Exploring Warhammer 40k: Creating a Space Marine 

"how fares the new recruits" "they are still standing around screaming loudly and punching each other and walls" "ahh good, we have a good batch this time"

You put the geneseed in, You take the humanity out , You put more geneseed in, And you shake him all bout !

Emperor of man talking about space marines: “It even works underwater!”

Need to breath? Add another lung Need to eat? Add another stomach Need more lives? Add another heart Frigging beasts

This approach to describing a space marine makes them sound like an SCP

My favorite trial is when the recruit had to fight a fully grown unarmed Space Marine, because the image if a teenager fighting a 12 foot tall man is pretty funny

Everyone ask how to create a space marine,but nobody ask how is the space marine :(

Damn. A Space Marine could eat a Spartan for breakfast it seems.

Isn't Dreadnought more like a walking coffin instead of a suit?

Basically the emperor wanted to turn that one daft punk song into a legion

This is warhammer 40k, over powered super soldiers that are constantly killed by even more crazy demons and aliens

They ate their greens and drank their milk

It always bugged me that spacemarine ribs are fused together since breathing is mainly acomplished by expanding the ribcage. It's especially bugging because that issue would have been easily avoidable by turning the ribs into overlapping plates instead of fusing them.

Huh, I thought they were made from die-cast plastic.

5:35 "Yes! Our true purpose is clear! Eat! Eat!!!! *BOOOOOORGAAAAAR!!!!!"*

Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life.

They are the bulwark against the terror and they shall know no fear

I’ve always wanted to get into this series but always found it overwhelming. You’re doing awesome. Thanks.

The Adeptus Astartes may be overpowered compared to other fictional universes but in 40k they need to be just so they can survive.

I've now come to realize that the WH space marines were the original og space marines. Before the Master Chief, before Doom Guy, there were the Adeptus Astartes. I don't know why it took me this long to get into WH40k.

What’s funny is that guardsman fight in the brutal world of WH40k without all these implants

Fun fact, you can watch this at 1.5 speed and still understand him perfectly fine

We all know the ultimate Space Marine trial... Keeping your channel monetised

In a nutshell: An oversized Metal Jock Strap and some REALLY expensive surgery along with every combat training you learn.

5:36 Those aren't Space Marines though.. They are the Adeptus Custodes, far advanced than your normal Space Marine. And alongside the Sisters of Silence, Souless humans that nerfs demons powers.

2:47 Can you imagine that tho? "Oh, well he *only* broke half his ribs and his right arm is cut off, I guess he's ready"

Everyone here should watch on RU-vid Astartes - Part One Astartes - Part Two Astartes - Part Three

You've gone from a channel I enjoy, with all the SCP stuff, to a channel I love with the addition of 40k, now. All these young bucks just finding out. If only they knew how deep the rabbit hole goes...

I honestly thought the 40k aesthetic was kinda lame from just seeing some pics of the space marines, but boy how I could be more wrong. love the Victorian aspect of the cities and the undying worship of the God Emperor. The multitude of classes is amazing, and the sheer amount of lore is astounding. I certainly see how people can get so deep into this.

100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run - every single day.

Tier 1: "super soldiers are an archetype" Tier 2: "super soldiers are not an uncommon concept in fiction" Master Tier: "One can argue that the century-old science fiction concept of the 'super soldier' and quite easily be found in many instances across all of modern fiction, be it in literature, theatre, graphic novels and even table top board games (Sherman et al.)"

If you’re rib cage we’re made into a single solid sheet of bone you wouldn’t be able to breath. RIP all Space Marines.

Without the Dark, there can be no Light, We have purpose Without the Lie, there can be no Truth, We have purpose Without the War, there can be no Victory, We have purpose Without the Death, there can be no sacrifice, We have purpose Without the Hope there can be no Future, We have purpose Without the Loyalty there can be no one chapter, We have purpose Without the Emperor, there is nothing,... And we would have no purpose

*slaps the roof of this space marine* This baby here.. You can fit so much Xeno purging in this.

The Dante novel is really interesting in the way that it depicts space marines as a culture. The higher ranking space marines including the chapter master, often have the luxury of wearing gowns and regular dress apparel. It's not something you give much thought to, but Dante's armour requires constant cleaning, maintenance, decontamination, and rites performed. It's probably not too far to assume that regular space marines would also go varying periods of downtime without their armour too. When you imagine space marine gatherings, you imagine them all armoured and ready for war. But realistically, it's likely a room full of superhumans in gowns and robes. The depiction of blood thralls and chapter serfs was also interesting, because you never think about the little guys. The guys who dress their superhuman brothers, or the guys who tend to the agricultural jobs to feed them. Even just something as menial as restoring lost artwork, or watering flowers (the blood angels are renowned artists). These are brothers who have passed the trials and have all of the graces and virtues befitting a son of sanguinius, but who's bodies are not suited for the complicated and demanding transition to full Astartes. They are regular humans essentially, living no longer than an average person. A single space marine would likely see many of these serfs die in their lifetime, but do not look down at them in contempt. These are brothers who; if their bodies were more compatible; would be stood right next to them in battle. The blood angels enshrine a unique moral and ethical duty to all the souls in their domain. Naturally, space marines are at the top of the hierarchy. These warriors deliver the justice and fury of Sanguinius to the enemies of the imperium. Serfs are slightly lower but no less vital to the function of the chapter. They are charged with projects as big as construction and fortification, all the way down to something as small as watering the monastery's many green gardens. Even those who die during the Trials are awarded an honourable death for their sacrifice. They even go so far as to include those who don't attend the recruitment process. Before every recruitment event, every initiate is warned of the dangers and that they should turn back for it is not for the feint of heart. For such grim spectres of death, the chaplains signal the many virtues of being brave enough to turn back. Not to walk away in shame with their head hanging low, but to breed the next generation of Baalites so their sons and grandsons may become angels. The blood angels have to be the single most noble and virtuous chapter out there.

Surgery without anesthesia or at least a single bit of painkiller? No thanks.

I hope you can do about the Primarchs, Grey Knights, Deathwatch, Roboute Guiliman and other conflicts, figures and Astra Militarum units. Good work on this.

spray on a primer, do your basecoats in two thin layers, add highlights, details and maybe a wash. if you're using waterslides soak them in war water for a minute and use mark setter and softer for an optimal application. finish all with a topcoat and maybe some gloss varnish on metallic parts. this should be everything.

I have to say... your voice and the way you structure your explanation, made for a very pleasant video to listen to while working out/running on a treadmill... keep up the good work man

Dude, just wanted to give the big thanks for your awesomely analytical content. Keep on exploring!

4:18 Basic soldier, elite soldier, warrior woman and OH LAWD, HE COMIN!!

Big E's buff boys

“Emperor! What shall we call our new super soldiers!” (The Emperor having given the rest of his empire steampunk and Latin esque names decides...” “Space Marines!”

Better cover the real heroes of the imperium, the imperial guardsmen!

You make me happy with these videos

Love this channel! My brother is really into 40k lore so i know a little bit, but i didn't know where to really start in the lore. That and find someone that had a good voice to listen to. So glad you started this series and hope you keep it up. Seriously great work. May you never get demonitized again.

07:59 "It allows the space marine to turn their saliva to a corrosive substance...." Me who just played Dawn of War II: "SPIT on those tyranids space marines!"

Just imagine Captain America wearing the Iron Man suit and using Thor's weapons. Some of them also have Scarlet Witch's magic and the Hulks attitude.

Imagine waiting 500+ years for a revive

Excellent video. Always been in awe, and overwhelmed by 40k. Its like, where do you start? It's massive!!! But always wondered about space marines. Great video, thanks! 🙂

It's about time. Super pumped about this series, always have loved 40k lore.

This is such a dark and twisted universe. Love it!

Can you Imagine the Insane MTFs the SCP Foundation could make if they had Access to the Geneseeds?

Life sucks in the 40k universe man, a neverending apocalypse of constant war

I just typed out everything he listed, but the wiki's and gamebooks will also have this listed. In case anyone else wanted this I guess? Create a Space Marine - (Adeptus Astartes) 1. Secondary Heart (Increases blood supply and pumping rate.) Can live if one heart fails. Operate normally in low oxygen environments. 2. Enhanced skeleton - Ribs become a full plate. 3. Muscle growth & hormone regulator 4. Enhanced blood 5. New cells "Super platelets" blood clots much faster and efficiently forming scar tissue in seconds. 6. Brain implant go without sleep. Shut's down half of their brain at a time. Record: 320 hours straight 7. The second stomach, catching Inedible items and making them immune to poisons and toxins. 8. Gain memories from a person's eaten flesh. a. Might gain a craving for blood and flesh 9. Third lung - breath in low oxygen, toxic environments, or underwater. 10. Enhanced eyesight - low light becomes like daylight. 11. Ear modification - immune to sonic attacks, dizziness, and motion sickness. 12. Suspended animation keeps a critically injured marine alive for years until treated. 13. Enhanced skin - resistant to radiation, heat, and high levels of sunlight. 14. Enhanced organs and detox body - quickly circulation their blood which renders them unconscious. 15. Enhance taste and smell. Can track a target by taste alone. 16.

Xenomorph spit - lets them chew through iron bars, consume anything, and blinds enemies. 18. Reproduce the gene-seed to create more implants. 19. The Black Carapace (The interface) Nerves and power armor sink, allows them to use their armor better. Primaris Marine 20. Even greater strength 21. Even bigger 22. Ultimate stimulant. Tissue, bone, and muscle regenerator • Sometimes get photographic memories. • Reinforced respect for authorities and law. ○ Resistant to the temptation of chaos. Power Armor 1.

Gyroscopic stabilizers b. Temperature regulators c. Bio monitor - auto advanced medkit Weapons 1. Bolter: Assault weapon that fires explosive rounds. a. So much kick that it can't be used by anyone else. (Like a mini cannon) i. Heavy Bolter ii. Bolter Pistols (Anyone can use) 2. Chain sword a. Cuts flesh and bone and metal

Bruh I saw the notification and read it upside down and thought it said “Exploding Watermelon”

The dreadnought is not somekind of powerarmor. Its more akin to a cyborg body, a symbiosis of a living part and a machine where no part would function on its own. Without a powerarmor a spacemarine still can kick ass while the "brainpart" of a dreadnought would lay dying on the ground and the dreadnought would rust.

To the new people who just learned about this and are thinking that the space marines are too OP. I'd like to tell you they're actually one of the races who's fighting an uphill battle. .....I mean, I'd love to say that. But thats complete heresy punishable by death. So, I'll say. For the emperor brother!!

Thanks for making these! I'm looking to getting into the 40k universe and these videos have been super helpful.

And yet some bugs can literally cut them in half, such is the life of 40k universe

I didn't know being such cool and strong is of so much suffering

It's pronounced "Astar-tees," named after the obscure Greek war goddess Astarte.

The fact a fused rib cage would normally turn someone into a walking eggshell but these guys just use it as a power up

We gonna talk about the photo at 11:16 where the bolters haven't got a magazine

Damn after all that enhancements and modification, the empire is still struggling battle-wise.

Basically transforms a normal human into a “god”

the super-soldiers from other fictions look like kids compared to them. oh you can jump high and lift a car? that's so sweet.

Excellent video, learned quite a few things. Thank you!

Considering they use magazine fed weapons I note a lack of magazine pouches or carriers....

makes me wonder would earth surivive at least 10 space marines vs the entire earth? or is that sill overkill? 😂😂😂

And yet, they drop like flies and getting killed like cattle by their adversaries..

And here I thought the Spartan augmentations and training were insane enough.

"Better watch out, those space marines are masters of combat" *space marine lifts helmet and spits in your eyes

The only augmentation that I have a hard time suspending my disbelief for is the fusion of their ribcage. They wouldn't be able to move normally.

"I will die a thousand deaths before I yield"

I kinda pity space marines. Not a great life to lead.

Don't forget the Magic Pain Glove™

Great video! The actual surgeries and implants are funny. For an example the fusing of the ribcage to one solid plate would make breathing practically impossible 🤤

Probably not a good idea to annoy one of these Fellows. They do indeed sound like the definition of, " Death on Foot". Thorough presentation.

I'm just starting to get into warhammer lore, and this brought up a question: At what point is a space marine so modified that it doesn't count as a human anymore? Because all of it's modifications make it seem like they go from "human" to something "not-human"

nurgle seems to have blessed the comments

I need to good spot to jump into the lore. Can't afford rulebooks, but I could probably get novels from the library, but I have no clue where to start

Creating a Space Marine: Sugar! Spice! And everything nice!

And the funniest part about this whole thing: Space Marines are so over the top but they still eat shit when it comes to certain enemies

Adeptus Astarteeeeeeeees

SO when you see a Space Marine you are F .

Space marines, we are the Space marines, we are Space Marines, our enemies die!

"Greatest living weapon for the imperium of man." Laughs in Custodes

All of these sound very painful but very beneficial to said subject

Can i ask if we could get video about nine tailed fox (scp) oh also one of your scp videos seems to be gone from the scp list any idea what happened?

I'd like to see Justin Hammer sell one of these to WarMachine. "He's big, fast, invulnerable and carries a chainsaw sword"

Who wants Ridley Scott to make a Warhammer 40k movie?

Imagine being near immortal, extremely powerful, and have the ability to curb stomp the hulk in seconds. Yeah and work underwater. That would be cool.

Honestly, the Larraman's Organ if it could magically be reproduced in real life with the wave of a wand, I wouldn't want that sucker in me. Platelets clotting almost immediately and forming scar tissue in seconds? Sounds like a fantastic way to have a stroke or heart attack about 11.4 seconds after being implanted haha.

Man this channel has everything, for everyone

With steely muscle and iron will they will know no fear

I’m honestly loving these warhammer videos man, keep it coming! Can’t wait to see how you interpret the forces of the ruinous powers!

Not all space marines start off as scouts. For example the space wolves start off as "blood claws". The youngest wolves. The scouts are normally some of the older wolves who have honed their abilities working up from blood claws, gray wolves and sometimes, long fangs. However, these are the only ones I'm aware of that work like this.

SO many implants! And a single Pak Protector casually walks into their camp and kills them all.

Chainswords!? Now you're speaking my language! 💎
