    The original version of your astartes video is what got me into the hobby by reading Horus Rising. I just finished The End and the Death volume 2 yesterday and have over 2k points worth of Salamanders 3 years later. What a ride it’s been. Thanks for sharing, Conor.

    If anyone knows where or if the original version lays, please hit me with a link. While this version is beautifully enhanced with 4k software, the compressed audio is a shell of its former glory. Especially when the audio makes up to 40-50% of the awe-factor of the series.

    I genuinely believe that the author lead the work on Pariah Nexus, if you look at the animation and what not it looked exactly just like the one in Astartes, which is probably why he got busy since GW made him do Pariah Nexus instead of the continuation of Astartes like the one in the intro

    I'm 71yrs old and have been a fantasy fanatic since I was a kid. I was a dungeon master through 70s, 80s and 90s. I always thought no one would ever come close to the lore and volume of the LOTR series, but I was way off,waaaaaayoff! I've become a 40k fan for quite a while now and I am continually surprised by the amount of lore, videos, books and figures in this universe! Thank you for your break downs and for filling in the many blanks we have. I wish I had to time and money to get into playing the game, but being on SS and also having 5 grandkids that live with me ,doesn't leave much disposable income. My wife would strangle me if I added one more hobby to my already vast inventory of do hickies and what-nots. So I thank you for your service ,both in and out, but can't contribute much, except a salute. 😂

    Just my take... but when the Space Marines are absorbed by the Orb and they are floating in the true body's tentacles, the blast of black fire that frees the Space Marines MUST have been the final parting shot from the soul of the Possessed Alpha Psyker, homing in on his last enemies just like the death curse of wizards from Dresden Files When the Psyker is meditating and scrying on the Orbs in the Warp, the Orbs have an aura that is bright blue and somewhat electric visually, while his is like black colored flames surrounding him. When he was possessed and executed, I think he launched a final desperate shot at the remaining Orb.

    I remember when this was released in snippets and was immediately hooked. I waited impatiently for each new release until the end. Although I was aware of the 40K universe and had some curiosity about it I was just a dabbler. However, this incredible piece of fan fiction got me hooked on the lore of this complex and in-depth story that defied the idealistic narrative of most science fiction. Even though I, like most others have hope for a brighter, better future 40K takes that vision and rips it to shreds by reminding us of the shortcomings and foibles of Humanity.

    The original sound was much better. Much more punchy and I thought that it was one of the best parts of an already solid creation. Note: So few people notice that when the marines are room clearing, that he steps in fires, gestures with his arm and moves... That gesture and the resulting flash a second later was him grenading the room as a final "just in case" gesture. Simple, quick, brutal, overkill... what space marines are supposed to do.

    I saw something that really resembled these orbs in a Warhammer 40k game called Gladius (which is Civilisation with a warhammer skin). In it, akin to barbarians you have the various neutral horrors of 40k that pop up on the map. One such of these abberations are the Umbra, which look a lot like these spheres and seem to function similarly to those in Astartes. I can't find a lot on them, apart that they're powerful warp entities, but it could warrant further research.

    Dude your breakdown and introduction to 40k using "Astartes" is fantastic! It's not just going through the video but is a total intro to the lore and mythos (while barely scratching the surface of the hugly deep well that is 40k) that's succinct, to the point, and brilliant. Hitting all the points needing more emphasis and details. Well done sir ! Additionally this fan video is what really made me fall in love with 40k. Before this I knew very little, after I became a total 40k fan and wish to the Emperor of Man that the "Astartes" creator is allowed to make even more videos and finish his work. GW would be completely inept, foolish, and frankly hurt their brand and stock holders if they do not allow this brilliant creator to finish their vision and continue creating absolute works of art. GW needs to ask this question, how many fans existed before "Astartes" and how many were brought into the hobby and fandom by "Astartes"? I guarantee millions of people became fans, and hundreds of thousands joined the hobby and have bought 40k merchandise and it's all because of this fan created video. Lastly if GW denies the creator of this video the ability to "cook" I honestly believe shareholders would have a case to sue for damages and lost shareholders revenue and value. Not so much because of the backlash by existing fans, but because of the lost potential to bring more paying customers into the hobby. Without this video how many currently existing paying customers wouldn't exist (I'm one of them)? To lose the potential for new paying customers to enter the fandom all due to not allowing this man to "cook" would be damaging to existing shareholders.

    Astartes never gets old. While some shows has gotten close, I don't believe any has gotten the shear excitement that Astartes generates. This is done by nothing but shear visual. If there had been dialog from the Space Marines it would have diminished the effect. The care that each scene is constructed conveys all the viewer needs. Every tiny detail moves the story along, my favorite was the prayers on the wall around the containment room. Truly a master piece in story telling. My one fear is that they publish an Astartes II and it has too many cooks in the kitchen. Keep up the great work.

    Not just that but it portrayed the Marines aa faithfully as possible. It really doesn't get more accurate than this as a representation of their pure power and capabilities, mental and physical. WHICH, UNFORTUNATELY, doesn't seem to be how GW wants to portray the Marines nowadays. 90% of their cinematic works represent marines in a medieval knight "chaaaarge" forward ooga booga sluggish tanks. They are usually somewhat emotional or dramatic (pls keep in mind, by what marines standards should, and were set as), they are sluggish with occasional dashes or quick rushes, which still seem slow and not very agile, they are literally 80% dumber and less mentally sharp (* see Sa khan firing 3 random bolt shots before jumping INTO COVER when facing with a MEELE enemy that was far from closing the gap),their enhanced senses/battle instincts are never demonstrated and overall seem slow and simple minded, in a bad way.. they were turned into either abnormally fast but still heavy and slugish tanks with narrative main character syndrome, or, the same but instead of the drama it's a marine that stomps is way forward with no cover, strategy , or care, and as if his weight is dragging him down, while while he scream for the emperor and simply tanks everything in the face. Good example of an exception would be Black Rage Blood Angel vs the Two Death Guard. He moves fast, reacts fast and strategically, while still demonstrating raw power and strength. Then again, that is supposed to be and enraged state in which they aren't thinking straight albeit enhanced in strength. Even tho, that should be pretty much a standard marine fighting and somehow is the only time he didn't just stood there shooting his bolter into the void with no cover, or brandishing is chainsword against pox walkers like a kill trying to slap a fly. And i guess you could argue or question the resilience of those death guards but at this point that's not even worth the debate. So yeah. It sucks. Especially because we got THIS to see them in all their might, with basic weaponry only. Now we are lucky to get snippets of this They are now ooga booga hulking tanks capable of somehwat abnormal agility and little to no thinking or strategy besides, idk, spray fire from cover into general a direction, like a guardsman with lasguns, stand still and spray wtv weapon, walk around carelessly like they own the place, or rush forward in full tunnel vision while screaming "waaagh" because they are stupid and really like fight- oh wait

    @@LilGinjaMassive ahah i apologize, i write a lot without effort when I let myself go But yeah exactly. I think they eventually got to a point where the overall theme/battles/wtv conflicted with how they defined the Space Marines, leading to a conflict where they had to choose between the more tactical, efficient, modern military approach, or the medieval sword clashing rush forward battles but with some technology. They are essentially heavily armored knights with extra speed and attributes. Which is fine in of itself, it just kinda sucks in comparison to what we got to see and understand as what was a Space Marine

    @@LilGinjaMassive appreciate that! Yeah, I'm not extensively knowledgeable or any expert, but I am very passionate about it. And the aspects that made me fell in love with it. Cinematics like this Like the click in my brain when both marines sprint effortlessly at the psykers and I remember "Marines can weight like a literal TON" and suddenly you imagine and understand the absolute terror that would be to have a enhanced, fearless , unwavering tactical genius, weighting 700-1000kg and almost 3 meters tall, with enhancing armor that is comparabe to a tank, SPRINTING at you with the sole purpose of deleting your existence Those moments were you were reminded of how insane marines, and by extension, the enemies, are. That sense of wonder is what lured me in. And many other people. So seeing them reduced to 1/10 of what they are truly saddens me. I want people to see and experience what I did, bcs it was amazing. Not one of the worst fights i can possible think of from 40k, like Sahkan vs the Necron. Which even annoys me... But oh well. I apologize for my rant again x.x

    GW CEO: There are these amazing animators on KZread that have made great animations. Our acquisitions department is in the process of hiring them. What should we do once we have them? Exec 1: Do nothing with them, but keep them locked in a contract. We can't have Disney or Warner Bros hiring them. Exec 2: Keep them locked in a contract, hire other animators for less cash to pump out work without doing any QC checks and make them keep to an insanely tight schedule so they can't put out quality work. Exec 3: Pay the animators we have acquired from KZread good money and give them a reasonable timetable to put out some animation.

    Having observed how they do things with WH+ my guess is that they had Black Library writers and voice actors collaborate with Syama Pederson for Asartes 2. Which is great, Pariah Nexus was really well done. But the problem is that it took Syama 3 years to do Astartes 1, adding voice acting and more writing most likely increased the amount of time the project takes.

    When people ask why the two space marines killed the inquisitor, I tell them that when a psyker gets possessed, you have to act fast, having only a handful of seconds to acts and at best 30 seconds, if you hesitate, bad things could happen like the possessing entity taking control of the psyker's body and wreaking havoc on everything in the vicinity or the entity using the psyker's power to manifest itself in realspace and wreaking havoc on everything in the vicinity or the entity turns the psyker into a warp portal, allowing all sorts of nasties to enter into realspace. So I tell them that in the few seconds just after the psyker gets possessed and before the entity has a chance to take control to do its nastiness, you have 3 options: A) Shoot until the magazine is empty. B) Shoot until the body is mush. C) Both.
