This one was heavily cut short, if I had pursued the original idea of covering each pattern of armour, AND going over the specialities held by each chapter/legion then I'm sure this would have ended up as being easily close to a 2h video!
I'm not exactly a friend of content created by implementing AI - and especially in context of 40k there are a ton of channels registered right about the time when generative AI became accessible to the public last year and cranking out a ton of cheap 40k content with an AI just retelling some narrative in form of a summary and even the quite advanced language models aren't able to hide it. Here on this channel on the other hand I'm willing to give it a pass because it's not a cheap shortcut but a tool you decided for on grounds of whatever rationale while it's the research and writing which makes for the effort here - no way an AI would be able to deliver something like this, there's legitimate human thought, time and creativity involved and if the alternative would be to not have such content at all because for instance you wouldn't make it for whatever reason without the option to have an AI doing the narration (and there are legitimate reasons - Stephen Hawking would have been able to talk with his "real voice" with current technology, just to mention a very obvious example) then I'm all here for it. While AI usually having the opposite effect your content is still extremly immersive, and that's a pretty unique achievement in its own right. Thanks for your work! ⚜️💀⚙️
they are so strong, so superb, so advanced . Yet stil they get crushed and sliced open by some Tyranid lifeforms or Necron Destroyers. Guess there is always a bigger fish out there!
It's just there to make certain important characters look cooler, that's it. It's weak as hell otherwise. How many space marines, chaos affiliated or not, have you read about that have some form of custom made terminator armor?
1:32 something about this image really stood out to me. As a relatively new 40k liker, I think this the first time I've seen an Astartes actually get hurt. They're so heavily armoured it was hard to even picture what damage to them would look like. The holes in the armour are huge, only the most savage of weapons could even dent this...to blow large holes in it though.. Also, I normally see them with a composed expression, either totally blank or giving a sense of satisfaction. This guy though is lacerated and looks exhausted from probably days of constant battle. Thanks for including this in the vid
It's certainly a very good piece of art, as done by Miguel Iglesias if you'd like to see some more of his work. But I agree, it's nice to see some representation of the more tragic/defeatist sides of 40k, particularly of the space marines. We always see them being written as the pinnacle of heroes, who could not possibly be brought low, but then in actuality, there are entire chapters which have been wiped out, so it's good that some artists are willing to show the darker side of conflict, as it relates to the "good guys" of this setting.
Love how pre imperial era of the dark age. A simple terminator suit was no more then a mining suit to humanity. Telling the sheer power of ancient human tech. They had ships that could shoot drones out and kill every ork, then use pesticide that would get rid of orks off their worlds. They were so powerful the eldar and orks openly traded and talked peace treaties with old humanity when they were enlightened and open to exploration and trade with alien species. Now, humanity is just dangerous
@@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat other then being limitely talked about in novels not about it there isnt much other then just the info of what it was in terms of Human Dark Age and earlier stuff like War in Heaven
@@gardenthefermentingsound6218I mean it's not. The imperium in 40k used a modified life eater virus. This version of the virus killed all ork fungus aside from the nobz themselves. Which could be taken care of by robots and drones. So it's safe to assume golden age humans had the tech to do this far more efficiently. Also it was a stupid bit of writing but yes dark age humans did manage to negotiate peace with orks. While also trading with and talking with Eldar. Though the Eldar still despised humanity. A dark age human ship was able to destroy an entire imperium fleet by itself. Then the same ship hacked the mechanicus and space marine power armor with ease. Proceeding to look down on "modern" humanity as nothing more than barbarians.
Had no idea the helmets were inspired from war dogs/mastiffs. I honestly don't see it, but nevertheless, a fun fact. The coolest looking terminator armor helmets I've ever seen are from Iron Within and the helmets having the tusks. Awesome job on this video!
Indomitus pattern helmets make me think more of bulls or bears with that wide, heavy snout. My favorite pattern. The big rebreather makes me think of a roided up Star Wars stormtrooper.
Some say that the AI voice whispers many secrets to me, and that my own consciousness has been slowly replaced by its own abominable knowledge on when to best upload videos for people to have a sound night of sleep!
Terminator armor is the coolest piece of wargear in all of 40K to me. The highest level of personal protection you could possibly get in the Imperium of Man. Highest quality sensors and targeting systems you can pack into a suit of power armor. One-hands weapon you’d usually find as cupola mounts or coaxial secondary weapons on an armored vehicle. Slower, but hits like a freight train in melee combat. Such advanced communications systems that it basically acts like its own C.I.C. Field tested and improved upon by my favorite legion, the Iron Hands, eventually resulting in the horrifying Gorgon Pattern, a hybridization of Cataphractii, and the earliest variants of Indomitus pattern. It’s always such a “OH SHIT, WE’RE COOKED,” moment whenever hostile terminators show up to fight the main character. Excels in boarding actions, void engagements, trench lines, urban warfare, shrugs off explosives and mines like they’re nothing. And there’s the intimidation factor as well. Even a veteran Astartes is given pause by the sight of a 8.5/9foot tall, lumbering, armored monster laying about itself with storm bolter and powerfist, shrugging off anything that can be thrown at it. Sensors so good you can’t hide from it. Targeting systems so precise you can’t dodge it. Motive systems so powerful you can’t overpower it. So heavy on the firepower you can’t outshoot it. So tough you’d be hard pressed to pierce it. In the words of Kyle Reese: “It cant be bargained with, it cant be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear, and it ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT STOP, until you are DEAD.”
You forgot to mention, it is possible to roll double ones, 1 for armour, 1 for invun, for 4 out of a five man squad of Terminators. Leaving a very happy 10 man Grot unit.
Grey Knights have the Aegis Pattern which is specialized for close combat, allowing for greater range of motion and flexibility. It’s tough as shit, make no mistake.
@@jeambeam3173 ive seen both videos now, and from what ive seen, terminator armor is more suited for genestealer hords, and grey knights are specialized against chaos
That was my first Warhammer video game. Then I found out about the Gorgon Pattern suits of the Iron Hands. Think Indomitus pattern, but it possesses a conversion field generator that transforms incoming fire, kinetic, directed energy or otherwise, into flashes of blinding light. Shooting at a Gorgon Terminator is basically the same as flashbanging yourself.
@venerablebrothergoriate5844 my first warhammer game, was an old world game called battlemarch, which may also have been known as Mark of chaos. I played as the greenskins, which made them my number one fan favorite in all the settings as well as the other factions I'm a fan of.
The specific breed apparently, but there are indeed still dogs present in 40k! One of the recent kill-team sets (I think the arbites? has a dog model included, so they're still kicking!
Then after the veterans you got the chapter master of the space sharks Tyberos who wields specially made terminator armour augmented with dreadnaught armour plating and his twin power fists with built in storm bolsters lightning claw chain fist combo slack and hunger
There was a story about an Astartes who solitary walked against an army to reclaim a planet. Anyone know the story? It mentions how the planet's army used artillery and all manner of weapons but the Astartes just kept walking forward.
i love u r vids well done! It would be cool if u ever made a lore video about the different markings that spacemarines wear ( like badges, chains different helmet colors for rank etc aka cosmetics (So essentially what they mean)) Thanks for the content!!
Another wonderful sermon on the most revered forces of our glorious imperium! And on their war gear no less! I'd love to see a video on the land raider or perhaps the companies of space marine chapters in the future.
I love the history and look of terminator armor. I'm new to 40K and since I've been playing, they have been very expensive in points for what they do unfortunately and very few people play them.
Whenever i hear about how awesome the technology of the imperium is supposed to be i think about the fact that they easily get killed by some bugs that were born yesterday. IMO warhammer has a flaw of making everything OP so in reality nothing is OP no matter how cool it may sound.
It's interesting how everything is designed, with one flaw of logistic, like storm boler with high rate of fire, with magazine sticking out showing merely few rounds, and no mention of how and from where the Tactical Terminator would do an tactical reload.
@@jeambeam3173 It was told in Auto cannon part but for storm boler too? And what if they are in a space hulk are those servitors there too, so how though they are that they survive there?
I heard / read somewhere that one of the (many) reasons Terminator armour didn't take over was that it wasn't actually that good against normal Space Marines. So when fighting the traitor legions they were better off not deploying Terminators. Is that correct or am I imagining it?
It is curious, and somewhat hilarious too, how the spectacular Terminator Armor (Indomitus Pattern) is one of the, shall we say, "weakest pattern"? Of the other main ones I should clarify, those being the Tartarus and the wearable Land Raider that is the Cataphractii. Yet, the power armor of the Space Marines, it is said to be the best possible design currently available, I do believe is the Mark X or Primaris Armor, if im not wrong that is. Fantastic video yet again, didn't notice the Terminator suits wasn't covered yet but it was a marvelous surprise nonetheless.
Dreadnought armor is an entirely different beast that needs its own video. Long story short, a marine on deaths door is permanently straped inside one. Basically, militarized life support.
Shout out to that ps1 blood angels game where you have to clear ships of genestealers, I think it’s called blood angels:spacehulk or something like that
