HELSREACH Part 7 AND 8 (A Warhammer 40k Story) - REACTION 

For the lore you are right. In modern society, any hand to help you is a blessing. It is what folk do.

This video was a total waste, reactions from people that know nothing about the lore. Read the book if you want it to make sense.

Well put.

he is young, arrogant, VERY skilled and still fairly new as a space marine. the time as neophyte and the later term of service as a scout marine also helps to drill out humanity. before that scene, he was all of this. but after her death, he realizes just what it means to be a space marine. one of the emperors chosen. an angel of the god emperor himself. it means to be transhuman. you must loose a part of yourself in order to become more. to transgress the limitations of humanity they must give up the very thing that makes them human. and its all made clear to him in a second. he will forever connect the death of that random, nameless guards(wo)man with his understanding of the price that must be paid in order to serve the emperor as a space marine. on a personal note, in my opinion, the Vlka Fenryka (space wolves) seem to suffer more from this loss of empathy towards humans than others. i suspect its on account of the Canix Helix, or maybe its their "viking" ways?? after all, thralls were a common thing in viking history and the Huscarls (guardsmen) seem to fit this role, accepting that even hesitating to follow an order from a space wolf always warrants the possibility of serious maiming or death. surprisingly they respond to this style of command with a fierce loyalty and an unshakeable sense of duty that precedes everything in their life. anyways, im getting off track, what is your opinion on my theory?

@@scar445 What? The Space Wolves are one of the most empathetic chapters to ever exist. They openly fraternize with Humans they serve with and risked war with the Inquisition and the Grey Knights to Protect the survivors of the First War of Armageddon from sterilization/extermination camps. Even with them going Wulfen they still have more humanity and self control in them compared to the likes of the Blood Angels struck with the Black Rage and Red thirst.

@@ChocorocK a space marine going Wulfen looses touch with humanity and is transformed into a mutant that is only kept alive to be unleashed upon enemies, so that even in failure, the wolves serve. and while they do "fraternize" they also see humans as less. they understand, perhaps better than most, how weak humans are. they have no disdain from that knowledge. its just a fact. a fact that manifests itself truly when seeing wolves deal with huskaerls . that not only expect but demand that they die for the "sky warriors", that they may continue their work in the name of the emperor. and most importantly: their sole purpose as a Legion: to utterly destroy and cripple beyond saving, any enemy deemed bad enough for the wolves to intervene.

*angels not angles. "How'd you do on your math homework little Jimmy?" "Not good Mrs. B. I thought it was unfair given I couldn't find any of the Emperor's angles!"

@@StarboyXL9 Knowing 40k, that might be a thing that happened. At which point that child was promptly executed for heresy.

"even in death does the guardsman serve"

She didnt understand if he was trying to heal her or put her at ease. As in the body language. Maybe pay attention to the context next time. You know, just a thought.

@@DomR1997 obviously he was putting her at ease while she died. stupid women

DomInator Also to be fair it would help to know Priamus’ feeling towards normal humans to understand that scene too, so even in that scene watching from the beginning would help give context and help someone better understand the scene

Seconded, fhe a astartes fan vids are epic.
