TERMINATORS OF THE IMPERIUM - Tactical Dreadnought Armour | WARHAMMER 40,000 [LoreGear] 

Something people often seem to not realise when it comes to Space Marine armour in general is that the only thing stopping regular humans using it is the neurological interface the black carapace used by Space Marines, if ordinary humans were able to have this implanted any could use both Power and Terminator Armour. This also lends in my mind evidence toward the Stone Men of the DAOT being something akin to cybernetically inhanced humanoids, maybe cyborg-like who interfaced with early proto versions of heavy armour for dangerous industrial work.

Tech Priest: Now, the helmet of the Terminator .... Wolf Guard: I dont need no stinking helmet. Tech Priest: but....but... Wolf Guard: NO. HELMET!! Tech Priest: (prays to helmet)

Does anyone else wonder what actual dedicated combat suits were like in the dark age of tech considering that Terminator armor were meant for non combat support and repair? Must have been absolutely insane.

MY OILED ABS ARE QUIVERING WITH EXCITEMENT!!

"there wasn't enough of the Emperor's armor to distribute it enough" re: crux terminatus electroplating exists. You can deposit a layer couple molecules thick onto a substrate, and use a kilogram to plate a million suits.

if the emperor comes back and ask for his suit, some heads will roll

Terminator armor: because sometimes you need to kill a fly with a sledgehammer

Gotta love how the teleportation tech doesn’t prevent teleporting into walls, it just prevents it from being fatal.

Something has to be said about the way Luetin' delivers his content. This very quickly, became my favorrite channel soon as I tuned in. When Luetin executes his points and begins to educate, he does it with the utmost attention to detail. Speaking clearly on a topic that is absolutely well rehearsed and polished. Cheers to Luetin for getting it right and delivering fantastic content on a regular basis. I speak for us all Luetin, when I Express how grateful we are for the work put into creating this epic channel.

"Terminator armor has incredible power and defense" *laughs in Spacehulk genestealer*

something you shouldn't be able to do backflips in

"What is terminator armor" Engineering suit for maintaining works in working plasma thrusters.

With terminator armour you can now jump around and do backflips. Just like Gabriel Angelos.

0:58 POV: you’re going to the fridge at three AM and encounter an intruder.

You know the game where you can play as a space marine in third-person view (Warhammer 40k: Space Marine). Its a wasted opportunity for relic to not continue the series, they could have make a scenario where Captain Titus have to wear a terminator armor in order to fight in said level/mission, it could have been a glorious carnage and destruction.

Perhaps the only Crux terminatus with actual pieces of the Emperors Armour belong to Grey knight terminators, this would make sense given the daemonic forces they have to purge.

Hey Luetin, awesome video (as usual). Can we expect a video about Guilliman's return and the consequences? You mentioned his return often enough, but we never had a dedicated video with your opinion about his return and your thoughts about that (especially about WHAT and HOW he is doing).

Tactical Dreadnought Armour: Because while nails need hammers, _screws need sledgehammers._

God-Emperor : ok whew, that was a long rest. Now where is my armor? Emperium : ummm

Terminator armor is easily one of my favorite wargear available to the astartes in all of 40k, its just so menacing looking and the lore that its usually veterans who wear them just make it that much more interesting.

You should do videos narrating the biggest battles in 40k.

Nigh invulnerable...except against Genestealer claws, which go through them like lightsabers through paper maché :P.

I just wanted to add some info on the newest of those armour's, the Allarus Pattern used by the Adeptus Custodes. As if they weren't sexy enough just judging by looks, the fluff says that it's a *NEW* version of Tactical Dreadnaught Armor, as opposed to all other versions which range from old to ancient, the product of 10.000 years of research and development! So, it's new and improved... how improved, you ask? Well, according to the lore it offers greater protection than the typical Indomitus pattern, but not as much as the Cataphractii, Gorgon or Aquilon patterns. No, the improved protection isn't the selling point here... it's that the Allarus pattern has *NONE* of the downsides of all other Terminator armour, *offering FULL freedom of movement* just like a regular Power Armor/Black Carapace combo! And of course with the full range of all kinds of WTFBOOM armaments that *Big E's* Golden Boys have access to. *GULP* Now let that sink in for a minute and, regardless of what you are, be it Heretic, Mutant, Xeno or Daemon... pray to the Emperor that you *never* have to face Golden Banana Allarus Terminators in combat, because those guys will teach anything that's smaller than a Baneblade the meaning of "expanded anal circumference"...

12:55 "Mum said it's my turn on the xbox"

Wasn't the old lore state that terminator armour's original purpose was to refuel the space vessels but was repurposed for war as human life is cheap while the terminator armour is invaluable.

Scrub scrub scrub very important person lol, I love how you put such pictures between serious one without any comment or note

Termies, favorite armor platform/system/type in 40k.

I love how the deep strike decapitation strategy comes from Horus himself.

I hate you because your lore videos are so good not only did they get me hooked into the hobby a few years ago but now I have no money because I’m a sorry Blood Angels player wishing for my dad to return even tho he ain’t ever coming back. Rip my golden feathered boi

The ‘Emperor’s shard myth’ has always sounded reasonable to me. While you couldn’t produce an entire “shard” per armor, you could easily do millions of little metal flakes from what was likely half a ton of armor. There has not been millions of suits of terminator armor, I don’t believe there’s even a hundred thousand of them left. The word ‘shard’ is likely just a poor word choice. On the point of ‘scaled’ power armor, it is far more likely that variants have existed and only been used for VIP’s (due to the rarity and responsibility required for wielding such relics). The reason is that you can’t scale technology up or down easily is that weight/tolerances of the material (density/mass) and user strength (human/astartes) vary wildly. The servo sizes in themselves would also be a likely unresolvable issue and while 40k doesn’t always have to be perfectly logical, this is a bit of an absurd assumption. This also explains why Astra Militarum officers don’t use power armor, for if you could just scale it down and craft copies, you could bet your butt that more generals would be wearing it.

Well performed as always Luetin09! This channel raises the bar for 40k channels everywhere, excellent writing, artwork and deliverance. Keep up the great work!

Coffee and Luetin... The Emperor provides!

"Makes the wearer practically invulnerable" Local genestealer brood would like to have a word with you. Also, the idea of inquisitors in tactical dreadnought armor must really strike fear in the hearts of the enemies of the empire! Ooooooh, something new learned, I wasn't aware that the teleportarium uses the immaterium, I assumed it's just a kind of standard transmat effect.

Me: being 6'5" LT: ur too small

LoreGear? I'm not fooled by your heretical trickery, Lorgar.

Cawl was one of the people designing the original black carapace? OH COME ON!!!! TRY EVEN GW!!!

You are the best at this man, you deserve all the success that comes your way!

Space Marine Terminator... imagine a 500 pound silverback gorilla suddenly smashing through a wall in front of/behind you wielding two automatic shotguns. Running would be your first thought, if you even have time for that. What the game "Space Hulk Deathwing" did really well was showing how vulnerable even Terminators are if caught off guard by an enemy coming from every direction with superior numbers. Terminators are not invincible and have very exploitable weaknesses. Either you ambush them in close quarters, overpower them with superior firepower or swarm them with numbers. In a straight fight they're nearly unkillable.

Dude have been sub'd for going on a year now i think, and your 40K Lore series of videos are just second.to.none. Not taking anything away from the other people who put huge amounts of time and effort into making theirs, but in my humble opinion yours are the best.

You left out there part where they were developed from reactor suits meant to service active plasma fusion reactors on starships.

Hey Luetin, I'm a long time Battlefield viewer of yours but I love this content you're making on Warhammer. I've never played any of the games, but they have so much interesting lore in them that I want to get into them. I've always enjoyed how engaging you've made your videos. From the beautiful art and gameplay, to your top-notch commentary; I always look forward to seeing one of your new videos.

Me: An Avid heretic and Xenophile, paints Tyranids, Thousand Sons and Raptors. *Sees this* Buys Terminators to paint to display on my desk out of fear of heresy.

Terminator armor, when you just have to laugh in the face of the enemies puny popguns.

My favorite lore person covering my favorite thing about Space Marines? YES.

I know all this information already from being a 40k wiki nerd but i still watched and listened and enjoyed your video immensely, thank you for what you do, I love how you present the information and how you narrate the content. Keep being awesome af.

Remember when the squad of Terminators was the greatest force on the table in sub 1250pts formats? Powercreep has gone so far since then.

Wearing a thicc black allarus pattern terminator armor is as erogenous as wearing nothing at all.

Hearing all this about the technological regression of the imperium and then seeing Cawl completely ignoring such a pillar of the setting is crushing.

I dont know anything about any of this shit but I can't stop

Thank you, you address the I have with crawl and the gene seed issue, why haven't GW never said this would make the primaries. Once again you have done the emperor work once again

I’m new to the lore of war hammer 40k. And I am amazed by the creativity. I love it

Cattaphractii is the single best looking space marine armor hands down. Look at those pouldrons! You can build a damn hive city on those puppies.

I love all of your lore videos lutein. That being said, your 20ish minute videos about equipment and technology are my shit. Please make more of these, theyre so good for filling the gaps between your long form videos and i cant get enough.

Great video. The idea that Terminator Armour is rooted in DAOT industrial and astro-industrial mechanisms designed to withstand the punishing forces of nature in the interests of collecting resources is interesting (re: your pinned comment). So would I be right in thinking that the Imperium is actually built upon the scraps of a long lost age and is protected by what are essentially techno-knights wearing re-designed ultra deep pressure wet suits or are the Astartes clad in STC designed armour built from the ground up?

Painting some minis right now. Never cklicked on a video this fast. Just finished listening to another video of yours a few minutes back. Perfect background entertainment.

Really enjoyed this video as well as the rest of your 40k Lore vids. It's nice to be able to hear Lore from a different source that has a different perspective on the universe.

Honestly, this is why I didn't like the turn based Space Hulk. These things are supposed to be walking weapons platforms, damn near impenetrable and carrying around weapons that have stood the test of time but they got shredded quickly and their guns jammed constantly.

RU-vid started recommending your older videos recently and finding about these old gems is amazing, love them!

He protecc He attacc But most importantly. Luetins voice no cracc!

3:25 I'm listening to some serious heresy here

Oh man, Luentin, you have become my most favourite youtuber EVER! Your voice, your passion, you give me inspiration! For me, there is no higher quality then Luentin! Keep it up dude! YOU ARE AWESOME HOLY SHISHKEBAB!

1:10 pov you're a goblin about to get blasted by a 50 cal cannon because the terminator was feeling a little bored

You'd think a normal person wearing power armor, especially since it might slow them down but give a power boost, they'd wear a helmet.

Just a bit of a nitpick to an extremely enjoyable video- in addition to the Custodes using Allarus Terminator Armour, they also used Aquilon Terminator Armour. I’m unsure if that was strictly during the Horus Heresy, but if regular Astartes chapters still make use of relic armours, the Custodes may, as well. Anyway- fantastic video, as per usual. Thank you so much for all the hard work and time that you put into your videos. I was going to introduce a few relatives to Warhammer, and always planned on having them watch your Emperor videos, but didn’t know where to go from there- but as you’ve added more and more excellent and in-depth (not to mention very well-written) videos, I have a definite “watch this one next!” playlist as a pretty definitive introduction to the world of 40K. So also, thanks for making my job so much easier, and for making them some of my favorite 40K vids to watch, too.

ahh, great way to wake up feed the chickens make coffee and Luetin dropping a video ... SWEET!!!

Love how the flimsy priests at 4:24 are easily lifting up what would be a hundred kg piece of metal

“Commissar, the heretic is over here”

I don't play 40k, however I love watching/listening to these lore videos and such, they're awesome!

Hey brother I love your videos. I feel like you would do a really good on on the history of warhammer 40k as a game. talking about the rules and gameplay aspects and how they evolved. Cheers

When you were talking about termies deep striking behind the enemies i nostalgiad like crazy. That was my entire strat when i was in high school, use ultramarines with allied grey knights, deep strike gk termies in. Game over.

"The emperors finest, reporting."

Im not a die hard 40K fan, I did play Dawn of war I and II but I love this channel lore expert, you get deep into the lore with a great voice and connoisseurship for the 40K so even a noob understand the lore thanks for your videos =)

3:30 when it's been 3 hours but the pastor keeps talking.

The thing about Terminator armor is that as heavy and awkward as it looks, it's synthetic muscles are designed to easily handle the weight. As a matter of fact one of the biggest reasons only the best warriors wear it is because it weighs several tons but is so light and nimble to use most marines cant keep up with it, it is according to some lore more agile than than the standard powered armor.so you end up with a guy trying to charge an enemy and without thinking he ends up sprinting close to a 100 MPH with no way to stop himself, or trying to jump away from an enemy and suddenly he's doing a backflip 50 feet in the air and with no idea where he's landing. It really doesn't help when you consider how they're controlled, it's called Tactical Dreadnought Armour for a reason its to bridge the gap between normal MKVII armor and Dreadnought armor and get the best of both worlds, so it has the same Mind-Impulse-Unit that real Dreadnoughts have.

When you see Inquisitor Sabbathiel putting on Terminator armor, you can look closely to see the internals for the arms are scaled down to fit her arms.

Just wanted to say i enjoy your videos a lot. I've never even played warhammer and knew literally nothing about it except it had space marines, yet i find myself continuing to watch these videos wantjng to learn more. I'm not sure i'd ever play still, but i definitely enjoy the lore and universe that's been created.

LOVE YOUR CONTENT! plz do more about Astra Militarum!!

Now this is the Luetin I like!~ a faithful servant to the Imperium and its lore chronicler :)

at 5:55 it makes me wonder who taught the artist human anatomy. xD

I think power armour is not as cumbersome for normal humans as you make it sound like. I remember a scene in one of the Ciaphas Cain novels where a sister of battle casually jumps over the heads of some guys standing in her way just to show off basically. Also Lucien Garrit in the Rogue Trader Omnibus uses his power armour in battle and has no trouble keeping up, running and jumping etc along guardsmen scouts. So I think the black carapace is not needed to properly move in power armour, it probably just gives you an edge in reaction time and body control - maybe it wouldn't even make a big difference for a normal human and is just needed to make the armour keep up with the space marines superhuman reflexes and speed.

The gravis armour worn by aggressors look cool but it just doesn’t compare to the old school terminator armour. Nothing really does in the world of 40k. There’s just something about the way it looks.

11:57 "i don't understand.. is he questioning the divine power of the Emperor??"

I followed you for Battlefield content back when BF4 came out....I stay for the 40k content :D

This is the only Warhammer themed RU-vid page whose narrator doesn’t have an annoying voice.

On Vracks a very old Inquisitor Rex dueled a greater Daemon of Khorne in his suit of Terminator Armor wrecking it in the process. I believe in this case however that the heavy lifting was done by his blessed sword but none the less minimal combat proficiency was demonstrated by a non augmented human in Tactical Dreadnought Armor.

Luetin09 I just wanted to say thank you for all that you do. Have found your lore videos exceptional. Keep it up!

I can still remember the space hulk pack when they were introduced. Genestealers vs terminators

1:36 remembering Space Hulk Deathwing where certain Tyranid attacks one hit kills. Yeah DEFINITELY invulnerable

"Curious. Imperial guardsmen that can fight." - Sergeant Avitus, Blood Ravens Chapter

Very nice. Very detailed overview of my favorite armour! Great job. Thanks

Something to consider, FFG lists Mind Interface Units as a cybernetic addon for regular humans. Think of it as a scaled down black carapace to allow links to various armors etc. Which is how humans would be able to use powered armor more effectively while not having the say, bandwidth, to allow for full on sensory interface etc.

An eloquent overview. Thank you for the time you put into this.

The picture of the woman wearing power terminator armor was the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen from GW, and this is from a company that gave us Age of sigmar.

14:18 "The armor itself has any number of sensory systems that feed back to their helmets" *Space Marines not wearing the helmet because they think it looks cool*

Did somebody say.... *FOR THE EMPEROR!!*

The intro of space hulk vengeance of the blood angels is very good to introduce new people to warhammer.

*HUMONGOUS* *TERMINATOR* *DADDIES*

"virtually invulnerable" "Very, very virtually" said the tyranid.

They'll be back

Man. Primaris made me miss terminators, but you, Luetin, you just almost made me cry. Well done. I love terminators.
