Hopefully some answers: 1. They were cruising through the warp and the freaky things were demons. 2. The ship was a Word Bearer (red guys who got humbled in trailer) ship with some World Eaters (white with blue nutjobs) and a single random Night Lord (sneaky kneeling guy with VIII for 8th legion). No primarchs here just regular marines. 3. The few surviving Ultramarines (13th legion, loyalists) were being killed off in duels as their sergeant or captain (hanging torture guy) watched. 4. The jacked human was someone about to become an Ultramarine before things went badly wrong. 5. The plan is to use the dead Ultramarines' armour in a sneak attack on the next world. 6. All this is a small sideshow well away from the main fleets and half a galaxy away from Horus and the Emperor's showdown.

To add, the human-machine near the beginning is the Imperium’s alternative to AI for computers. But yes, as you said, not a fun job 😂

@@frokghug I wonder, why did the Imperium never bothers to create animal servitors? I mean, imagine a swarm of rat servitor.

@@awalkingfire2176 I would imagine the cognitive capabilities of the “subject” (for lack of a better word) play a role in what the servitor is capable of. You could probably modify a rat like a servitor for reconnaissance or with a bomb on it I suppose, but you would have to actually train the rats to do those things (otherwise it’s just a machine anyway that you spent time/resources strapping to an animal for some reason). But feel the imperium could come up with a controlled fully mechanical option that would be much easier and cheaper to produce for most instances I can think of where you would be using an animal/machine hybrid.

@Zoomer Stasi I was referring to when they were forced to kneel as Monarchia burned.

First of all, bravo for actually reading the intro, it answers most of the questions. Most reacts just ignore it. The angry dude is an Ultramarine officer, could be from a sergeant up to a captain, he's being put there while they slaughter his men one by one. Each legion has it advantages the "bad" guy dueling here is specialized on melee, while the Ultramarines are specialized in tactics, strategy and logistics in a mass scale, so he's at a disadvantage. All that weird things happening and the beings moving are due to the presence of the warp, as stated in the intro, currently the ship is traveling through the warp (the way most races travel above the speed of light in the 40k universe) the laws of physics do not exist in the warp and the manifestations of Chaos Gods, their followers and random warp being can randomly and without obstruction act in that plane of existence. The Ultramarines stuck in the floor and walls are due to aggressive teleportation, again they basically send through the warp people to the targeted location, the problems in this case are the speed of the vessels, mind you both ships move at an astronomical speeds throughout the void (and not in straight lines). The second problem comes from the pure unpredictability of the warp and lastly because of the Void/Gellar fields shielding the ships impending the whole process. With all those factors and considering that a few decimals of error (0.00^n..001%) would result in centimeters of displacement and a marine occupying the same space as another object, it becomes clear to understand what happened there. Sorry for the syntax errors etc, english obviously isnt my native language and dyslexia aint helping either.

Yeah, Death of Hope was really intended for people steeped in the lore. Basically, this was a ship of chaos marines traveling through the warp(hence, the crazy purple space and wacky demons all over and in the ship). This is set during the Horus heresy(30k) and chaos is in the middle of invading the loyalist empire. This ship is part of chaos raids on Ultramarine home-planets intended to tie up ultramarines- preventing them from joining up with other loyalists at Terra. A big thing which can be understandably hard to get, is that chaos marines were notably stealing ultramarine armour and invading ultramarine planets that way, hence in the final scene 3 'ultramarines' prepare for arrival. There are so many more references, like the 'big boy' was a mark I terminator from niche lore, the nature of Ultramarines and Word Bearers(aptly described in the reactions to the trailers), World Eaters legion as "sons of the red angel" and their 'nails.' But, without background info, all of this stuff is understandably confusing or simply not impactful. The visuals are absolutely fantastic, from the detail in filigrees and artistry of gold on armour, to the caking of blood on the World Eater's armour. Unrelated note, wh40k animations by SodaZ, or Dawn of War I & II trailers could be fun to check out! Or, more Starcraft II cinematics, or even warhammer fantasy trailers.

18:44 THis is a Ghal Vorbak, or More commonly called a Possessed Space Marine. The Ghal Vorbak was a Group of Warriors amongst the Word Bearers, who became the First SPace MArines to Willingly accept to have a Daemon bound to there flesh, and becoming the Vessel of the daemon. See Daemons have a hard time passing from the Warp to our Univers, and they cannot stay indifinatly in our Univers, if there isn't a Warp source. Thats why they make uses of Warp Storms, rituals, Sacrifices etc, to gather Warp Energy and be able to prolong their stay in the Material univers. One of the ways a Daemon can stay quasi indifinitly is through Possession, be it of a living being or a Machine build for it. Thats why you have Daemon Engines. Charnal Possession is the best way usually, they will have a complet control of their Hosts and be able to power them and even change them through their Powers. While a "normal" Human possessed, is allready an Horryfying thing to see whats it is capable off... Possessed Space Marines are on a new whole level. Imagine a Mutated, Shape-shifting Near Immortal Monstrosity with the Body and training of a Space Marine... WHile usually the Daemon takes complet control of the Hosts mind, leaving nothing of it, with Space marines it is different, cause the PAct is done willingly and the ritual for it has some restrictions in place to protect the Mind of the Marine. THey are in some sort of Symbiotic relation, wich makes for Powerfull Elite troops, with Terrifying Power.

THis takes place during the Horus Heresy (so 10.000 years ago) It pits the Ultramarines (Boys in Blue) VS the Word Bearers (Boys in Red and Silver with flaming books on their shoulders) and the World Eaters (Boys in WHite/Blue armors or with No armors fighting) SPOILER While the WB and WE plans was to lay waste to the Ultramar Worlds( the 500 worlds under the control and protection of the Ultramarines) as a diversion so that the UM could not do much else than to be on the defensive while the other Traitors Legions where fucking shit up elsewhere. The Real Objective of Lorgar (the Word Bearers Primarch) was to cause so much blood shed and carnage, that he would be able to complet a ritual that would turn his Brother, the Primarch of the World Eaters, Angron, into a Daemon Prince. Angron's Brain Implants that made him super aggresive and All Time Angry boi( implants forcefully put in him from the Nobles and slavers on the planet where he grew up to made him a Gladiator), was actually Killing him over time, rendering his brains into soup. Even the Emperor could not remove the Butcher's Nails( the brain implants) cause it would Kill Angron, so no one attempted anything. The Only that Lorgar found, was to turn him into an Immortal Being, a Daemon. The Ascension to Daemonhood requires LOTS of blood and sacrifices, and so this was One of the Shadow Crusades objectives.

13:30 Yup... this is the Corruption and Mutative Power of Chaos/Warp energy... It ain't no joke...

11:57 as you remember Breaky's vid, he explained that in the WArp you have Energy and Daemons, but you also have Souls. The WArp is also called the Sea of Souls, cause at first the warp was a calm and peacfull place, when all there was , was a few primitives life forms in the galaxy, and plant /animal lives. So the souls of the dead would pass through the Warp, be cleansed and then return to the Material univers to re-incarnate. But has civilisations, war, crimes and hatred started to spread, the Warp became turbulent and full of Daemons. But you still have Souls in it, but for the most part they are Lost souls ... So these things flickering in and out are that Lost Souls. usually when a Ship goes through the Warp, they will have a protective barrier called a Gellar Field, that would protect the crew and passangers from the Denizens of the Warp, be it Daemons or others, and of its corruptive power. But Chaos Space MArines, don't give a shit, since they are the Chaos Gods minions, so they usually don't bother with Gellar Fields, meaning that both Daemons and Lost Souls are free to wander in the Ships.

If only they made a part 2

how did i miss this?!!!

Nakal approves.

I would reccomend checking Arch's reaction to the video. He explains a lot of it. There is a ton of lore behing each scene, but basically: This was during the Horus Heresy (10000 years before the W40k). Its on the ship of the traitor space marines - sons of Angron (World Eaters) and Lorgar (Word Bearers - guys humbled in the trailer) flying through the warp to attack another of the 500 worlds of Ultramar. 500 worlds unified by primarch Roboute Gulliman, leader of the ultramarines (13th legion, guys in blue armor, the guy pinned on the wall of the arena, also the guy fighting with the axe in the arena). All the creepy stuff is the effect of the warp or the real demons (the flickering creatures). The lady with the baby got mutated by the warp (probably Nurgle). The big spiky guy at the end in the arena was a marine possesed by a demon. In the final scene saying "lets begin" were three traitor space marines in the ultramarines armor probably getting ready to infiltrate the next world to sabotage it before the invasion.

big confusion

As much as I love the Death of hope, I think Helsreach is 1000 times better
