Royal Marine Reacts To SPACE MARINE CREATION/RECRUITMENT | LUETIN09 

Age of Sigmar is a separate universe to warhammer 40k Warning:! Flame War in the replies

the origin story book you are looking for is "Dante", describing the young salt farmer child becoming the legendary and ancient chapter master Dante, king of angels.

Remember how in the Space Marine game you entered the Imperial Guard bunker and the wounded Cadian Guardsmen there talked? One of them was grateful to the Emperor for "getting to see a Space Marine before the end" or something like that. Note how the Guardsmen and 2nd Lieutenant Mira tend to call them "My Lords" and some even kneel to them.

The salamanders are one of the only chapters that let their recruits go visit their families. Salamanders are absolute bros and actually care about humanity

Luetin09: "Thunder Warriors where unstable and the Emperor couldn't use them after the Unification war so killed them." Luke: "But why would he kill them?" XD

Fun fact: Space Wolves have Krakens on their world, and they are 5 miles long. The craziest part is they occasionally hunt them for sport.

When Halsey created Spartans, they called her a monster. When Emperor created Space Marines, they called him a god.

lmfao can't wait to see his face when he sees just how ridiculous a generic space marine is.

Grey Knights have literally god emperors genes they call “The Emperor's Gift“ also a pretty good book in that name lol.

Imagine doing every single special forces training in the world and do that for ten years

Ragnar for Space Wolves, Dante for Blood Angels, they cover from before, though and to after becoming a Space Marine

"There's always one Space Marine that's a bit of a turd." - Ahh Leandros.

Space marines are humanity’s most elite *readily available* (most of the time) fighting force.

Note: Famous authors in the 50s and 60s conceptualized Space marines. GW ran with it in the late seventies and eighties. Modern Sci-Fi like Halo, used elements to make their own versions.

The Space Wolf Omnibus follows the story of Ragnar Blackmane from his life in his tribe though recruitment, implantation, training and his life beyond. Its a rousing saga.

I remember my first time watching Luetin09 videos, i made myself comfortable closed my eyes and sinked in story.

It's funny to see how once you discovered Warhammer and SCP all your content changed to that. Love these videos!

I’m pretty sure that Dune was actually one of 40k’s major inspirations.

Honestly for how little time you've been at this, you have GREAT instincts for how this all works. It's so much fun to watch these reactions and see your knowledge of the universe expanding and building on itself. Mad props Luke, great watches

Soul Hunter is a great book from the Night Lords trilogy and there is a part in that where one of the characters reflects on his previous life

Luetin09 is one of the best 40k lore guys on the platform, happy to see at least one of his videos on here

Luetin09 let's the artwork talk for itself a lot of the time. His videos are incredibly well produced and he agonizes over making sure his videos are perfect. It takes him longer but they are true works of art.

Warhammer Fantasy and 40k are separated universes, but they do share a lot in common. Mainly the gods. You coudl say as the gods of Chaos are looking into many dimensions, they just like ours the most, because we give them most power, so that's why there are same gods in both universes, but Warhammer Fantasy is completely separated from 40k while Age of Sigmar is continuation of Warhammer Fantasy (also separated from 40k, just sharing a lot in common)

btw Bricky has a podcast called Adeptus Rediculous, where he explains a chosen 40k topic, very similar format to his all factions explained. Idk if it's a good format to react to, but you can certainly check it out in your spare time.

Space Marines are the most elite force in the sense that they are a, well, force. Grey Knights are highly specialized and secretive, so not many people know about them (and also they are still Space Marines) and Custodes don't do much. Astartes are a standing force that constantly responds to threats all over the Imperium

If you want to know more about the space wolves AND the process for astartes recruitment, I would suggest you read the Space Wolf Omnibus. This, in part, covers Ragnar Blackmane's recruitment to the chapter prior to his ascension to the rank of Wolf Lord.

Absolutely loving all this 40k content mate, been into it since I was 12 (now 36). Stick with playing Space Marine too, so much more than Orks left to fight & weapons to unlock!!

“It hurts, you’re gonna go down” you haven’t seen nothing yet.

Arch or Arch Warhammer is a very good 40k channel to check out

Luetin09's video on the Grey Knights is what really made me fall in love with them, and is one of the main reasons that I'm building them as an army.

Every time luke compares 40k with Halo a feel a punch in my guts xD

Storm Forged Eternals from Age of Sigmar were made by Sigmar the god of humanity he is like a mini emperor without psychic powers. But unlike The Emperor, Sigmar became a God because he wanted to. There were 20 Primarchs, 9 loyal, 9 betrayed the Emperor and 2 were yeeted out and we know nothing about them.

Luetin09 is the gold standard for Warhammer 40k lore. Love his analytical approach.

Got into luetin09 WAY back when he did bf3/4 content. I was overjoyed when I rediscovered him a year or two ago with a whole catalogue of 40k content.

16:13 yes, the codex lays out chapter sizes, tactics, how many assault squad companies and so on that a chapter should have. The codex is not meant to be interpreted strictly but after 10,000s there are plenty of people that don't get the memo.

Read the Ragnar blackmane trilogy by William king, it goes from when he is a normal human through all the processes and through his life as a space marine

The Space Wolf omnibus is the literal book series you're after! It charts Ragnar's journey becoming one of the Vlka Fenryka and rising through the ranks to Wolf Lord.

May I suggest Arch Warhammers video on this too. He goes more into depth with how the process in done.

Originalhuman: “Getting kicked in the nuts hurts” Warhammer Fantasy: *Archaon getting yeeted in the nuts so hard by an ork war boss*

Once you feel comfortable enough with the lore, I recommend watching "If the Emperor had a Text to speech device" It's a fantastic spin-off with amazing writing

Dude Red Rising is such a good book series glad you mentioned it.

Glad to see you finally reacting to one of the loremaster's videos. Welcome to the club! You're in to a treat and a very, very deep rabbi hole. Just a bit more context. Space wolves are a regular Space marine chapter(as if there's anything regular about Astarties). The Grey Knights are space marines, that are part of the Inquisition. They are different and apart from being the brutal overpowered as space marines are, they are also psykers with immense power that are beyond match. I think the word is Grey Knights are to astarties as astarties are to imperial guardsmen. Lutein covers two very important lore segments that I haven't seen anyone else cover to the extent he does, that are incredibly significant- the STC history(important why humanity has outlawed A.I.) and the Titans, which I know you'll absolutely love how ridiculously overpowered they are.

this man becoming a full ass warhammer channel and I'm 10000% here for it

The book "Dante" by Guy Haley tells in great detail about recruitment into Blood Angels, starting from the main character as a child setting out to join them and ending on him returning to his tribe as a Space Marine Captain.

You might be interested in the story of Lukas the Trickster, of the Space Wolves.

29:10 I always imagine thats how a 40k themed Battle Royal game would be. You're an aspirant for some unknown chapter. A bunch of aspirants dropped into random planets (the maps) with various environmental hazards while also worrying about other aspirants (players) as you try to be the last one standing.

Members of the Salamanders chapter do still stay in contact with their family on their homeworld. They actually do care about human life unlike the majority of chapters, such as the Black Templars chapter would be fine and dandy using civilians as bait.

I definitely recommend reading 'Space Wolf' as it covers the full process of recruitment of the Space Wolves chapter, as Wolf Priests (A mixture of Chaplains and Apothecaries) will continually monitor and watch over various tribes to look for specific individuals who are able to pull off great deeds, such as slaying a Fenrisian troll, being able to survive against a raid from a rival tribe in the case of Ragnar Blackmane, or showing a great cunning while on the hunt. As on Fenris (the world shown with the snow/ice, volcanoes, and the Kraken), nearly the entire planet is geologically unstable, and so tribes are constantly shifting and changing trying to survive against earthquakes, blizzards, hurricanes even if they are along a coast, or volcanic eruptions because the islands and continents shifting apart or into each other. The only stable island is that of Asaheim which is where the Space Wolves Fortress monastery known as the Aett, or the Fang is located upon, however the natives fight for survival includes a whole slew of predatory wildlife such as the Fenrisian troll, Fenrisian Wolf, or Fenrisian Kraken as well as conflict with other tribes.

Disclaimer: The Emperor did not creat the Techno Barbarians.

Leutin 09 has done the very best retelling of the fall of Cadia. Its in the second part of the Imperiums worst defeats. Absolutely worth a look

OMG finally. I love Luetin09, he makes some of the best narrated content on youtube.

"Apparently the Grey Knights and the Space Wolves dont get along" Yeah, they like each other as much as the US and Russia during the Cold War.

This is one of the Best channels for New people to 40k, I hope you look into more of his.

Yes!!! Also will you continue the Helsreach reaction?

A good source for details on recruitment is actually in a number of the old Codex manuals for the various chapters. They talk about the differences, and the genetic mutation each chapter has, as well as their homeworlds and how they choose recruits. It's fairly condensed, but a good source.

The inquisition is actually a police force than standing army. Which is why they're deployed as auxiliary on tabletop.

The Space Wolf saga goes from Pre recruitment all the way through. Its a good read and covers your fav's right there.

The Space Wolf Omnibus around Ragnar Blackmane goes through recruitment and training through becoming a Scout and working his way up through the ranks.

We have Luetin09... Now Arch :D

Storm of Iron includes a small portion of Space Marine recruitment, while also being an incredible chaos marine and imperial guard book.

You get to see ragnar go from fenrisian savage to full on space wolf in the space wolves omnibus. I can't remember how much focus that part of his life gets, but it's in there.

To answer your question about who's '' the most elite'' or higher up the hierarchy: That would be the Adeptus Custodes AKA the Golden Banana Bois. They answer to the Emperor and to the Emperor alone, not even the Inquisition can order them around. The Space Marines though, well they fall under the jurisdiction of the Inquisition and there have been numerous instances where entire chapters have been declared ''heretics'' .

I read one 40k novel on the callousness of the Iron Hands recruitment called "Eye of Medusa" without going into it too much towards the end, when they were nearly done training they were given shotguns and autoguns and some basic armor and then split into teams and fought each other. Let's just say there were many injuries and several casualties. Also, once they were finally inducted... they get one of their hands cut off as initiation.

in the book spacewolf a space wolf captain recalls his trial to become one from start to finish damn good read

You can ready the space space wolf omnibus in this one you can see the entire trial they use in order to do the space marine process. Also the novel Dante explain the trial from the blood angels side.

Thunder Warriors suffered of severe bodily deterioration - cancer cells and stuff like that. They were Emperor's early project of hand-made human, and as such came with flaws. Rather than to see them suffer a long painful death, Emperor opted for a mercikill instead.

Last time I was this early OH was in a war.

Hey man, not gonna lie, at first I came for the 40k content but I ended up staying for your passion, your insight and your excitement about it all. Keep it up, cheers!

If you want female Space Marines just look at the sister of battle. I can’t type up the actual name but they can contend with space marines

The Night Lords omnibus has a Marine who met his mother. He... didn't recognize her. Sons Of Dorn is a book about a trio of Imperial Fists Scouts who have a hate-triangle (its like a love triangle, but the opposite) because they were recruited in the middle of a three way battle between Not-China, Not-France, and Not-Scotland. Each was a young soldier from each nation.

"The Descent of Angels" in the Horus Heresy series covers the origin story of a member of the dark angels chapter. might be right up your alley.

The ice world with volcanos near the end is Fenris, the home world of the Space Wolf chapter and one of the deadliest death worlds in the Imperium. Fun fact about the genetic differences between the chapters: each chapter is based on the genetic template of their Primarch. And when the Emperor created the Primarchs, he used some of his own DNA, but also spliced it with all kinds of weird shit (at least for some of the Primarchs). The space wolf Primarch, Leman Russ (an absolute badass with giant balls of purest adamantium) was created to be the Emperor's executioner - specifically, the executioner of other Primarchs, in case they got out of hand. As such, he needed to be loyal above all others, which may be why the Emperor used some canine DNA when creating Russ. So the Space Wolves literally have wolf DNA in them. I would also strongly recommend reading the Ragnar Blackman's novels - they are old, but it covers exactly the sort of origin story you are looking for.

For the recruitment of a space wolf, there is a tail in the book "Leman Russ" where Arjac Rockfist (a famous space wolf) explain to new recruit how his trail happen.

I don't really remember much about Sigmar and the 40k Emperor as being the same entity but the running theory was that Warhammer Fantasy took place on a segregated world within 40K. Magic in the fantasy world was also borne of Chaos, the epicenter of which was at the polar north. IIRC, there was some kind of malfunctioning "gate" above the world, created by the Old Ones, which allowed the energies of the warp to leak onto the planet. Why the planet was separate from the rest of 40k is a mystery (as far as technology goes) but the shares aspects of chaos, including daemons, lent itself to the supposed link between the two games. Been quite a while since reading Age of Sigmar stuff, but I think the gist of it is that the warp finally waxed to a breaking point, granting the followers of Chaos the power to overrun and destroy the world. Sigmar used his power to whisk away certain peoples to safety, elevating some of them to be his elite Stormguard, but all the races ended up on various "elemental" planes. One could interpret this as being various locations within the Warp... If that is the case then time becomes irrelevant, anything goes, and the Emperor of Man may very well be Sigmar in another form.

The Dante book walks you through the blood angels recruitment but also helps you get to know the soon to be chapter master, and the blood angels together.

Also the salamander chapter encourages their space marines to spend as much time with their families as possible even after they become a full space marine. They want them to maintain as much of their astartes humanity as possible.

I think I heard somewhere that the Space Wolves just chuck Aspirants into the Warp for a bit before pulling them back out. If they're still alive and relatively sane, they're in.

So glad you're watching lutein, that's where I learned all my lore, great content

Great you're starting to react to Luetin. In my opinion he has the most engaging and informative 40k videos, as well as the best production on his videos

I’m not sure if this was answered else where, but space wolves take their recruits, dump them out in the middle of nowhere and get them to return to fang (their fortress monastery) and the fun bit about fenris you’re not only challenged with the cold, like colder than winter Norway cold, but you’ll be hunted by the various, wolves, bears and trolls! So fun

1 Emporer 20 Primarchs (2 missing) to establish their own founding legions. Horus was the Emporers first Primarch of the Luna Wolves before his fall to Chaos. 9 legions (chapters) remained loyal to the Emporer while the other 9 become Chaos, thus began the Horus Heresy. Leman Russ, Primarch of the Space Wolves, was honoured by the Imperial Guard thus naming their main battle tank after him and supplied the Space Wolves with Leman Russ Exterminator tanks.

The Salamanders are one of the few chapters of space marines where battle brothers are allowed to return to their families, and even serve as generational mentors, as they will outlive multiple generations of their family.

If you want a space marine origin story then look no further than the Space Wold Omnibus for Ragnar Blackmane not only does it cover his life before becoming a spacemarine, but it covers the process for a Space Wolf recruit from Fenris, a faction you've shown interest in. The book goes from his views as a teen in a tribe and how he views the marines etc.

Space Marine Chapters and the Inquisition has butted heads with each other multiple times. Space Marines are some of the few factions in the Empire that can do that without necessarily having to fear it. I think the Space Wolfs are some of the most famous ones to tell them to fuck off. Custodes sits above Space Marines but they have only been bodyguards until very recently in lore so right now I would say they are the most elit of them all.

Space wolves omnibus book outlines there recruiting from the point of view of Ragnar Blackmane. From his childhood through training and all the way to his first mission as a space marine. Its a good read

Captain titus from the Space Marine game is the example all ultramarines/other chapters should aspire to. Respectful, dutiful, calm, and tactically sound. If only all ultramarines were as cool lol

Baldermort recently put out a long (3 hour) video on the Space Wolves that is part audio drama part deep dive lore study, and it's amazing. I highely recommend all his videos.

If you're looking for a training style space marine book the first Ragnar novel "Space Wolf" does that. It starts when he was basically a Viking roaming Fenris and follows him through the training and augmenting up to becoming a full blooded marine. I'd recommend getting the "Space Wolf Omnibus". It's not that expensive and has the first 3 Ragnar books (Space Wolf, Ragnar's Claw, Grey Hunter) and will give you a decent look at the early years of a Space Marine and the inner working of the Space Wolves.

Another book that goes through the life of a Space Marine is "Dante". The audiobook version is fantastic, it tells the story of the famous Blood Angels commander Dante starting as a young boy.

First off, let it be said that at this time, there are no actual canon depictions of the event at Mount Ararat, just eyewitness characters in the universe talking about the battle/massacre years or decades after the fact (and pretty much all those characters have some motive to bend the truth to make someone look better or worse). My personal understanding of that part of the lore is that the Thunder Warriors had to be killed because they were basically turning completely psychotic en-masse, started to murder allies and enemies alike around them during the actual Battle of Mount Ararat, and the Emperor had the rest of his forces put them down. More importantly, this wasn't simply a breakdown due to extreme stress from combat because their training or psychological conditioning was inadequate. It was an inevitable decline of their brain caused by the very implants that turned them into super soldiers. "Unstable" is a huge understatement for how the Thunder Warriors broke down at the end of the war to unify Terra under the Emperor's rule. A few Thunder Warriors did survive and didn't go completely insane for whatever reason, and some of those survivors actually think the Emperor did the right thing, killing their fellows at Mount Ararat.

William King, Space Wolf book series, is exactly what you're asking for to read about a boy becoming a Space Wolf. Good series.

The various chapters tends to have preferred worlds and types of recruits. The Space Wolfes takes their from their homeworld of Fenris and many other chapters does the same, mainly taking from their homeworld. Then you have the Black Templars that couldn't give a toss about the Codex and takes recruits from worlds they "conquer" or "cleanse". The Black Templars also care little for that 1000 man strong rule and is many thousands of men strong but no one dares to tell them they can't do that because they are that feared.

And a book about getting recruited is "Space Wolf" by William King ....tends to be easier(and cheaper) to get the omnibus

Lutein is basically a master degree professor about WH40k that you can find in RU-vid. He makes long videos that are fit for college classes about 40k.

If you want a book that covers a person from child to astartes, Dante is a perfect. It's the origin story of Dante for his ascension from boy, to aspirant, to scout, to battle brother, and finally captain.

Descent of Angels, 6th book in the Horus Heresy. Great origin story about a dark angels kid becoming a space marine

Luetin09 has two entire videos dedicated to the grey knights, definitely worth a watch. 👍

"Sons of Dorn" by Chris Roberson is a good starter book for 40k because it covers the induction of three brothers into the Imperial Fists. They probably have the most extreme induction process, due to using the Pain Glove.

the emperor started playing with gene seed prototypes during the time "Dark future" iis set. it mentions a mysterious scientist experimenting with something called geneseed.

In The Grim Darkness by guy Haley read by ABORDERPRINCE tells the recruitment of Decimus Felix not just as a space marine but his induction into the primaris project
