times of need to help their brethren in combat. All of them are heroes of the past, that are excellent in both fighting and talking boomer stories about the good old days. ◾Bonus fact: The Ultramarines' name is a tripple pun: they are marines, their colour is close to ultramarine blue, and they are based in a system called Ultramar. The Primarch of Ultramarines is Roboute Guilliman. (Pardon my English, I'm not a native speaker)

So the Power Sword has two different modes which you activate by holding the attack button while you're not in an attack chain. The charged state is for dealing with hordes and doing mad crowd control and the uncharged state is for single targets like against the Warriors.
The multi-melta is a one-use heavy weapon, like the heavy bolter. You pick it up and use it ON TOP of your loadout, so if you switch weapon you'll just drop it and get back to your loadout. It works like when you rip miniguns from turrets in halo, use them and then just drop them when they're empty.
Aye. It's a bugger to fight off the haggis swarms. Many of the accents are in WH40K are British based. Might have something to do with Game Workshop being from the UK. I don't think I've ever heard an American style accent in the games.
The Aeldari actually do have gods. Or, used to. When Slaanesh was born, it devoured most of their pantheon, leaving only two survivors. Cegorach, the Laughing God, and Isha, Goddess of Life. Cegorach currently guards the Black Library, while Isha is held captive by Nurgle.
The captain at 55:20 was not actually on a power trip. At the end she muttered, "Their authority", possibly referring to the tyranid hive mind. That captain may have been corrupted by the tyranids or been a fledgling genestealer.
Seems you may need to get used to that 'white' health bar. When you get damaged (usually by loads of shooting attackers) Your health bar turns from red to white. WHILE IT's STILL WHITE, attack attack attack, as you can recover that lost health just by doing ANY damage of any kind. Before the white bar disappears. It's like in DOOM, you are rewarded for staying agressive and in the fight. The more you panic, dodge and run away, the quicker you just get nickle-and-dimed to death by every little bit of damage you take. KEEP FIGHTING! :P
I've noticed a pattern of falling back or not holding them at a good chokepoint, it was really apparent at the reactor where you seemingly refused to even try to keep them from climbing up onto the platform which is the BEST places to do crowd control with a melta or grenades
The Eldar had a whole pantheon, but Slaanesh ate them all. There are technically four left alive Kaila Mensha Khaine: God of War: Shattered into pieces by Khorne, Avatars can be summoned to aid in battle Isha: Goddess of Life: Kidnapped and imprisoned by Nurgle, who's in love with her.

The multi-melta (and heavy bolter) does not replace your primary weapon. It has a limited amount of ammunition, and you can not pick up more. You carry it until you drop it by switching weapons, or you run out of ammo.
As somebody who's really only known warhammer via memes, my first personal delve into the lore was this game, it's been cool figuring things out along side you in your reaction videos.
+ P.S. I recommend the Warrior Tier channel. Brilliant short stories WH40K in the first person. Masterpieces (Custodes, Genestealer Cults, Krieg, Tyranids)
6:32 - If you knew about how Space Marine 1 ended, you'd understand what was going on here better. Also, if my suspicions about that Chaplain are correct, his animosity towards Titus makes perfect sense. 9:24 - While the Chainsword is the poster boy and workhorse of Space Marine melee weapons, the Power Sword is the status symbol. It's a standard sword made with space-age materials, but it's key feature is the Disruptor Field that encases it when activated. The field tears matter apart on the molecular level, making a Power Sword much better at penetrating armor and tough hide than a chainsword. Power Swords are typically used by squad sergeants and command rank Marines. 10:41 - KAH-ji-tate-or. The 40K word for 'computer.' It comes from the Latin 'cogitare' meaning 'think.' 13:29 - What happened to the 'Parry God'? 54:14 - The Emperor was atheist. Or at least he tried to make Humanity atheist. Of course, that's because he was trying to starve the Chaos Gods, so that doesn't quite count. The T'au have such weak psychic presence that most demons can't even see them, and they treat demons like they're some kind of 'warp alien.' The T'au don't even use Warp travel. Of course, there are indications that the T'au Empire's non-T'au species just might be creating a 'goddess of the Greater Good' with their belief in the principle. 57:55 - 'Blackstone Research.' This can't be good... 58:00 - 'Graia.' 'Drogan.' Oh, sh#@. 1:16:09 - It has EV-ER-Y-THING to do with Titus. You need to find out about the events of the first game before you get too much deeper into this. 1:16:42 - If you knew Guilliman, you wouldn't be saying that. From what I've seen on other videos, Zoanthropes (the flying force field brains) are easy to take out with one thing: Krak Grenades. Stick one with a Krak and it'll immediately fall to where you can melee it to death. Just try to locate some Kraks whenever you enter a large battle zone and get them once the Zoeys appear.
I loved his "somebodies on a power trip" after listening to the one data slate. My man doesn't know about genestealers yet. Either that or she was a chaos cultist
As far as your atheists question: In the Pre-Horus Heresy era, the Imperium were hardcore atheists. The "Imperial Creed" that they were spreading was that there were no gods, no magic, only science. Now, this was actually a lie and the Emperor knew it but the Emperor also knew that if everyone stopped believing it would weaken the gods of Chaos tremendously. The Word Bearers disagreed with this and Lorgar wrote essentially a bible saying "The Emperor is actually a god". Emps didn't like that and put a hard smackdown on the Word Bearers. After that, they turned to Chaos and then Horus decided to be a whiny jerk and then there was a bit of a civil war blah blah blah. Other things happened and 10 thousand years later that bible that Lorgar wrote became the Emperor worshiping religion you see all over 40K.
i also recommend lutein09, weshammer, majorkill for more detailed explaination and my favorite faction is the tau, especialy the farsight enclave basically the only good guys in warhammer 40k
@@Lord_Numpty I'd say tau the is the lesser evil because if I was in 40k universe I would immediately be part of the banner of greater good because of the better living situation for a standard human
If you wanna know what it's like for the regular humans to fight the horrible enemies of 40k, you should try another good recent 40k game called Warhammer Darktide
the Tau are atheist for the most part but they will tolerate everyone else's religion as long as you fit into "The Greater Good". The ethereals got pissed when they accidentally got lost in the warp and encountered a friendly being that seem to be the manifestation of " the Greater Will" in the warp.
So with the chain mission. Don't expect your NPC Brothers to do any mission critical objectives. They will do minor crowd control at best but all the stuff that actually matters will fall on you hahaha.
You should remember to check out the combo list for the weapons you pick up. The power sword has two modes for example (that you switch between by holding r1). The first mode being better for single target and the second being a power mode built for sweeping hordes.
Have't finished the video yet, so don't know if you find out about it eventually or not. But the power sword: Has 2 modes, one for 1v1 and one for hordes; The strong attack after a light attack is a 2 hit strong attack chain; After a light attack, wait for Titus to bring the sword back and for it to flash, then do another light attack for a surprise.
54:28 Fabius, mother*bleep*ing Bile. Also, the emperor of mankind himself technically. Cuz he never wanted to be worshipped as a god. He tried to lead humanity through belief in science and worldly knowledge, not superstition. Specifying that he is a man not a god. Sure, he used religion as a means to gain power. But once he got it, he banned religion. It's only after getting to be a corpse on a throne, and possibly a book from *BLEEP*ING LORGAR, he became revered as a god.
Tau are the only godless faction; they have little presence in the warp and so are unable to create any warp entity. Until they started recruiting humans that is. I suppose the Tyranids are godless as well, depending on what the Hive Mind even is.
55:35 as an addendum for when I mentioned Fabius Bile, seeing as the warp is a collection of every feeling, thoughts, emotions, and souls in general it is possible for a god of unbelief to be made manifested. But remember how Slaanesh was born? Yeah, another chaos god being born may kill an entire planet. If not more. Like say if the emperor eventually dies and possibly becomes the otherwise enigmatic figure called "the dark king".
I'm trash at shooting so I have to live vicariously through others lol so thank you for posting these vids! Also I'm sure you hear this all the time but I love your accent ^_^
Try the heavy bolter! The heavy weapons like the multi-melta and heavy bolter do NOT replace your primary, you carry both. Use all the ammo in the heavy, then ditch it.
The Eldar had a whole pantheon that they could call upon during the war in heaven. Shit happend and the gods are either dead, trapped or gone, roughly around the time of Slaaneshs birth
I think you might benefit from watching a story recap of Space Marine 1. You bascially got the gist of things, but there is some more that context of the previous one would help make your experience of this game more fullfilling.
If you are ever interested in playing as a terminator of the Dark Angels you should give Space Hulk Deathwing a go. You also fight tyranids in that game. Terminators are just like space marines but they another truckload of armor making almost unstoppable.
Minor clarification on the machine spirit etc: The Omnissiah is the Messiah of the Machine Spirit/Machine God, basically the machine Jesus. And They see the Emperor as the Omnissiah. The Machine God however, is the actual God they worship and it is what permates every machine in the form of the machine spirit. (Kinda) Now, not all Inquisitors and Machine Priests agree on this, some Cult Mechanicus see the Machine God and the Ominissiah as the same thing, some don't etc. The Empperor basically made most of Mars agree that he was the Omnissiah, but not all necessarily agree. But generally: Omnissiah = God Empperor and Machine God = The actual God they believe in.
I would recommend watching the recap video of Space Marine 1 and the video about essential lore for SM2 from GameSpot to understand more about the plot of the game. I also recommend to stop watching the essential lore video at 8:30 because there could be spoilers after that mark.
@40:48 "They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them, and in the furnace of war forge them. They will be of iron will and steely muscle. In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest guns will they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them. They will have tactics, strategies and machines so that no foe can best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines and they shall know no fear." - The Emperor of Man
I guess you would like to the new Warhammer 40 000 fan-film The Awakening by Gabriel Cristtiane. It is 59 minutes long and is about Spacemarines fighting Necrons.
Please watch the bricky video explaining all the space marine legions. There’s also an amazing short cinematic Horus heresy video which is even better quality than the astartes one you reacted to.
Atheists in Warhammer? The Emperor of Man, his Custodes and trusted advisors, and his loyalist Primarchs. Space Marines can also be Atheist since many of them follow the Emperor's original Atheistic teachings, though some groups of Space Marines do choose to worship the Emperor as dictated by the Ecclesiarchy. The Emperor spread atheistic teachings in an attempt to prevent the worship of the Chaos Gods from taking root in his new Imperium, and even went so far as to eradicate every preexisting religious faith in Humanity.
"are there any atheist in the world of Warhammer 40k?" Yes, The emperor, he hated religion and banned it from being practiced during the great crusade (reason being to prevent humans from worshipping the chaos gods, c'tans or minor gods, preventing demonic invasions which begin through chaos worshippers opening portals to reality through rituals, or possessions, or simple temptation with chaos fake promises) As for the Eldars (or Aeldari), they have their own pantheon, most of their gods are dead though after the birth into reality of slaanesh (it's a little confusing since the chaos gods are said to have always existed, and never existed at once, i call the birth of slaanesh more of Slaanesh being now able to influence reality rather than her... It's actual birth), and the surviving gods are either shattered (Kaine) or imprisoned (Isha) or simply laughing their ass off (Cegorach)
To clarify, Titus himself handled the fallout of that device being used last time. You should enjoy Space Marine 1 off stream for context before you finish this, or put it on the channel before you finish the new one. Then, Titus's dilemma here would have more dramatic depth and context for you. Plus, Space Marine 1 is a classic with very similar gameplay, and will give you taste of 40k orks. (Bricky did not do the orks justice in his overview. He gives the memes, not the facts.)
Yeah, Eldar made gods so they are absoultly not atheist but to them a god is kind of what it actually is in 40k. A mass of psykic energy representing whatever concept it was born from. It's like lightning to them. It's something to be feared and respected but not really worshipped as we would think of it. Guess atheism is kind of interesting in 40k. If you're talking about atheism as not believing in and worshiping any god then that's current Necrons, Tau, the Emperor and humanity before the Horus Heresy, and the Tyranids I guess. If you're talking about atheism as the disbelief of the existence of a god, then that's only the Tau and only because they don't know any better. Gods absoultly exist in 40k so in that context, if you're an atheist in 40k, your just wrong. I guess also current space marine chapters and a lot of chaos warbands ironically are atheist despite how they act. They don't see the Emperor as a god, just an ideal to look up to and some Chaos boys really view the Chaos Gods as a resource to be used, not worshipped.
I don’t know if this is just aproblem on my end, but your videos aren’t showing up in my subscribed videos. Its only recommended on the youtube home page
BTW I recommend the Warrior Tier channel. Brilliant short stories WH40K in the first person. Masterpieces e.g.: GENESTEALER CULT - A Story Tyranids - We are the Hive - 40k Lore Death Korps of KRIEG TRIBUTE - Warhammer 40k Lore Custodes - The True Sons
diving deep? lol. you have scratched the surface. a pebble in the pond, a ripple in the ocean. get reading. there is never any truly knowing the lore, this isnt star wars.
54:15 In theory, the Tau are supposed to be atheistic, but because of the way that the Warp works, their POLITICAL philosophy began INCARNATING AS A GOD as their empire started to expand. Basically: more people 'believing' in something, whatever that thing is=that thing 'becoming' an actual 'god' that can effect the physical world.
Not quite accurate. For whatever reason, Phil Kelly's books which introduced these concepts stated that it came about when humans literally began worshiping the greater good.
The omnissiah is also the emperor. He tricked the mechanicus so that they think he is that. So they are not actually heretics. They just view him has a different type of god with different name. But in the end the emperor and the omnissiah are the same being. @deebeegeek

Read the last line in an ork voice.
Quick heads up on space marines, that wasn't mentioned by Bricky:
◾After Horus Heresy, those Adeptus Astartes (aka Space Marines) legions that remained loyal, were split into smaller groups called chapters (like knight chapters), so a civil war of that scale could never happen again.
One chapter per each legion inherited their legion's heraldry, symbol and name, while other successor chapters came up with their own colours and traditions. E.g. Ultramarines chapter inherited the Ultramarines legion's blue colour scheme and omega symbol, but there are dozens of other Ultramarines legion successors in 41st millenium.
Some chapters do not even know which legion they came from, their origins were lost in the millenniae past, or became a secret at some point.
◾Each chapter usually consists of about 1000 brothers on duty, supplied with vehicles, dreadnought walkers, fleets of spaceships, and human personnel. Each chapter usually consists of 10 companies, about 100 men strong, each led by captain and lieutenant. The highest ranking space marine commanding over the entire chapter is (usually) called a chapter master.
So, the chain of command goes like: Chapter Master → Captains → Lieutenants → Sergeants → Regular Marines.
Each chapter operates independently from The Imperium's administration and other chapters.
◾Chapters recruit newcomers from regular humans. They pick young teenagers at the age of about 13, with strong spirit and good survival skills. The trials vary from chapter to chapter, but that ~1% of candidates that pass, in the coming years will also have to survive series of surgeries to implant new organs (extra heart and lung for example) and mix their DNA with one of the primarchs. Through the next decades, with intense training, numerous trials, psychic conditioning they grow into 7-8 feet fully grown Astartes, with strength and toughness of a living tank, enhanced reflexes, regeneration and adamant will. Each chapter usually has at least one planet as the base of their operations, production and recruitment center, but some prefer to migrate on a flagship or a fleet, gathering recruits from populated worlds of The Imperium.
◾Space marines usually live a few hundred years, but none of them die of old age - the life of each Astartes ends in a glorious battle, surrounded by piles of enemy bodies, while he was fulfilling some crucial mission and/or sacrificing his life for his battle brothers.
◾Power Armour is a sealed armoured suit that runs in its own reactor to power its targeting systems and artificial fiber-muscles, so it does not slow but rather empowers the marine's already inhuman strength, speed and awareness. The armour is connected to Astartes' nervous system via ports in their skin, as shown ingame. Regular power armour weighs approximately 600 pounds (300 kilos), about as much as the Astartes wearing it.
◾Sometimes mortally wounded Astartes in adequate condition get the honour to become a dreadnought (essentially a life support system inside a huge walking mech) and spend the rest of their life mostly in hibernation that slows down deterioration of their bodies and minds, so they can be awakened in times of need to help their brethren in combat. All of them are heroes of the past, that are excellent in both fighting and talking boomer stories about the good old days.
◾Bonus fact: The Ultramarines' name is a tripple pun: they are marines, their colour is close to ultramarine blue, and they are based in a system called Ultramar. The Primarch of Ultramarines is Roboute Guilliman.

Have you guys seen this new fan made 40k video called The Awakening. It it glorious!!!! Best fan made video I've ever seen.
The necrons are my favourite faction and seeing them in that fan-film was very satisfying.
As somebody who's really only known warhammer via memes, my first personal delve into the lore was this game, it's been cool figuring things out along side you in your reaction videos.

P.S. I recommend the Warrior Tier channel. Brilliant short stories WH40K in the first person. Masterpieces (Custodes, Genestealer Cults, Krieg, Tyranids)
6:32 - If you knew about how Space Marine 1 ended, you'd understand what was going on here better. Also, if my suspicions about that Chaplain are correct, his animosity towards Titus makes perfect sense.
9:24 - While the Chainsword is the poster boy and workhorse of Space Marine melee weapons, the Power Sword is the status symbol. It's a standard sword made with space-age materials, but it's key feature is the Disruptor Field that encases it when activated. The field tears matter apart on the molecular level, making a Power Sword much better at penetrating armor and tough hide than a chainsword. Power Swords are typically used by squad sergeants and command rank Marines.
10:41 - KAH-ji-tate-or. The 40K word for 'computer.' It comes from the Latin 'cogitare' meaning 'think.'
13:29 - What happened to the 'Parry God'?
54:14 - The Emperor was atheist. Or at least he tried to make Humanity atheist. Of course, that's because he was trying to starve the Chaos Gods, so that doesn't quite count. The T'au have such weak psychic presence that most demons can't even see them, and they treat demons like they're some kind of 'warp alien.' The T'au don't even use Warp travel. Of course, there are indications that the T'au Empire's non-T'au species just might be creating a 'goddess of the Greater Good' with their belief in the principle.
57:55 - 'Blackstone Research.' This can't be good...
58:00 - 'Graia.' 'Drogan.' Oh, sh#@.
1:16:09 - It has EV-ER-Y-THING to do with Titus. You need to find out about the events of the first game before you get too much deeper into this.
1:16:42 - If you knew Guilliman, you wouldn't be saying that.
From what I've seen on other videos, Zoanthropes (the flying force field brains) are easy to take out with one thing: Krak Grenades. Stick one with a Krak and it'll immediately fall to where you can melee it to death. Just try to locate some Kraks whenever you enter a large battle zone and get them once the Zoeys appear.
love these sm2 videos. its just a simple fun game that makes you feel like a badass.
I loved his "somebodies on a power trip" after listening to the one data slate. My man doesn't know about genestealers yet. Either that or she was a chaos cultist
As far as your atheists question: In the Pre-Horus Heresy era, the Imperium were hardcore atheists. The "Imperial Creed" that they were spreading was that there were no gods, no magic, only science. Now, this was actually a lie and the Emperor knew it but the Emperor also knew that if everyone stopped believing it would weaken the gods of Chaos tremendously.
The Word Bearers disagreed with this and Lorgar wrote essentially a bible saying "The Emperor is actually a god". Emps didn't like that and put a hard smackdown on the Word Bearers. After that, they turned to Chaos and then Horus decided to be a whiny jerk and then there was a bit of a civil war blah blah blah. Other things happened and 10 thousand years later that bible that Lorgar wrote became the Emperor worshiping religion you see all over 40K.
i also recommend lutein09, weshammer, majorkill for more detailed explaination and my favorite faction is the tau, especialy the farsight enclave basically the only good guys in warhammer 40k
The Farsight Enclave maybe, the T'au empire _ABSOLUTELY_ the fuck not!
@@Lord_Numpty I'd say tau the is the lesser evil because if I was in 40k universe I would immediately be part of the banner of greater good because of the better living situation for a standard human
If you wanna know what it's like for the regular humans to fight the horrible enemies of 40k, you should try another good recent 40k game called Warhammer Darktide
the Tau are atheist for the most part but they will tolerate everyone else's religion as long as you fit into "The Greater Good". The ethereals got pissed when they accidentally got lost in the warp and encountered a friendly being that seem to be the manifestation of " the Greater Will" in the warp.
So with the chain mission. Don't expect your NPC Brothers to do any mission critical objectives. They will do minor crowd control at best but all the stuff that actually matters will fall on you hahaha.
You should remember to check out the combo list for the weapons you pick up. The power sword has two modes for example (that you switch between by holding r1). The first mode being better for single target and the second being a power mode built for sweeping hordes.
Have't finished the video yet, so don't know if you find out about it eventually or not. But the power sword:
Has 2 modes, one for 1v1 and one for hordes;
The strong attack after a light attack is a 2 hit strong attack chain;
After a light attack, wait for Titus to bring the sword back and for it to flash, then do another light attack for a surprise.
Ah yes, the Power Sword. As a relative newcomer to the 40k universe, I am happy to allow the Xenos to sample the blessed blade.
Oh I'm sure the power trip was the least of that captains problems..
If you want to know more context about Titus' story, watch KrakDuk's video on Space Marine 1.
54:28 Fabius, mother*bleep*ing Bile. Also, the emperor of mankind himself technically. Cuz he never wanted to be worshipped as a god. He tried to lead humanity through belief in science and worldly knowledge, not superstition. Specifying that he is a man not a god. Sure, he used religion as a means to gain power. But once he got it, he banned religion. It's only after getting to be a corpse on a throne, and possibly a book from *BLEEP*ING LORGAR, he became revered as a god.
Tau are the only godless faction; they have little presence in the warp and so are unable to create any warp entity. Until they started recruiting humans that is.
I suppose the Tyranids are godless as well, depending on what the Hive Mind even is.
Technically most of the space marine chapters don't see the emperor as a god, more as a holy monarch. As a black templar fan, we see otherwise
55:35 as an addendum for when I mentioned Fabius Bile, seeing as the warp is a collection of every feeling, thoughts, emotions, and souls in general it is possible for a god of unbelief to be made manifested. But remember how Slaanesh was born? Yeah, another chaos god being born may kill an entire planet. If not more. Like say if the emperor eventually dies and possibly becomes the otherwise enigmatic figure called "the dark king".
I'm trash at shooting so I have to live vicariously through others lol so thank you for posting these vids! Also I'm sure you hear this all the time but I love your accent ^_^
Try the heavy bolter! The heavy weapons like the multi-melta and heavy bolter do NOT replace your primary, you carry both. Use all the ammo in the heavy, then ditch it.
OH YEAH!
Most fun playthrough of this game so far (besides my own haha)
The Eldar had a whole pantheon that they could call upon during the war in heaven.
Shit happend and the gods are either dead, trapped or gone, roughly around the time of Slaaneshs birth
Great vid!
I think you might benefit from watching a story recap of Space Marine 1. You bascially got the gist of things, but there is some more that context of the previous one would help make your experience of this game more fullfilling.
If you are ever interested in playing as a terminator of the Dark Angels you should give Space Hulk Deathwing a go. You also fight tyranids in that game. Terminators are just like space marines but they another truckload of armor making almost unstoppable.
Minor clarification on the machine spirit etc:
The Omnissiah is the Messiah of the Machine Spirit/Machine God, basically the machine Jesus.
And They see the Emperor as the Omnissiah.
The Machine God however, is the actual God they worship and it is what permates every machine in the form of the machine spirit. (Kinda)
Now, not all Inquisitors and Machine Priests agree on this, some Cult Mechanicus see the Machine God and the Ominissiah as the same thing, some don't etc.
The Empperor basically made most of Mars agree that he was the Omnissiah, but not all necessarily agree.
But generally: Omnissiah = God Empperor and Machine God = The actual God they believe in.
The cutscene at the end references the first game, i recommend you watch a brief summary of the first game for it to make a lot more sense
I would recommend watching the recap video of Space Marine 1 and the video about essential lore for SM2 from GameSpot to understand more about the plot of the game.
I also recommend to stop watching the essential lore video at 8:30 because there could be spoilers after that mark.
@40:48 "They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them, and in the furnace of war forge them. They will be of iron will and steely muscle. In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest guns will they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them. They will have tactics, strategies and machines so that no foe can best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines and they shall know no fear."
- The Emperor of Man
56:34 the Emperor is an atheist or, more accurately, an antitheist. He wiped out all religions on Terra and all of the Imperium.
you might like space marine 1 and inquisitor martyr/prophecy games
I actually like the Mark X power armor.
Subbed. You seem cool.
Recommend watching Luetin's youtube channel of Warhammer 40k lore. Especially about Hive city Secundus, if you wanna know the true horror of 40k.
The emperor was an atheist and at the time before he was mortally wounded the imperium of man was atheist too
you should react to a video thats called something along the lines of . " top ten apocalypses in warhammer 40 k . its really fucking good. "
The auto boltor wouldve worked better at that reactor core mission brother.
I guess you would like to the new Warhammer 40 000 fan-film The Awakening by Gabriel Cristtiane. It is 59 minutes long and is about Spacemarines fighting Necrons.
Please watch the bricky video explaining all the space marine legions. There’s also an amazing short cinematic Horus heresy video which is even better quality than the astartes one you reacted to.
Atheists in Warhammer? The Emperor of Man, his Custodes and trusted advisors, and his loyalist Primarchs. Space Marines can also be Atheist since many of them follow the Emperor's original Atheistic teachings, though some groups of Space Marines do choose to worship the Emperor as dictated by the Ecclesiarchy.
The Emperor spread atheistic teachings in an attempt to prevent the worship of the Chaos Gods from taking root in his new Imperium, and even went so far as to eradicate every preexisting religious faith in Humanity.
Btw you should watch lore on the custodes so you can learn the exceptional lore they have.
Video to react to; arbitor ian, primarch names. Its about the real world ideas behind the lore. Has some horus heresy spoilers
Perhaps he should learn the lore of the first space marine game too
The only atheist in 40k is the Emperor Himself
"are there any atheist in the world of Warhammer 40k?" Yes, The emperor, he hated religion and banned it from being practiced during the great crusade (reason being to prevent humans from worshipping the chaos gods, c'tans or minor gods, preventing demonic invasions which begin through chaos worshippers opening portals to reality through rituals, or possessions, or simple temptation with chaos fake promises)
As for the Eldars (or Aeldari), they have their own pantheon, most of their gods are dead though after the birth into reality of slaanesh (it's a little confusing since the chaos gods are said to have always existed, and never existed at once, i call the birth of slaanesh more of Slaanesh being now able to influence reality rather than her... It's actual birth), and the surviving gods are either shattered (Kaine) or imprisoned (Isha) or simply laughing their ass off (Cegorach)
mans really said he dived deep into the vore... smh
To clarify, Titus himself handled the fallout of that device being used last time. You should enjoy Space Marine 1 off stream for context before you finish this, or put it on the channel before you finish the new one. Then, Titus's dilemma here would have more dramatic depth and context for you. Plus, Space Marine 1 is a classic with very similar gameplay, and will give you taste of 40k orks. (Bricky did not do the orks justice in his overview. He gives the memes, not the facts.)
Yeah, Eldar made gods so they are absoultly not atheist but to them a god is kind of what it actually is in 40k. A mass of psykic energy representing whatever concept it was born from. It's like lightning to them. It's something to be feared and respected but not really worshipped as we would think of it.
Guess atheism is kind of interesting in 40k. If you're talking about atheism as not believing in and worshiping any god then that's current Necrons, Tau, the Emperor and humanity before the Horus Heresy, and the Tyranids I guess. If you're talking about atheism as the disbelief of the existence of a god, then that's only the Tau and only because they don't know any better. Gods absoultly exist in 40k so in that context, if you're an atheist in 40k, your just wrong.
I guess also current space marine chapters and a lot of chaos warbands ironically are atheist despite how they act. They don't see the Emperor as a god, just an ideal to look up to and some Chaos boys really view the Chaos Gods as a resource to be used, not worshipped.
20:20 yep, you got it. That is our cyberpunk god The Omnissiah
Machine God, Omnissiah, and Motive Force. It's a trinity, like catholicism.
I don’t know if this is just aproblem on my end, but your videos aren’t showing up in my subscribed videos. Its only recommended on the youtube home page
That’s intentional. TH-cam notifications kills videos believe it or not.
@@DeeBeeGeekSo THATS whats been happening
Much os SM2 makes more sense if u played SM1
From what I gather, regarding whether there are any atheists, I think the emperor maintained there were no gods. Ironic, if true.
BTW I recommend the Warrior Tier channel. Brilliant short stories WH40K in the first person. Masterpieces e.g.:
GENESTEALER CULT - A Story
Tyranids - We are the Hive - 40k Lore
Death Korps of KRIEG TRIBUTE - Warhammer 40k Lore
Custodes - The True Sons
IAMALPARIUS, AND THIS IS A LIE.
diving deep? lol. you have scratched the surface. a pebble in the pond, a ripple in the ocean. get reading. there is never any truly knowing the lore, this isnt star wars.
54:15 In theory, the Tau are supposed to be atheistic, but because of the way that the Warp works, their POLITICAL philosophy began INCARNATING AS A GOD as their empire started to expand. Basically: more people 'believing' in something, whatever that thing is=that thing 'becoming' an actual 'god' that can effect the physical world.
Not quite accurate. For whatever reason, Phil Kelly's books which introduced these concepts stated that it came about when humans literally began worshiping the greater good.
Most of the Space Marine chapters in 40k are atheists. Especially the original legions & most of the first founding.
The omnissiah is also the emperor. He tricked the mechanicus so that they think he is that. So they are not actually heretics. They just view him has a different type of god with different name. But in the end the emperor and the omnissiah are the same being. @deebeegeek
