SPACE MARINE CREATION/RECRUITMENT - Your guide on becoming an Astartes | WARHAMMER 40,000 Lore 

Your'e spoiling us Luetin09!

could we get future videos on the Astra Militarum, The Emperors hammer

Hell yeah, this is what I subbed for. I knew complaining or unfollowing wasn't the way to go, and I have now been rewarded. Thank you!

At about 34:25 "Magnifact" was used a second time. Eh, but who reads the words, anyway? The God Emperor would approve.

do you have a video like this on the sisters of battle?

A Harlequin Solitair ... I wish, I wish, I wish

That or a Rogue Trader.

Ork

Dead? Only if you´re lucky, it will be a quick boltround or lasgun shot to the head and then lights out. IF you are unlucky well lets us count the ways you could be caught by the Drukhari, and turned into living furniture. You could be possed by a demon forced to watch from a corner of your mind as your body does unspeakable things. You could be turned into a servitor with just enough mental capacity left for you to understand what has happened to you as you are forced to obey every command given to you. You could risk getting caught by the Emperor´s children, sure you will eventually die you soul hurled screaming into the warp to be chased and ripped apart by demons, but before that you will be praying for death a billion times over before it is finally granted to you. So dead only if your lucky.

I would be a primarch of my own bitchin chapter of space marines. Then I would make the emperor tickle my butthole from his lame lil throne.

Ninja heretic suicide bombers! What a fun day!

Inquisitor Anderson: (in Irish ofc): It is the sacred duty of His Holy Inquisition to punish the daemon. The heretic and the Xeno.

Nice hellsing abridged drop!

Like that scene in captain underpants

Is this a hellsing abridged reference?

Chris D Doomguy: hell came to me, and I sent it home

Captain America: At least I didn’t die 5 seconds after landing. Space Marine: ...

@@gooeygo2515 I love that the doom slayer is so terrifying, when the forces of hell finally knocked him out no one had to balls to actually try and kill him, only to throw him into stasis XD

@Conrad Kujur Not if he has Thor's hammer with him.

the ultimate warrior: Doomguy goes through space marine training and geneseed surgery; and is then injected with Captain America's super soldier serum. I know that'd probably result in a super roided-out daemon of Khorne; but it'd still be cool to see

hold my aids

Mortarion: Ah shit, here we go again.

Nurgle: Hold my intestines.

*Hold my plague*

Hold my ebola

Not all chapters are this magnanimous

@@akaroth7542 oooooo….magnanimous! Great vocabulary. It’s good to see other WH40k fans be so educated. BROTHERS!

Reading book 4 of the Horus heresy right now and it actually talks about failed aspirants to the death guard legion (pre-heresy) and most of them die in the trials if they fail. Those that fail but survive generally accept the “emperor’s peace” meaning they effectively ask for death due to the shame. The one that didn’t in the context of this book was saved by captain garro and made his housecarl and pisses off other death guard by his very existence, they claim he’s sullying their name by flaunting his failure or something.

​@@KingCuba vocabulary gets you off huh? I heard about this thing called school I bet it'd be like a wet dream for you

Wholesome like your friend returning the laptop he borrowed with a "i deliberately pissed in the keyboard but somehow it didn't break, so you can have it back..."

Step three profit

Evo trooper step 4. Join the Deathkorp

Step 3: Don't attract a Hive fleet.

Can't take a single step on a deathworld without dying though...

Most important step. Step 5: PURGE!

If you order now, you get a second roll free !

turn rolls of tape into power armor through will, that sounds like something an Ork would do.

The real black carapace

Thats some kinky BDSM my boy..

You know what i just got an idea from that *Proceeds to put flex tape on the eye of terror* Hmm that was way easier than i first anticipated

God I love that book

Everyone should have a bestie like Torgaddon.

Link pls

Link

Link?

Link

Link you fool.

Irondiver Well there are the space wolves who like to have sex and drink. Guess they are the weird ones.

No, one book the Wolfs (full astarties) were actually whoring it up during downtime and when approached one woman it turned out to be a Xenos.

Chaos Astartes sometimes tend to rape.

@@lkvideos7181 in this context, rape is an understatement.

I wonder if because they are changed during puberty, can the sexual development be altered to the point where it doesn't occur normally and only developed as a gene seed flaw.

**Laughs in Nurgle**

Nurgle: I fart in your general direction. Your Primarch was a hamster and your Emperor smelt of elderberries!

outlier 07 “These men who give themselves to me” *muffled laughter of thirsting Gods*

Laughs in chaos

Slaanesh: hold my STD

Love the grimdark, even when its pride you die from it

@@joshme3659 you breathed the wrong way death, missed your dental appointment? Death, spilled some beer? Believe it or not death

They wouldn't even know what "deathwatch" means. And if they did it wouldn't be for long.

​@thierryfaquet7405 that's exactly what the OP said lol. Context clues are your friend.

Gets turned into dreadnought

@@ethanguest3438 Dies upon landing again

For the glory of the Imperium

Astartes ultimate killing machine: dies in few seconds after landing

Or... simply go Suspend Animation, Revive again, and then kill again. Live, Die, Repeat.

Same, never played it but I wanted to know what it was all about. Never knew it was so interesting.

Played it myself it's a good strategy miniatures game fun to paint if your into that but it's also expensive but as of late price has become reasonable.

I personally think the game is a total waste of time and money and do not get its appeal . I'll stick to reading books

I'm in the same boat.....have zero interest in wasting money buying figurines and painting them to once every 3 months have a 4 hour match with somebody..... would much rather read about the lore or dream that they will make a movie about it worth watching.(yes, i've already seen the ultramarine movie)

@@barklordofthesith2997 Watch Helsreach On RU-vid

Agreed

Astartes would laugh at nearly any other "super soldier" from just about every universe

Dont Matter They’d probably have a bro-mance with Spartans.

Carter Kinoy While I love the Spartans, the space marines would absolutely shit on them.

@@spectralassassin6030 Definitely shit on all the Spartans including Chief.

Closest "Transformation" Movie we have is "Halo-The Fall of Reach" different Universe, but still Kids made into SuperSoliders^^

Arch Warhammer is the only one I know better for lore but I always start new friends with the Emperor video 1&2 he did awhile back, it watches like a movie.

Can't stand Arch Warhammer. Low quality mic and waffles too much in many of his videos. Can't stand his voice either.

@@demongrenade2748 yeah, I only watch Arch Warhammer if it's a video Luetin hasn't covered yet. He's not nearly as bad as OneMindSyndicate, even though that guy has some okay vids with good info, alot of them are exaggerated and annoying. I still leave likes for his vids, just because he does the best he can. Luetin is definitely the best though.

DemonGrenade274 quite enjoy grim dark narrator

TY for this! Your videos are what got me wanting to find out more about this world after playing some of the games. Excellent work!

If people cannot accept a few simple errors then that's not your problem. I've watched and re-watched all of these lore videos several times. Great content. Keep up the excellent work Luetin.

Errors or not, you do you man. Great vid.

You do a fantastic job, I just got into 40k (in the last month, was always a D&D guy) and loooove your videos!

I fully support, from time to time telling the fans to go fuck themselves, myself included. Your content is excellent, no WH40K lore videos get everything 100%. GW has intentionally left some of its lore as vague so these discussions can happen.

Yea seriously fuck living in the 40k universe

Outsiders be like: “I wonder what this Warhammer 40k stuff is. Maybe I should get into it.” Outsiders after a day or two reading up on the lore: “Nevermind, I’m going back to (insert previous fandom here).”

@@someguy4844 It could never exist, people need some kind of solace in life or they just stop doing anything or suicide!

@@Pilkie101 Most people probably do okay in 40k, it's just that these brutal horrors lurk in the (grim) darkness of space. Anyone who isn't on a death world or the lower levels of a hive likely has a community, family, friends, their faith and at least a tolerable job.

@@AnimeFan9833 yet you will still be absolutely no one. Just another insignificant, replaceable cog in the machine for the glory of Mankind.

I don't think he had the bugs in mind lol

Send in the Salamanders

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

thanks as always, you're early every time :D lol

@@Luetin09 A true dedication.

I feel like they'll lose their shit by the time they can eat memories

Really late but Roanoke Gaming is a channel that does a medical look into the biology of people or entities from films and games. He did two videos on the Astartes gene seed.

@@abysso5786 Yeah, but he’s also a geek like the rest of us. Good stuff though. What we need is a normie doc.

I am a doctor (also a gamer) . I think the implants are cool. They are visionary yet feasible in future. I have already seen reports of China and India racing to create super soldiers

@@xerctam7612 Oh that's interesting! Honestly the GeneSeed I see being the least feasible, because changing someone DNA after birth with 'just' a injection does not really sound that... feasible. I could be wrong.

Just like roman armor

I've read and or heard the opposite. The rib cage fuses together to become another layer of armor, not like ceremite, but more like Lvl 4 current plates. I'll have to dig into this now.

You would probably like the Salamanders then

Yeah always liked how the Salamanders cared more for humans compared to some of the other chapters. Forgot about this comment lol.

@@villagernumber9233 Well, two years is a long time

Salamanders remember and are allowed to visit and spend as much time with them as they want when not on a mission.

The problem with this, the creation process changes not just the core body, but they end up to resemble their Primarchs, not all, but a chunk do.

15 minutes ? Isn't this one of the titles for the guardsman novels, definitely not for the space marine

The book is called 15 hours and its a good book.

(Radio voice)... In the eternal war of the dark future, the average life expectancy of an Astartes was just fifteen minutes, fi-fi-fi-fi-fifteen, fifteen, fi-fi-fi-fi-fifteen...

I imagine them lasting longer than that.

Even then it would be too dangerous. Don’t forget the thunder warriors were physically stronger then the space marines

A being born from madness has no place in a civilized world

@@doomedbringer I mean yeah, but wouldn't it be more effective to unleash them on an enemy rather than just kill them. I understand completely why he killed them but there are better ways is all. Maybe he just didn't have the transports yet idk

that is just 40k version of doom

@@roguepsykerhaaker4813 I think the Emperor thought of it as too much of a liability, sure thay might die off from orks but what if they survived? Or worse, what would happen if Chaos got a hold of them? They may be loyal, but they're still human and susceptible to the warp's influence.

Rarely ever happens. In 40k lore, a single Space Marine can be deployed and turn the tide of a war, even if it’s Orks, through their strategic genius and/or sheer strength and fighting ability.

I guess at that point, the kill:death ratio is probably astonishing.

A simple greenskin could never kill a space marine

Kinda funny how easy it is to kill these guys.😂

He could either take a warboss and squiggoth out solo, or he could be krumped by a lucky gretchin sniper.

Its the circcllle of... RU-vid.

Suprise, no, everything about this universe is a lot worse.

Oh, sweet summer Child...

Spartans never went through anything that bad

A Spartan’s experience is like a day care center compared to a Space Marine’s and I’m a BIG Halo fan

Daycare? It's more like vacation in Hawaii compared to the sheer brutality of Space Marines. Especially with the (true or untrue) fact that there are *no* real anesthetic. You gotta deal with these operations, the flaying of your skin to get your black carapace, like a fucking champ. There is a reason no one wants to live in the 41st millennium!

Welcome

Same buddy

haha

John 117 never tangled with Eldrich Horrors before and don't count the Flood Gravemind it's a pissant compared to the Chaos God's.

no lol, a Flood Gravemind is nothing compared to a freaking Chaos * God *, it's right in the name. And I don't recall there being eldrich horrors in the Halo universe, but yeah, I'm sure some of Lovecraft's creations could make the Chaos Gods look like children in a sandbox.

As an avid Halo lore fan, believing that is just stupid.

Ancient Flood Gravemind vs. Tyranids main force Hive Mind. That would be an interesting fight.

What chapter? :-)

I'm building blood angels right now 😂

Blood angles are SUPREME

Same here man awesome lore vids

Don't go meat riding the characters like all these other bias fans do. The misinformation and lies are annoying

*GRIM DARK*

that sounds like a storyline for a game. u started as a servitor, then somthing happened to ur home chapter, and u rose to become an imperial guard, then space marine.

+Light 1988 That sounds rather incredibly unlikely ^^ A grim dark game ala full 40k would go down like this: You're a little child in midst of a massive Hivecity underworld dominated by gangs and somehow survive through all that terror and misery, even outsmarting one of the gang leaders as your heart is originaly pure but you learn to survive by any means possible. You are then picked up as a potential aspirant by an observant eye, the Adeptus Astartes. You pass every test, show feats beyond human before you even become a Space Marine. Pass many challenges, defeat a monster interupting the trial, try to save the mortaly wounded Space Marine trainer who you developed a grudge against but ended up admiring. Before he dies, the Space Marine says you've passed and approves you as his brother. However when other Space Marines arrive, they only see you with their dead brother and no trace of the attacker. So they hold you guilty, banish you, labotomize and you're sent off to some distant labor world as a servitor.

@@danielOconahap you do realise that when you're made a servitor your mind is wiped and from that point on you're basically just a brainless machine, correct? there's no real coming back from that.

Light 1988 How would you start as a servitor? You’re a lobotomized slave.

My eyes! Can't claw them out.... Fast enough!

No Arch's lore explanation is better than this but I really think Tactica Imperialis' lore videos are superior

Cure4Living yes Arch’s style lets even a novice learner to 40k understand things to a fair extent.

At least he ain’t OneMindAutisticSyndicate

bahamut dragon uh..... just wondering, why even design them like this? Going to bathrooms doesn’t really take away from their powers and abilities

@@oaktharas In a battle for an entire world, wherein they are awake and in constant contact with Tyranids or Orks for days or weeks at a time? Going to the bathroom would mean letting your guard down.

​@@oaktharasthey can get out of the armor, most times assisted by tech priests, chapter servitors, etc. Under the armor is the one piece suit that seals them in. The under armored suit with the neural connections and locks work with the armor plating.

Your wallet now serves the Emperor. PRAISE BE!

SoulSoundMuisc screw the emperor, praise Nurgle

ej. crusing: Whoah, whoah… Hey, I praised Nurgle aaaaaall through winter. I was a very devoted host for his gifts. My Penitent Crusade continues.

(washes hands)

Credit where it's due. GW deserves that credit by way of their price models. It's a fine line they ride.

*Picks up Chainsword* For the Emperor!

LMAO

You wouldn't be standing alone

Yo same

this one made me lol

There are some conflicts in this lore tho.. "seek out candidates who have shown promise and unnatural promise in combat" And the age was what again 10.. yeah ten years old gang member with superior fighting skills. Surviving these tests of amputation and everything. What does 10 year old even understand about loyalty . Yeah you mentionet about growing up quickly but 10 year olds are 135cm tall and weight 30kg in average.

DuBstep115 Kind of like how for most of human history (in real life) you were a “man” at the age of 15 or 16 and girls 12 years old were married and started having children. King Charles XII for example was 18 when he led Swedens military in war. Take that and amplify it. Humanity in the 40k world is surrounded by xenos (aliens that are hostile in large part to humans), chaos (which wants to corrupt and destroy everything), and empty black space. So if a god-like man called the Emperor raises legions of demi-god soldiers who sole purpose is to protect humanity your choices of loyalty are pretty clear. In todays society (2020) we humans are arguably at our weakest point. Read some 40k and 30k lore and youll understand more.

@@DuBstep115 Children can be turned into formidable killing machines. Children can be quite evil and ruthless as well. Read Lord of the Flies. You prolly wouldnt have written your post if you had.

@@robertosheldon9061 What evil and ruthless has to do with anything? Sure some fucked up kid can hammer cat to death when he is 5 and enjoy it. But if these 10 year olds have ALREADY shown skills at combat (age 8-9) I find it very fucking higly unlikely.

He probably has a whole legion of fire extinguisher-wielding Astartes following close behind him :D

Nah, that's just an Astartes fart. XD

All clothing is flammable at high enough temperatures

@@coolafman : Everything burns if you use enough Chlorine Triflouride. ... probably even Astartes. And the ground they stand on.

🤔Rogal Dorn's Celestial Lions😑

Hot

Indeed, I could imagine Arstates being amazing gladiator fighters and being able to fight for a very long time!

An*

*Disagrees in all guardsmen party*

The closest game adaption you mention above would be warhammer 40k space marine,try it if you haven’t play it yourself brother.

Can someone please reskin Halo with space marines and tyrannid? That would be awesome.

don't worry it won't be for long

If we're lucky, that is.

Unless you are A. Jeff Bezos level of wealthy B. An ork or C. A rouge trader

Who knows, you might get lucky with the Tyranids. You have nothing but the swarm, and the swarm is all you need.

Who said they don't? Some chapters are nomads and don't have an actual home world like the dark angels so some of them are bound to have some recruits from Catachan... If they can find them! :D But there are some worlds that space marines don't have the possibility to recruit from, Forge worlds are one them, I just don't know if Catachan is also one of those worlds with that restriction.

Space wolves recruit from Fenris, which is a feral death world.

SWTOR Guru Fenris is like a backwards savage Viking world fuck that Buuuut catachan does seem nuts

@@mr420quickscops2 Catachan's wildlife are naturally evolved Tyranids. Even plants eat, shoot, and even explode.

You have no idea how much that tickled my ribs.

they are masters of the mop and broom, unparalleled use of floor waxers, none can best them in keeping the grounds neat

This is a message from Nurgle, hows leg day going?

ej. crusing fuck u

+Cure4Living That is not quite correct. You also learn more about them in some of the recent novels. The Custodes as stated in "Watchers of the Throne" ( story takes place during Gathering Storm and Guilliman's return ) for example, have been constantly out on secret missions to assess every kind of potential or implied threat not just the Emperor's personal safety but the Imperium in general. To put it simply: whatever Imperial institution or force, including the most secretive and powerful, ever thought and thinks of knowing of some threat anywhere in the universe, the Custodes already knew long before them. The task of protecting the Emperor, the very beacon of mankind, not symbolicaly but literaly, is generaly falsely translated by most people into just standing guard. That couldn't be further from truth. Preferably such an aforementioned implied or potential threat is immediatly dealt with before it actualy becomes one. Neither are the bulk of Custodes strictly confined to just the palace perimeters and vaults. If a Custodes suspects some plot or shady activity anywhere on Terra or the sol system he will be devoted to get to the bottom of it, if needed taking a few other Custodes with him. Other than Astartes, a Custodes can act completly autonomously because of the relatively lose hierarchy in their ranks - despite the fact they still use ranks and titles. It's simply because Custodes never act unreasonably or careless. Another very constant thing they've been doing for so many millenia are the often overlooked so called "Blood Games". Besides simply testing their own abilities, it is all about threat assessment. The Custodes will travel to hostile sectors and capture formidable foes or creatures ranging anything from Chaos to Tyranids and pit them against one or several of their own *inside* the Imperial palace perimeters. If said creature somehow manages to survive or even win and tries to escape, it will be cut to pieces by the surrounding sentry guns. Those samples are also used to study Mankind's enemies, their anatomy and abilities. Of course all those activities are completly sealed even from highest echelons. Only the Custodes and their servants are allowed to know about them.

Custodians were hand picked by the emperor he probably just saw who had the potential to be the greatest warriors in the planet and started their process with little to no trials until they were ready to fight

@Reverend Hammer *GASP* Heresy!

@Reverend Hammer 👁👄👁

Love the end of that book where Lexandro instantly *BLAMS* Draco as previously agreed. It just comes out of nowhere. Epic.

That's a good story..read that years ago.

Who knows, in 10 years when CGI has gotten even better than it already has, 40k will be the new marvel universe

@@jarijansma2207 agreed. I think better cgi (and its already pretty amazing) will finally make a star wars old republic series possible. Another thing, I think serialized shows are a better posed to serve a cinematic exploration of the universe.

@@varun009 agreed, this universe is perfect for multiple series/ story lines, though I do hope the setup would be more like an emotional drama from the perspective of some guardsman we get intimate with. To see the universe through the eyes of an actual human instead of some invincible iron man adds to that perspective of, of being a tiny dust mote in a sea of metal and flesh . Idk.. 40k games might also be way more engaging if given the same treatment

IMO 40K is too big for movies, they should use it for TV shows

@@ianharrison5758 nah, like the marvel universe is quite big but still a very usable setting for a story

I've seen jpegs that indicate that they reproduce homosexuality Via the butt
