Well I think this Marine was becoming a full fledged battle brother which is why the ceremony you can see the black carapace being installed which I don't think can be removed after.
It may not be 2 hours long, but check out Astartes. Some people have the whole thing uploaded as a single video. The creator was a single person doing everything by themself. Blew anything GW could ever hope to produce clear into the warp.
@@Captain_Razor_88 I'm actually wondering if he had anything to do with this video, because it features many of the hallmarks from Astartes; the shot framing, the attention to atmosphere, the choice and focus of the sounds...it's very Astartes.
Walk into the club like "Loquámur verbum suum, dum ipse accéndit Ignem Devotiónis. Pugnémus eius prœliis, dum ipse pugnat prœlium in Fine Tempórum. Et uniamus nobiscum illic, nam Officium in Morte non finitur. In Vindicta esto Fidelis, in Virtúte esto Fortis."
They likely don't remove theirs often, and some may have put theirs on while they were still loyalist. But for new recruits, I imagine it looks similar but with a lot more spikes, pain and demons.
The imperium post Emps is basically just peanut brain. But this is still epic as fuck. 100% certain that in rapid response scenarios this would be mostly skipped though. You think the Scythes of the Emperor had time to deal with this dogshit while on their thousand year retreat from the 'nids? Fuck no.
@@predatorancient in the description it mentions that this is what happens for when a marine puts his armor on for the ‘first time’ so assumedly this is a fresh marine taking an oath of sorts as his first battle ritual
For those who want to swear the oath for their own initiations: “I accept these burdens as the Imperium bleeds.” “I accept these burdens knowing no fear.” “I accept these burdens as an angel of the Emperor.” “I sheathe my form in a second skin, this veil of machine-muscle and false nerves.” “I stand firm against the alien, the mutant, the heretic.” “I grant no mercy, I give no ground.” “With humility I bear the Imperialis, the symbol of loyalty unbroken.” “With reverence I receive actuation, awakening the armor’s spirit.” “With pride I wear the symbol of my chapter, and join my brothers in war.” “I am iron, I am wrath, I am doom.”
The whole cinematic is full of those little touches, shows that people who made this are genuine warhammer enthusiasts and not just some random animators, which often is the case with other trailers.
They have hastier armoring rituals when neccesary, though, the Mechanicus dislikes speedy armoring of an Astartes since they feel the armor's spirit can or will be offended. This most likely is right before arriving at major offensive, so ritual and supplication can be performed at the leisure of the Mechanicus. In a warzone or on a defensive, then they armor as quickly as possible.
Plus, the description specifies that this is what it looks like the first time a space marine gets armored up. I imagine the first time they put on their armor is a bit heavier on ritual than say the thousandth time they put it on.
@@HulaLuau This "advanced armor suit up scene" was basically invented by Marvel for Iron Man in 2008 and has been copied by both Blizzard for the Starcraft 2 teaser trailer with Tychus and now for this Space Marine cinematic. (Of Course Games Workshop more or less defined the modern idea of "futuristic power armor") Why can't we enjoy all of them instead of complaining who is ripping of whom? Also I disagree: I think the Tychus Findlay scene is a lot better than this one, both technically and artistic.
For everyone mentioning how long the whole ritual takes, something to keep in mind is that it is not uncommon for astartes on campaign to spend a long time in their armor. Like weeks or months. They may take of parts of it, but it is designed to truly be a "second skin." Outside of their fortress-monetary and on their vessels there are probably only rare instances when an astartes is NOT armored. So they may don their armor days or weeks before actually seeing combat.
Not only that, but the importance of the ritual is something to remember, too. It's not the real world, these guys are fighting evil aliens and literal demons. The Machine Spirit exists. To risk angering it by not appeasing it through ceremonies like this could be disastrous, for all we know. With this in mind, the time spent performing the ritual does not matter, as the outcome for not performing the ritual could be a death sentence.
For those who may not know, this Space Marine has 2 silver service stubs on his forehead so he has been an Astartes for over 100 years. 1 silver stub is 50 years and 1 gold stub is 100 years. Not only has he been fighting for a century, if this video takes place by the current point of the Indomitus Crusade which has only lasted for 10 years (GW retconned the original 100 years to 10), then this guy was a Firstborn Astartes (the originals) before the Indomitus Crusade, so he crossed the Rubicorn to become a Primaris which is a harrowing process even for Space Marines. This guy's a badass and he hasn't even become a Seagent yet since he has no red helmet.
I love how these give a sense of scale. This is a single ultramarine. Just one. And you can see how amazingly huge he is, and what sort of mechanical monster he becomes to cleanse the heretic, the mutant and the alien.
@@jupiterrising887 The aftermath of a great battle, or should I say a mile or 2 away from where the Tau sniped their target, after expending most of their ammo. "Sir, we're sure we just killed their God Emperor, right?" "Yes, why?" "Because I'm seeing about 999 more God Emperors rushing towards our position."
Look up the Damocles Crusade. Just as hilarious is how a Tau commander saw moving mountains in the distance and was completely baffled by them. Then the Titan's energy beam powered up and he never thought again.
This really helps you feel how sacred and important Space Marines are to the citizens of the Imperium. To the Marines, it's just tools, but to regular people, every Astartes is a demigod, every piece of armor is a sacred relic, every weapon is Excalibur, every act is a legend.
This animation reminds me of Raptor and I can see both being legit armoring proseces as raptor it was far more automated (maybe some one acsually knew how to keep the blasted thing working) making it far more clean too as in here it was all more hole religious seremony whit all the bells and wisles of one.
I like how it took them this many years to produce something of vaguely similar quality to the FANMADE armoring scene in the Grey Knights Teaser trailer for the Lord Inquisitor.
@@the_infinexos well duh! Only the peoples with the biggest smartest and mostest Awesomest brains who are all very Awesome, Handsome, And Good at the Sex can Understand 40k. Don’t even get me started on what you have to be to be able to Play the Game.
It’s kind of twisted and ironic that 40K of all things is one of the only semi-mainstream franchises that showcases the kind of piety those of deep faith feel. It was created with the over the top satirization of the Crusades era Church yet I feel oddly represented within it.
@@ThePa1riot Everything else in modern media is drenched in a hundred layers of post-modern irony. 40K is the only franchise to step outside that liberal framework. Even if it was originally meant to be satirical, the authors who've built up the lore over decades took it in a different direction, drawing inspiration from chivalric chansons de geste and older epic poetry.
So between this trailer and The Raptor. I like them both for different reasons. I guess you can say different chapters have different rituals for donning their armour. The Raptor is very straight forward his donning is attended by a single techpriest with as little ceremony as possible. Whilst the Ultramarine is attended to by a Techpriest, servitors and chapter serfs with all the grimdark pomp and ceremony befitting a First Founding Chapter.
I dont really like the raptor cause its a literal copy of the SC2 scene with Tychus, just with a marine instead. Like, the animation is ok but he could have at least done more than straight up imitate it. This scene, though, has all the grim darkness of 40k
@@Minecrack1942 He's Right Raptors are a very straightforward chapter this takes too long and when deployment is a factor Pomp must make way for practicality and the Raptors are practicality incarnate amongst their founding. These guys still use appropriate camouflage.
The Raptor is are good trailer one artist have workt on this pure 40k short vid. Respect for his finish pieces and are complet space marine with belt and amored hips plates.
Honestly don't like either. It's well animated and all, but it's overly complicated just to be overly complicated. Like there is 0 reason to make the helmet like that.

One thing that always strikes me about 40K cinematics, particularly ones about the Imperium, is that they are always so dripping with atmosphere and distinctive visuals. You look at one frame of this video out of context and you know where you are. It’s odd how one of THE, indeed the namer of, GRIMDARK settings can feel cozy and familiar.
any great story told in a visual medium always has amazing atmosphere, and 40K cinematics have, for the most part, always captured that amazingly well. the setting of seeing a gigantic, gothic style hallway with skulls embedded everywhere in a decorative manner and you know exactly what universe it belongs to, is proof 40K carved its own path.
@@Turagrong with the amount of deaths throughout the imperium, no, and on the account of keeping the majority of the imperiums population ignorant, also no. this might be hard to fathom, but a large majority of the imperium planets are simply not aware that there are xeno's in existence.
@@dragjamon i've started delving deeper into the 40K-verse only a while back, but it's very clear from the get go, that the imperium intentionally keeps its citizens and armies as dumb and ignorant as possible, so throwing xeno skulls everywhere would be a no-go
@@GRAFFDEMON that's what I was thinking. No way those are skulls of heretics or criminals, but most likely those of martyrs or fallen soldiers, or likely former admech. In any normal franchise, you'd wonder what horrible things a guy did to have his skull used like that, but here I wonder what great things they did to not be ground into nutrient powder upon death.
Why waste other of the Emperor's resources on making bowls when they grow all by themselves? Human blood and human flesh, the stuff that the Imperium is made of.
I kind of hope Cavill wont be a space marine for the show, but rather a rogue trader or inquisitor. Space marines dont really fit the role of a protagonist in media because the only thing they can do is war. And war is entertaining in small, short doses but unfitting for an entire show. Also: Everyone would get pissed off because Space Marine cavill wouldnt be part of their favorite chapter.
Halo: “we have the most badass armoring up cutscene!” StarCraft 2: “no we do!” “Heretics” Halo and StarCraft: “what?” Warhammer, out of the blue: “H E R E T I C S”
I feel like the people complaining about how long this is taking dont seem to understand that Astartes armor is complex to install and it does require techpriests or techmarines to do it properly to appease the machine spirit. Keep in mind that the description says "gets armored up for the first time ". So its possible that this is also a type of ceremony for an initiate becoming a full-fledged battle brother.
Except the marine has TWO long service studs in his forehead. And since a stud generally is awarded for 100 years of service, this dude has been a marine for 2 centuries. I'd say its probably a ritual that is done once in a while, for religious observance or something.
@@scarredcoyote I didn't notice the studs until you pointed it out. I feel dumb for that. But yeah i want to agree with the idea of this being done once in a while instead of every deployment.
he was probubly critically wounded in duty not killed and has recovered and so he needs to be re sanctified again into service like a blessing and spiritually protected and prayed over
true, and the bad thing is we would probably see new animators joining and quicker release of this films, rather than gw getting those animators with slow production and release date with the same fan quality instead of like a budgeted company quality
To be clear GW didn't stop fan animation being created, they stopped the monetization of those fan animations. While that does disincentivise their creation I think something can be said for true fans making this work without needing to be payed for it. For example the seige of Vrakks animation has come out and GW has let it be (Its really good I recommend everyone check it out). All in all, if the community didn't have such a knee-jerk reaction to it we would still have all of the animators that didn't decide to go work with GW.

More and more I have found myself taking a moment to really appreciate how great it is to be a Warhammer fan lately. Creations like this video have been the catalyst for many a moments reverie.
"how great it is to be a Warhammer fan lately". I rather go back to the times when GW didn't shit on the fan creators and threatened them or keep them in the limbo with dishonest work offerings. Astartes is dead, If the Emperor had a TTS is dead, we lost Sodaz, they took down the "Last Church" etc. They scale down what they promised as their own Animations and the quality of it is "inconsistent" at best. If you asked me, it isn't a great time lately.
Damn, they made Space Marine menacing. Imagine seeing him being torn up by a Hive Tyrant or a Daemon Prince. Jesus, that made the 40k universe even more terrifying.
considering the universe of 40k is called Grimdark, they don't hide how well and truly fucked everything is. The Imperium is basically trying to hold its shit together and keep their emperor alive by sacrificing 1000 people daily, Chaos wants to literally set the galaxy on fire by killing everyone and everything, the Eldar are trying to survive since they gave birth to a God of Chaos which ended their great empire, Orks just wanna fight, loot and kill, Tau try spreading peace but fail, Dark Eldar just wanna sate their sadistic whiles and live, Necrons either wanna reclaim the galaxy or wipe out all life. Anyway you look at it, the galaxy is stuck in a never ending loop of war, death and destruction.

I like to imagine that both this and the raptor way of putting their armor on is true, this one is more likely for ceremonial/ once in a few decades type of thing to reinforce/strengthen the machine spirit. While the Raptor one is more common way they do it.
@@kappsa5365 I'd say the Raptor version is more for the common Marine. This Marine has two silver studs in his brow, so he's been in a while. He may actually be a Veteran Marine, hence the more ceremonial treatment vs the Raptor which could be someone that's got experience for sure (the scuffs on the armor show that), but nowhere near as much experience as this guy has.
Space Marine Armorer Simulator! Play a space marine serf who helps space marines don and doff their power armor! Once you were a space marine aspirant, but you failed the trials, had your mind wiped, and now serve the chapter as a slave! If you make a mistake the space marine will literally beat you to death because your life holds no value! Rated E for Emperor's Finest.
The animators did a truly terrific job, these shorts are phenomenal. It's still disappointing to see that everything Space Marine (aside from HH stuff) related is ALWAYS a Primaris Ultramarine. I get that the marketing team supersedes the decisions of the creative directors but at least throw the old fans a bone and at least pretend you aren't trying to phase out the original designs, GW.
Truth! I still dislike the whole concept of the Primaris. Like, these badass legions of space Paladins we’ve known for years and understand their cultures. Now comes the Poochy Marines to drive model sales. I’m not against capitalism, far from it. I’m against people making decisions that cost money they’re not going to make back because people LIKE what was being sold originally (remember Optimus Prime’s death?) AND break immersion at the same time.
Primaris does not exist , it is just an alternate universe that will never be canon . As for Ultrasmurfs they will one day be revealed as Alpha Legions agents and will be sent to the EoT forever .

@@lukeduran12 “progression of technology” in a universe where man’s technological capabilities is regressing and not progressing? I mean that’s in the lore. Still doesn’t make sense.
Personally, the one detail that just made me beyond happy, is the pupil dilation right after the power pack is attached. That, for me, gave the impression that the armor is like a second skin, an extension of the body, a symbiotic relationship where one is not complete without the other... Or am I just that big of a geek?
In a way, it is. The space marine body is massive feat of bio-engineering that can take up to a decade to complete (preferred recruits are about 13 when initiated). The body is genetically altered, enlarged and had numerous extra organs implanted. The final implant is the black carapace under the skin of the shoulders. The armor connects with this carapace and makes it like an extension of the marines own body. Without the black carapace, you literally cannot use a space marine suit. Oh, and during the recruits training, he also receives mental training to be able to handle the concept of controlling a 1 ton armored suit as if it is his own body.
"You'll carry your prison with you. That armor will be your new cell. Make no mistake, war is coming." "With all its *glory...* and all its *horror."* "Mr. Findley... your freedom awaits."
Wait.. is the animator the same person that made Astartes!? Cause I know he got hired by warhammer workshop in sacrifice of his videos plus the quality of the video gave me similar chills ad astartes
its not, the style and camera work are more smooth and deliberate while the maker of astartes is known for his crisp and fluid animations with sharp camera angles
But space marine should be loyal... his seals and oaths are to be bulwark agaist enemies of mankind, not to be DOOMguy... or to mimic starcraft trailer... :/

There are few things I love when watching videos from Warhammer 40K : first, that's cool. Very COOL. I'm a just a curious noob about this univers but having read some wiki about it for years, I like it. Second : both official and amateur videos are GREAT. Damn, I mean, some amateur's videos are pure quality. I can even feel the passion. Third : you people in the comment section are crazy fanatic fans. And you still remain nice when talking about it. On each videos I read some comments and all I can see is you adding some details about the scenes or the lore and thanking the autor. You are as sane as insanely into this world. So, thank you. P.S. pardon my french heretic english mistakes but I don't like to use translator sometimes.
Now this explains why the armor is super bulky. I always thought space marines were massive but now its because there is important segments the armor requires that make them bigger
Yet despite the bulk, Space Marines are surprisingly agile and dexterous. They wear their armor like a second skin because of the Black Carapace that interfaces their nervous system with their power armor.
The fact that a marine can run at highway speeds like a car from our time, despite wearing armour that is just over 1 ton in weight, is really mind blowing. I wonder if they'd be able to keep up with an Eldari Harlequin in a melee fight if they didn't have to put on such heavy armour.
This is probably the most anatomically correct version of the armor I've seen. Even with the withered genitals, most of the ways it's depicted would require double shoulder joints and extra wide hips.
@@jacobstaten2366 Good point, but that's kind of the Dialed-to-11 style of Warhammer 40k in particular. Sometimes the Power Armor in the artwork is so huge you're wondering how a person even fits in there. I think the worst example of this is Gabriel Angelos from DoW3. He's like some caricature of a gigachad wearing a tank around his bloated body.

Makes you wonder how awsome the other space marine chapters armor wearing rituals are. Dark Angels, Blood Angels and Imperial fists would probably have the same looking ritual as the Ultra Marines along with all their successor chapters. Space wolves, Salamanders and White Scars on the hand would be interesting. They would probably have rituals based of the cultures of their worlds. Iron hands would involve a whole installation of robotic limps while the raven guard would relatively be the same as this clip.
Dark Angels would probably have tech marines or other battle brothers armoring them, since they tend to avoid using tech priests if at all possible. Seeing a Deathwing Terminator armor up or a Ravenwing Black Knight prepare his bike would be amazing though.
It would be so cool to see one of these for each founding legion pre-Heresy. Just to see the differences in their approach. Obviously Salamanders and Imperial Fists would be awesome, but I'd actually be really curious to see what this looks like for something like the Iron Warriors or the Alpha Legion (again, pre-heresy obv).
Something that always seemed like a stark contrast between the lore and the artistic depictions is how in the lore there's tens of thousands of people solely tasked with polishing and buffing various things. I guess it's hard to depict something as both worn and clean at the same time, but in a place where human labour is so cheap they manually load the shells atop starships you'd expect someone to wash the robes and mop the floors at times.

@@theoldworldwargamer8164 Thing is. Saying Starcraft was inspired by only 40K is just a bias to feed the communitys ego. In reality Starcraft took inspiration from many sci fi (like Robocop, Aliens Vs Predator, Starship Troopers). at times including 40K. I'll tell you it also back and fourth, the Zerg inpsired from Xenomorphs. Soon inspired modern designs of Tyranids. The Terran Space Marines in Power Armor are based on the Starship Trooper novellization that came from the 1960s while taking designs from Astronaut suits. GW themselves have no claim on 'Space Marines' though they did try taking it as a trademark soon just distinguishing their own to 'Adeptus Astartes' The Protoss other than their longevity compared to the Eldar are based on Grey Aliens of pop culture+predator(much like Zerg with Xenomorphs). Then they themselves inspired they inspired Tau for their extremely advance tech while making use of piloted drones in war. One of the more obvious inspiration though is the Dragoon being a Dreadnought who is a heavily damaged warrior in a heavily armed life support.
Someone at Games Workshop finally saw the teaser trailer for StarCraft 2 and said "No, that's not metal enough." I really do love this short. It totally encapsulates the style, gravitas, misery, and just over-the-top madness of 40k while also making it look badass. My only complaint is super pedantic, and that's the helmet unnecessarily being assembled out of various parts; why not just have the helmet be a single unit when you're gearing up, especially since Marines often take their helmets on and off?
Same reason all of this is being done in the first place: ceremony. There's no such thing as a necessary ritual. All rituals are extraneous by definition.
Because it's a primaris MK X helmet. That armour is designedly to be modular and as such can be assembled in different configurations like Phobos, Tacticus and Gravis which are the same armour with different bits. Once assembled the helm can be removed in a single piece or in different parts to keep some components on
Covid pandemic *exists* Nurses and doctors: tiktok time! Janitors and cleaners: I accept these burdens as the Imperium bleeds. I accept these burdens, knowing no fear.
I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned already but for anyone wondering about the helmet being segmented (other parts of the armor included). I’m assuming that each and every piece of the armor is seen and even belied to be a sacred treasure being blessed and deified, with that being said it makes sense that it would be assembled but by bit since each piece is as important as the next. Not to mention that this is a ritual after all it’s not too far fetched to think that everything is taken to the very extreme( prayer, procedure, etc.)
I love how the symbiosis between the Mechanicus and the Empire almost perfectly reflects the symbiosis of machine and faith in this universe. Awesome work!
@@gavinhendricks8689 I was thinking the same thing until I saw those two little metal dots above his right eye, those are campaign metals I think, each representing 100 yrs... Might just be a once in every so often ritual, to refresh the blessings of the emperor or something.
@@Luke_______ that makes sense in the books it talks about them donning the armor themselves/with help from regular serfs so this must be a special thing perhaps a rank up or the like
Each Astartes has his own personal Serfs and Servitors, they have many places like this. Also, remember how each chapter is different, some use many serfs, while others just one assisted by machines and servitors. Salamanders for example burn their skin before doning the armor, or Dark Angels using only servitors.
I love how the chanting at 0:40 becomes hard for us to understand until a few seconds later the only word we hear is “ASTARTES”. I get goosebumps everytime I hear it
@@AlpacaButts 2008 Iron Man Movie ;) (The idea for the suit up scene, not for the armor, which in the case of Starcraft was of course inspired heavily by 40K)
@@ducky6699 oh, thanks for the heads up! I wrongly assumed the official starcraft 2 teaser on RU-vid had the correct publish date! Well then considering the timelines of developing games and making movies, I guess it could be that either Blizzard was actually first, or that both had a similar idea around the same time?
