Witcher 3 Trailers are great too. The Story ones

The "Eagle? Falcon?" is the Imperial Aquila. It is double headed with a single eye looking left. This represents the Imperium being blind to the mistakes (and lessons!) of the past, looking forward only. It was The Emperors personal heraldry and was awarded to the Emperor's Children legion to wear as an honour. Nowadays it is a symbol for the Imperium of Mankind. And try not too think to hard about cherubim being dead babies converted into mini helper robots. They freaked the primarch Roboute Guilliman out when he came back, and he has seen some shit.

Yes, this came out well after Astartes. This came out in 2022, same year as the Horus Heresy trailer, and I do believe this was fairly overshadowed by that. Understandably. The babies are Cherubs, they are essentially just drones with slightly more function than servo skulls. They are largely created from vat grown babies that have no conscious, though there are instances of Imperial citizens offering their dead children to the Imperium, as you potentially don't want to bury your baby on a world that has tyranids, Orks, or a Deamonic incursion. Not that you really have any kind of chance of surviving any of those situations as a regular human. Cherubs are largely used in special rituals and ceremonies, such as this, they have a lot of use with planetary governors where they will usually carry/hold symbols of heraldry. As far as I know, they cannot be weaponized, but someone has probably tried. at 15:20 -ish, yes he is a Tech Priest. And he is powerful, in a way. He's leading the chant that the others are maintaining to awaken the Machine Spirit and appease the machine spirit within the marine's armor, as the marine says when his power pack is connected to his armor, the detail in his eyes shows that there is a very active change, implying that the Machine Spirit in his armor has awakened. His mouth moving is potentially just him adjusting to the armor, as it has been blessed. Though, the chanting is more to coax it into awakening, the incense being burned is more to put it in an agreeable state as they beg it to grant its blessing to the marine's armor

For a final comment you nailed it, space marines have a “black carapace” under their skin that interacts with that black muscle fiber bundle and drives the armor connecting it to their central nervous system. Pretty great story telling that from the implants, the look of the under-suit, the fiber bundles tightening and one line of dialogue you knew exactly what you were seeing.

For me its the sheer size of the bolter that stands out. The thing is enormous, it truly shows just how much an astartes is elevated above a normal human.

I'm positive people have said this before. But StarCraft was supposed to be a Warhammer 40K game. But the deal with Games Workshop didn't go as planed so Blizzard decided to go their own route and make a story and universe of their own. Therefor the super similar aspects.

Yeah it's an odd one, ex gw staff and ex blizzard staff have both said that this was the case that starcraft was meant to be a warhammer game, but something happend and the deal ended. Though both GW and blizzard deny this, Blizzard even more so. I also find it interesting that Andy Chambers one of the most famous people in warhammer 40k, one of the lead writers and worked on the early editions of the game, went on to be lead writer for starcraft 2 wings of liberty!

@@AnubisX1 StarCraft was never supposed to be a Warhammer 40k game. People just confuse it with how very early on in the development of the original WarCraft, a team member proposed that they make a Warhammer Fantasy Battles game, but GW wasn't that interested and the rest of the Blizzard team wasn't too keen on making a licensed game because they had been burned doing that in the past. StarCraft was always its own thing. The similarity between the two that everybody obsesses over is the fact that Terran Marines have big pauldrons on their armour and that was a last minute addition in late 1997/early 1998 (StarCraft released in March of 1998). The Terran Marine sprite (called the Marauder at this point, presumably as a reference to Starship Troopers) didn't have any large sections to apply team colour to so they gave the sprite big pauldrons to apply colour to. You can even see in one of the cinematics in the original game (Battle on the Amerigo) that the pauldrons are just kind of floating over top of the shoulders of the armour and aren't attached properly. In 1998, the Zerg and the Tyranids were completely different visually and only really came to resemble each other when GW did the big Tyranid redesign after StarCraft came out. Even then, that was more than likely pure coincidence because Blizzard and GW were both very obviously taking inspiration from the xenomorph designs from the Alien films.

Yes, it is an eagle. It's called the Aquila Imperialis or Imperial Aquila. Like many empires, they are copying Rome. Some of the servitors make the aquila with their hands too, their fingers are the wings and their thumbs are the two heads. It is the 40k setting's version of doing the cross.

Or the Martyr trailer.

This scene is illuminated by the Light of the Emperor.

One of my favourites. When it came out I was rewatching it quite a few times. I became cery interested in WH40k after Astartes, but this one made me look into the lore even more detailed. And thanks for your breakdown here. Most of your explanations made me understand why scenes felt like they felt to me, which I didn't really think about at first. And your videos help in that way very much ^^ Also, I just saw I seemed to have missed your last two/three videos? Hope that was just a one time thing and not that your channel might got struck by the bad luck KZread algorithm : | I mean, I did subscribe, so I don't miss anything, but I also don't check YT every day and go through my sub tab and check everything, but still. Anyway, good video, always a pleasure to watch and listen to you. Already looking forward to the next one. (and also, once again, do For Honor next please : P)

The part where the where it's a close up of his eyes, and it looks like he's *speaking* is the part where the powerpack that connects to the armor powers said armor up and connects to his nervous system. I think he's more so breathing heavier, given you can *see* his pupils dilate, that's why they've focused in on the eyes for you to see it happen. Given it basixally feeds into his brain more information than a baseline human normally gets. "...awakening the armor spirit." Is what you miss near the end of what he's saying sadly. He definitely wasn't talking physically during this haha. I always liked the scene, since it's very telling how it *feels* to be hooked up to armor like it's a second (or maybe third given the carapace) skin!

The Cherubs are cyborg cloned babies. They are arguably slightly more creepy than the flying skull drones.

The cherubs at the end weren't moving in slow motion. The wings they have are decorative. They fly with the same anti-grav technology as the servitor skulls.

About the studs on the forehead, many have different opinions about them but I think mine is more reasonable, I got it from the very old codexes. A silver stud means 25 years and a golden stud means a 100 years. Some say the silver stud means 10 years but in my opinion, the space marine forehead would look like a xilophone. Though 50 years for a silver one would be reasonable but the problem is we see space marines with more then one silver stud. So I think 25 and 100 years are a good call.

@MrGBH

3 ай бұрын

Maybe 50 years for a silver stud, and after they have three of those they start exchanging them for gold ones every 50 years. For example 1 silver = 50 2 silver = 100 3 silver = 150 1 gold and 2 silver = 200 2 gold and 1 silver = 250 3 gold = 300 And if you live for 350 years then you don't need any more studs because you better be well known by then

Hey I know this isn't related to this video but there are things called "terminals" in Halo CE and Halo 2 (as well as other Halo games but not all of them) that have video and audio that go deeper into the lore. Each level has one just like it has cut-scenes. I think there are extras for playing on legendary. But you should check them out! It would make a solid video. I have one in mind in Halo CE about Keyes that is just disturbing. But its written and choreographed in such a way that it forces you to feel horror in a game not know for horror. I'd say use anniversary graphics but OG are good too

The emperor protects! The dawn of war clips are cool, the first one is defo an old school cinematic, and Dawn of war 2 gets more serious, with dawn of war 3 is very sombre just very sad it was such a bad game, in reality the dev team never actually wanted to make Dawn of war 3 but had to at segas insistence. They wanted to do company of hero's, as by that point all the og dow team had left Relic. It's a sad ending to one of the best RTS series. It's sad in that it was the last we heard of thr blood ravens. The mysterious space marine chapter created by relic for the games and became canon by GW. They pretty much haven't been heard from again in the setting since Dawn of war 3. Also I would highly recommend the Total warhammer 3 trailers starting of with the immortal empires trailer.
