What is the Codex Astartes? | 40k Lore 

Dude you just got some really high praise. My 75 year old mother has been living with me since Covid hit. I listen to lore quite a bit, especially when I'm eating. The other night I was watching you video on the Space Wolves and my mom asked me who you are because "he is the best of all those guys you listen to". She said you have a nice voice and explain things really well and actually interested her in all of this.

Glad to see a new 40K channel that talks about the lore in a non-serious way. Love the humour despite already knowing the lore, more or less

I love that the T'au figured out the Codex pretty quickly and were able to outplay the space marines of the damocles gulf and have since had a reality check whenever they come across non-codex compliant or even Ultramarines now that Guilliman is in charge and can make on the fly decisions

I think the Codex Astartes gets a bad wrap amongst the fans. Yes, they limited the size of Astartes forces to 1000 space marines per force, or 1000 sword brothers and 5000 “Initiates” and 8000 “neophytes” if you’re the Black Templars, but that size limit kept shit from the Badab wars from getting out of hand and turning into another galaxy wide civil war. Yeah, the loyal legions had proven their loyalties, or at least their loyalties to the loyal primarchs, but as the loyal primarchs began disappearing, there was no guarantee of that loyalty staying. It also limits corruption of a space marine chapter to 1000 marines. Also the Codex was originally written by Guilliman as a training manual that all the legions were to read and learn as a hypothetical so each marine would have some tactical solutions on hand before ever facing a battle scenario and as a way to make inter-legion operations smoother because every marine will have the Codex to fall back on to reduce conflicting strategies.

Breaking up of the 13th Legion is a key part on why the imperium decayed so much in the 10,000 years between 30k and 40k

-Azrael: Asmodai? +Asmodai: interogate? (Blessed be the creators of TTS, for they have forever changed our perceptions of certain characters! Such as: Cato sicarius, cypher, asmodai and kaldor drago!!!)

Indeed there is a lot of fluff unless it’s Kharn head butting Eribus’s shinny little head bolt before cutting off his arm and telling him to get up.

"I hope you fuckers are learning something" HAHAHA I lost it, i laughed so hard, PLEASE keep this up this is GREAT!! xD

Just recently found this channel and it gives me serious Pancreasnowork vibes and I'm all about it

To give people an idea how OP space marines are in comparison to other universes if one space marine was present at the battle of Hogwarts he would have slaughtered Voldemort's entire army in a matter of minutes

for another chapter thats weird with scouts, iron hands clan companies recruit directly from their clans on medusa this also includes the first company veterans. avernii scouts go directly to the first company veterans. the veteran part comes from their bionics as they give the new veteran the "veteran" bionics of the previous marine.

This was good... im newish. And it actually helped me understand better. I've listened to probably 20+ audio books but they usually don't explain shyt. Sometimes jst confuse me more.

Do worldeaters

3/5⭐️ It was okay -Rogal Dorm

I love your intros! "uuuhhhhh HI" brins a smile to my face as well HI :)

Love your videos man, very simple and sweet

Love these videos man

omg, I love your attitude and your humurous demenar it's fantastic!

There are a lot of messed up scenes in Watchmen. Was it that scene where that guy did that thing and the other guy is all like "Whaaaaa?" And then kerblooey? That scene? Great reference, my man.

2:07 for headphone warning. Literally scared the shit out of me

Black templars be like: What's a librarian?

I already know about the codex but these vids are entertaining

Good video. I've been trying to figure out what is the codex

Ancient, and Company Champion.

Black Templars and Space Wolves: Fuck the CODEX!

I think the first captain of the Dark Angels, Belial.

Talks shit about Lamenters. Me: “Ohhh you done it now”

just one more scoooore

Fun fact : if Guilliman added edits to the Codex Astartes upon his return, then the work is not based on logical necessity. It is then a legal work, and following it is an affirmation of devotion to the leader. So the Ultrasmurfs were right to worship it.

1) Can a Codex Compliant Chapter sport a melee-focused combat doctrine, even among its rank-and-file troops, or are bolters mandatory for compliance? 2) Does having an unusually high amount of psykers make a chapter non-compliant? 3) Can companies be deployed in smaller squads or strike teams while still being considered companies, ala The Alpha Legion? 4) Did fucking Burger King Moldova actually call fursuiters fucking Beast Man?

Librarians. Space wizards, and a "bunch of book keeping nerds"

Also known as Black Templer TP!

9:54 this reminds me of Chaplain Bald :D

4:26 This is not tedious minutiae at all. This is the very basics of the book that even a serf who speaks low gothic is reasonably expected to understand. The tedious minutiae comes much later where they detail every single potential factor of a battle and what the best course of action may be in a specific unlikely scenario.

Which chapter has a taco Tuesday?

Toilet paper of The Dark Templars and Dark Angels 😊

Intrusive thoughts got hands😅

Its always funny when people find psykers and magic weird in 40k. 40k is high fantasy with a sci-fi coat of paint itd be weirder if it didnt have magic.

And this my friends, is why my chapter ( Sons of Retribution) are NOT codex compliant.

Wouldnt it be just like the Alpha Legion to end up with a Third secret Promarch I mean... three heads has the serpent

I saw the Cato Sicarius image and I was hoping it was the shitpost one

Custodes, when?

by the dark god 1000sm only? how can i siege the shit out of everthing with out my cannon fodder i mean battle brothers yes

Nerd book

Woah woah woah you didnt say "im arthur"

THE CODEX ASTARTES DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS ACTION!!!

The Codex Astartes is Toilet Paper.
