Well I think this Marine was becoming a full fledged battle brother which is why the ceremony you can see the black carapace being installed which I don't think can be removed after.
For those who want to swear the oath for their own initiations: “I accept these burdens as the Imperium bleeds.” “I accept these burdens knowing no fear.” “I accept these burdens as an angel of the Emperor.” “I sheathe my form in a second skin, this veil of machine-muscle and false nerves.” “I stand firm against the alien, the mutant, the heretic.” “I grant no mercy, I give no ground.” “With humility I bear the Imperialis, the symbol of loyalty unbroken.” “With reverence I receive actuation, awakening the armor’s spirit.” “With pride I wear the symbol of my chapter, and join my brothers in war.” “I am iron, I am wrath, I am doom.”
For everyone mentioning how long the whole ritual takes, something to keep in mind is that it is not uncommon for astartes on campaign to spend a long time in their armor. Like weeks or months. They may take of parts of it, but it is designed to truly be a "second skin." Outside of their fortress-monetary and on their vessels there are probably only rare instances when an astartes is NOT armored. So they may don their armor days or weeks before actually seeing combat.
Not only that, but the importance of the ritual is something to remember, too. It's not the real world, these guys are fighting evil aliens and literal demons. The Machine Spirit exists. To risk angering it by not appeasing it through ceremonies like this could be disastrous, for all we know. With this in mind, the time spent performing the ritual does not matter, as the outcome for not performing the ritual could be a death sentence.
The whole cinematic is full of those little touches, shows that people who made this are genuine warhammer enthusiasts and not just some random animators, which often is the case with other trailers.
The imperium post Emps is basically just peanut brain. But this is still epic as fuck. 100% certain that in rapid response scenarios this would be mostly skipped though. You think the Scythes of the Emperor had time to deal with this dogshit while on their thousand year retreat from the 'nids? Fuck no.
@@predatorancient in the description it mentions that this is what happens for when a marine puts his armor on for the ‘first time’ so assumedly this is a fresh marine taking an oath of sorts as his first battle ritual
“They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them, and in the furnace of war shall I forge them. They shall be of iron and steely sinew. In great armor shall I clad them and with the mightiest of weapons shall they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight them. They shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines...and they shall know no fear”- Emperor of Mankind
@@andreamaresan9131 It is 100% from the Emperor. It is directly attributed to him in Horus Heresy Book One: Betrayal published by Forge World on page 26. It is also attributed in The Deathwatch Core Rulebook page 12 under which it is said to have come from The Aprocypha of Skaros i.e. the oldest surviving copy of The Codex Astartes. In short it was originally uttered by The Emperor and then widely popularized by Robot Girlyman who used it in his coloring book.
I like how it took them this many years to produce something of vaguely similar quality to the FANMADE armoring scene in the Grey Knights Teaser trailer for the Lord Inquisitor.
For those who may not know, this Space Marine has 2 silver service stubs on his forehead so he has been an Astartes for over 100 years. 1 silver stub is 50 years and 1 gold stub is 100 years. Not only has he been fighting for a century, if this video takes place by the current point of the Indomitus Crusade which has only lasted for 10 years (GW retconned the original 100 years to 10), then this guy was a Firstborn Astartes (the originals) before the Indomitus Crusade, so he crossed the Rubicorn to become a Primaris which is a harrowing process even for Space Marines. This guy's a badass and he hasn't even become a Seagent yet since he has no red helmet.
@@HulaLuau This "advanced armor suit up scene" was basically invented by Marvel for Iron Man in 2008 and has been copied by both Blizzard for the Starcraft 2 teaser trailer with Tychus and now for this Space Marine cinematic. (Of Course Games Workshop more or less defined the modern idea of "futuristic power armor") Why can't we enjoy all of them instead of complaining who is ripping of whom? Also I disagree: I think the Tychus Findlay scene is a lot better than this one, both technically and artistic.
They have hastier armoring rituals when neccesary, though, the Mechanicus dislikes speedy armoring of an Astartes since they feel the armor's spirit can or will be offended. This most likely is right before arriving at major offensive, so ritual and supplication can be performed at the leisure of the Mechanicus. In a warzone or on a defensive, then they armor as quickly as possible.
Plus, the description specifies that this is what it looks like the first time a space marine gets armored up. I imagine the first time they put on their armor is a bit heavier on ritual than say the thousandth time they put it on.
I love how these give a sense of scale. This is a single ultramarine. Just one. And you can see how amazingly huge he is, and what sort of mechanical monster he becomes to cleanse the heretic, the mutant and the alien.
@@jupiterrising887 The aftermath of a great battle, or should I say a mile or 2 away from where the Tau sniped their target, after expending most of their ammo. "Sir, we're sure we just killed their God Emperor, right?" "Yes, why?" "Because I'm seeing about 999 more God Emperors rushing towards our position."
Look up the Damocles Crusade. Just as hilarious is how a Tau commander saw moving mountains in the distance and was completely baffled by them. Then the Titan's energy beam powered up and he never thought again.
I kind of hope Cavill wont be a space marine for the show, but rather a rogue trader or inquisitor. Space marines dont really fit the role of a protagonist in media because the only thing they can do is war. And war is entertaining in small, short doses but unfitting for an entire show. Also: Everyone would get pissed off because Space Marine cavill wouldnt be part of their favorite chapter.
This really helps you feel how sacred and important Space Marines are to the citizens of the Imperium. To the Marines, it's just tools, but to regular people, every Astartes is a demigod, every piece of armor is a sacred relic, every weapon is Excalibur, every act is a legend.
This animation reminds me of Raptor and I can see both being legit armoring proseces as raptor it was far more automated (maybe some one acsually knew how to keep the blasted thing working) making it far more clean too as in here it was all more hole religious seremony whit all the bells and wisles of one.

@@the_infinexos well duh! Only the peoples with the biggest smartest and mostest Awesomest brains who are all very Awesome, Handsome, And Good at the Sex can Understand 40k. Don’t even get me started on what you have to be to be able to Play the Game.
It’s kind of twisted and ironic that 40K of all things is one of the only semi-mainstream franchises that showcases the kind of piety those of deep faith feel. It was created with the over the top satirization of the Crusades era Church yet I feel oddly represented within it.
@@ThePa1riot Everything else in modern media is drenched in a hundred layers of post-modern irony. 40K is the only franchise to step outside that liberal framework. Even if it was originally meant to be satirical, the authors who've built up the lore over decades took it in a different direction, drawing inspiration from chivalric chansons de geste and older epic poetry.
More and more I have found myself taking a moment to really appreciate how great it is to be a Warhammer fan lately. Creations like this video have been the catalyst for many a moments reverie.
"how great it is to be a Warhammer fan lately". I rather go back to the times when GW didn't shit on the fan creators and threatened them or keep them in the limbo with dishonest work offerings. Astartes is dead, If the Emperor had a TTS is dead, we lost Sodaz, they took down the "Last Church" etc. They scale down what they promised as their own Animations and the quality of it is "inconsistent" at best. If you asked me, it isn't a great time lately.
So between this trailer and The Raptor. I like them both for different reasons. I guess you can say different chapters have different rituals for donning their armour. The Raptor is very straight forward his donning is attended by a single techpriest with as little ceremony as possible. Whilst the Ultramarine is attended to by a Techpriest, servitors and chapter serfs with all the grimdark pomp and ceremony befitting a First Founding Chapter.
I dont really like the raptor cause its a literal copy of the SC2 scene with Tychus, just with a marine instead. Like, the animation is ok but he could have at least done more than straight up imitate it. This scene, though, has all the grim darkness of 40k
@@hydradominatus He's Right Raptors are a very straightforward chapter this takes too long and when deployment is a factor Pomp must make way for practicality and the Raptors are practicality incarnate amongst their founding. These guys still use appropriate camouflage.
The Raptor is are good trailer one artist have workt on this pure 40k short vid. Respect for his finish pieces and are complet space marine with belt and amored hips plates.
Honestly don't like either. It's well animated and all, but it's overly complicated just to be overly complicated. Like there is 0 reason to make the helmet like that.
One thing that always strikes me about 40K cinematics, particularly ones about the Imperium, is that they are always so dripping with atmosphere and distinctive visuals. You look at one frame of this video out of context and you know where you are. It’s odd how one of THE, indeed the namer of, GRIMDARK settings can feel cozy and familiar.
any great story told in a visual medium always has amazing atmosphere, and 40K cinematics have, for the most part, always captured that amazingly well. the setting of seeing a gigantic, gothic style hallway with skulls embedded everywhere in a decorative manner and you know exactly what universe it belongs to, is proof 40K carved its own path.
@@Turagrong with the amount of deaths throughout the imperium, no, and on the account of keeping the majority of the imperiums population ignorant, also no. this might be hard to fathom, but a large majority of the imperium planets are simply not aware that there are xeno's in existence.
@@dragjamon i've started delving deeper into the 40K-verse only a while back, but it's very clear from the get go, that the imperium intentionally keeps its citizens and armies as dumb and ignorant as possible, so throwing xeno skulls everywhere would be a no-go
I love how the chanting at 0:40 becomes hard for us to understand until a few seconds later the only word we hear is “ASTARTES”. I get goosebumps everytime I hear it
I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned already but for anyone wondering about the helmet being segmented (other parts of the armor included). I’m assuming that each and every piece of the armor is seen and even belied to be a sacred treasure being blessed and deified, with that being said it makes sense that it would be assembled but by bit since each piece is as important as the next. Not to mention that this is a ritual after all it’s not too far fetched to think that everything is taken to the very extreme( prayer, procedure, etc.)
"I accept these burdens, as the Imperium bleeds. I accept these burdens, knowing no fear. I accept these burdens, as an angel of the Emperor. I sheath my form with second skin, this veil of machine muscle and false nerves. I stand firm against the alien, the mutant, the heretic, I grant no mercy, I give no ground. With humility, I bear the Imperialis, the symbol of loyalty unbroken. With reverence, I receive actuation, awakening the armor's spirit. With pride, I wear the symbol of my chapter, and join my brothers in war. I am Iron. I am Wrath. I am Doom." ~ Adeptus Astartes Armouring Ritual Canticle
@@GRAFFDEMON that's what I was thinking. No way those are skulls of heretics or criminals, but most likely those of martyrs or fallen soldiers, or likely former admech. In any normal franchise, you'd wonder what horrible things a guy did to have his skull used like that, but here I wonder what great things they did to not be ground into nutrient powder upon death.
Why waste other of the Emperor's resources on making bowls when they grow all by themselves? Human blood and human flesh, the stuff that the Imperium is made of.
What makes this especially great is that Starcraft originally cribbed off the whole WH40K aesthetic, only for it all to come full circle with WH40K imitating the SC2 armoring montage.
@@Brainwashed101 Except SC2 never cribbed anything off 40k. Starcraft took far more from Heinlein's Starship Troopers than they did from 40k at the end of the day.
@@frostmagemarii SC2 was definitely inspiried by 40k. Just like WarCraft was inspired by WHFB. It's okay to be inspired by things. 40k and WHFB were inspired by a ton of sci-fi/fantasy stories.
@@theoldworldwargamer8164 Thing is. Saying Starcraft was inspired by only 40K is just a bias to feed the communitys ego. In reality Starcraft took inspiration from many sci fi (like Robocop, Aliens Vs Predator, Starship Troopers). at times including 40K. I'll tell you it also back and fourth, the Zerg inpsired from Xenomorphs. Soon inspired modern designs of Tyranids. The Terran Space Marines in Power Armor are based on the Starship Trooper novellization that came from the 1960s while taking designs from Astronaut suits. GW themselves have no claim on 'Space Marines' though they did try taking it as a trademark soon just distinguishing their own to 'Adeptus Astartes' The Protoss other than their longevity compared to the Eldar are based on Grey Aliens of pop culture+predator(much like Zerg with Xenomorphs). Then they themselves inspired they inspired Tau for their extremely advance tech while making use of piloted drones in war. One of the more obvious inspiration though is the Dragoon being a Dreadnought who is a heavily damaged warrior in a heavily armed life support.
There are few things I love when watching videos from Warhammer 40K : first, that's cool. Very COOL. I'm a just a curious noob about this univers but having read some wiki about it for years, I like it. Second : both official and amateur videos are GREAT. Damn, I mean, some amateur's videos are pure quality. I can even feel the passion. Third : you people in the comment section are crazy fanatic fans. And you still remain nice when talking about it. On each videos I read some comments and all I can see is you adding some details about the scenes or the lore and thanking the autor. You are as sane as insanely into this world. So, thank you. P.S. pardon my french heretic english mistakes but I don't like to use translator sometimes.
I feel like the people complaining about how long this is taking dont seem to understand that Astartes armor is complex to install and it does require techpriests or techmarines to do it properly to appease the machine spirit. Keep in mind that the description says "gets armored up for the first time ". So its possible that this is also a type of ceremony for an initiate becoming a full-fledged battle brother.
Except the marine has TWO long service studs in his forehead. And since a stud generally is awarded for 100 years of service, this dude has been a marine for 2 centuries. I'd say its probably a ritual that is done once in a while, for religious observance or something.
@@scarredcoyote I didn't notice the studs until you pointed it out. I feel dumb for that. But yeah i want to agree with the idea of this being done once in a while instead of every deployment.
he was probubly critically wounded in duty not killed and has recovered and so he needs to be re sanctified again into service like a blessing and spiritually protected and prayed over
@zieg sanada what? You don't think the deathguard have a cool way they change in and out of their armor? Lol Edit: I know they're fused to their armor, no need for more corrections
I love how the symbiosis between the Mechanicus and the Empire almost perfectly reflects the symbiosis of machine and faith in this universe. Awesome work!
Covid pandemic *exists* Nurses and doctors: tiktok time! Janitors and cleaners: I accept these burdens as the Imperium bleeds. I accept these burdens, knowing no fear.
Yeah, that's some primaris nonsense. They have some units that wear collars/half-helms. Standard helmets are one piece that gets lifted off just like any other.
Days of travel. Dozens of shots. Weeks of Bootcamp. Many more days / weeks on the sea to get to your mission destination. Only to be mowed down as soon as you set foot on the sand.
Damn, they made Space Marine menacing. Imagine seeing him being torn up by a Hive Tyrant or a Daemon Prince. Jesus, that made the 40k universe even more terrifying.
considering the universe of 40k is called Grimdark, they don't hide how well and truly fucked everything is. The Imperium is basically trying to hold its shit together and keep their emperor alive by sacrificing 1000 people daily, Chaos wants to literally set the galaxy on fire by killing everyone and everything, the Eldar are trying to survive since they gave birth to a God of Chaos which ended their great empire, Orks just wanna fight, loot and kill, Tau try spreading peace but fail, Dark Eldar just wanna sate their sadistic whiles and live, Necrons either wanna reclaim the galaxy or wipe out all life. Anyway you look at it, the galaxy is stuck in a never ending loop of war, death and destruction.
@@megazetabetaful Don't forget the nearly limitless swarms of horrifying alien bug monsters that want to eat every living thing in the galaxy (along with all the refined metals and the odd planetary tectonic plate that has useable materials in it for good measure), and the Genestealer Cults that arise from them, lurking in the shadows of the worlds of other species, spreading their gene-taint far and wide and insidiously corrupting whole civilisations from within.

I like to imagine that both this and the raptor way of putting their armor on is true, this one is more likely for ceremonial/ once in a few decades type of thing to reinforce/strengthen the machine spirit. While the Raptor one is more common way they do it.
@@kappsa5365 I'd say the Raptor version is more for the common Marine. This Marine has two silver studs in his brow, so he's been in a while. He may actually be a Veteran Marine, hence the more ceremonial treatment vs the Raptor which could be someone that's got experience for sure (the scuffs on the armor show that), but nowhere near as much experience as this guy has.

@@imeprezime50 If you say so. Why does that matter? This isn't even a little like, it's a lot like the Starcraft 2 trailer from what, 10 years ago. A trailer that could have been this for a game series that could have been 40k and brought Games Workshop Billions if not for reasons... It doesn't matter that x was based on y. Everyone gathers inspiration from everyone else. (Although, I've always said halo is clearly what Aliens vs Predator should have been. Unsure about the 40k inspiration as, well, I don't how they fit together, )
Personally, the one detail that just made me beyond happy, is the pupil dilation right after the power pack is attached. That, for me, gave the impression that the armor is like a second skin, an extension of the body, a symbiotic relationship where one is not complete without the other... Or am I just that big of a geek?
In a way, it is. The space marine body is massive feat of bio-engineering that can take up to a decade to complete (preferred recruits are about 13 when initiated). The body is genetically altered, enlarged and had numerous extra organs implanted. The final implant is the black carapace under the skin of the shoulders. The armor connects with this carapace and makes it like an extension of the marines own body. Without the black carapace, you literally cannot use a space marine suit. Oh, and during the recruits training, he also receives mental training to be able to handle the concept of controlling a 1 ton armored suit as if it is his own body.

true, and the bad thing is we would probably see new animators joining and quicker release of this films, rather than gw getting those animators with slow production and release date with the same fan quality instead of like a budgeted company quality
To be clear GW didn't stop fan animation being created, they stopped the monetization of those fan animations. While that does disincentivise their creation I think something can be said for true fans making this work without needing to be payed for it. For example the seige of Vrakks animation has come out and GW has let it be (Its really good I recommend everyone check it out). All in all, if the community didn't have such a knee-jerk reaction to it we would still have all of the animators that didn't decide to go work with GW.

Can’t get enough 40k cinematics. Especially ones with this quality. The amount of times I’ve rewatched the Astartes animation series is probably one too many.
The animators did a truly terrific job, these shorts are phenomenal. It's still disappointing to see that everything Space Marine (aside from HH stuff) related is ALWAYS a Primaris Ultramarine. I get that the marketing team supersedes the decisions of the creative directors but at least throw the old fans a bone and at least pretend you aren't trying to phase out the original designs, GW.
Truth! I still dislike the whole concept of the Primaris. Like, these badass legions of space Paladins we’ve known for years and understand their cultures. Now comes the Poochy Marines to drive model sales. I’m not against capitalism, far from it. I’m against people making decisions that cost money they’re not going to make back because people LIKE what was being sold originally (remember Optimus Prime’s death?)

@@lukeduran12 “progression of technology” in a universe where man’s technological capabilities is regressing and not progressing? I mean that’s in the lore. Still doesn’t make sense.
Something that always seemed like a stark contrast between the lore and the artistic depictions is how in the lore there's tens of thousands of people solely tasked with polishing and buffing various things. I guess it's hard to depict something as both worn and clean at the same time, but in a place where human labour is so cheap they manually load the shells atop starships you'd expect someone to wash the robes and mop the floors at times.
@@cembaturkemikkiran4109 not to mention anytime someone mentions 40k the word "grim" always comes to mind, it be like if your mini figures got painted but never got dry brushing.
The details of armoring is on high level no doubt. But the feeling off rough power is more in The Raptor cinematic , and u can feel that they did it with heath. U can see it in sound contrast.
Makes you wonder how awsome the other space marine chapters armor wearing rituals are. Dark Angels, Blood Angels and Imperial fists would probably have the same looking ritual as the Ultra Marines along with all their successor chapters. Space wolves, Salamanders and White Scars on the hand would be interesting. They would probably have rituals based of the cultures of their worlds. Iron hands would involve a whole installation of robotic limps while the raven guard would relatively be the same as this clip.
Dark Angels would probably have tech marines or other battle brothers armoring them, since they tend to avoid using tech priests if at all possible. Seeing a Deathwing Terminator armor up or a Ravenwing Black Knight prepare his bike would be amazing though.
@@envynemo4170 Blizzard is a gaming company that specialises in visual medium entertainment and is famed for its animated cutscenes, whereas GW is primarily a table top wargaming company - you are comparing apples and oranges. The fact that a company with no prior history in animation has been able to produce something like this from in house assets so soon after moving into a multimedia space is actually pretty impressive. It would be like Blizzard just suddenly releasing a table top wargaming version of its Starcraft or Warcraft universes that could stand alongside industry leading table top wargaming systems after only working in the area for a relatively short period of time, and using in house assets instead of subcontracting out to boot.
Although the StarCraft armor up scene is more glossily produced and shows so much fine detail of machinery, this is just dope and why 40k is the faaar cooler IP. The morbid techpriests and cherubs, the grafted servitor, the ritual and litany, the sense of how ancient and revered both the space marines and the technology they use is. Just gorgeously twisted and unique as opposed to the bulky version of iron man
Both settings are great, although 40k edges it out with how over-the-top it is. Unfortunately, there has never been a Space Marine who is as cool as Tychus Findlay.
Very impressive,not to mention Epic!!! I can't wait till the sequel to Space Marines comes out which is later this year!!!! I have a feeling that sequel is going to be just as epic and full of action,blood and adventure!!! On tha real!!!

@@anderelamaro3815 of course, the Divine topic of the astartes and the universe of Warhammer is unique, and that's why i love it. I just pointed the similar gear up and camera Game use in the clip, not to mention the same armour colour (Ultramarines) and helmet ready for battle. I repeat, it's similar to a clip Made 12 years ago but still love the W40K universe...
Now this explains why the armor is super bulky. I always thought space marines were massive but now its because there is important segments the armor requires that make them bigger
Yet despite the bulk, Space Marines are surprisingly agile and dexterous. They wear their armor like a second skin because of the Black Carapace that interfaces their nervous system with their power armor.
The fact that a marine can run at highway speeds like a car from our time, despite wearing armour that is just over 1 ton in weight, is really mind blowing. I wonder if they'd be able to keep up with an Eldari Harlequin in a melee fight if they didn't have to put on such heavy armour.
This is probably the most anatomically correct version of the armor I've seen. Even with the withered genitals, most of the ways it's depicted would require double shoulder joints and extra wide hips.
@@jacobstaten2366 Good point, but that's kind of the Dialed-to-11 style of Warhammer 40k in particular. Sometimes the Power Armor in the artwork is so huge you're wondering how a person even fits in there. I think the worst example of this is Gabriel Angelos from DoW3. He's like some caricature of a gigachad wearing a tank around his bloated body.
Someone at Games Workshop finally saw the teaser trailer for StarCraft 2 and said "No, that's not metal enough." I really do love this short. It totally encapsulates the style, gravitas, misery, and just over-the-top madness of 40k while also making it look badass. My only complaint is super pedantic, and that's the helmet unnecessarily being assembled out of various parts; why not just have the helmet be a single unit when you're gearing up, especially since Marines often take their helmets on and off?
Same reason all of this is being done in the first place: ceremony. There's no such thing as a necessary ritual. All rituals are extraneous by definition.
Because it's a primaris MK X helmet. That armour is designedly to be modular and as such can be assembled in different configurations like Phobos, Tacticus and Gravis which are the same armour with different bits. Once assembled the helm can be removed in a single piece or in different parts to keep some components on
I think the dude made or took part in making the background chants, since it sounded similar when the marines tried to approach the levitating magic space ball.

For those who want to swear the oath for their own initiations:
“I accept these burdens as the Imperium bleeds.”
“I accept these burdens knowing no fear.”
“I accept these burdens as an angel of the Emperor.”
“I sheathe my form in a second skin, this veil of machine-muscle and false nerves.”
“I stand firm against the alien, the mutant, the heretic.”
“I grant no mercy, I give no ground.”
“With humility I bear the Imperialis, the symbol of loyalty unbroken.”
“With reverence I receive actuation, awakening the armor’s spirit.”
“With pride I wear the symbol of my chapter, and join my brothers in war.”
“I am iron, I am wrath, I am doom.”

And some of the chanting says
"We are sworn in service, to the angels of death"
For everyone mentioning how long the whole ritual takes, something to keep in mind is that it is not uncommon for astartes on campaign to spend a long time in their armor. Like weeks or months. They may take of parts of it, but it is designed to truly be a "second skin." Outside of their fortress-monetary and on their vessels there are probably only rare instances when an astartes is NOT armored. So they may don their armor days or weeks before actually seeing combat.
question; how do astartes clean their foreskins or are they all circumcised
@@fredmeister they all cath so it stays clean
Not only that, but the importance of the ritual is something to remember, too. It's not the real world, these guys are fighting evil aliens and literal demons.
The Machine Spirit exists. To risk angering it by not appeasing it through ceremonies like this could be disastrous, for all we know.
With this in mind, the time spent performing the ritual does not matter, as the outcome for not performing the ritual could be a death sentence.

For those who may not know, this Space Marine has 2 silver service stubs on his forehead so he has been an Astartes for over 100 years. 1 silver stub is 50 years and 1 gold stub is 100 years. Not only has he been fighting for a century, if this video takes place by the current point of the Indomitus Crusade which has only lasted for 10 years (GW retconned the original 100 years to 10), then this guy was a Firstborn Astartes (the originals) before the Indomitus Crusade, so he crossed the Rubicorn to become a Primaris which is a harrowing process even for Space Marines. This guy's a badass and he hasn't even become a Seagent yet since he has no red helmet.
Probably GW didn't even think of that...I feel like they were just puting something iconic together

@@marcusmeins1839 please do not XD in my replies
They have hastier armoring rituals when neccesary, though, the Mechanicus dislikes speedy armoring of an Astartes since they feel the armor's spirit can or will be offended. This most likely is right before arriving at major offensive, so ritual and supplication can be performed at the leisure of the Mechanicus. In a warzone or on a defensive, then they armor as quickly as possible.
That makes sense.
Yeah I buy that. Not that the Astartes don’t love their chapter rituals themselves. Just that they also know when they need to suit up and drop.
Also they can be armoured up during travel to the frontline
I'd say five minutes to put on 500 lbs of mechanical armor is pretty damn fast.
Plus, the description specifies that this is what it looks like the first time a space marine gets armored up. I imagine the first time they put on their armor is a bit heavier on ritual than say the thousandth time they put it on.
I love how these give a sense of scale. This is a single ultramarine. Just one. And you can see how amazingly huge he is, and what sort of mechanical monster he becomes to cleanse the heretic, the mutant and the alien.

"Because I'm seeing about 999 more God Emperors rushing towards our position."
Look up the Damocles Crusade. Just as hilarious is how a Tau commander saw moving mountains in the distance and was completely baffled by them. Then the Titan's energy beam powered up and he never thought again.
And then Tigersharks became a thing.
now imagine this scene with Cavill for the Live Action Series
I kind of hope Cavill wont be a space marine for the show, but rather a rogue trader or inquisitor.
Space marines dont really fit the role of a protagonist in media because the only thing they can do is war. And war is entertaining in small, short doses but unfitting for an entire show.
Also: Everyone would get pissed off because Space Marine cavill wouldnt be part of their favorite chapter.

It’s kind of twisted and ironic that 40K of all things is one of the only semi-mainstream franchises that showcases the kind of piety those of deep faith feel. It was created with the over the top satirization of the Crusades era Church yet I feel oddly represented within it.
@@ThePa1riot Everything else in modern media is drenched in a hundred layers of post-modern irony. 40K is the only franchise to step outside that liberal framework. Even if it was originally meant to be satirical, the authors who've built up the lore over decades took it in a different direction, drawing inspiration from chivalric chansons de geste and older epic poetry.
The fact that they pray over a weapon AND the ammo clip that's gonna annihilate thousands of xenos makes this so perfect.

I’ve never played it before but after watching this I want to
Funny, I came back to this trailer after being thoroughly scared and dissapointed in the trailer for the new 40k Animated Series
"how great it is to be a Warhammer fan lately".
I rather go back to the times when GW didn't shit on the fan creators and threatened them or keep them in the limbo with dishonest work offerings.
Astartes is dead, If the Emperor had a TTS is dead, we lost Sodaz, they took down the "Last Church" etc.
They scale down what they promised as their own Animations and the quality of it is "inconsistent" at best.
If you asked me, it isn't a great time lately.
That's the best advertisement for the Catholic Church I've ever seen.
So between this trailer and The Raptor. I like them both for different reasons. I guess you can say different chapters have different rituals for donning their armour. The Raptor is very straight forward his donning is attended by a single techpriest with as little ceremony as possible. Whilst the Ultramarine is attended to by a Techpriest, servitors and chapter serfs with all the grimdark pomp and ceremony befitting a First Founding Chapter.
I dont really like the raptor cause its a literal copy of the SC2 scene with Tychus, just with a marine instead. Like, the animation is ok but he could have at least done more than straight up imitate it. This scene, though, has all the grim darkness of 40k
@@hydradominatus
He's Right Raptors are a very straightforward chapter this takes too long and when deployment is a factor Pomp must make way for practicality and the Raptors are practicality incarnate amongst their founding. These guys still use appropriate camouflage.
I never thought of it like that to be honest.
The Raptor is are good trailer one artist have workt on this pure 40k short vid. Respect for his finish pieces and are complet space marine with belt and amored hips plates.
Honestly don't like either. It's well animated and all, but it's overly complicated just to be overly complicated. Like there is 0 reason to make the helmet like that.
One thing that always strikes me about 40K cinematics, particularly ones about the Imperium, is that they are always so dripping with atmosphere and distinctive visuals. You look at one frame of this video out of context and you know where you are.
It’s odd how one of THE, indeed the namer of, GRIMDARK settings can feel cozy and familiar.
any great story told in a visual medium always has amazing atmosphere, and 40K cinematics have, for the most part, always captured that amazingly well.
the setting of seeing a gigantic, gothic style hallway with skulls embedded everywhere in a decorative manner and you know exactly what universe it belongs to,
is proof 40K carved its own path.

@@dragjamon i've started delving deeper into the 40K-verse only a while back, but it's very clear from the get go, that the imperium intentionally keeps its citizens and armies as dumb and ignorant as possible, so throwing xeno skulls everywhere would be a no-go
I love how the chanting at 0:40 becomes hard for us to understand until a few seconds later the only word we hear is “ASTARTES”. I get goosebumps everytime I hear it
I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned already but for anyone wondering about the helmet being segmented (other parts of the armor included). I’m assuming that each and every piece of the armor is seen and even belied to be a sacred treasure being blessed and deified, with that being said it makes sense that it would be assembled but by bit since each piece is as important as the next. Not to mention that this is a ritual after all it’s not too far fetched to think that everything is taken to the very extreme( prayer, procedure, etc.)
or it could be that the new Primaris armor set is built differently, either because of new techs available, new needs of Primaris marines, or both.

In reality Starcraft took inspiration from many sci fi (like Robocop, Aliens Vs Predator, Starship Troopers). at times including 40K. I'll tell you it also back and fourth, the Zerg inpsired from Xenomorphs. Soon inspired modern designs of Tyranids.
The Terran Space Marines in Power Armor are based on the Starship Trooper novellization that came from the 1960s while taking designs from Astronaut suits. GW themselves have no claim on 'Space Marines' though they did try taking it as a trademark soon just distinguishing their own to 'Adeptus Astartes'
The Protoss other than their longevity compared to the Eldar are based on Grey Aliens of pop culture+predator(much like Zerg with Xenomorphs). Then they themselves inspired they inspired Tau for their extremely advance tech while making use of piloted drones in war. One of the more obvious inspiration though is the Dragoon being a Dreadnought who is a heavily damaged warrior in a heavily armed life support.
There are few things I love when watching videos from Warhammer 40K : first, that's cool. Very COOL. I'm a just a curious noob about this univers but having read some wiki about it for years, I like it. Second : both official and amateur videos are GREAT.

I feel like the people complaining about how long this is taking dont seem to understand that Astartes armor is complex to install and it does require techpriests or techmarines to do it properly to appease the machine spirit.

Except the marine has TWO long service studs in his forehead. And since a stud generally is awarded for 100 years of service, this dude has been a marine for 2 centuries. I'd say its probably a ritual that is done once in a while, for religious observance or something.

Just got into 40K. Went iron hands! Every time I finish a marine I watch this video! It’s a ritual now.
You just know that hurts like hell.
I loved how you can see just the tiniest hint of a flinch as the armour powered up.
Personally, the one detail that just made me beyond happy, is the pupil dilation right after the power pack is attached. That, for me, gave the impression that the armor is like a second skin, an extension of the body, a symbiotic relationship where one is not complete without the other... Or am I just that big of a geek?
In a way, it is. The space marine body is massive feat of bio-engineering that can take up to a decade to complete (preferred recruits are about 13 when initiated).
The body is genetically altered, enlarged and had numerous extra organs implanted. The final implant is the black carapace under the skin of the shoulders.
The armor connects with this carapace and makes it like an extension of the marines own body. Without the black carapace, you literally cannot use a space marine suit.
Oh, and during the recruits training, he also receives mental training to be able to handle the concept of controlling a 1 ton armored suit as if it is his own body.
@@scarredcoyote I kinda figured, just really appreciated that detail lol.

Did you not hear his line about weakening the machine spirit, anyone else but a space marine would have had his entire mind stolen.

The fact is we could be seeing a lot more of these films if GW didn’t have their greedy hands in every animators ability to create 40K content!
true, and the bad thing is we would probably see new animators joining and quicker release of this films, rather than gw getting those animators with slow production and release date with the same fan quality instead of like a budgeted company quality
To be clear GW didn't stop fan animation being created, they stopped the monetization of those fan animations. While that does disincentivise their creation I think something can be said for true fans making this work without needing to be payed for it. For example the seige of Vrakks animation has come out and GW has let it be (Its really good I recommend everyone check it out). All in all, if the community didn't have such a knee-jerk reaction to it we would still have all of the animators that didn't decide to go work with GW.
@@kieranbasham2678 that is wrong - Fan creations who explicity did not take any money for their projects all got removed from youtube; you are blind if you actually believe what you said

Damn, me too
I just wish we get a 2 hour long movie with quality like this :(
Imagine
It would be better than the Ultramarine’s movie we got back in 2010 and looked like it was rendered in Unreal Engine 2
It may not be 2 hours long, but check out Astartes. Some people have the whole thing uploaded as a single video. The creator was a single person doing everything by themself. Blew anything GW could ever hope to produce clear into the warp.
Getting 2 hours of this kind of quality out of GW...... It would take the Emperor himself to make them do it...
@@Captain_Razor_88 I'm actually wondering if he had anything to do with this video, because it features many of the hallmarks from Astartes; the shot framing, the attention to atmosphere, the choice and focus of the sounds...it's very Astartes.
I love all the tiny details while staying loyal to the toy models.
Love when the musics builds up into this menacing and dreary orchesta when he receives the bolt rifle
As someone who is not a regular follower,Henry Cavill got me here and I gotta say this look sick,he's gonna kill it.

@@kami_1789 The Starcraft 2 sequence was out in a teaser for the game about a year before Iron Man came out.
What they don't show you is the massive waiting room of Astartes just outside
Can’t get enough 40k cinematics. Especially ones with this quality. The amount of times I’ve rewatched the Astartes animation series is probably one too many.
The animators did a truly terrific job, these shorts are phenomenal. It's still disappointing to see that everything Space Marine (aside from HH stuff) related is ALWAYS a Primaris Ultramarine. I get that the marketing team supersedes the decisions of the creative directors but at least throw the old fans a bone and at least pretend you aren't trying to phase out the original designs, GW.
Truth! I still dislike the whole concept of the Primaris. Like, these badass legions of space Paladins we’ve known for years and understand their cultures. Now comes the Poochy Marines to drive model sales.
I’m not against capitalism, far from it. I’m against people making decisions that cost money they’re not going to make back because people LIKE what was being sold originally (remember Optimus Prime’s death?) AND break immersion at the same time.
Primaris does not exist , it is just an alternate universe that will never be canon . As for Ultrasmurfs they will one day be revealed as Alpha Legions agents and will be sent to the EoT forever .
@@ThePa1riot Eh, I'm still fine with it. Its progression of technology in world over the course of a long long time, theres pretty good in world explanations for them too, and while they are without a doubt was solely done to drive model sales, I'm personally fine with it.
Especially because I don't buy the models anyway
The things I would do to see the Ravenwing animated to this standard...
@@lukeduran12 “progression of technology” in a universe where man’s technological capabilities is regressing and not progressing? I mean that’s in the lore.
Still doesn’t make sense.
Something that always seemed like a stark contrast between the lore and the artistic depictions is how in the lore there's tens of thousands of people solely tasked with polishing and buffing various things. I guess it's hard to depict something as both worn and clean at the same time, but in a place where human labour is so cheap they manually load the shells atop starships you'd expect someone to wash the robes and mop the floors at times.
@@cembaturkemikkiran4109 not to mention anytime someone mentions 40k the word "grim" always comes to mind, it be like if your mini figures got painted but never got dry brushing.
So beautiful.
I like the idea the chest piece, the one protecting the heart and has the emblem of the Imperium is carried by hand
With pride, I wear the symbol of my chapter. And join my brothers, in war.
Goosebumps.
Greetings Michael. What a surprise to see a fellow knifemaker here. For Tanith!

_casually puts on armour with aggression_
The details of armoring is on high level no doubt. But the feeling off rough power is more in The Raptor cinematic , and u can feel that they did it with heath. U can see it in sound contrast.
"I AM THE EMPEROR'S SMURF"
Makes you wonder how awsome the other space marine chapters armor wearing rituals are. Dark Angels, Blood Angels and Imperial fists would probably have the same looking ritual as the Ultra Marines along with all their successor chapters. Space wolves, Salamanders and White Scars on the hand would be interesting. They would probably have rituals based of the cultures of their worlds. Iron hands would involve a whole installation of robotic limps while the raven guard would relatively be the same as this clip.
Dark Angels would probably have tech marines or other battle brothers armoring them, since they tend to avoid using tech priests if at all possible. Seeing a Deathwing Terminator armor up or a Ravenwing Black Knight prepare his bike would be amazing though.
the Raven Guard would be like the Raptor animation.
which makes sense consider they are both from the same linear
By the time this clown is done putting on his black carapace the White Scar is already on his jetbike.
Blood Ravens ritual and rite of passage involves stealing whatever isn't bolted down to the floor
Now that looks bloody epic
no go watch starcraft2 putting armor on a marine video they did almost 10 years ago…. really puts to shame GW
@@envynemo4170 starcraft was going to be a warhammer 40k game but something happed and became a separate franchise
@@envynemo4170 Blizzard is a gaming company that specialises in visual medium entertainment and is famed for its animated cutscenes, whereas GW is primarily a table top wargaming company - you are comparing apples and oranges. The fact that a company with no prior history in animation has been able to produce something like this from in house assets so soon after moving into a multimedia space is actually pretty impressive. It would be like Blizzard just suddenly releasing a table top wargaming version of its Starcraft or Warcraft universes that could stand alongside industry leading table top wargaming systems after only working in the area for a relatively short period of time, and using in house assets instead of subcontracting out to boot.
@@gregorygreenwood-nimmo4954 still got balls to defend GW blindly, I see. A loyal imperium citizen you are
@@ducminh7568 I have my opinion, you have yours - lets just leave it at that.
Although the StarCraft armor up scene is more glossily produced and shows so much fine detail of machinery, this is just dope and why 40k is the faaar cooler IP. The morbid techpriests and cherubs, the grafted servitor, the ritual and litany, the sense of how ancient and revered both the space marines and the technology they use is. Just gorgeously twisted and unique as opposed to the bulky version of iron man
Both settings are great, although 40k edges it out with how over-the-top it is.
Unfortunately, there has never been a Space Marine who is as cool as Tychus Findlay.
StarCraft was supposed to be a 40k game, they didnt agree on terms :) look it up. And im glad they didn't.

Starcraft 2 is cool and all, but nothing compares to the reverence an respect at how they arm the Astartes in here.
In Starcraft they make you know that is just a grunt that is a prisoner but is disposable.
Here it shows how much value an Astartes has and how importants is the armoring and the rituals, here you see a superhuman that is near unstoppable and ready for war.
Also, SC is just a copy of Warhammer 40k

All that and to be cut open by a space bug that was literally born yesterday

SERVE THE EMPEROR! NOW AND FOREVER!
Now this explains why the armor is super bulky. I always thought space marines were massive but now its because there is important segments the armor requires that make them bigger
Yet despite the bulk, Space Marines are surprisingly agile and dexterous. They wear their armor like a second skin because of the Black Carapace that interfaces their nervous system with their power armor.
The fact that a marine can run at highway speeds like a car from our time, despite wearing armour that is just over 1 ton in weight, is really mind blowing.
I wonder if they'd be able to keep up with an Eldari Harlequin in a melee fight if they didn't have to put on such heavy armour.
This is probably the most anatomically correct version of the armor I've seen. Even with the withered genitals, most of the ways it's depicted would require double shoulder joints and extra wide hips.
@@jacobstaten2366 Good point, but that's kind of the Dialed-to-11 style of Warhammer 40k in particular. Sometimes the Power Armor in the artwork is so huge you're wondering how a person even fits in there.
I think the worst example of this is Gabriel Angelos from DoW3. He's like some caricature of a gigachad wearing a tank around his bloated body.
To have big armor you need big motors so need bigger armor to protect the bigger motors.
Someone at Games Workshop finally saw the teaser trailer for StarCraft 2 and said "No, that's not metal enough."
I really do love this short. It totally encapsulates the style, gravitas, misery, and just over-the-top madness of 40k while also making it look badass. My only complaint is super pedantic, and that's the helmet unnecessarily being assembled out of various parts; why not just have the helmet be a single unit when you're gearing up, especially since Marines often take their helmets on and off?
I was asking that last part myself. Where the heck do they store the lenses, inside the top of the helmet?
Same reason all of this is being done in the first place: ceremony. There's no such thing as a necessary ritual. All rituals are extraneous by definition.
@@KillerOrca Helmets can be inconsistent in design. Feel free to ignore that.
@@KillerOrca
Well, now they do.
However, I think this is made to look like the SCII armor sequence at the end when Tychus closes the helmet.
Because it's a primaris MK X helmet. That armour is designedly to be modular and as such can be assembled in different configurations like Phobos, Tacticus and Gravis which are the same armour with different bits.
Once assembled the helm can be removed in a single piece or in different parts to keep some components on
The audio is so chillingg....
The helmet’s eyes, man
That legit gave me shivers
Without a doubt, this is the work of the guy that made Astartes. The Emperor Protects ≡][≡.
I think its different. Astartes' animator animation style is very distinct with his sharp movements for models and camera
It's definitely NOT the same guy mate. Idk what you smoked when you made this comment
I think the dude made or took part in making the background chants, since it sounded similar when the marines tried to approach the levitating magic space ball.
@@streetfighter4006 Well that guy who made Astartes now work for GW so it is possible he might have but not saying he did though.
