@@widdershins5383 I think it is becoming more mainstream. I've been playing the tabletop since 3rd edition and I've seen a significant increase but since Cavill's on board with 40k live action there are more and more fast fans
"Previously, they were usually Male because.." Lemme stop you right there for a second, brother. Space Marines are ALWAYS Male. The Imperial Guard has both Male and Female Troops, the Inquisition has both Male and Female Inquisitors, with the majority of Combat and Non-Combat based orders/branches of The Imperium utilizing both Men and Women there are only a few Orders that do not. For example, The Sisters Of Battle(Nuns With Guns)are one of a number of Holy Orders that only accept Women into their ranks, it is the same with the psycher disabling Blanks who make up the Sisters Of Silence. Every faction has their reasons for how they run things and conduct themselves, with some having 5k-10k years worth of experience doing things a certain way.
Overall there but missing a few details and including some inaccuracies. Mostly from trying to condense a very lore-dense topic. But no worries! You'll get it next time.
Start with the general military units and use space marines as special occasion troops. Then slowly introduce all the different factions season by season so people aren’t overwhelmed.
The fact that blood angels weren't on the list but the furries were is just not right. And the battle of baal cmon. That's when primaris and robute came back
They ARE ONLY MALE. Sister's of Battle are something different. And the Female nSpace Marine mini from WAY BACK was mad emore as a "What if" product to sell more minis.
they get made into a Dreadnought. Encased inside every Dreadnought, lies a mighty Space Marine hero, who has suffered grievous wounds in battle, saved only by his interment.
Space Marine age very, very slowly, and may even be functionally immortal unless slain by in injury, since they don't seem to grow enfeebled even in very old age. As an example, Chapter Master Dante is still actively leading the Blood Angels despite being over 1000 years old. Space Marines never retire in the sense we might understand the term. Most fight until killed in battle, but some may eventually move into a support, training, or strategic level role when they have a great deal fo combat experience or massively debilitating injuries, though even then they can and will fight if the need is great enough Should a Space Marine be very severely injured but not killed outright in battle, they will be interred into the sarcophagus of a Dreadnought, a large, heavily armed and armoured combat walker that doubles as a walking life support system. So entombed, a Marine can pass through many millennia, spending the time not actively fighting in stasis sleep. Bjorn the Fell Handed is believed to be the oldest dreadnought still in existence in the current 40K timeline, and he is over 10000 years old and remembers the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. If a Space Marine is slain outright or so badly injured that he cannot be interred in a Dreadnought and so must be given what is known as 'The Emperor's Peace' (a euphemism for battlefield euthanasia to end unbearable pain) by a Chapter Apothecary, that Apothecary will harvest the two Progenoid Glands from the Marine, one in the neck and one in the chest, from which new Geneseed can be cultured which is used to bring forth a new generation of Astartes.
The worst part is….for a galactic empire it’s not even an exaggeration lmao banning space magic, it would actually be pretty accurate on multiple fronts. Destructive capabilities, general size and composition of armies, genetic enhancements and such. Oddly accurate despite seemingly overly and cartoonishly exaggerated.
Yeah he gets a few things wrong but he comes across as someone who's new to 40K it feels like someone explaining the lore second-hand after it was just explain to him
@@anthonyjordanmoviesandmore2470 I think the thing is most never even played table top and with the rise of Major Kill and Leutian and Weshammer we're going to see more of these videos.
You can work in the fuzzier parts of the lore too. There are two Primarchs we know almost nothing about, and the Primaris Marines as created by Belisarius Cawl have changed a lot of the old certainties about what can be done with Space Marine geneseed. At the end of the day, TheMonkeyFist is right - it is your army, do what you want. If you want female Space Marines, go for it and may your hobby bring you much enjoyment.
