(NON WARHAMMER FANS) react to Astartes Project by Syama Pedersen - All Parts 

Your reaction is clean bros, nobody is remarking top tier soldier attitude of these Astartes and engaged by it so much, you did A LOT, thank you. True men reacting to coolest stuff on Earth be like:

"Can you briefly explain the lore?" "No." "You can't explain it?" "No I can't *briefly* explain it."

"They did sacrifice 50 soldiers....but that was a clean setup." The Imperial Guard will be contacting you for an officer commission.

Once you see Astartes, your channel evolves into a Warhammer reaction channel.

"They got external spines, they got some powers." Solid reasoning.

It's commonly assumed that when the space marines fought those two psykers, that three of the five died. They didn't. The entire squad survived that encounter, simply force pushing an astartes in full armor is not enough to kill him.

"It kept escalating bro" Yeah, warhammer will do that lmao glad you two are enjoying it!

Who is there? I have failed. Brother, we have ALL failed. The Astartes deny our touch. You must return, break your seal. Impossible, will never survive. YOU MUST! Take them!

The guy who tanked the laser turret rounds did have some damage. His armor has little impact craters and scorch marks from the impacts, and he whipped out of the way behind the corner instead of just standing there.

Side note: Space Marines have 2 hearts and 3 lungs.

Now imagine that you had to wait 6+ months after every cut. As it came out, that's how we watched it. I believe it was 4 or 5 separate parts originally. The whole thing took years.

Something that should be stated about Space Marine armor is its not magnetic. When the orb started pulling them in it was something else entirely.

The guy in the robes was being possessed by the demon in the orb. Being he is also psychic, that was a sector sized threat about to be unleashed... Luckily the space marines nearby were able to put him down before the possession was complete because... Yeah, not good if it did. Would take alot of manpower to put down. They were able to give him mercy at least.

Fun fact the Bolter that the Space Marines use fires a .75 Calliber mini rocket that detonates on impact with it's target and are highly effective against fleshy targets like humans.

"Bro is locked in"...the perfect summary of what it means to be a Space Marine. Only in death does duty end

I would recommend Bricky's videos, they explain every 40k faction. They are long ones though, near 1hour for humanity alone on the first video. As long as it is, it's very noob friendly. Lots of great memes. Regardless this community will welcome you with open arms, for in the grim darkness of the far future there is only war.

“Where’s the show of this?!” Thankfully, Brothers, your prayers are being answered! Henry Cavill, yes, THE Henry Cavill, is working on a show as we speak!

This video was definitely made by one dude. And yall are right, that lazturret should've took out that one marine that destroyed the lazturret with a plasma bolt. But these particular marines are from an imperial fist successor that can resist warp spaghetti. Their armor is better built than most others, probably because they didn't piss off the Adeptus Mechanicus. Those Cogboys don't like dealing with "regular folk" so if you mess with them, the gear they send your way might malfunction.

Unfortunately this specific chapter of battle brothers are considered lost, according to their last logs they were pursuing a connection to this orb and that was the last time they were observed and heard of

>The armor is broken because ceramite armor (the one worn by the astartes) in 40K is VERY resistant to conventinal firearms. >The enemies they are fighting are some sort of psyker cult, psykers being mind wizards basically >Also I love the part where one of you went YO DAS ME, DUDE! Reminded me of when I used to do that with my sister as a kid >The egg/ball/sphere thingies are believed to be some form of Warp entities or similar, it's a homebrew concept by Syama. >The two spheres began communicating with each other, the Imperial psyker got an ear into their conversation and warned the Marine Captain, you can hear him say "RECALL THEM IMMEDIATELY" and the he gets possessed and well...boy got smoked >The marine lost his hand because plasma weapons in 40k are well-know because they fucking explode in overcharged >The warp entity was attacked by...Emperor knows what the fuck while holding the marines with the tentacles

NO HESITATION! Yeah, that's what I love about the Space Marines in this video. They know exactly what they need to do and just DO IT. :D

A bolt shell is less of a bullet and more of a self-propelled miniaturized armor piercing rocket, designed to penetrate and explode. The first shot is enough that you won't survive. If it isn't, then it sucks for you.

Giving a suggestion, Death Korps of Krieg by SODAZ is another great animated battle

"They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines and they shall know no fear." -emperor of mankind. As a huge warhammer fan I loved your reaction

6:24 It was a good setup! It could have worked if that gunner waited and let the space marine keep coming until he was halfway in the hallway, but he clenched that trigger in panic at the first sight of the marine. Not being calm enough for holding position, careful aim or careful timing is a common enough problem for normal humans facing space marines it has the name "posthuman dread".

Hey, just got to say, I've been into Warhamer 40k for.... about 30ish years. You might not have seen much about it before... But damn, you got it so quickly compared to others I've seen, and you absolutely were on point all the way through. You GET this. Awesome to see!

If you think becoming Space Marine in 40k is easy....all I can say is no, just no you either die or go insane from the trauma. The process to make a normal human into a Space Marine/Astartes supersoldeir is one of the most traumatic and brutal things in Warhammer 40k. They start by recruiting human boys 9 to 10 years old and are put threw some of the most harsh and dangerous tests and trials in the galaxy and alot of them don't survive or never the same anymore. These tests can be exposure to radioactive planets, frozen worlds, a world filled with alien creatures that want to eat you most of the times the recruits are naked in these exposure tests. Or put through pain torture tests, self mutilation trials and duels/no holds bard fights that are always to the death and remember the recruits doing these tests and trials are 9 to 10 year old boys.

"He looked gritty" Our boy has 3 service nails in his brow, he's been doing that shit daily for over 300 years. He calls that a Monday.

The guy in the robes who got possessed by the orb was an Inquisitor, basically the secret police (like the CIA, FBI, KGB type shit) of the Imperium. Besides the Emperor and the Primarchs, Inquisitors have the most power within the Imperium. When the Space Marines killed him, it was only because possession in this universe can be some of the most dangerous type shit and it was both a mercy kill and over the top to make sure no strange shit was gonna come from him.

When bro said: “Is that Horus?” I fucking died laughing😂

When they are taken by the entity into the warp the thing that kills it at 15:53 is most likely the soul of the Red Robed Inquisitor as the color of the Bolt is the same as his Aura when he was connected to it. Also at the end when you see the Astartes look off in the distance if you notice their are a bunch of pillars in the distance and you can see flashes of light on top of them which is the rest of his Squad teleporting in

I don't know how, but non-fans reacting somehow has it's own charm and class. And you guys are IN to what you see, which is what we want from reactors. Bravo. New channel. Glad to have found you.

im a country ass white dude, but out of all reaction channels out there, you guys are the most intoxicating. Your language with one another, the way yall play off one another just adds so much humour. When yall said "Yo paint Cuh, ay blast cuh" I was sent to the moon bro. Too funny, I subscribed and can't wait to laugh some more

Interesting fact: if you have noticed, the space marines haven’t missed a single shot in this engagement

I've never seen two men inherently just fucking get it so it quickly when it comes to 40k. Welcome brothers. We(40k fans) have been waiting for you.

Idk who tf yall are, but it was hilarious seeing someone finding this for the first time. I reacted the same way a couple years ago and now Im a dedicated fan. 40k goes hard, dudes. Keep your eyes peeled cause the dude that made this is going to make more in the future, plus theres other stuff like it out there.

Watching you two react: ‘Bro he’s literally me’ ‘Nu-huh he’s me’ It’s the best

This and Helsreach are normally the first big dives in to 40k lore

Been watching people react to astates fir years now. Y'all were the funniest by far and also made good comments. Can't wait to see more

Fun fact the 3 metal studs in the marines forehead each represents one hundred years of service

"I'm locked in!!! I'm ready!!!" ".......that aint youuuu." lol :D

13:20 - The dude yelled "Recall them immediately!" You've heard no dialogue between them because everyone in armor has in-helmet comms. That was him yelling as loud as he could under his own volition.

"Do the deaths of you soldiers mean so little to you? Are you that mad!?" "Do the deaths of yours mean so much to you alien? Are you that weak?" - Davian Thule to tau commander

So the guy in the hood that they killed was a Psyker, basically psychic wizards. And the reason they killed him is because he was being possessed. In this animation they were dealing with ancient alien technology, amd homie was getting possessed by it and any sort of deamon/alien possession is a major deal so killing him like that was actually underkill, that was them going lite on killing him because if they don't, they legitimately could all die.

i never fail to enjoy a good reaction video of this masterpiece of an animation.

13:45 Never gets old. Always fun watching non fans react to the simple and swift reaction to POSSIBLE chaos infection. If anything they probably burned the corpse offscreen.

"Even their spells can't stop us brother!" - Salamanders chaplain after stomping an enemy psyker.

The little detail of the marine blessing his weapon when he's sitting on the landing craft right at the beginning is one of my favorite little details cus it foreshadows the enemy they are dealing with being supernatural of origin. Also the part where the marine puts his sub machine gun on the railing to attempt to stabiliize it while he holds down full auto and still struggles to keep it still says a lot about the very high caliber of bullets their guns use and the power they possess in a single shot even in non rifle weapons. Great reaction boys. Welcome to the Warhammer fandom :)

At the end there, the guy in the red robe was listening in on the orbs, which he was supposed to be doing. He heard they were going to attack the Astarte team, which he whips around to tell the boss man, and he sends another Astarte to go tell them (we actually see the Sergeant reacting to the warning just before they start getting absorbed). Unfortunately for the psycker (red robe), the distraction allowed the orb they had in captivity to attack him, following which he was quickly possessed (though you can see him resisting), noticeably, you can hear him chanting so loud that it is the only audible human dialogue, except for the previous shouted warning. As soon as he fell to the orb, he was rapidly and summarily executed, which was almost definitely the best scenario for everyone on board. As for the room with the giant robot? I think the orbs were trying to make an army of psychers (magic basically) which is why we see a lot more of those mask and spine things. They would just slap one of those onto a normal psycher or maybe even a normal person, and it would buff them/make them a psycher. This would, obviously, be very bad. Just two of them were a challenge for five Astartes, and there are A LOT more than two masks in that room. The giant Robot I think is supposed to be a body for the Orb, but the Astartes managed to get there before it was completed. That’s the reason the Orb said they had failed, they were on the edge of becoming a much more serious threat.

If you get possessed, you gotta go before you fuck up the whole op

As someone who just got into 40k, I'm loving someone with the same sense of wonder watching this that I had.

You: *"How many made this? This can't be one person job"* Me: *"Yes it is. It was one person job, a freaking madlad!"*

I love your reactions especially pointing out how these space marines are so efficient, they almost leave no room for hesitation. Especially the part where the one marine was coughing blood and then in just a few seconds was on HIGH ALERT MODE like damn, if I were him, imma be still screaming from the pain or pass out.

Astartes is the pinnacle of 40k animation to date. Nothing beats it

The channel Arbitor Ian has a great primer on Space Marines

Glad you guys like the vid. It's pretty cool. I've been reading warhammer 40k for 18 years and to see younger people getting into it and all the new content now is pretty rad. lol Keep up the good work guys.

"We are all going to die!" "No you tripping bro~" *Sucker punch and empties a clip into the fool.*

love that they see some 7 foot tall genetically engineered super soldiers, that us normal folk would see as demi gods, and say "thats literally me". 😆 these guys give off vibes similar to that guardsman who stood in between the emperor and horus and thought "i could fuckin take him"

The Space marines are called the "Angels of Death" for a reason.

6:15 - I love your enthusiasm and energy. Think about it like this, Space Marines are basically walking tanks. They're wearing ceramite armor and firing bolters (rocket propelled exploding projecties). It takes something anti-armor to have a chance with them, like the sapper's charge the dude was running with, or the multi-laser squad weapon they rolled up.

Warhammer 40K is simultaneously the nerdiest and the coolest shit ever and Astartes is everything i love about 40K summarised. Everything about it goes RIDICULOUSLY hard

“IM GOING IN! CAN YALL DO SOMETHING PLEASE!!! Yeah I’m dead bro…” story of my life

Non Warhammer fans start their journey into the warp? Subbed.

“Not a lot of talking scenes” Warhammer motto: shoot first talk later😂

Fun fact, I believe the creator of this actually got his OC space marine legion officially recognized by Games Workshop, the creator of WH40K and is now part of the official lore

"They will be my Space Marines, and they will know no fear" - The Emperor of Mankind

To think we almost lost these when the 40k Warhammer ban hammer was swinging.

Remember, Henry Cavill (our latest Superman) has been painting Warhammer 40k figurines for *decades* and he’s directing an official series now.

Just remember: not a single world was spoken until you heard those weird demon balls mumbling shit to one another. Just remember no words were spoken, but we understood each and every action, communication and nuance between.

Love how precisely you picked up on the lore-specific characteristics of Space Marines. They dont run away. They dont fear. They dont hesitate. You got them locked in

This animation is and always will be a masterpiece As a few other comments have stated, Bricky's a solid choice with his intro to every 40k faction, their long videos, but often pretty worth it, another good 40k youtuber is Majorkill, he's become pretty big lately, he covers far more specific subject sin 40k, such as certain characters, factions, events and questions that people normally don't ask for 40k (example, he has a video on what type of food each faction eats), his videos are often far shorter being about 10-13 mins on average, and often "dumbed down" and said differently whilst still getting the point across. Only thing with him is that his sense of humor isn't for everyone, however he's still a solid 40k youtuber anyway, loved the energy in this vid, new sub!

I don't know if this has already been covered, but the guy with the weird "I" on his back was an Inquition Psyker. Psykers are space wizards that get their powers from Space Hell (otherwise known as "The Warp") and when a Psyker gets posessed by a Warp entity, they become a gateway for something a lot more powerful than those Space Marines. Even as fast as the guys in the white armor and capes killed that Psyker, they were cutting it close for having their entire ship destroyed.

When the one marine tried firing his plasma pistol into the sphere, (I don't know if this is verified or just fan theory) he was overcharging the gun, which is a dangerous thing to do with a plasma weapon anyway. He probably knew there was a good chance of the pistol exploding and taking his hand with it, but it was a last-ditch Hail Mary tactic because there were no other options left.

there is so much lore, 40K is a loremasters dream.

interesting fact about the hooded dude. He's a psycher. He was listening in on the conversation between the orbs which not only takes insane power but also insane concentration and he was doing it undetected. you can hear him scream "RECALL YOUR MEN IMMEDIATELY" when he snaps out of focus, but since he broke his concentration he alerted the orbs of his presence allowing them to overload him and probably posses him. he sacrificed his life to try to save those space marines.

Brotha, I am locked in here!

"must be the extra organs..." you guys are great!

"THATS MEEE! THATS MEE BRO!" You are already one of us. OneOfUsOneOfUS! lol im here for it

Also these guys would speak to each other but we cannot hear them because they speak in a secure channel through their helmets.

Their rounds are basically rocket propelled explosive bullets

I love seeing a Warhammer baptism! Welcome to the grim dark future 😂

I fell deep into 40k lore thanks to Syama Pedersen's Astartes. Even purchased Horus Rising online.

Basically to explain the plot of this project as best as we understand things. This chapter of Space Marines were sent in to put down a rebellion that had a Chaos (Demon) artifact. The tall guys were higher ranking servants of the artifact (demon) who possessed psychic powers. While "You" and "your squad" were infiltrating the rebel ship and attempting to secure the artifact/destroy it back on your home ship the leader of your Chapter of Marines along with another officer and one of the psychics who serves along side your chapter had a similar artifact (demon) imprisoned. The Psychic (robe guy) was trying to get information from the artifact and managed to eavesdrop on a conversation between the two artifacts. The prisoner artifact advised the one on the rebel ship to get out of dodge because the Space Marines couldn't be mind controlled or stopped. The advised escape was so urgent that the imprison orb told the other to take the marines that were surrounding it with it if it had to, to ensure it escapes. The psychic turns to the Chapter Master and warns him of what he has heard. The Chapter Master tells one of his men to warn you and your squad. Meanwhile, the imprisoned orb attacks the psychic guy, who seemingly launched his own psychic attack right before he started getting possessed and terminated. Meanwhile on the rebel ship, we can see you turn your head, getting the radio message in your helmet just as things go sideways. The demon begins to draw you all in as you attempt and fail to escape. When you awake in the darkness you are in the warp (realm of demons) and you see the demon's true form clasping you and your squad before it is hit by something that kills it (a parting fairwell from our Psychic friend who got possessed back on the ship). As a result of this your are each flung across the warp and end up in different parts of it before the video ends. I'm sure I'm missing a few things but this is the gist!

Love it when non warhammer fans get excited

This is the best warhammer content I’ve seen in months!

Love the guys admiring the space marines resolve without knowing the context with context its 10x better literally walking into a mini hell to confront a hell portal

Genuinely loved your reactions lol

"that was a clean set up, I mean he did sacrifice 50 soldiers" lol honestly thats a good ratio for humans to space marines in a battle. Now youre thinking like a commissar! (oh yeah, I highly suggest a youtuber called SODAZ for more awesome animations. SODAZ black templars, SODAZ siege, and SODAZ death korp of krieg are some i remember off the top of my head.

I love seeing folks from all different walks of life get into this universe I've loved for over 2 decades. It's good to see it 😄

Welcome to the Warhammer family where no one is the good guy, everything is war and grit and the Orks are so f'ing hilarious (example: they believe the color purple makes them invisible..... idk... have you ever seen a purple ork? lmfao). Space Demons vs Humans vs Aliens vs Demon Humans vs Space Egyptians vs serial killer elves. The best lore ever and I'm just glad you loved the Space Marines as much as you're supposed to XD I hope you have as much fun with it all as I have.

gota appreciate how The Astartes Project can make fans of those who never heard of Warhammer 40k

If you guys want to see more warhammer stuff, there's this web series called If the Emperor had a text to speech device. The RU-vid channel is Bruva Alfabusa.

"In the face of a space marine, there is no hope" -some random person-

"A couple of bullets"^^ Yeah, thats one way to describe Bolter-rounds. Another way would be, according to the lore: "Self propelled impact grenades the size of a can of red bull"^^

I'm 100% sure this two are High ! 🤣 i mean the dude keep screaming "IAM STILL UP SHOOTING ! OOH IAM RUNNING TOWARDS THEM !" 🤣

I love you reactions! First video of yours I've seen, subscribed and will be back for more.

That marine after barfing, immediately: “aight, but where am I now?”

So, here is some information for you: Space Marines stand 8ft. to 10ft. Space Marines are generically modified to have multiple lungs, hearts, ability to spit acid, etc. Space Marine armor is similar to that of a tank. Space Marine weapons fire rounds that you would fire from a tank. The rounds explode after impact and would blow a person in half.

I can just imagine an Inquisitor saying “Yo, you geeking out bro?” Before destroying the heretic…🤣🤣🤣🤣 Perfection.

Those dots on the space Marines head represent how long said marine has been in service. That one has served for 200 years.
