THIS NEEDS TO BE A MOVIE! ASTARTES Full Reaction (Part 1-5) 

"are they the good guys?" 40K fans: we don't do that here...

“Are they the good guys?” Warhammer: *Good is a subjective term that would take a long time to define. Time that would be better spent shooting heretics*

This was all literally done by ONE guy.

"This looks like it is a big ass Universe" You have no idea, you have no fucking idea... This Universe is 30 years old and is expanding...

Bro, I've seen so many reactions to this, and this is the ONLY one where they catch FIRST TIME that the two orbs are linked. These dudes are quick

The Astartes project is based off of the Warhammer: 40,000 (or 40k for short) universe. The Astartes (or Space Marines) are bio-engineered super warriors that serve and protect The Imperium of Man, a vast galaxy spanning human empire 40,000 years in the future. In this video, the astartes of this specific faction were hunting down the leaders of a rebellion against the Imperium. What they found was that the rebels were under the control of an unknown, psychic alien species (the spheres). The guy in the red coat was something called a psyker, a powerful psychic individual who was able to listen in on the telepathic conversations of the spheres. The red coat with the skull in the middle of the capitol "I" meant that he was also a member of the God-Emperor's Holy Inquisition, the most powerful organization within the Imperium. He became possessed when he lost focus to warn the Astartes about what he had heard. In case you're wondering what the spheres said to each other, here it is: Sphere 1: "Brother, I have failed." Sphere 2: "We have all failed." Sphere 1: "The Astartes deny our touch." Sphere 2: "You must return, break your seal" Sphere 1: "Impossible! We will never survive" Sphere 2: "You must. Take them!" The Warhammer 40k universe is VAST and deep with practically mountains of lore. It is arguably the greatest sci-fi universe ever created. You guys will not be disappointed in learning more about it. Welcome to the rabbit hole, brothers.

My dad, a non fan, watching them killing the inquisitor, “That was a little overkill.” Me: nah, totally appropriate, in fact they probably burned him afterward.

WH40K in a nutshell: "Violence isn't a choice, it's a question and the answer is always yes"

“Could turn into a big ass universe” 😂 Ah the innocence of the uninitiated 👌🏻

15:26 "this seems like it could turn into a big ass universe."

"They look like they got a spine coming outta their body." I'd like to introduce you to some brilliant surgeons in Commorragh.

I have become fan of just watching people shit their pants when they react to this. They have no idea how big a world they just stepped into.

"What is that - is that even blood?" Yeah, it's blood, but the reason it looks weird is because of one of the Astartes' genetic modifications - that their blood clots extremely fast. Good to stop blood loss and heal quickly, but it means when their blood spills or they cough it up, it looks weird because it's already starting to clot at that point. Also makes it crazy that the creator paid that much attention to detail, because it's a thing you wouldn't expect to see in an animation project like this, either because the creator didn't know or forgot or because it's that much more effort they have to put in compared to just a simple blood splatter.

The big spheres were basically giant malicious artificial intelligences. “Dreadlock dude” was an inquisitor who was listening in on the conversation between the chained up one and the one on the other ship. The spheres caught wind of his eavesdropping and essentially trapped him in demonic possession through the cables when his concentration was broken. The troopers blasting his brains out as soon as this became evident was not only a mercy, but a necessity because he could have done a LOT of damage.

"star wars for real" "destiny" "iron man suit" "there is LITTLE PEOPLE inside the suits" the inquisition would like to know your location........ heresy

The Astartes use rocket propelled bullets that explode on impact, are the size of soda bottles, and are each blessed by a holy priest before battle. And that’s just the standard, a lot of their enemies won’t even be phased by that.

They could do Bricky's "Every warhammer 40k faction explained". That would be fire.

“Imagine running with all that weight” finally someone mentioned it. Those Space Marines stand at roughly 7ft tall and with the armor they weight 2,000lbs. And despite that, their speed is insane. 35-45mph running at a full sprint. As quoted in the lore itself “Something that large shouldn’t move that fast.”

This is an example of how far access to these programs gotten where one guy can do all of this.

"Creators"? Nah fam, it was one dude. One dude made all of this. All he needed was the funding, kinda fucking amazing.

THEY ALSO DON'T KNOW ABOUT WARHAMMER??? OH MY GODS ARE YOU GUYS IN FOR ONE HELL OF A UNIVERSE. And it was ONE guy that made ALL of this!!

"looks like a .50cal" well, the astartes already use .75 cal... so that thing must me like .100cal?

"This could turn to a big-ass universe" Say hello to legions of Warhammer nerds introducing you to it all. Eight trillion cubic lightyears' and ten thousand years' worth.

Oh yeah, fun fact for these fella in case they see this: Those Astartes (the space marines in the big ass armor) are around 8 feet tall, just putting that out there- Edit: Also that "ship" the Astartes got into? Yeah that's not a "ship", it's a full on boarding missile. So instead of just pulling their ship right up next to the other guy's they just launch a missile right through the side of your ship. And the ammo they use for their guns isn't bullets, those are goddamn mini rockets that have the same power as an average RPG

them: 'its like a start to the astartes universe' 40k fans: "oh sweet summer child." :'D

I giggled a bit when they said "are they the good guys?"

Praise the Emperor that we have five new recruits for the Imperial Guard. Please watch Bricky's Explains every single warhammer faction next.

There's 500+ books, short stories, audioplays, etc. It's a BIG universe.

4:30 actually, considering the warhammer 40k universe has been around since, ahm, can’t quite remember, either the 70s or 80s, it would actually be better to say that the cabal look like space marines.

Imagine a full blown movie, no dialogue, but we'd have to observe just like this the whole time. From warhammer 40k, this would be sick!

Guys... that intro made me turn down my volume from 90% to 10% only to turn it back up to 50% once your started talking :P, might wanna fix the audio volume a bit.

Damn, Tony Montana really picked up the needles in the haystack in some of those perceptions. Warhammer is probably the one with the deepest universe filled with lore in every faction and every branch within them, the world, so forth. The universe is in a wartorn turmoil, nobody is the good, every faction fights for themselves, some even betray their own, there is no mercy. Most importantly, this video was made by one guy, it's wild talent.

"Are they the good guys" 40k: We dont do that here

Ok just an explanation is in order. So the main group of five we follow are called Astartes. They are like an order of Sci-fi knights. They are literal super soldiers that make Spartans look like a wet paper bag. They are trying to recover an Alien (or Xenos) artifact from a rebellion. As for what happened in the latter half. So the guys who had the weird masks where psykers. Think of them like planet destroying Sci-fi Wizards. Other important details, the guy in the cloak was apart of this universes secret service, those are called the inquisition. The Inquisition are the ones who gave the Astartes the mission.The reason he got his cranium splattered was because he got possessed by what ever was in that orb. It is really hard to kill them when it happens, so they get them early. Last bit the 5 Main Atartes aren't in the orb they where teleported through the warp (don't ask) to an unknown location. Oh yea and this all takes place in the grim dark future of Warhammer. The actual illustration of the "In Soviet Russia" meme

When they see the Vanguard Veterans. "YO THAT DRIP" I wheeled.

“They look like...” Gonna stop you right there, no, that thing you were gonna say, that thing looks like *them*. These guys are from an OLD series.

"This could turn into a big ass universe...." - Oh, my sweet summer child...

BIG NEWS!!! ASTARTES IS OFFICIAL!!! Games Workshop, the company that owns the Warhammer franchise has hired the creator of the Astartes Project and will be turning this into an actual series!!! It was just announced today. Praise The Emperor!!!

RT: Watches Astartes. Warhammer 40k fans emerge from the smoky darkness: Welcome to the wormhole. RT: this is an amazing universe he created. Warhammer 40k Fans: Universe has been around since 1983 Warhammer 40k Playlist Bricky’s All Warhammer 40k Factions explained.

Astartes explanation in simple terms: take captain America, put him in the Ironman suit, and give him an assault rifle that fires rocket propelled missiles the size of a 12 gauge shotgun. Space Marines as they are known are like master chief on steroids.

So this was made by one guy, on the later clips he did have some minor help from other 3D artists but it was almost entirely him. This video is set in the Warhammer 40k universe, massive massive fantasy with rich history and lore, a battle and war focused galaxy. The attacking group wearing armour in the video are called space marines (also known as Adeptus Astartes, hence the title), who are effectively superhuman soliders serving the imperium of man and the emperor of mankind, the ones wearing white helmets are the squad captains back on their main ship, the guy in robes kneeling with the wires is part of the inquisition and is a psyker, who are like wizards/jedi and have powers, he had the power of telepathy and was hooked up to comminicate with the orb in the room, and the attacking squad were send to connect the two orbs. We don't have any information on who was on the ship that got attacked, but we can assume they're either a servant of chaos or space pirates or traitors. The two big guys with spines coming out were robots who the orb on the ship was controlling (we think). And when they got sucked into the orb, they were sent into a space called "the warp", which is like another dimension and is inhabited by demons and we assume a demon was communicating through the orb (long story of why demons have to do that). The light that attacked the demon to save the astarties people assume was the the emperor (he's an immortal dying coprse on a golden throne, who guides humanity and keeps chaos at bay). So much more detail, but that is the short summary, and yes, that was the SHORT summary :)

"astartes universe" this is Warhammer 40k, and there is a TON of lore inside

I like how they knew very little, but still carried the spirit of creativity into their discussion. Fire video, wait until they see SODAZ

12:44 Eating someone’s organic tissues to gain their knowledge and memories is actually one of the abilities that these space marines have.

"you don't know who's the good side and who's the bad side" I will respond to this quote with two sentences. It's WH40K. Everyone is the bad side.

50 cal? Oh you innocent souls.

One of the first thing I learned when "discovering" Warhammer 40K was that what they did to the Inquisitor was mercy.

For some context: A Bolter shoots a round the size of half your fist, and it explodes upon contact with whatever it hits. That’s why it was doing that.

So I made this comment on InternetCity - InternetMikey & Aaron's channel and it seemed to help alot of people understand what is going on (for those who might be a bit lost). So hope it helps here (did change some things to update it) So the most basic description that I can give is this: The Space Marines have been tasked with retrieving an alien artifact on the enemy ship, so that they can study/deal with it, as the Space Marines basically hate anything Xeno related On their own ship, they already have one of these alien spheres locked up, under the watch of a religious "monk"(Inquisitor) who is monitoring it to make sure it doesn't cause any havoc and to hopefully realize its purpose. As the Marines eliminate the enemies and approach the orb, they add tech into it that is meant to limit its power, but in that moment it begins to communicate with the sphere on the Space Marines ship. The two entities conversation is heard by the Inquisitor, who realizes that the entity is going to flee, rather than be captured, and take the Space Marine squad with it. He then tells the Space Marine leader that the team needs to get out of there and be extracted NOW! But doing so causes his focus to waver and he is taken control of by the second entity and thus must be killed by the leader before he is turned or causes untold havoc on the ship. The team leader gets the message but it is too late and he and his team are taken by the entity to a separate dimension. However (there are a couple of things that might have happened) the Inquisitor was able to help with his dying breath and sent out a psychic wave that frees them from the creatures tendrils. Or a warp creature sees the entity and decided to attack it, inadvertently freeing the Space Marines. But even though they are free, they are all still teleported to an unknown world with giant skeleton statues/beings and now must figure out where they are at. All of this is an incredibly basic explanation, and I am sure I got some of this wrong, but there are more detailed videos on RU-vid of people going over what exactly transpired and give more in-depth description about the Space Marines and the enemies they fight. Just wanted to help give a basic rundown for yah. Also the question of "are they the good guys" is.........complicated. But it is worth getting into it is one of my all time favorite universes! Hope this helps!

Watch the animations done by SODAZ, he's an absolute legend with his animations and has some of the best interpretations of the universe. He just released a new 7-minute animation (but you should watch all of them), I guarantee you will enjoy them!

Holy SHIT you guys are smart af! Those 2 orbs were communicating and dude with the hoodie with listening but got possesed!!!!!!!!

Holy shit you guys figured out so much about the lore of the video so fast with no context, that’s pretty impressive.

Warhammer 40k. It’s a very tough series to get into, but if you’re willing to put in the effort, and respect the lore, the fandom is very welcoming.

non 40k fans will never understand this.

It was really cool to see how you guys interpreted the story pretty accurately, especially catching the psychic link between the orbs on the two ships and the Psyker. You really could not have a better introduction to the world of 40k!

"Are they the good guys?" *Laughs in "thirsting gods"*

11:05 "Are that the good guys?" ....Yeah...assuming there are 'good guys' is a bit of a mistake in this setting.

this is made in redshift i think, 3d modeling and animation software and its all made by 1!!! guy

40k is one of the most powerful and op scifi universes out there. only a tiny few that can surpass or compare to 40k

No matter how high or tired they were, that animation woke them up :D

WE NEED MORE 40K

please react to 🔰Death Of Hope Part 1: Anarchy Reigns

In warhammer 40k, possession by chaos or anything xenos is considered horrible. The moment it happens, the imperium executes the possessed person then burns the corpse

I watch yo guys every now and then, but this got me to subscribe.

"are they the good guys?".... well no

I'd absolutely love to sit down with you guys and explain so much of the lore of Warhammer, it's vast and epic and undeniably awesome in the truest sense of the word.

Fun fact: When the sphere starts pushing the Astartes back and their boots suddenly stop making sparks it's because they activated the maglock functionality built into their boots. All Astartes armor comes with built-in magnets within their boots strong enough to carry an individual Astartes' full weight.

the "Astartes" comes from the "Adeptus Astartes" wich is the name of the organisation, but they are more commonly called Space Marines. Space Marines are the elite Warriors of the Imperium of Man, a Galactic Empire (who's a Theocratic Totalitarian Feudal Confederacy of sorts) who spans the whole Milky Way galaxy (our galaxy) in the far future of the 41st Millenium. thats why its called Warhammer 40.000. SPace MArines are geneticaly modified Super Soldiers, we're talking 2 hearts, 3 lungs, can have half of their brain asleep and stay active up to 72 hours straigth, can even survive in the void of space and recover from the grieviest wounds or if needed have the missing parts replaced by new organs or bionics. Space marines has 19 different organs implanted in them throuhg their years of training from been aspirants to full fledged battle brothers. One of this implant called the Black carapce is set under their skin and has connection ports, that allow them to be neurally linked to their Power armors and thus move in it as if they where wearing nothing. Power armors like in most cases are powerfull tools of protection but also support and destruction. It can enhance the allready Super Human levels of physical strengths a Space MArines enjoys, its void sealed, can be breached only by the heaviest weaponry or anti tank weaponry, and even tho its weight over 150 kg, the immense strenght of the Space MArines with the servos of the armor and the neural link they have, makes it natural for them to wear it. The Space Marines favorite piece of weaponry is the Bolter. This weapon is the unholy marriage of an assault rifle and a rocket launcher. Bolts ( the ammo) are red bull cans sized ammunition, that are self proppeled like a rocket, penetrates the target AND THEN EXPLODES, once inside, transforming anything organkic in a thin red gooy mist... And thats their standard isse weaponry, like m4a1's are standar in the contemporary Marines... But all of this is not nearly as fucking insane as ALL the rest of the Setting... you guys should watch brecky's "40k factions explained" 2 parts vids, and also the Templin institute videos about the Imperium, the Astra Millitarium, Cadia, the Orks, the Tyranids, the Space Marines. And some fo Leutin 96 40k is one of the most insane setting, where everything is out to kill eat or rape you, and not in that particular order, where Technology is viewed as religion and magic, where you have Psychic Powers that would make Sith Lords jeally as fuck or piss their pants, and Daemons... Cause yeah in the far future of 40k there is LITTERAL HELL, Demon Gods and Daemons in the parralel dimension clalled the Warp... And the Warp is the 40k-verse mean of FTL travel..., just like in Event Horizon they have to punch a Hole in thge fabric of space and time, to go through LITTERAL HELL to cross the starts on vast distances... 40k is crazy and op dialed up to 11, then you bust the thing and turn it ONCE more to 11... 40k is the ONLY fictional universe, where the fans DO NOT want to life in, its just so insane and Grimdark... *HArry potter fans* i want to go to hogwarts! *Star Trek fans* "o wanna be in Starfleet" *Star Wars fans" i wanna be a Jedi/Sith" *40k fans* "...nah fam i'm good..."

I like how they go "wow maybe this will be the start of a whole universe" lol

Some background for anyone unfamiliar with Warhammer 40k: The series takes place in the 41st millennium, and humanity has changed. Everyone is ruled by the Imperium of Man, a massive empire across the galaxy. The Astartes (usually called Space Marines) are massive super soldiers that fight for the Imperium. The guy in the red hood was a psyker, someone born with psychic powers. He's working for the Inquisition, an organization in the Imperium that seeks out demonic influences and kills them. The psyker was monitoring the two spheres, but learned that the spheres were ordered to kill the Space Marines, and broke concentration to warn them. If you listen closely, you can hear him say "Recall them immediately!" Sadly, this led to him being possessed by one of the spheres, and the two white space marines killed him before he could do any damage. Hope that helps clear it up

My dude on the right was putting a lot together in a short amount of time! Well done!

First video of y’all’s channel. Great reactions. Funny as shit

the dude on the furthest left is STRUGGLING he's so high 😂😂😂

"It felt like a video game" Literally every 40k fan: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Im sure someone already said this but ima say it again As well 1 thing to keep in mind, space marines have coms in their helmets so we don't hear them talking but they are So the story is about 5 space marines sent to find this alien artifact and destroy it/ dampen its power The inquisitor or the man in red is accessing the void to try and tune in with the orb on the Space Marine ship As soon as the marines approach and start stabbing the alien orb the 2 orbs start talking The alien orb tells the space marine one that it has failed and will escape with the marines The inquisitor, hearing this looks up to tell the men in white to evacuate the marines on the ship or they die hence why they send the grey marine in the room to the command console to warn them However, now the inquisitor has broken his focus and his perfect connection with the orbs and the void meaning that he has now been corrupted Then we see the marines sucked away to a valley of skeletons carved in the hill and where they end p is left to our imagination for now Hope this helps someone understand what happens in this :)

My favorite was the guy all the way on the left who is so high out of his mind he's fading off and on throughout the vid - lol he doesn't even know where he is. Awesome.

YESSS! you guys finally watched it!

Love your vid!!

I love the little detail in the beginning where the space marines are sitting on their landing craft and one of them is blessing his weapon with consecrated beads. Really gives you a cool foreshadowing that they aren't just facing a normal mortal enemy on that ship.

So much lore needed to understand this fully

Quick explanation like super short. Big fuckers go to board ship to link one ball with the already captured ball. During board they fight and end up at the ball. Once they link, that priest looking dude was trying to I think understand it or control it. Once he heard it say that it was going to consume the people so they should return basically, he came out of the trance, told drippy cape dude “extract them immediately” it was muffled. This was happening at the same time they were with the orb. Before they get magnetized to the orb, he got the message to retreat but it was too late. They were saved because priest destroyed the link before they were consumed, hence the black could that ate the ball when they were tethered with those tentacles. But they were still teleported to another dimension. You can see his other comrades spawn in on the other pillars. That dimension is what the priest saw in his link before he got vibe Checked by drippy cape guy and his associate.

Points to note: 1) All of it was made by ONE GUY 2) It is based on WARHAMMER Tabletop Game (40, 000 UNIVERSE). This is a Fan FIlm 3) The soldiers are SPACE MARINES and ASTARTES is I believe the name of their regiment. Modified Humans who are trained to death (Literally, majority of trainees die because of weak will) 4) The priest guy (he's part of the Inquisition - he had 'I' on his back) was trying to connect with "THE CHAOS" and the monster you see for a second before they got sucked in was a "CHAOS GOD" 5) No one really knows where they got teleported to in the end I don't really play Warhammer tabletop, I am only familiar with bits of lore. So please correct me if I got something wrong.

Some breaking news regarding the creator. He has been hired by Games Workshop to create official animations. GW created Warhammer 40,000 and the Astartes.

The one guy that made this was hired by the company that owns warhammer 40k because Astartes was a thousand times better than what they were working on.

bro in the pink beanie is ZOOOOMING and saying random shiidd hahahaa

For reference on the size of the Warhammer 40,000 universe: It is based on a table top war game of the same name. The game contains multiple races (Astartes, Imperial Guard, Sisters of Battle, Aeldari, Tyrranid, and Chaos Demons to name a few). Each faction has their own heroes, backstories, and even culture. As of writing this, there are over 350 books set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Got a question? Feel free to ask though most of my knowledge sits with Craftworld Eldar, Dark Eldar, and Harlequin factions. I do know the "basics" of other others though.

The guy in pink hat is coming down from a high falling asleep an shit 😆

"Like, they are somebodys herald" *knock knock* "Got a minute to talk about our lord and saviour, The Emperor?"

Man yall just opened up the world's largest can of lore and morbid awesomeness

The Astartes project JUST got picked up officially by Games Workshop! 🍻🍻🍻

So the part where the dude in the cape (he’s a captain of the marines), punched the human in the face was necessary because if he didn’t end him, there would have been a daemonic threat loose and that humans soul consumed. You only have a fraction of a second to react because if not, you got a big problem. As for the bullets, they’re rocket propelled .75 caliber rounds with an armour penetrating tip that has a delayed explosion. To modern day standards: a shaken twisted tea can hitting you really really fast

the dude on the left was asleep lol. dude did not want to be there 🤣

I remember when I found out there were videos to the badass wallpapers I kept on seeing xD

I love the old videos because all of RTTV are absolutely BAKED in them

"They ain't said one word.." They probably have. You just can't hear it. They have comms devices in their armor. These are Adeptus Astartes. There are 1000 of them in a single chapter, and 1000 chapters of Astartes. What is in the fan film is just a small fraction of their power.

About the good/bad guys, the Astartes, or Space marines in the video work for the Inquisition. To give you an idea about the Inquisition, beyond the Exterminatus memes, I find this quote from DoW2 does a good job describing them. "It is human nature to seek culpability in a time of tragedy. It is a sign of strength, to cry out against fate, rather than bow one's head and succumb. Inevitably, many shall fault the hands upon the sword which felled Typhon (the planet that got Exterminatus'ed), the Ordo Malleus (branch of the Inquisition). But the Inquisition merely performs the duty of its office. To further fear them is redundant; to hate them, heretical. Those more sensible will place responsibility with those who forced the hands of the Inquisition. With some fortune, they will foster this hatred into purpose and further rule their own fate by coming to the Emperor's service." Essentially, they are the necessary evil that ensures the survival of humanity.

When they ask "are they the good guys" i was like, boi there ain't no good guys in 40k.

The best way to describe 40k is Epicly Dark, the Setting is insane in scale making stuff like Star Wars and Star Trek look small in comparison, the Galaxy is also dark like imagine the Crisis of the 3rd century (the Horus Herasy) , the Medieval age for the Byzantines (the Age of Imperium) and the Bronze age collapse (the Age of Strife) happened in the distant future and not the distant past.

12:30 Everyone's always shocked at Daemonic Possession Treatment Number One.

Them: “This man got beskar.” Everyone who knows the lore: *Laughs in space marine.*
