A lore video about the horrific chaos space marines called The Black Legion comes out NEXT WEEK (2/10) so subscribe so you don't miss it!
Aka those guys lead by Failbaddon the Armless
So we going through the Vanilla boys of both sides to start. Smart
Hi plat,
Great content and happy to.see you enjoy the hobby
Small points
The emperor did not create the ADEPTUS astartes, just the astartes (and back then it was legiones astartes) adeptus came after
The ultramarines are not really the biggest chapter, actually the codex astsrtes (written by robobutty) forsees a standard size of 1000 ..the only chapter that is known to offcially say like fuck this is the black templars who are hence the biggwst chapter. The ultramarines have most sucessor chapters though as they were the most numerous legion after the conclusiom of the heresey
Not sure if it's possible but an edge smoothing tool for the objects in the background might enhance the videos. Though I assume you tried it and it messed with the models, not sure if it would be possible to render the background first and apply edge smoothing to it, and have the models on a separate layers or something... Just thinking out loud, looking forward to seeing where the channel goes!
You do realize you're making me want to get into Warhammer, right? Shall I send you the bill? XD

I think one of the most quintessential ultramarine interaction is when Gulliman meets one of his soldiers on an unscheduled visit to his post

"Soldier, you polished your armor too hard"
"My lord, we are ultramarines, trying too hard is what we do"
"as they are the largest Chapter of Space Marines in the Imperium"...
Laughs in Black Templar
They were the largest legion before his own Codex broke them up. Bit of a mistake there
Yeah, glad someone mentioned that.
YOUR CODEX IS CRINGE, GIRLYMAN!
[Crusade of Laughter]
aren't the wolf close to them ?
Chapters (except the Chad templars) are capped at 1000 marines, some creative interpretations of the codex astarties can bump the marine count up a bit. But the ultrasmurfs probably have the most succesor chapters. Meaning the girly robot gorilla rowboating mans genetic line has the most marines
Rowboat Girlyman's name being addressed in the first minute is pretty much all I needed to see.
Fun fact. The space marines aren't called that because they are marines in space.
The Adeptus Astartes are actually named after the God Emperor of Mankind, Jimmy Space. They are his Space Marines.
After Arcan Land’s Land Raider, I wouldn’t be surprised lol
except Adeptus Astartes came after the spcemarines was a thing
Yes because Amar Astartes made it.
Adeptus Astartes can be copyrighted, but space marine couldn't, which is the most Imperial thing ever even though it's a real world reason.

The greatest "WITNESS ME!!!" moment in all of 40k.
Even the khornate brainlet immediately charging towards Gulliman?
That seems like such a realistic little detail.
@wikipediaintellectual7088 guilliman didn't have a flaming sword at the time since that was actually his dad's but the kornate marine was immediately and brutally dealt with.
@@khurelbatbayanbat7913
Sure but did he Leeroy Jenkins the primarch or what?
@@wikipediaintellectual7088 Where before Roboute Guilliman had sat, a pale, stasis-locked revenant, now the Primarch stood awake, alert and very much alive. His presence was immense, dominant as a thunderhead suddenly filling the shrine with its crushing pressure. Guilliman was clad in a magnificent new suit of armour, an ornate masterwork that had travelled all the way from the forges of Mars within Cawl’s auto-reliquary. In one hand the Ultramarines Primarch held the blade of the Emperor, lit now from hilt to tip with leaping flames, and in his eyes was a look of such murderous intensity that even the loyalists within the shrine quailed to see it.
It was as though a spell had settled over the shrine. Though outside the din of war thundered on, within that echoing chamber friend and foe alike stared awestruck at the legendary figure reborn in their midst. An incoherent scream of rage shattered the silence, a single Khorne Berzerker charging headlong through the stunned combatants to launch himself in a flying leap at the Primarch. Guilliman moved with such blistering speed that the Ynnari themselves would have struggled to match it. His burning blade drew a pyrotechnic arc through the air as it swung, bisecting the Khorne Berzerker at the waist and hurling his severed halves to the ground.
As the Chaos worshipper’s armoured corpse crashed to the floor, the spell was broken. With a great howl of hate, the Black Legion warriors surged towards Roboute Guilliman. Wordlessly, the noble demigod strode to meet them, and the carnage truly began.
This was the best "it's 2024, time for something else" video yet. Fantastic work! Can't wait for more!

The field around the ship is just keeping him from being a burned popsicle. He's absolutely holding his breathe the whole time he just has the genetics to pull it off.
40k makes no sense to me because it sounds like you can easily just send exploding ships or nukes wherever you want so why couldn't their enemies just wipe out the primarchs
because a Primarch is basically a demi-god. only another primarch (or in Konrad Kurze case) a highly skilled assasin can take them out. @@user-tx4wj7qk4t
@@user-tx4wj7qk4t Primarchs are essentially demi gods, they were each meticulously hand crafted by the Emperor himself. They're all latent Psykers (space wizards) to a certain extent, probably twenty times the size of a normal human, they're a blur at full speed, have superhuman strength and intellect, and 10k+ years of combat and strategic experience. They're nigh unkillable by normal humans, let alone Space Marines.
@@kenny187ful I know that, space would stilil kill them instantly as the above comment said. Unless they're the emperor, sending a ship that explodes would kill them all
@@user-tx4wj7qk4tAnd you can't really send ships and nukes just wherever you want with a flick of the wrist. Nukes still have to be transported by ship, and for a ship to travel long distances in space, it has to tear a hole in reality to enter the Warp (space hell), travel through the Warp, all while hoping the ships protective field holds because if it doesn't the demons outside are going to ravage and eat all of the ships crew, then tear another hole in reality to re-enter real space, all while hoping you're still in your current timeline because time passes differently in the Warp, what seemed like twenty minutes in the Warp could have actually been a thousand years in real space.
Not too shabby on the lore but the production of this video is blessed by the emperor himself

[Screams in zealot]
Lore mistake, lore mistake! It's Codex Astartes, not Codex of Astartes! [Continues screaming]
And the misunderstanding of fascism.
The empire is not a fascist state. But that is easily misunderstood, so I don't blame people for it.
Also Ultramarines are not largest chapter. All codex compliant chapters are limited to 1000 battlebrothers. Largest chapter would be one who does not follow Codex Astartes number limitations, like Black Templars. They also do not rule Ultramar themselves. Ultramarines were one of biggest legion during pre Horus Heresy, but numbers would change between legions as they fought and lost, and replenished their forces so what legion was biggest would change during that time. Ultramarines legion used to rule Ultramar, but post Codex Astartes it's Ultramarines ruling Macragge, while rest of system is rulled by successors chapters.
Could you just not be so pedantic over a joke comment? Please and thank you.
Edit: Nothing worth reading bellow. Close the replies.
@@Gokkee Can you explain the difference between the imperium of man and fascism?
@SomeInfamousGuy
Yeah, fascism comes in some different forms like everything does, but the two most accept as THE fascist states are the Italian fascist state birthed by mussolini with "Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State". And the H guy in germany with Neo fascism.
But both of these were born out of national socialism that separated itself from communism.
These states are not big fans of religion, so the God emperor religion would not be accepted.
The only reason the imperium of man is as warrior like is because it's literally threatened by outside forces in every single direction. And that has nothing to do with fascism.
It's much closer to a theocracy, but not the same. I got to check what other parts were included since I can't remember from the top of my head.
'motherless bastard" that got me 💀
I don't want to be the "um actually" guy but Omegon is not turned in to the deamon, he's missing.
I am Alpharius
OR IS HE?
This is a lie, I am alpharius
He died
This comment is a lie
I have known Warhammer 40k for 6 years now from video games. I didn't read the books but saw videos and memes about the lore and thought that the G-man was in a relationship with the Eldar woman.
People are really fond of making jokes about the fact Yvrainne was the one who helped revive Guiliman.
He's, at the very least, friends with her.
Read Godblight. She gets all tsundre when someone brings up she's getting Guilliman a relic for absolutely no gain to herself.
@@Blundabus1337 You sure you got the right book? I cant remember her being even mentioned in there, closesed we have when it comes to that is Eldrad and some of his followers being in talks with Guilliman, since they are allied.
The Yannri are at best on a seize fire of diplomacy terms with Guilliman and the IoM et large.
If gw doesn't comes and deny it in our face then it's canon
16:41: One thing about the Emperor, at least while he still walked, was that he appeared to each of his sons (and propably anyone else) in a way that best fits to their perceptions. This was partially adjusting his behavior, but to a large part psychic his psychic power which the Emperor might not even be able to control. To Vulcan he appeared as an honourful competitor, he stood his ground against Leman Russ in an eating plus binge drinking competition (!), to Fulgrim every word he spoke was multi-layered poetry, and so on.
It is no wonder that he calls Guilliman, the master of strategy and logistics, his most favourite toy, because that is how Guilliman most easily handles human interaction (despite being a more complex character than that). What the Emperor _actually_ thinks about his sons is unknown and unknowable.
This is absolutely excellent. I think generally content like this which is easy to digest, funny and well animated is great for people who have heard or seen something vague about Warhammer is invaluable in getting people into the hobby. Excellent job.

Ultramarines aren’t the largest chapter. That’s more likely the black templars. Ultramarines have close to 1,000 members at all times as per the codex they cite all the time.

Amazing work, Platinum. I hope this new channel will grow and prosper, there is so much editing and work going into this! I've recently been trying to get into 40K, and it's just so overwhelming at times, but the universe is so damn cool I keep going 😀

Adult me: "Daddy G, please help me organize my life."
My dude has only been here since 2023, only released 3 videos, and he's already got a unique presentation style that makes him stand apart the shadow of the OG/iconic 40k CZcamsrs like Arch (love or hate him, he was the first big 40k lore guy on the platform and has an entertaining presentation. Granted, his humor maybe an acquired taste), Luetin09 (do you want _long_ videos that are almost dissertations on lore?), 40kTheories (what it says on the tin), etc, etc.
I tip my hat to you Platinum Lore, and will be following your career with great interest.
He started off in the WoW community. He’s trying to content farm off 40k, but I’ll allow it since this content is actually very good.
Good guy, help him out by pointing out his mistakes early for example saying Ultramarines is the largest chapter thats heresy
Honestly, I've never consumed anything related to Warhammer 40k but your videos are so well put together that I'm actually willing to give the franchise a try.
Don't eat the books or models. It's not good for you.
A few mistakes at 2:40 There wasn't "hundreds" of planets being brought to the Imperium, it was hundreds of thousands. And the Ultramarines didn't turn the planets they conquered into one of the Ultramars 500 planets, those were already doing well.

This is one of the highest production Warhammer content I have ever seen. EXCELLENT job.
I don’t know how else to say this, but you did an incredible job with this video. I’m a lore reader myself and this is an excellent jump into the lore of the series. Also using the models of the actual tabletop game is a great way to show off the look of the franchise while differentiating yourself from the many other channels that do 40k content on CZcams.

This channel was great idea. The use of photogrammetry has paid off excellently.
I vividly remember thinking earlier this week "man, Platinum should make 40k videos" then woke up to this. Man was I not disappointment
Can you think the same thing about me winning the lottery? I’ll split it with you!
Regarding to Tyranids and Zerg similarities. Both are copied from bugs from Starship Troopers (the book more precisely in case of W40k, book and possibly to some degree movie in case of Zerg). And after Starcraft's success Tyranids had their models (and I think lore as well) refreshed making them way too similar. In similar way, if my memory serves me correctly, Cadian regiments got new models after movie that are similar to Mobile Infantry.
If there're 3 things both GW and Blizzard are masters at, they're: borrowing homework and "changing it a little", retcons and being bad at numbers.
*Ah, these 10,000 men are surely enough for an entire planetary invasion. We have a whole 3 space marines on our side after all!*
That sounds like on of those million made up myths and hearsays based on hearsays based on someones visions.
As the Bugs (pseudo arachnids in the book) from Starship Troopers have literally nothing in common with the Nids or the Zerg in any regard what so ever.
From apperance, Nids and Zerg being pseudo insectoid reptiles, with the Star Ship troopers ones being larger spiders, if weird looking ones.
to technology, both Nids and Zerg deploy soley organic weapons, were as the pseudo arachnids use actuall technology like space ships and direct energy weapons.
As for the models.
Tyranids 2nd ED (1995) looked way more similiar to Star Craft 1 (1998) than the 3rd ED models (2001).
Infact the Zergs SC1 color palete is virtually identical to the Nids ones, while the refresh range would have been already way into production when SC1 was released ( since GW is extremly slow intentionally with their editions ) Double so ironically the Star Craft 2 Zerg art looks inturn way more similiar to the post 3rd ED nids.
Cadians arent even remotly based on Starship Troopers either.
As the movie was released in 1997 with the first Cadian range being released in 1995 and the Cadian refresh being released in 2003. Closest release would have been the first iteration of the Stormtroopers, but they have , safe for some texture, no similiarities to each other.
Emperor has 21 sons, 10 seconds later ALL 20 sons :(
