WHOOAAH this is a very special episode since Terminators, Aggressors, and Centurions are some of my favorite 40k units. I really like chunky marines with like a million guns. So I hope everyone enjoys this video as much as I enjoy these chunky marines.
Terminators: When normal Space Marine can't hit hard enough. Except of Tyberos, he is for Terminators this what Terminators are for other Space Marines.
Expect for Tyberos terminators are very compact! I remember talking with some guy at Ropecon and ended asking where his force is on the table.. Right in the middle - all terminators -- but they might as well been purple orks as I did not even see them before he pointed them out.
Watchers in the dark are the coolest guys in 40k. They scared a changeling. They smol. They protect. They equip. They have the power to put a primearch alseep and keep him alseep for thousands of years. They have an entire legion willing to protect their identity. They hate chaos.
Three space Marines, one in Gravis armor, one in Terminator armor, and one in Centurion come upon a door in the travels. They go through the door in order of smallest to biggest. The Gravis walks right through the door without any issue, waiting on the other side. The Terminator squeezes through the door with some issue, waiting on the other side. The Centurion looks the door way up and down before yelling, "FELL THE DOOR!!!", and pulverizing the entire wall.
@maltheri9833 Wowie, thanks for pointing this out. Imperium Secondus is one of my favorite HH story arcs behind only anything Sisypheum and of course my bird father Corax. These Ruskies put to cgi a lot of what my mind's eye imagined while reading/listening to books/audio.
I love that Ferrus Manus was like "Indomitus Patternis cool, But what if i made it better" Then made it so incredibly toxic that basically only Iron Hands could use it and that it turn enemy bullets into flashbangs. Gorgon pattern goes hard and should come back
@@ArcusArmis19 yeah didn’t Vulkan also create like a dozen souped up terminator suits too. One day I’ll probably do a video on chapter specific armor patterns/modifications. There’s some interesting stuff
For the terminators, there's one character i love most and its the salamander from killteam Cassius who uses not only a heavy flamer, but also has an underslung melta gun on his powerfist, and his helmet has a sick ass heavy rebreather instead if the usual bulldog face
Ya that’s dudes a baller, Vulkan would be proud. I wanted to pick up the box just because of all the cool sculpts, but I ended up only getting Setorax. Thanks for watching!
One cant forget the grey knights. They just look cool, that helmet, those blasters attached to the hands, and that gradient of blueish/silver color. (I just like painting grey knights i know very little on WH40K)
I like to think that terminator armour can survive both re-entry and its own terminal velocity relatively unharmed, so if teleportation isnt an option, terminators can always open a window and jump out of the battle barge to land on some heretical skulls.
Always, any time I hear anyone say anything about space hulks, or how tough Terminator armor is, my first thought is ALWAYS that pure strain genestealers can cut through terminator armor like warm butter
My favorite in lore moment about terminators is when Ciaphas Cain is on a space hulk with the Lamenters and he feels safe in the cramped halls since they’re in front of him. Then on the next page they get slapped around like kids and he panics 🤣
love your conent man, the tone is so much more chill than other warhammer lore content creators, not that its bad its just nice being laid back and the drawings are great
Thanks! That’s kinda what I was going for. Kinda just a silly casual explanations, I feel the serious deep dives are already covered well by other creators. Thanks for watching!
An interpretation of Centurion that I like is that it functions like a psudo vehicle. Charging fortified positions and, upon crushing, the marine exits and has fresh armor and ammo ready to go.
I can totally understand your position on invictus and dreadknights. One is just a babycarrier, the other a redemptor Dreadnought with commitment issues
If it wasn't for all of the baggage that cmae with them, Gravis Aggressors would be my favorite. I LOVE the combination of back mounted grenade launchers and power fist mounted heavy weaponry.
Here little thing from another vid I saw Terminators teleport directly into the fray chain cannons already spinning before they’ve even finished materializing preparing to rip the enemy to shreds
I love me the Gravis, chunky boys look wicked. I love how it lets me be lore friendly with my custom chapter not have access to terminator armour, as it is said that not every chapterndoes
I replaced the power pack on my Aggressor Sergeant and replaced it with the leftover missile launcher from the Impulsor tank gun. I call it “I Miss Blast Templates”.
The blood angels animated show was the first thing that came to my mind. You know when one of the captains terminators got shot in the powerpack and now is imprisoned in his plasteel unpowered coffin
@@Dontgetluck123 i actually haven’t seen the blood angels show, I might get warhammer+ soon tho I’ll have to check it out. That sounds pretty metal Thanks for watching!
@@KrakDuk the show was the second warhammer thing i showed my friends the first being pariah nexus because i thought it would work better to hook them. I was a bit on the edge if they would like it because of the coulour being black/white/Red but after watching it they completly fell in love with the franchise and keep asking me to summarize certain aspects of lore for them😂😂
What I liked more in first born heavy weapons marines is that their powerpacks also doubled as heavy bolter ammo pack linked to the bolter itself via ammo belt...instead of small box mag that looks it would carry like maybe 40 bolts max(is soo small)...and some cable conected to the grip(da faq) - mind-boggling for me
40k battlesector has the Aggressors you are so fond of in it, they also have Assault Terminators as a DLC unit that you can buy for like $2. They can deep strike teleport after round 2, but recieve a 35% damage penalty because they can get behind things and get a 40% damage and accuracy bonus and an increased crit chance that I don’t know off the top of my head.
Once of the first handful of units I painted was a box of Terminators. They're a Space Marine chapter's own personal sledgehammer and I just love everything about them.
The Scarab Occult Terminators from SM2 really knock home how tough and fast terminators are vs games like space hulk. The one with twin Kopesh swords RUNS FASTER THAN THE VANGUARD to beat your ass. Also 6-7 las cannon headshots and they still dont die
I already know a lot of stuff about terminators and gravis but the fact it's you making the video is great. You could make a video comprised only of things I know and I'd still enjoy watching it.
Tartaros is actually just as durable as indomitus. Indomitus is objectively the worst pattern, and only used because the Imperium got nuked in the heresy and is still recovering.
My favorite terminator armor suit has to be the one worn by the chapter master of the space sharks, tyberos. Dude used modified dreadnought plate to make it fit him and is equipped with his custom melee weapons. Hunger and slake which are the holy trinity combo weapon of lightning claws, power fists. And chain blades. Why choose between a power and a chain weapon when you can have both! 😂
I’m starting to buy my first Army (Space Wooves) literally because I love the idea of big heavy Space Wolves in aggressor armor just slow walking at you menacingly
I found your channel yesterday and have fallen in love! Right, onto the serious stuff, you drew a Night Lord in your salamanders video. Therefore I hereby require you to produce a video on the greatest legion, the humble and gentle, Night Lords. Pleaaaaase! Ave Dominus Nox
You get extra points for including Space Hulk 1st Edition Plastic Terminators. Those stupid antenna always broke, and they were tiny, but the clip on flamers?
Man, the terminators in 2nd edition 40k were ridiculous. They had a 3+ save that was rolled on 2d6 added together. Only a double 1 would fail without penetration. The assault cannon had 3 sustained fire dice and rerolled jams, so was averaging 5-6 shots per turn, in an edition where most things got 1, _maybe_ 2. These shots were at strength 8, with D10 damage (yes, D10. It was nuts.) It would melt any non-vehicle unit it shot at, to the point where a single assault cannon was one of the best dreadnought armaments available. I love 2e
Tactical Drednaught/Terminator Armour is just cool. I wish i could remember where i read it, but i have vague memories of it being mentioned that Terminator suits are durable enough to survive being stepped on by a Titan or even falling from orbit, so it always bugs me when it gets inexplicably shredded by some Tyranid.
My first 40k army was the Death Wing. An army of all terminators. I sucked at playing them because being an absolute noob meant I didn't know how to play them to their strengths. I simply just walked into everything, made the invulnerable saves and just kept blasting or thunder hammering. They looked cool and I thought the way I played was pretty lore accurate. Haha
Terminators are so cool! My top favorite are Deathwing knights, the 30k cataphractii, Scarab Occult, Death Guard (both variants) and vanilla assault terminators
Can't go wrong with the classic terminators. They've been the coolest dudes in power armour since the second edition and nothing can really dethrone them from their number one spot.
I LOVE MY GRAVIS BOYS. On the table top while having a worse save than my termies that t6 stat really makes enemy infantry wound rolls harder so I don’t have to make as many saves. Sure a 4+ invuln is nice but some days the luck of the dice just isn’t on my side.
Just wanting to say that the price you shown are way bigger that the one in my country because the centurion are worth 65 euros being the equivalent of 60 us dollars By the way great video
I am a huge fan of the charafractii terminator just from the fact that I feel that they have more of the look and vibe of the Imperium and the setting in general. I feel that the hippo ah looking terminators look more goofy to me
True, the cataphractii looks especially cool for ultra marines imo. Probably just because the indomitus was the first I saw, but I really love the design. The turtle back and huge pauldrons are such a vibe. And then when they’re ornamented heavily like the space hulk ones it’s just perfect to me. Thanks for watching!
@@KrakDuk it's amazing worldbuilding and good inspiration for one's own works, and frankly, I wouldn't understand 90% of it if it wasn't for guys like you, so I appreciate it greatly
Back when Raven Guard running Centurions was meta (along with smash captains aka the good days). When confronted with "That's not very sneaky" for basically teleporting Centurions next to enemy HQ I would simply point at my siege drills and state "The Freedom Fighters of Deliverance were miners before freedom fighters." And as cool and fluffy as it is to be scampering around in Phobos as per newness, I get ripped apart and basically do non competitive narrative games these days...
@@attemptedunkindness3632 only a true master stealth can sneak a centurion into enemy lines🤣 Reminds me of the meme of Creed sneaking baneblades anywhere he needs them
@@KrakDuk Creed is always the decisive portion of any strategic endeavor. You just got to stick around long enough to appreciate it. The Dark Age of Technology and the War against Abominable Intelligence? Ended when Creed charged his hidden tanks into X Æ A-12 Musk's AI Data servers on Mars. The Horus Heresy? The mortal that helped save the Emperor was no mere man, it was Castellan Creed, with a tank cleverly hidden on the main deck of The Vengeful Spirit. The Emperor may have to do dark dealings with the Chaos Gods to make His Primarchs, but Creed need only bang a random civilian and she will spawn Sly Marbo, or at _the very worst_ an Ursula Creed. Legend says Trazyn keeps Creed in suspension not only to be used against future foes of the Galaxy, but to frequently be sent back in time to The War in Heaven by Orikan to right unfixable wrongs in the past with undetectable tanks.
