DEATHWATCH: THE SHIELD THAT SLAYS | Warhammer 40k Lore 

Thanks for the new scalie waifu.

The add got me like what is this?

Deathwatch: Slay all the Xenos Shy: Slaaaaay all the Xenos

Just finished star-crosst recently, enjoyed it quite a bit, loved Isol's character. LunaticMoon did good ,real good.

@@BTM8109Vergil: Slay all

That’s some TTS level antics

Imagine if someone wrote Space Marines this comical

@@davisdf3064 Yeah, we were trying to be serious, but I don't think it could have turned out any sillier if we tried. Also, we each made a custom mini for our characters. Due to an unfortunately placed missile in the hand, the Imperial Fist looked like he was jackin it.

@@ashrog82 Oh that Imperial Fist is going to "Fist" someone alright

The emperor after seeing his "they shall know no fear" literally soil himself: 👁️👄👁️

So The ultramarines have a secondary chapter. God damit.

Ultramarines of Deathwatch: the Codex Astartes found them guilty... of being based.

So it's pretty much the Night's Watch in space

@@samfire3067 That was the backstory for my Arch Militant in Rogue Trader a few years ago: he was a "not-zealous-enough" Black Templar with missteps into pragmatism. Then he got recruited by an inquisitor.

@@samfire3067 these are the Cpt Titus type Ultramarines, they basically all get put in the deathwatch for being using the Codex as 'guidlines' than actual rules.

"lets hope statistically there is nothing in said box"

Wasn't there an extra-sneaky Lictor, who's presence or abence in said box they couldn't really prove?

Is that the one they keep in maximum security after a trap went off and they couldn't prove it was or wasn't there? And sometimes, one marine will go in to provoke it but nothing will happen?

​​@@andreykuzmin4355that sounds awesome. Why are Lictors always the basis for incredibly interesting funny lore bits?

What’s the story called?

God I love Space Marine XCOM

Ahh golden age of 40k comunity

Dammit, I was gonna say that!!

Lion for life indeed!

How dare you disrespect the WOLFKINGs Kin my brothers will toast with your FEATHERED SKULLS

​@@brucewayne5281Imagine not killing Horus

There are billions of planets out there but only a very small amount of them are actually habitable and useful. Some planets are literal balls of ice or burning/irradiated rocks not to mention gas giants

@@simplewrites To be fair, being inhabitable didn't stop the Imperium when it comes to colonizing a world

The Milky Way is estimated to have 100-300 billion stars, and half the stars are estimated to be part of binary (or more) systems. In other words for every imperial world there are up to 200k _star systems_ not controlled by the Imperium. As a side note, this also explains how Eldar and Humans were able to both have a galaxy-spanning empire during the Dark Age of Technology, there simply was more than enough space for both of them (and many more).

@@Nickname-ef9tvspecially once you realize the huge chunk the eye of terror takes up used to be the Eldar core worlds.

It's also funny to think that this gigantic epic of a story playing out over tens of thousands of years at such a huge scale.....is all in one galaxy. Nids are the only confirmed thing from another galaxy. Hell, even the chaos deities seem fairly confined to the milky way. Frankly, it's *only* the year 41,000. That's 0.00 41% of the age of the earth, and 0.00029% the age of the universe. This unbelievably, incomprehensibly gigantic story takes place in a tiny tiny fraction of time, in a single galaxy out of 200 billion to 2 trillion galaxies. Oh, and that's in the observable universe, so with warp travel, that number is going to increase a lot. Even our grandest stories end up as specks of dust compared to the whole of reality

hell yea bother

Three of the 5 DW players in one chat? Look out GW

4

Do I count even tho I. Not making deathwatch army but still collecting other single marines from every chapter and legion

You are getting there Spacelioness

It's more or less the Dawn of War Warp Spider voice

It's the tone techpriests set their voxcoder to when they're being sarcastic. "yEs mAGos i'lL jUsT lEvItAte yOuR FiFtY tOn sCraPhEaP oF a cArcAss oVeR tHAt cliFFsIDE aNd GeT tHat lEaK fOR YOU wHile i'M aT It."

​@@electrotoxinsit's fitting to imitate a xeno voice in a xeno-killer-specialized episode.

it also sounds exactly like the eldar warp spiders in DoW 1

Just like GW they forgot about them

RIP

Rather ironic init, but yes, they are the coolest part

They always find new ways to disappoint

Can you explain the Black Templars bit? I knew that Marines Malevolent are not recruited by the Deathwatch (because fuck those guys) but I didn't know there were some troubles with the Black Templars as well.

@@DaRedGobbo they are but, like how they’re Techmarines can’t paint their armour fully red because their zealous machine spirits don’t like it, the Black Templars often encounter Chapter Heresy within the DW. For instance, many Black Templars may see their Sergeant with a Xeno sword and and argue that it’s Heresy, or may fight alongside librarians whom they deem as heretical, or more mutated space marines. Other chapters can have these issues, but it rarely causes as much friction as with Black Templars. The BTs May respect other Dornian successors, but place them in a squad with a sergeant armed with a Xeno blade, a librarian and a Black Dragon (whom often grow bone spikes and many outside the Space Marines question are chaos tainted) and send them all on a dishonourable stealth mission that demands they not simply shoot all Xeno on sight and maybe even work with them, and your either gonna have a Black Templar who grew past their blind hatred and zeal who can carry their more pragmatic views back to their chapter, or a lot of arguing and accusations of Heresy. Many Black Templars do serve with distinction in the Death Watch, but as even the pragmatic Ultramarines can cause frictions, it’s not surprising the Black Templars are very notable for it

And of course, the Omega Vault in Watch Fortress Erioch

They're not spreading anything to other chapters. You're not allowed to tell ANYONE including your chapter about your time in the deathwatch. For example "Brother, hear you were in the deathwatch you must have many stories to tell of your deeds" "I was in fact, in the deathwatch... " Also there are already warrior lodges. They're called Chapters.

100%! And making up little back stories about how well the fireteam gets along while you're painting. "Look! A Black Templar.... I'm sure he'll love this BA Sgt I'm putting him with."

@Annoyachu Absolutely! This faction is just loaded with character👍

Yup so much fun in the RPG too having players decide chapters and turning up going. “I am a Space Wolf Tactical Marine” “I’m a Dark Angels Devastator” *proceeds to start bickering and dick waving while the ultramarine sergeant sighs his ass off* Or “I’m a Iron Hands Tech Priest” “I’m a Raven Guard Tactical Marine” “I’m a Salamander Apothecary” *proceeds to be both bitter about the dropsite massacre towards one another but also have the closet bond in the world of ‘I will not let you fall’*

@@reecedignan8365 Now THAT is the kind of character-building I live for!

@@BuddyWithTheSideburns Most fun campaigns I’ve run I can tell you have been: 1. A 6 player campaign where each player choose an ultramarines successor. Seeing each of them start off as “f-yeah for the primach brothers” slowly start fading into “that’s not what the codex would say? What do you mean everyone in the red scorpions is an apothecary? Marines Errant why are you eying up my fallen brother gene-seed? What do you mean the Nova Marines supply battle brothers to the ultramarines, that’s like having a full second chapter of brothers to steal from!” 2. A 4 player campaign where I had a Black Templar Assault Marine, a Carcharodon Tactical Marine, a Flesh Tearer Apothecary & and Minotaur Devestator… let’s just say it was one of the most fun and brutal campaigns I’ve had the experience of running/enjoying. 3. A small Dark Angels campaign (everyone choose Dark Angel successors) and ended up fucking off from doing anti-xeno duty into hunting down heretics and suspected fallen. 4. With small conversions had each player make a 10 man squad from the iron hands and played out an engagement set during the Dropsite Massacre with literally each player having 10 character sheets like they would have dataslates and literally saw how far their squad would make it through the dropsite massacre. Of the 50 Iron Hands that dropped and the 30+ reinforcements and 2 extra supporting predators they picked up from scattered elements. 22 died in the initial assault on the mainline as was 1 predator. 36 died in the trench fighting against Emperors children and the remaining died during a last stand after hearing their Primarch was killed. 5. Similar to above but set during an event similar to the Badab war with each player creating a 10 man squad from their respective participating chapter and seeing how far each made it into the campaign against chaos traitor marines.

Expenda(Battle)Bros?

Also many can’t tell between the Eldar, I believe even Cain had a correction by Amberly about them

@@BR-bn1mz Wich is funny, because the Craftworld Eldar look like some Noble, piece of crap people, while the Dark Eldar simply look like piece of crap people

Well no, the Imperium hates the Eldar _because they're Xenos._ They would have tried exterminating them regardless. Because the Emperor is a dick.

It never occured to me that before their fall virtually the entire (by then _much_ more numerous) Eldar race likely used to raid human worlds like the Drukhari later on. Albeit propably at a lower frequency since they did not yet have to satisfy Slaanesh.

@@Nickname-ef9tv My reading of the situation was that while most Eldar lived the hedonist lifestyle, the worst excesses of their empire were still not socially acceptable enough to be done openly. It's _why_ so much of it went on in Commoragh. It was the most vile and extreme acts being done in the metaphorical underground. I have no doubt there was plenty of raiding of other species going on. But it probably wasn't an activity engaged on a societal level. (Not that "a minority of Eldar raiding non-Eldar for plunder and slaves", during the height of their empire, isn't a _fuckton_ of raiding and slaving.)

this makes no sense on so many levels ...

Condolences. :(

Oof, condolences on your dad losing his last wound. May you find solace and healing in your hobby.

I wish you well

May God heal and bless you :)

My condolences, my dad died suddenly in 2017. Thoughts and prayers to you sir.

Let me guess they are in the requisitions department?

@@kishinasura1989 Don't know? there hasn't been no new lore what the blood Ravens are doing now?

​@@vontheunknown7982 It is referencing a joke about how the Blood Ravens are constantly stealing stuff.

@@gerald2508 Oh, okay

​@@gerald2508having stuff gifted to them

Would have been fun to hear them talk about kazerion.

Kazarion was send because he was chosen and he kinda get a vision

As someone who knows the Storm Warden lore, I wish you good luck in converting your Storm Wardens into chaos marines 😎

Based and Celtpilled brother 🤝

​@@worldeater2414what happened?

@@burningbronze7555 The Storm Wardens have a passage saying they get visions of a demonic being urging them to join him in the warp, it is heavily hinted at that they are sons of a Demon Primarch. Which one is anyone's guess

Give a man a minute to get proper zooted yeah

@@bocholotthethird3159 are you calling Ultra-Boofs mid?

My brother is showing me this, does the ultra boofs bit really get brought up that much

@@saberaq he hasn’t sadly repeated the joke afterwards, but up until now, yeah, at least 10 times in 8 different videos. Your stuff is hilarious dude!

Whar?

Now, go make me a recaf.

Chiron I think his name is

I mean there's already a Deathwatch TTRPG that provides the blueprint; your role is your class, and your chapter gives you a separate upgrade tree- all Ultramarines have most of the commandy stuff even if they're a Devastator or Techmarine, for example.

There is a deathwatch game on steam

That sounds sick!

Buying that bundle on a whim is the entire reason Deathwatch are my favorite

dude I jumped out of bed seeing the thumbnail

who is we?

​@@stepansvabenicky1638 those who like DW

The Black Templars have an equivalent to a Chapter Master, in the form of High Marshall Helbrecht.

This is not a complaint it’s adorable
