Hello everybody, it's LoreCrimes!
Hello everyone!
How's it going everybody?
You excited about Space Marine 2?
We are!
Yeah, I hate to say it earlier, but I'm gagging.
To play some, you know, Warhammer games are good.
You know what I mean?
There's a lot of mid, but we're ready for a good one.
We're ready for a good one.
Andy, what is the full topic of today?
It is?
Well, today we're doing basically a Space Marine 2 Lore Primer.
So we're going to do our best to talk about if you're new to the game, or if you just
need like a refresh of what happened in the previous game, even if you played it before,
we're going to talk about Titus.
We're going to talk about the events of Gryah.
We're going to talk about Tyranids and Fowls and Sons, and maybe a bit of Orcs if we have
time because they were in the first game, and Nemiroff and all the Chaos stuff.
But you know, we're just going to give you like a nice relaxing way to get into Space
Marine 2.
And you can say, ah, I'm so happy I watched these four goobers kind of just meander through
the plot of the game from what, 13 years ago?
How old is the first Space Marine?
It's not new by this point.
I think it's 2010.
No.
Oh, man.
Go, people are doing 2010.
Wow.
I can just, I can just...
That game is almost old enough to drink.
My word.
We have a, 2011.
God.
Oh, yeah.
We also, we also did get some donations before we started the stream.
So for example, Bloody Shirt Music donated not only $10.00, but also five gift memberships.
So thank you very much, Bloody Shirt Music.
And the first edition was, this donor was dedicated to the inevitable Colin whinging
about Space Marine dubs.
Now, believe it or not, in this context, I'm happy for Space Marine dubs, because this
is when I like Space Marine.
Because they're Ultramarines.
Well, one, yes, they're Ultramarines.
But also, it's when you're playing as them in a video game and you get to be the cool,
you know, kick-ass guy, not watching everyone you like get bodied by Cato Sicarius.
Yeah.
Well, there's a difference.
Would you like to, would you like to read out the next one, Colin?
Let's see if we got.
Oh, I'd be excited.
Hey, Parker, someone, thank you for the 10.
Colin, I've recently started listening to the Gottrick and Felix books.
Hell yeah.
But I noticed that Gottrick has his own AOS solo books.
I was wondering if they're worth it or not.
I would say yes.
I'm still listening to the first one now.
I kind of sidetracked myself reading some other books.
But I mean, they're still enjoyable.
It shows up, does this thing, murders things.
It's if you like Gottrick and Felix, there's no more Felix, which hurts, but they're still
enjoyable reads.
Some of the other characters are cool.
You know, it's I'd say yeah.
The one with the IGNF Deacon, which is the underwater elves and AOS.
They were particular.
I read the AOS Gottrick one is that's a particular good one.
But you need to read the other ones to get all the context.
He sees a he sees a temple of Teclis and just immediately goes, well, I know where the world
went wrong.
Very funny.
But speaking of something just before we get into the juicy lore, though, we do have the
previous question of the week, which is like a quick little segment.
If people are new, we're going to just talk about a question that we asked last week,
which was our one fantasy related one, which was about basically you get to invent a spell.
You get to hashtag cast.
And my god, did people deliver some strange comments?
Only a few here got by at random sub 7318.
He said, hashtag cast itchy bones.
Oh, yeah, awful.
Itchy bones.
That was a hell of a that's a hell of a catchphrase one there.
The next one was by at Romulus 753.
They said, I cast testicular or reliable that one only works on 50 percent of the population,
but on that 50 percent, by God, does it work?
Given the old twist.
Dick to it.
Hopefully not.
Which would be worse, though, like torsion is quite sudden and painful, but then itchy
bones.
You it's like you can't even like scratch the itch because it's in your skin.
I feel like that would be a long drawn out.
I think I like that.
I think they're both different, awful pains of equal value.
I don't know.
I do.
I do kind of agree.
Itchy bone.
How long does the itchy bones last?
Is this thing is this like D and D where it's like a minute long?
Oh, put it this way.
Have you ever had an issue?
You've never scratched and you've just left it.
Well, I get it.
Andy, I chewed a hole in my hand because my hand was itching really bad once.
Good point.
I remember you saying an office stream.
Yeah.
So that's why I think it'd be worse.
It'd be like a skaven with like a block of cheese like he can't help himself.
He's going to.
What was your one?
The next one was by at angry homunculus regular the channel.
Thank you, brother.
He says the spell I would cast would be one that automatically perfectly mixes this adult
paints with all the rest.
Impossible.
Bro, I can't explain how like when people say like, oh, it's airbrush paint is ready
to go straight in the airbrush.
They lion.
They start up lying.
It needs a thinner some beginning pain.
That really, that really hurt me that one.
By that's one of that a sorry at capoodle.
He said I would cost is to sleep.
So I instantly fall asleep and the one skaven that is running my brain gets the rest he
deserves.
I can be on board with it.
Thank you, brother.
Nice.
And the last one was by at slithy two nine one.
They said hashtag cost the spell to bring back the spell to bring back Bretonnia just
to get just get blown up again.
Oh, never mind.
That smells good.
I was with you.
I was with you for a second.
It's a good spell.
I like it.
Happy in the first half.
Hashtag old world there.
And I'll say, oh, sorry.
I was like, can we get a shout out to what DJ B said about how like five minutes ago
said now and this is a real one.
He said something along the lines of you look like a divorced dad barely trying to keep
it together.
Wow.
I'm not married.
Dad.
Wow.
Okay.
Damn.
Appreciate that.
Thank you.
Thanks.
The channel appreciate that online bullying and the next question of the week.
Broise is pretty pretty on topic.
It's hashtag DLC.
You get to write the story of a Titus DLC.
What happens?
So an example would probably be inevitably black Templar furry conundrum.
I'm sure anyone else has any ideas for their glorious Titus DLC.
Andy.
I got one.
It's it's called the tale of Talasar and it's Titus and Cato cigar, sicarius have like a
buddy cop mission where they hunt down Leandro's just like, and they bicker and argue about
who's a better captain of the second company because they're no longer both the captain
of that company.
And they're like, I didn't get a choice of being supposed to.
Yeah.
Well, I, my dad loves me.
And then they're like, Leandro's and then they start shooting him and it'd be good.
Everyone buy it.
Eli or Colin.
I want to put put Malam Cato in it.
He's he's really going to finish with Capitano started.
Yeah.
The thing is, he'd be so overpowered.
Surely he'd be like all the classes combined.
He's got like invincibility.
It's like, oh, he's a bit.
Yeah, but it'd be fun.
It would be fun.
I think that's hashtag DLC for all the brothers listening.
And for all those who have sort of come here to explore what is Space Marine 2, this will
be a sort of even if you're kind of already know stuff about Warhammer, this is more of
a what to expect within the game as well, but also a little bit of lore refresh just
in case some of you are like, oh, I didn't actually wasn't aware that that actually was
going to feature in the game.
And we'll talk a little bit about some gameplay and some cool things to do with tabletop and
how they've done all that good stuff.
You know, focus entertainment.
I don't know.
Good job so far, but this is at time recording just before release and will hopefully be
streaming it.
We'll be streaming it live so people can come see us immediately.
Trash on a start is anonymous because we are better than them.
Yes.
We're going to stop.
Accepted properly recording, in which case me and Eli are.
Also, did you mess something up?
I showed up late and Tom wasn't able to say.
War crimes trolling continues.
I said trolling, I just did.
And for everyone who is donating during the live stream, we will be reading it out at
certain intervals, but thank you so much for everyone who has donated so far and we will
be getting to that.
Now, Andy, let's get to the goodness.
Space Marine 2, what do we need before we start Space Marine 2?
I think it would make sense that we start talking about the protagonist, if you will,
of Space Marine 2, which is an ultramarine by the name of Demetrian Titus.
So Demetrian was born on an agri world called Terentus about 80 years before the first tyrannic
war and the Battle of Macragge.
He was the only child of a humble ultramar family.
He went through the ranks to become a member of the 10th Company.
A lot of his tutors were like, oh, he's quite angry and aggressive.
He's like typical angsty teenager, just like, I'm just going to punch something.
Little would he know that that would serve him quite well in future life.
But as a full battle brother of the ultramarines chapter, he was in a fight against chaos.
I think it was the Thousand Sons originally, but I'm not entirely sure.
He gets injured by a chaos sorcerer and he's like the only survivor of his squad.
It's like that trope, like Mass Effect, Captain Shepard, he was attacked by a fresher maw
and he was the only guy to survive.
He was like, yes, that trope where everyone died, but he didn't die.
And for some reason, he's really good at resisting chaos and sorcery.
It's not explained in the first game.
It might be in the second game.
We don't know.
It's a mystery right now.
But what does the edge of tomorrow come out?
The only Tom Cruise and that's like a similar thing of like the protagonist in 2014.
Oh, so they stole the idea from years ago.
Okay.
They stole the idea.
Tom Cruise is playing Space Green 1.
Hang on a minute.
Yeah.
Shout out to how good is that film, by the way?
Just like random.
I've never seen it.
I've not seen it.
It's all right.
But they botched the marketing so it performed poorly.
Shouldn't they change the name of it?
It was called something else.
Yeah.
Well, there's like a D-Day landing and then Tom Cruise is the only one to survive.
So it's a similar vibe.
Really not at all.
Sorry.
Really unrelated, but it was just really good.
Well, basically because of the fact that Titus is resistant to chaos, ever since his early
years, the ultramarines don't really like, they trust him, but they don't really.
They're like, you're weird.
That's not Codex compliant.
What's going on here?
Book.
But for 175 years, he would continue to be a good boy.
He would fight in the name of Ultramar and Gilliman.
He had a very decisive nature.
He was skilled in battle.
He gets promoted to a sergeant of the second company, which is like objectively the best
company somehow.
Like it's not the first company.
Second company, they've got gold pauldrons.
This is where you get you guys like Cato Sicarius.
All the box art for every ultramarine piece of art or book anywhere is always gold on
blue.
These are like, unless you're real ventris, but he doesn't count.
So like these are like, do we have any green twim on blue?
Do we have any gameplay for later as well?
Oh, I'm silly.
Yeah.
I thought we have something as well.
I spent so much time like making this up and I got distracted because I had to do stuff.
Bear with me a moment.
Law Crimes, stock footage.
There we go.
I am very well planned.
There we go.
And then we can present it.
So you've got something to watch.
It's a good thing you're here, Hal.
I tried to remember.
I thought like I'm something is missing.
There we go.
And then we can go in full screen.
There we go.
Lovely.
Fantastic.
I know what I'm doing.
So yeah, basically he becomes a sergeant of the second company, everyone's favorite company,
Post Boys, the series.
He meets a guy called veteran sergeant Sedonis, who is the best character in Space Marine
1.
He's a grizzled veteran.
He's got like the gray hair and the beard and he talks like this and he goes, I don't
like orcs.
They smell.
My favorite line of the first game was you're dropping down in the intro and he's just like,
oh, they've taken the gun back.
He's just like, hmm, clever of the damned orcs.
Yeah, I like Sedonis.
So he kind of takes him under his wing, makes him a bit more tempered, a bit less aggressive.
And over time, he gets quite a reputation in the second company as like a good soldier.
Over time, he serves under the current first captain of the ultramarines, Severus Agaman.
He's the guy who's in charge of now the first company.
He's the guy on the Leviathan box art, don't at me, that's definitely Agaman.
He's even got the same shield.
It's definitely him who's now also the regent of Ultramar.
So for a while he serves under Agaman.
He's now like the first captain.
So he knows what he's doing.
And for a while this is all well and good, but eventually something called the First
Tyrannic War happens and...
A small unfortunate incident in the Imperium's history.
Yeah.
A galactic oops, someone might say.
Yeah, it's like there was a first company and then after the Battle of Macragge, there
wasn't the first company no more.
Where'd they go?
Oh no.
We should preface the loss of a first company for a space marine chapter.
That's the veteran of the veterans, best equipment, best soldiers, veteran, that's like the cream
of the crop and that is a...
It's like if you had an NBA Hall of Famers team and it's like, oh no, we've lost Michael
Jordan, everyone, oh no, the best of the best are gone and we had them all in one place.
It's the US Olympic basketball team and they're all out of action.
It's like we're screwed.
But yeah, it's the case of Battle of Macragge, all the first company dies and Marneas Calgar
survives and he's like, right, we kind of need to have a first company even though they're
not the poster boys, they've got the white poltergeist trim.
No one actually cares about them prior to 10th edition, which is weird.
But he says, okay, Agaman, you're really good in fighting and stuff.
You're now the first captain.
He's like, all right, I guess.
So he goes off to the first company.
The second company is then taken up by the then Sergeant Lucien Tejan, I believe it is.
Let me just double check my notes.
I should mention also I am doing a Titus Lore video on Sunday, so check that out if you'd
like to.
Yeah, Trajan.
So he becomes the captain.
Captain Trajan is now in charge of the second company and Titus is now a sergeant.
He's still fighting with Sergeant Sedonis and they start driving the Tyranids of Highfleet
Behamoth from Macragge.
Titus leads a bunch of kill teams to kill all the Tyranids, which is also why he's so
good at killing Tyranids because he was there during the First Tyrannic War.
And after the Tyranids are driven from Macragge, he's then sent to combat the Eldarii craft
world of Bealtan.
And naturally, yeah, you can't be a good ultramarine without slaughtering a few elves, so it's
fine.
So Captain Trajan goes and attacks the Assyriani Autarck and kills him.
Cool.
And Titus is fighting the his demicompany and him are fighting a bunch of the Autarck's
guardians and Titus kills three of them with a chainsword.
But the Eldar aren't going to take an L lying down, contrary to how they usually do things.
So they go, I've got a really good idea.
We're going to retreat, but we're going to capture one space marine from the second company.
Do we want to hazard a guess who the space marine was?
I don't suppose it's Cato Sicarius.
Try again.
Go on.
Sedonis?
No.
Titus?
So he captures a space marine by the name of Leandros, the plot sickens.
So they capture this space marine as bait.
And then Captain Trajan goes, right, Titus, you lead the demicompany.
I'm going to go try and rescue Leandros.
Trajan gets killed by the Eldar and then Titus goes like Super Saiyan and kills the Eldar
and rescues Leandros.
So he takes Trajan's body to McCragg.
He also gets Leandros taken to a medical facility because we all make mistakes.
And basically, he drives the Eldar from Beta Arcturus, which is where this fight was.
And when he gets back to McCragg, Marneus Calgo is like, ah, it's a shame about Captain
Trajan.
He was a good boy.
Do you want to be captain?
It's like, I didn't really ever want to be a captain.
I like being a sergeant, but I guess if I have to.
So now we've got Captain Titus, second company captain, the predecessor of Cato Sicaris.
So what's the shoulder cut color on the trim on the shoulder pads for second company?
Gold.
Ah, the classic boy is a classic.
Yeah, the poster boys of the setting are always second company.
So I'm seeing even like the space marine 2 gameplay here.
I hope it's possible to possibly just isolate trim out as well.
I think it is.
Yeah, because I've seen some of the customizing.
There's some there's some wacky.
Do you see like the the first set of extra chapters of being like we're going to put
the sons of Antaeus and the void tridents like the void tridents?
I don't mind.
But what?
Okay.
That's right.
It's a quick choice.
Bloody shut me.
It just donated to us dollars to say how say a slug.
Speaking of donations, I've no okay.
You say a lot.
Wow.
I'm going to go from the top.
So I'll put them on.
You can read them out.
There we go.
This one's from my long classic bond is mighty schlong of sickness.
The best name ever.
Is there a law reason why Titus can kill a demon prince with his bare hands?
Did Matt Ward consult first?
Colin, I thought you know, does Matt Ward consult on?
I don't.
Oh, he did.
I think he did some stuff with dark tide.
I know he did some stuff with vermin tide.
I don't know if he was involved in Space Marine one though.
Possibly.
Well, it's a game.
I think it does.
As a game.
It definitely had like you're just overpowered enemy.
I think even from the gameplay, like the idea of like a squad of just normal alterings attacking
thousands of yours or that many turn into that many orcs is a little mouth.
You have to have a horde enemy type.
Yeah.
Inclaim backup with the 15 squigglies.
Sorry.
Don't know your current.
That's not to be mentioned.
Absolute crime in brackets.
Maybe even a law crime.
Orcs won't be in the new game.
Boy and Goblin Grim Skull were robbed.
Childly boy and gob father of all squigs who will not make an appearance in Space Marine
two, which is, you know, where's my boy and gob boss fight?
Uh, blusher music.
I don't care.
The five, five bucks as airbrushed.
It's still is good to go with a decent brush.
Okay.
I'm going to brush it.
Uh, Caleb Collins, not the regular.
Thank you.
He says, elf sim forgot to cost making bed.
The bed is not made.
It's okay.
Oh, it's okay.
It's okay.
Collins.
I'm upset.
Um, earlier, fuck you.
Uh, I miss your Joe five boxes.
I missed the question of the week, but I would cast.
I would.
I cast Skaven Lord, Mr. How rap.
But escaping the allegations.
Hey, Mr. Meal of again, uh, for the Bulgarian, I believe that is two says, it must be a hand
chewing flesh.
You need to marker.
Thank you.
Truly.
Oh yeah.
They come back up again.
Uh, hashtag DLC Titus rise.
Boy and go.
I will understand the Leandro's hate later.
If we, when we go over it though, the address has been set up now.
You'll understand.
Uh, bullshit music, TITUS DLC, Titus goes through half life one.
Um, maybe he goes hard.
There's a cast residence cascade.
Thank you.
Thank you for the donation.
So I was doing right up my box as Titus takes off his master reveal.
He was Gabriel and Raven stole another.
Angela's love.
It's cool.
It's in the Boreal of um, in a dawn of war games, torn Tom Warren for the five bucks.
I've literally never heard Titus's first name before.
I also hadn't heard it before you said it handy.
You know, that reminds me of, I did a video on Angron and they're like, he has another
names like yes.
Angron Falke.
That's his second name.
No, his name is Angra.
His name is Angronius.
Technically.
I don't like that.
Another one from our gentleman, Mr. Meehl of, uh, for the Bulgarian five something, uh,
Tom Cruise and while the steal from 40 K there's been five minutes with his daughter.
Yeah.
I like that one.
That's pretty funny.
I like this.
Thank you for the comment as well.
I say, yeah, he says edge of tomorrow was based on a Japanese light novel called all
you need is ill.
Huh?
Truly.
We be is in the original.
I mean, isn't it how Star Wars is basically, um, Japanese.
Uh, like, Oh, who's the director of the Japanese director, Kira or a, that's a good one.
Uh, sun killer just came a member.
Thank you brother for joining the channel.
Thank you very much.
Welcome to show that very much.
Blows out music again.
Performance.
What was that?
Thank you so much.
By the shirt music.
He says, go watch civies 11 game play breakdown of bolt gun for a good law.
Civilization and Sid Myer needs to get, okay.
And again, versus this house as slur, um, clankers.
How dare you?
You can say clanker.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
Um, relic word was CS shadow goto.
Who is that?
She is go to the man.
He's an author.
The elder book where it's a stick.
Oh, I like there was some, some genuine disdain in the way you said that you like, Oh, not
him.
Uh, that was good.
Thank you so much for the donations brothers.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Uh, and you may continue.
Okay.
So we've already learned that there's another reason to hate the Andros cause he got the
form of second captain killed cause he's an idiot got captured by elder of all people.
Anyway, with, uh, with Titus is promotion to the rank of captain.
He struggled to, uh, live up to the burden.
He always, he, this is a thing you see a lot in like warhammer 40 K space Marine stories.
Someone gets promoted and they go, I'm not good enough.
It's like, believe in yourself.
Do a Naruto moment.
It's fine.
You're a space Marine.
Gosh darn it.
Um, but nevertheless, captain Agaman and Marnia's Calgar for all the years he was captain said,
he's brilliant.
He's like everything.
An ultra Marine should be.
He's brilliant.
Shut up, Kato.
He's really good.
He's the captain.
Shush.
He's the guy.
He is the ultra Marine.
And so having the first captain and chapter master say that you're the best is pretty,
pretty good.
And for about 150 years, he's been fighting at this time.
He fights with Leandro's and Sedona's by his side for many years.
And every time they go into battle, it's victory, victory, victory, victory, Royale, no contest.
But eventually his fortunes would change with the events of space Marine one, where he went
to the world of Gryre, the forge world of Gryre.
So Demetrian has been a captain now for 10 years.
And despite the fact that he is a captain, he doesn't like to sit in the back.
He likes to get right in it.
You can probably see here.
He likes to get in the thick and gory parts of battle.
He doesn't want to be standing in the back watching his men do the dirty work.
He's like, no, let me rip its jugular out.
This is fun.
And so basically they go to this work, they get a transmission from Gryre saying, hey,
guys, we've got a bit of an orc infestation, helpless.
And then there's like this really cool, I love the intro cinematic where it's like,
warlord titan, strategic absolute, exterminate artist, question mark, no, strategic absolute.
Strategic value absolute.
Exactly.
And it's basically this case of the planet has warlord titans, which are the biggest
other than empricot that doesn't count.
But like, practically speaking, the biggest type of titan is on Gryre.
And the mechanicus are like, I don't want an orc touching my big robot boy and turning
it into a fucking gargant.
So they were like, okay, can we can we nuke the planet?
No.
Can we get a liberation fleet?
And they go, um, ultramarines?
And they go, yeah.
Three dudes.
And three is enough.
So at this point...
There were real bad dudes, though.
Well, Gryre at this point has a million orcs on it.
Free space marines is enough.
So they sneak through, they get onto the planet.
And this is where we start to hate Leandros because he's a nerdy, not like a nerd.
He's just like, what would be the way to describe it?
The guy who's like, you have to do this.
The codex has started to not support this action.
Yeah.
Not like nerds in, oh, he likes warhammer.
Like nerds in...
You painted it wrong.
He's a by the books to the extreme.
Yeah.
And it's like, yeah, so basically, they're not supposed to jump out of drop ships with
jump packs and look like badasses because it's not safe.
Sometimes basically, Titus says to Leandros, don't be such a nerd.
Sometimes you got to like...
He makes a quiz like, try to keep up.
Like, oh, he's so cool.
He was voiced by Mark Strong in the first game.
That's a shame.
We don't have anymore.
We get Rollo from Vikings.
That's okay.
It's fine.
So basically, the ultraman is pretty good.
The objective is get the warlord Titan.
They get on the planet and they meet up with the Cadian 203rd regiment of the Imperial
Guard, the Astra Militarum, and they meet a special lady, a lady called Lieutenant...
Second Lieutenant Mira.
And Mira is there with...
He's very attractive.
As an instance, there's this second time in a space marine like, law part where it kind
of looks like it might blur the line a little bit.
This is the Ragnar Blackmane space wolf book where he literally is attracted to a female
as a space marine, which is an old book.
This is a space wolf thing though.
Yeah, space was a weird...
Lucas the Trickster is making babies out in freaking Fenregion waste, bro.
And R. Jack Rockfist, the humongous guy, he had a wife and kids and he became a space
marine after being an adult.
How?
Space wolves.
Space wolves just get everything, bro.
Myod, it's fine.
So basically, Mira goes, thanks for dropping in, lads.
Unfortunately, there's this massive gun that's kind of stopping us from getting reinforcements.
We need to get rid of this, otherwise we're screwed.
So Titus just goes, no problem.
They storm in, they kill all the orcs.
There's that great scene where he pushes this enormous like, what would you call it?
Shell?
Oh yeah.
The gigantic building size ammunition just with his hands.
This is on tracks and he's just pushing it with his bare hands like, this is fine.
And they blow up the gun.
Yeah, it's fine.
Ultramarines.
It's fine, innit?
And they blow up the big gun.
Mira's like, oh, he's so attractive and capable.
Husband material.
I mean, thanks, Captain Titus.
We really appreciate your help.
Now we're not gonna die in droves as much.
Cool.
So you should go over here where you will find your warlord titan.
They go to the place and then a servo skull is like gooning on some, you know, corpses.
I don't know.
It's just scanning them going, oh, like this.
Nothing.
And then they go like, that's weird.
What's this servo skull doing here?
And a guy called Inquisitor Drogon goes, hey guys, ignore what you're doing.
You should come and help me with my thing.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Don't worry about it.
They go in the facility, they meet Drogon.
Drogon says, hey, I'm working on this experimental, like, weird stuff using warp technology.
I promise it's not heresy.
I'm not shifty at all.
But just so you know, if we get this power source made of like warp stuff, we could fire
this gigantic laser beam weapon I have and kill all the orcs.
Sound like a plan?
And Titus is kind of like, hmm.
Okay.
Even though Sedona's going, I don't like the Inquisition.
They're all a bunch of bastards.
Like calm down Sedona's.
And the Andras is going, the Codex of Starters does not support using the warps.
I shut up nerd.
Okay.
We'll shoot the big laser beam to kill all the orcs.
They get the power source.
Occasionally he bumps into this orc called Grim Skull, who's the guy in charge of the
orc forces.
Who's also a legend because the way he says, Spice Marines.
He's a cool orc.
Spice Marines, give me back my gun.
And they basically ignore for now the Titan and they get the power source.
They go to the big Avengers first movie, Laser in the Sky, doomsday device.
They plug in the thing, which is also in Bolt Gun.
It's a sequel to the first game.
They plug in the power source.
They shoot the big purple laser beam.
And funnily enough, it doesn't kill all the orcs, technically.
It just summons a load of demons to kill the orcs.
Which isn't exactly what Drogon said, but it's kind of like, oh, technically they'll
kill the orcs.
If you give them enough time, they will kill the orcs.
They make pretty short work of them, to be honest.
Like a few minutes, like all the orcs are almost dead, like, wow.
Literally, he's asking, you know, like, if you do a spell and you have to be really,
really specific.
Whereas someone's like, make my downstairs bigger, but then it makes it really wide.
Whoops.
Whoopsie daisy.
And yeah, so basically now there's a demon problem on Gryre, which is not great because
orcs are a pain, but I dare say that like a lot of the time, demons are a worse problem.
And it's not just like, oh, there's one portal with a bunch of coordinate demons spelling
out.
It's like cultists are being like insta spawned all over the planet.
There's a bunch of chaos space marines waltzing around, swinging their dicks around like,
I'm a chaos space marine.
Ha ha ha ha.
And they're all serving this one guy called Nemiroff and they're called the sons of Nemiroff,
I believe it is.
It's a war band.
It is.
Nemiroff is all there like, I'm the villain of the week.
I want the power source in order to become a demon prince.
Look at my wings, bro.
They'll be so wicked.
And you're like, oh, that's no good.
Kill him.
He's cringe.
So Sedonis and Leandro is still alive.
They're going to work with Titus and go, I don't like the Inquisition.
Shut up Sedonis.
It's fine.
We'll kill them later.
And now we've got to deal like the orcs are not very enjoyable plot summary.
Yeah.
And then basically, on initially finding Nemiroff, he starts doing the wibbly wibblies with his
hand and going force push telekinesis.
And then he starts to force touches Titus and he goes and he makes a really like, ah,
noise.
Like, don't do that.
And he touches Titus with his force hand.
He goes, you're resistant to my touch.
Like bad touch, bad touch.
I had to take my strong hand or something like that.
Take my march strong hand.
Yes.
And then basically he goes, you're kind of resistant to the touch.
That's weird.
Luckily, before he can kill the ultramarines Grimmskull charges in and goes, and he like
rugby tackles him, which is really like fun to watch.
Like these two gigantic dudes, because like Nemiroff's in Terminator armor with the big
horns.
And then there's this massive orc and they're just having like a wrestling match.
Um, saves, technically saves Titus, Titus is life doing so.
And then eventually, we're not going to go like, and then he went to this objective and
this objective is like, no, no.
Eventually Titus catches up with Grimmskull caps him in the head with a plasma pistol.
You were fun, but orcs bad.
And then wasn't finished with him, but he was finished with the Grimmskull.
Yeah.
It's a pretty, pretty great line.
It's just like, I finished with you spice Marine, but I'm finished with you.
Um, humor in sport hammer is an absolute gem.
I know it won't be really in space.
Space ring two has a much more of a, a grittier tone taken to it.
Um, but space ring one was definitely like, they're like highlights of like funny moments
and ridiculously over the top power.
I mean, even in space ring two gameplay, we can kind of see like, it'd be like a power
fancy.
I just love the way he, again, when, when he appears against Nemirov at first, he's
just like, he gets pushed away and he falls down a hole and then emmer off does his old
villain speech.
And then he just goes, ah, and he goes, I ain't so easy to kill has a giggle and then
runs at him.
You're like, I needed that to diffuse this evil plot monologue.
This was great.
Um, so then the ultra means a lot.
Okay.
Uh, mirror, you got any plans?
And she's like, maybe you could use that massive warlord Titan to shoot the big like portal
because good idea as any.
So they go to the warlord Titan, uh, they shoot its big gun at the big portal and they
close it.
But now the, the spire they've shot at is still kind of like the spy is blown up, but
there's so much warp energy.
It's all like floating in midair and it looks all like a final boss area.
And they're like, ah, that's still pretty bad.
Okay.
Um, we'll go there and we'll kill Nemirov.
Leandro starts whinging and going, you've been touched by chaos.
You shouldn't be carrying the power source.
You're maybe evil.
And then Sedonis goes, all right, wet wipe.
I'll carry the power source if that makes you feel better.
So he does that.
Uh, and then, and then you get to the end of the game and Sedonis gets killed by Nemirov.
His fingers in his belly and lifts him up.
It's sad.
That is what happened.
I'm going to cheer people up.
A shout to, it's not a donation, but thank you from the comment from thank all who says,
this is a reminder of, this is Hal's reminder of his favorite piece of earth media in quotations,
farting on my roommate's door.
That is an old call out.
For six months straight, I had, we had to hear Hal reference farting on my roommate's
door every week.
My God, well truly, Ted is about to fart on Nemirov's door.
Well, there's, there's a sad scene now where, um, Nemirov takes the power source off Sedonis
because he was carrying it.
Banks Leandros, you idiot.
And then, um, as if it's not bad enough, like Titus is putting Sedonis to rest and Leandros
is going, me, me, me, me, me, look what you did.
He's like, shut up and even near is like, if I were not like several feet shorter than
you and not wearing like all this armor, I'd probably smack you, but I can't reach.
And in typical badass fashion, Titus kind of, he says it in so many words.
He basically goes like, all right, baby, I'll sort it out myself.
Give me a thunder hammer.
I'll sort it out myself.
Get out the way.
So he gets like a thunder hammer, boards a drop ship and he goes for the big floating
spire in the sky and he just kind of like smashes his way up to the top until eventually he
spots Nemirov and luckily, uh, we get some help from the blood Ravens on the way they
turn up and they're all like, video game protagonist.
We are also video game protagonists.
We came to lend a hand.
You're like, thanks blood Ravens.
Don't touch any of my stuff.
And you get through, he gets the Nemirov.
Nemirov is all like, I'm making noises that could be misconstrued as sexual grunting while
absorbing the facts.
Like, please stop grunting.
Never get away from this door.
It stinks.
Putting me off, putting me off.
And there's too many limbs coming out of you for this to be okay.
And Nemirov starts changing and he goes, how about we have a generic final boss where you
fight like waves of enemies rather than me.
And Titus goes, okay.
It kills all the coordinate demons, space Marine, chaos, space Marines, blah, blah,
blah.
And then he just like volts, uh, Nemirov off the peak of the tower.
And then you, um, you quick time event pulverize his face in and then he dies.
There's like a great bit where Titus grabs Nemirov's head with both hands.
You see his eyes fold out and he just goes squish.
And it's like, that's pretty cool.
I wish it wasn't just like a quick time event.
Oh well.
Um, and then he grabs the power source.
He snaps it in half because he's Chad.
There's big explosion drop ship comes in, picks him up.
And then he ended the game.
He's there clutching aside going, Oh, Oh, I'm hungry.
That hurts.
And then Leandro's is there.
Mirrors there.
Mirrors all like, Oh, you did great, babe.
Here's my number.
Great.
And then spoiling the moment yet again, Leandro's is there with a bunch of black Templars and
an Inquisitor.
And you're like, that's weird.
I don't remember them fighting with me.
It was the blood rangel, uh, blood rangel's blood Ravens that were helping the rangel's.
Yeah, exactly.
They're ranger angels.
Um, and then Frax is all like, ah, this guy's edgy, right?
And Leandro's like, he doesn't follow the code X start.
He's my dad, right?
That, Oh, and then the inquisitor is like only sanctioned edge Lords can be space Marines.
I don't like it.
The inquisitor was kind of on his side at first.
He's like, are you sure there was chaos?
You sure?
Well, well, you say that, um, he takes him away and he's like, by the way, I'm just going
to like, I'm just gonna like make sure you're pure of heart.
You probably don't know this last bit of law.
Frax has a bit of a chip on his shoulder.
It's not explained if this is because he lived through the events or if he just studied them.
He was a bit of a studier of the badad war.
So he really doesn't like space Marines.
Cause he thinks, Oh, remember here on black heart, he's a bit of a problem.
I don't trust space Marines.
Let's torture this one specifically for like a good like a hundred years.
Ah, so basically he puts him in like stasis.
No, he puts him in stasis and he routinely takes him out to like torture him and be like,
ah, are you evil?
I'm still not evil.
Ah, we sure.
Manius Calgar and the inquisition are sending frax messages regularly.
Like can he be returned?
Please.
This is redic, please send him home.
And he doesn't during this time, Kato Succarius is installed as the second company captain
because Titus isn't around.
So and they're also a bit like he's been gone like a while.
I guess Kato will do.
And he goes, yay, I'm Kato Succarius.
I'm the captain now.
Shut up, Kato.
And for a while, this is this is this is Titus's fate.
Prior to the events of Space Marine 2, the last thing we know about Titus is he's been
imprisoned for a long time.
Rax goes to try and kill the gray hunters.
I think it is.
It's like a it's one of those chapters who goes renegade and has no logo and has like
10 seconds of law.
One of those guys, he goes to kill those renegades space means he gets possessed by a demon because
he's a hypocrite and the gray knights put him down.
And then as the red hunters are going through his things, they're like, I inquisitor, what's
this guy doing here?
And Titus is in stasis.
And she's like the inquisitor in charge.
She's like, we have enough paperwork.
Let's send him back to the ultramarines.
This is getting ridiculous or rather.
And so she lets him go.
And that Space Marine one law, Cytus, he's a good boy.
And people don't like him because he has a good talent for being a good boy and resisting
chaos.
Any thoughts on Titus?
Truly an ultramarine.
There's a lot of Space Marine chapters in all that.
A lot.
Most of them probably not important.
There is like it does show variation.
There's a bit too many ultramarine characters that are like completely codex, you know,
well, for people who are referencing, it's the Space Marine handbook.
A lot of their Primarch wrote it, so the ultramarines are known to be the most adherent possibly
of all chapters.
So it's nice to have a Marine who's a little bit as Calgar had to work out in the Tyranic
War.
You ought to think outside the box a few times.
You know, you've got to use your brain, not your heart, not your memory.
Speaking of people who use their heart for all the people who have donated again in the
second round, Andy, so any?
Thank you very much, everyone.
Eli, would you mind reading out a grouping of these?
Bloody Sharp Music gave five lower crimes memberships.
Thank you very much.
Billions must become lower criminals.
Donkeyman USA, thank you for the $2.
Now I'd win from Titus.
Caleb Collins, thank you for the $5.
Andy could play Count Dunkula and get arrested forever.
A joke as a face reveal would prob-hail his career.
I'm reading this poorly, would probably ruin his career.
I'd give him street cred, be a true criminal too.
Yeah, get any arrested during his face reveal and give him street cred.
I mean, we were saying about the dream face reveal.
I was like, maybe I could do it like that.
And he's like, hi.
Just like, no, no, bad example.
Oh, Mandy.
I take all my YouTube advice from Minecraft YouTubers.
Donkeyman USA, $5.
OK, anyways.
Sorry to shagger.
But the Fume Ultra Greatsword stays on during sex.
Is this an Elden Ring reference?
No, that's from Dark Souls 2.
Same thing.
The Fume 90.
Yeah.
Thank you, Caleb Collins, $2.
It's fine to touch cast like Biggie, not it touch you.
So true.
Dante, thank you for the CLP.
Thank you.
Lieutenant Myra, best waifu.
There's Andy's new, Andy's Andy simping today, not Colin.
There's a big crowd division between Mira and Latares in Sorin.
Mira.
Latares too, like, she's got bad vibes, I'm just saying.
She's kind of fused to the ship.
She shot a Walled Eater in the face.
She's kind of icky now.
She's like, globulized into the Conqueror.
No, thank you, date night's going to be nice.
That's a fun word, globulized.
I was going to charge the person who made a comment earlier saying,
I'm into Warhammer, also I'm gay.
This is the greatest Warhammer fan.
Nice.
Is this a fact?
The argument is saving you with $2, Warhammer movie,
but it's directed by Tommy Wiseau.
I would pay to see that.
Please.
I'm just seeing the cut.
I'm the Joker.
Oh.
Oh, hi, Titus.
I did not deny the codex.
I did not.
Hi, Kaleeman.
Thank you.
GONK152 for the $5.
GONKDROID.
Nice.
Nice job, Titus.
You really were the space marine one.
That's my favorite line from the game.
Caleb Collins, $2.
Thank you.
Best Mary Sue in 40K, SAO stream when?
Collins has been begging.
He has been.
We'll do the SAO.
We'll do a full run for all season, even the movies.
I yearn for the day.
God frees me of this curse.
Best Mary Sue, I mean, I feel like everyone
would say Cato Sicarii's.
I love him.
Who is actually not lost?
Calgar.
I guess.
Calgar?
Cato's back.
Trying to think.
Yeah, it's difficult.
It's an ultramarine character for sure,
but maybe Titus, to be fair, Titus doesn't lose.
He just kind of gets put on pause.
Any space marine in a space marine book, basically.
Yeah, but this is a game, so it's cooler.
Yeah.
Tom Warren, maybe for the $2.
Unlike Colin Andy Sims for the right people.
Here it is, man.
Consider this.
Fuck you.
To BGN, we got a shout out for Colin.
Colin, give us your best Dracula flow impression.
I don't.
I've never seen Dracula flow, I got to be honest.
I don't know what it is.
Is this the new Skibity toilet?
No, the Dracula flow is old.
It's not Skibity.
When you say old, is it like pre, is it 2020?
No, it's old.
It might be from the 80s.
OK, thank god.
Retro, they call it.
Thank, well, please.
Thank, well, it's been posting some maniacal stuff in the chat.
It's not from the 80s.
They're videos, apparently, on YouTube.
How could you get contribute?
OK, keep going.
That's on the Patreon.
Diabolical.
Thank you for the $5.
Sorry to put this late.
Leandroce is a pedantic rules lawyer with a steroid problem.
That's a good way to put it.
And now return to your crimes.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Kibanda's mighty shlong of Cygnus.
Mira's all right.
She could be beefier.
What did you mean by this?
Means he's got taste.
What do you mean by that?
Oh, man.
Thank you guys all very much for the donations.
We really appreciate it.
Now it's Space Marine 2.
The actual gameplay is playing before us as well.
So for the just audio listeners here, we are watching.
Shout out to Luton.
Thank you so much for his gameplay, which is the earlier bit.
We borrowed this from Luton.
We did also.
We'll have our own footage soon, baby.
Thursday.
So close.
Very excited.
Andy, Space Marine 2.
So Space Marine 2, the question is,
because we don't really know much about the lore
and we don't want to spoil the lore for titers going in,
should we talk about Tyranids or should we talk about the fact?
I suppose it would be Tyranids would be the first thing
to talk about, because look at them.
They're right there sprawling around in their googly bits.
I love the googly bits.
Realistically, for a Space Marine game,
you only have a couple of options
as far as the gameplay.
You couldn't do this with Darktide.
It makes sense that it's going to be Corrupted Guardsmen
and civilians.
When you're fighting waves and waves of enemies,
the only things you really could pick are orcs or Tyranids.
You couldn't do this gameplay with the Tau.
But as I said earlier, Titus is a veteran of the Tyranic Wars.
Tyranids don't have a mega amount of lore.
They're just bugs.
They're just malevolent bugs that like to eat people.
They eat stuff.
They get bigger.
And then they're more of a problem.
Tyranid lore.
For the uninitiated.
Poor Tyranid fans.
For the uninitiated, if anyone hears
in saying any alien from the Alien franchise,
essentially it is the Xenomorph that has been turned to.
Is there like a lone predator killer?
There is a lot of equipment.
There is no deeper reason for the Tyranids being here.
They're here for food.
They want to eat the viral mass.
Yeah, I guess.
Which is not a criticism.
This is a feature, not a bug.
I mean, it is a bug, but like, you know.
Not that kind of bug.
Yeah.
Barabas Dandiok rang the biggest dinner bell in the history.
And oh boy.
Ever.
They hungry.
That feels bad.
Yeah.
The cool thing about Tyranids, they are essentially
the mass-produced Xenomorph from Alien.
But then it's turned on its head in slightly a way
where it's not really a mix of human or hybrid DNA.
It's a production of something called the Hivemind, which
is basically a floating mass organism from another galaxy
that's invading with massive tendrils that
pierce onto Imperial worlds, as people can see onto the gameplay.
Your main objective as a space marine player essentially
is to try and eliminate as many Tyranids as possible
for the effect of, you basically want to make the cost of attacking
a planet so strong that the Hivemind basically goes, nah,
too many resources were spent on this thing.
The Tyranids are essentially, they're not really monsters.
They're just resource attack drones, essentially.
Yeah.
Imagine if you had an extremely hungry man
and you held a burger in front of him.
And you kept smacking him in the face.
And after seven slaps, he goes, I don't know.
I don't think I want to try that again.
It's that basically all it's just like, stop, stop, stop.
My more burger.
He's mad.
From the gameplay we've seen so far,
the range goes from little Hormogons,
which are like the tiny crowd runner ones.
There's usually quite a lot of them spanned on tabletop.
Some come in melee variant.
Some come in shooting ones.
Termigons and Hormogons.
Hormogons, that's the Termigons or the melee ones?
I never remember which ones have the guns.
But their guns are like little biomes of their own.
They have little beetles in them.
And they shoot beetles out of a sphincter of the gun.
And then the beetles eat your flesh.
The sphincter.
You're dead.
The sphincter.
Shout out to the post I saw earlier,
which was there's a Leo tiger.
And it's the first LEGO piece that has a butthole piece.
Oh, no.
Tyranids coming in with the sphincter launcher like, no.
I don't think Tyranids are a crude thing.
I don't think Tyranids have that equipment necessarily.
Because they're designed to be pretty enough.
I've never seen one in my whole life.
The biomass gets put in the reclamation pool.
And then the biomass goes up to the ships
where they make more Tyranids.
Yeah.
So it's very hard to win against the Tyranids.
Because if they die, they'll just eat all of their dead
and make the same amount of Tyranids
that they had before.
So you have to burn all the bodies.
Or if you lose, then they have more Tyranids
to fight you with afterwards from eating your corpse.
They're very efficient species.
And also, they learn pretty well.
And the hive mind has them adapt to wherever they are
and stuff like that.
And they're pretty dangerous to eat yourself.
Because I know the catachan are one of their things
that makes them badass is they can eat Tyranids a bit.
But they have to be really careful, I assume.
But if you look at the fruit.
Yeah.
I think we're not supposed to eat Tyranids.
No, they die.
Or they ask things.
Their whole thing is they eat stuff
to adapt because they're perfect genetically evolution.
They eat a Tyranid.
It does not end well.
Tyranids are basically impossible to use
against themselves.
You just have to find a way.
Usually a book goes, hey, I've devised a one-time use
way to genetically infect them with a virus.
And that's usually how it goes.
And then at the end of the book, they're like,
can we use this against all the Tyranids?
And they go, no, just this specific strain.
Ah, that's convenient.
There's no gene.
We haven't seen any gene stealers.
That's kind of sad.
Yeah.
That's one of the more common ones people see on the tabletop.
I don't know.
They might make an appearance possibly in the game.
Gene stealer could be the DLC.
That would be really cool.
The gene stealers are weird because they're more
of like an infiltration unit.
They're usually in space.
Like you look at a space hulk, there's
like a bunch of gene stealers.
But they're usually more of a case of,
we're going to infect a populace from the inside
for a few generations.
So you see the ridge, and they start to slowly evolve.
Whereas Tyranids, proper Tyranids, in quotes,
it's just like, we just want to chuck them at the problem.
Eat the problem away, please.
Lictors usually get their first two, though.
So I think genes and Lictors usually
get there around similar times.
I'm surprised there's no gene stealers to fight at all.
Oh, Lictors is a good point.
There's some, in some of the gameplay,
there has been evidence, well, we've
seen parts of it, which are the Lictors.
These are probably, again, for reference,
the closest ones to a xenomorph and alien.
Although these can actually turn invisible.
And they are essentially like stealth, assassinating.
Death leaping level of it.
Yeah, they very much are designed to,
they can exist as a forefront, assassination, disruptive
enemy.
I think in the gameplay, they leap out from shadows
to attack you.
There's also quite a few Tyranid warriors,
which are the slightly bigger ones that have,
like, basically forearm swords.
They're pretty dangerous.
There are ranged variants, I think, in the game as well,
which are also on the tier top.
They are very annoying.
But luckily, they don't have AP.
So they don't have very good armor piercing.
They kind of suck.
So when my friend was playing against me
and he had a whole Tyranid warrior horde shoot at me
and I had a two plus save, I basically
saved it all because I didn't roll a one.
I said, uh-uh.
Yeah, it was a, that's, you know,
so basically they have a lot of shooting,
but not much armor penetration.
But I said, yeah, I think they also have,
they have a Hive Tyrant as well in the gameplay.
I believe that might be the boss.
Yeah, there are boss fights in the game.
And I think I've seen one where it's like, ah,
the big chunky boys boss fights.
Tyrant.
Hive Tyrants are cool Tyranids.
What do they do?
Hive Tyrants are like the, one of the main commanders
of the Tyranids.
And they're like, they're like semi, almost kind of sentient.
And they can learn on their own from the,
and make their own strategies and stuff like that.
They're also like the closest like to the swarm lord
directly looking at a battlefield, aren't they?
Not swarm lord, the hive mind.
Yeah, basically.
Although that's probably what the Norn Queen is nowadays.
I don't know what's behind the new things though, so.
They're slightly bigger, but more badass,
I'll tell you what top variants.
Well, I think considering this is like early missions
in gameplay that we're currently viewing
just for all your listeners,
they may be more dangerous variants of tuners
that we haven't had a reveal yet
so at the weight of the game releases,
but they're pretty much something up their sleeve.
As for now, the main boss battle that's been on display
has been a hive tyrant, which is just basically a slight,
like a really enlarged tune of warrior,
badass, fast, deadly move.
Really pure.
Poor, pure instinct just is a killer and it's very dangerous
and it likes to eat humans and then go suicide
into acid pits at the end.
I must say the dead space fan in me is wondering,
are we gonna get like a final boss similar to the first game,
which is like this gigantic thing
and you have to shoot the little pods on it,
like, oh, it's gigantic pyramid thingy.
Don't know what that would be, but still.
Well, there's a-
I mean, they're big, but they're not super big.
Yeah, I mean, they dwarf a space marine.
And just, I wanted to say this earlier,
for reference to people who are listening
for how strong a space marine is,
a silverback gorilla can,
I've literally heard this recently,
the silverback gorilla can bench press about two tons
and a space marine is probably the equivalent of that.
So space marine-
He's covered in armor.
Yeah, covered in armor.
The armor has weapon-
Chemical fibers in it.
Yeah, juice stuff.
And two hearts and three lungs and extra organs
and like plate, sub dermal plating under his skin
to make him a bit harder to kill and yeah, they're crazy.
And a chainsaw.
Yeah, so it may look weirdly unrealistic,
but there's nothing quite as cunning as mankind
and we are good at killing things.
But there is another enemy variant
that will be appear in space marine two,
if everyone's ready to talk about that.
A mysterious one at that.
Yeah, it's been a, it's been a,
or as you people will see on screen here,
that's the hive tyrant just for reference there.
If you want to see how big that thing is,
I think a boss fight is coming up for that.
So look out.
For reference, there has been reveals,
it's even in the recent thematic slash cinematic
opening trailer that the thousand suns
will be the main enemy, much like how in space marine one,
the game sort of started with orcs
and it transitioned into chaos and chaos space marines.
And it's a new variant enemy type came about halfway
slash towards the end of the game.
And this is true for the space marine two,
which will then focus on the thousand suns.
Brief sort of beginner rundown course
for all the uninitiated and for those who
are willing to hear it again.
The thousand suns are essentially a evil slash chaos
aligned space marine legion slash war bands.
They are from the 15th, which were once loyal
to the emperor of mankind and are now traitors.
And they see sort of, I don't know if like,
they're not hardcore evil, like compared to like things
like Nergal or other chaos variants.
These ones are pretty sneaky.
These are more like mental gymnastics evil.
They're not like, they're not as direct evilness.
They were forced to perform an evil
rather than we want to be evil exactly.
They were more like, I guess this is the best we can do.
What I mean is like, not evil.
I don't mean not evil.
What I mean is like, they are,
the ends justify the means kind of ones.
They're a bit more with it, if you know what I mean.
They're not as fully corrupted as some of the other variants,
but they are pretty much, they are awful.
And they will do horrible things.
I definitely get what you mean, but by the same token,
like I don't, if I'm getting crucified to save, you know,
I don't know, their dusty souls,
I'm still getting crucified.
That's just as much.
I mean, you could at least have a polite conversation
with them before, where if it was a world eater,
you ain't having a chat.
No, I'm just getting butchered.
Yeah.
Corn does not care where the blood flows.
I could theoretically talk my way
out of a thousand sons murdering.
Yeah, possibly.
No, the one you would be dead
when they even got close.
The next one you would try to be dead before it happened.
Emperor's children are just like,
I'm on too many drugs to care.
Like, oh no, this is bad.
Dude.
But essentially the thousand sons
are the sort of slightly ancient Egyptian
inspired chaos space marines.
They were once loyal to the emperor,
then were manipulated by the chaos called Zech.
Changer of ways, Mr.
you know, fate, warp, magic, all that good stuff.
He eventually turned them into a fully fledged chaos legion
that split into various war bands.
They'll have all different kinds.
The main one you see is the sort of blue and gold trim ones
that are in the gameplay.
There's actually a variant that's not the main ones,
funny enough, but they are like the most popular one
and they are like the box art for almost space marine,
like thousand sons, if you're buying it for the tabletop.
They were part of this infamous event
called the fall of Prospero.
Based on their home world burned,
they were killed by their own loyalist brothers and friends,
which were the space wolves, the worst legion ever.
Can we get a skill issue in the chat?
Yeah.
Yeah, you have to bring this to these ancestors in silence.
For real.
Yeah. Can't do one legion versus one legion.
Stay mad.
I lost the versus episode.
Let me have this.
Yeah, fair enough.
Essentially they were cast into the warp
where magic comes from in Warhammer
and their home is now the planet of sorcerers.
It's basically a mirror corrupted slash broken version
of Prospero and magic is flowing all throughout
its silver towers and ghost spires, a very cool place.
I don't think we'll get to see Prospero possibly in game,
maybe possibly, I don't know yet, I really don't know.
And for people who were watching earlier,
we made reference, this was the Hive Tyrant boss gameplay
that there's currently on screen for the audience.
It's just massive and it's pretty dangerous, pretty cool.
For the Thousand Sons, their most recent stuff
has been like battling, like the Battle of Fenris
and the Gathering Storm, just for slight reference.
They're not really relevant.
And most of the setting, like the current plot,
most of it has been around tyrannids,
which is why tyrannids feature as a main opponent
in the game, but they are,
maybe they'll get something more in the future.
On the tabletop, the Thousand Sons themselves
very much reflect the magic base system.
They are awful to mention one thing as well,
sorry about the Thousand Sons.
While they were in the warp,
they were basically all dying because Zech cursed them.
And so then one of their ilk,
their chief librarian called Azek Arriman, man's great.
The definition of you failed,
the man just doesn't give up
and he tries to save his brothers.
This ends up creating something called
the Rubric of Arriman, a massive ritual that turns
most of the surviving Legion, which is not many,
only a few thousand of them,
they all turn to dust within their armor
and they are like essentially robotic automatons.
And only their sorcerers remain who have been juiced up
and they are super powerful.
So sorcerers are pretty strong.
And the sorcerers also command the Rubric Marines.
On the tabletop, they very much reflect the sort of
sorcerous nature and inspirations
that will appear in Space Marine 2.
So they have their sorcerers, which are very powerful
compared to even just other generic sorcerers
from other factions, even just normal Space Marine sorcerers,
only a couple really rival them.
They often lead groups of Rubric Marines,
which will essentially again,
they will not really act as fluid as a normal Space Marine
or particularly the Titus or the Primaris Marines
in Space Marine 2, because they are essentially
being like autopiloted.
They're not actually very accurate at shooting as well
in some parts of other games,
but on the tabletop, they are fantastic.
And they have a recall ability where they get to
reroll wound rolls of one.
And then if you're an objective,
they get to reroll the wound roll, which is a bit unfair,
but they are expensive.
Not being funny with Fowls and Sons,
if they were not Rubric Marines and you were fighting
like super power psychers all the time,
that would be a frustrating gameplay.
I won't put me down, this is annoying.
So you gotta have your top.
It would be possibly like a little bit unbalanced.
I'm shocked you're leaving out
the Thousand Sons ace in the hole.
Oh, here we go, where's all my missing?
Come on, the combat patrol,
they're right there, you can't miss them.
Well, I was getting to the next,
which is one of the cooler units is the Scarab.
I mean, I'm getting to them.
The Scarab are called Terminators,
which have shown up in some gameplay as well.
They are essentially the Terminator version.
So like the much bulkier armor set.
The equivalent, they do have Terminators in Warhammer now,
but it's because Thousand Sons were first born Marines,
they're not actually Primaris Marines.
They're a little bit smaller than their Titus
and their Primaris brothers.
So Primaris Marine in Gravis armor
was like the slightly bulkier version
of one of the classes in Toyo's Marine too.
It's kind of the same size as their Terminator.
So it's a bit off kilter.
Scarab are called Terminators
are essentially just bulked up rubric Marines.
They're a little bit more swift and sentient,
much stronger, very enduring,
again, led by sorcerers for the time,
but they pretty much have like rocket pod missiles
and bolt guns as well.
So, and that's where we kind of leave
most of the normal stuff.
There was a Helldrake spotted in Space Marine 2.
Helldrake is in Men's.
This is the massive flying metallic pterodactyl thing.
Terrible on the tabletop, honestly terrible.
It will be a very cool boss fight
for people to engage with in Space Marine 2.
It does spout flame and death.
How actually is it on the tabletop?
It's so bad.
All I know about it is that it's model blows.
Yeah, but it's not enough damage,
supremely over costed and really bulky
and hard to move across the tabletop
because it's a flying.
It's 205 points.
And if you play it against a flyer,
you might do six mortal wounds to that flyer in a combat.
And that's it.
It's just the case of, I could imagine you trying to,
like you hold your breath
every time you move it across the board.
Please don't break, please don't break, please don't break.
I do still bring my Helldrake though, because it looks cool.
Yeah, it's a very cool model.
He killed Angraan the other day.
He killed Angraan?
Because Angraan has the flying.
I flew in and I hit with all my attacks
and then he's anti-fly 2 plus.
So I did eight mortal wounds to Angraan.
I forget he has fly.
Yeah, that's all that model can do though.
So I guess I just type Angraan real good.
Strength is, it's like, it's mainly a strength seven,
AP minus one damage too, and it has like five attacks,
I think so towards anything else,
you're doing like four damage at most on a turn
and you just pay 205 points to do four damage to one thing.
And then it dies next term because it's flyer.
So speaking of something that I hope to see in the game,
and that is definitely worth its cost on the tabletop
is something called the Mutilith Vortex Beast,
which I don't know if it's likely we'll see this
in Space Marine 2, but it will be such a,
it would be amazing because for those who have not seen,
I wish we had an image of it,
but the Mutilith Vortex Beast is essentially a lovecraftian
twisted, Xenchean chaos monster that is,
has like a legit magic portal upon its back
and it has writhing tentacles and all kinds of things.
It is a creature of pure magic and chaos.
In fact, it's even in Total Warhammer 3 as a DLC thing.
It's really damn cool and it would make an amazing boss fight.
It's very specific to the Thousand Suns,
no other faction, I think,
other than maybe chaos demons can use it.
And also on the tabletop is really fun
because it's supremely under costed
and it has three weapon profiles,
which means it can either do a really direct
like D6 plus six damage, one hit thing as a blast attack.
So if it hits a group, it does more hits
because you get blasts like plus a number of hits you get.
And it also has a torrent weapon,
which means it automatically hits.
So you can just go straight to the wound roll
and therefore if something charges you,
you can overwatch it.
So, and it has a lot of wounds and it's hard to kill.
So really cool, really cool thing.
I hope it's in the game and if it does get there.
Rounding out something amazing
is that for the Combat Patrol of the Thousand Suns,
we have, well, first of all,
we have the Infernal Master who's a sorcerer.
You have the Terminator as I said before.
More good models.
And then we have 20 Zangors,
which will be, as we've seen in some gameplay footage
at the right, or even in the recently released
cinematic intro trailer, there is Zangors,
which are essentially goats, goat men.
With guns.
They have, there are variants that have auto,
they have pistols and they have mini chainswords.
There are variants that have shields and swords
and there are ones that just have double wielding axes.
There are Zangors for days.
Zangors are basically the fodder of the Thousand Suns.
They are the equivalent to what would be a Hormogon
slash Termogon for the Ternus,
but not in the same number.
These things are essentially the servants.
They are the bitches of the Thousand Suns.
I wish I could be a Zangor.
They are a lot of fun and I will be bringing them to play
on a game soon, because I just,
they are not necessarily the greatest,
but they have a cool thing on tabletop,
which allows you to generate on a four plus roll
more Cabal points, which means you basically get more
currency for your magic system in Thousand Suns.
So they are somewhat fun.
There is a cool variant called Zangor Enlightened,
which hopefully will be in the game.
I don't see why they couldn't do it,
because a lot of Thousand Suns, as well as I mentioned,
they fly on silver disks of zines.
They basically are on Beyblades.
I don't know how the other way around.
Hell yeah.
They're just fan-ficking as the Silver Surfer
from what's it, the Fantastic Four,
which is like, look at me, going across on my disk.
Pretty much.
The Thousand Suns of the Sorcerers often fly
on silver disks of Beyblades.
Silver disk of Zines.
And the Zangor Enlightened, also for 45 points,
you get a Zangor Enlightened,
which is three Zangors on a silver disk.
And they have something called Great Bows,
which we have precision hitting on fours,
which is difficult, but they have lethal hits.
They are damaged too.
So they can snipe out anyone's Warlord turn one.
But for 45 points, you lost absolutely nothing.
They'll be really funny if they were in game.
Probably hard to kill,
because they'd be flying around a lot.
In game, they're pretty easy to kill.
They just, I think they have a six up in vulnerable say,
and that's it.
That's pretty good.
Yeah, for 45 points, by the way, people-
Yeah, for Zangor, it's not good,
but like for stupid goat.
Yeah.
There also is something called Screamers of Zinch.
These are basically like flying manta ray things
with too many eyes.
Not much to say about them, really disgusting.
There's also, unlikely to even make an appearance,
but there's the Demon Primarch Magnus the Red,
who's a model I actually even own myself.
Eli has one in the back as well.
An enormous model,
perhaps the largest Primarch model
that they've ever made.
The show off his miniature on screen.
Oh my God.
Go on.
You know you want to.
No, it is a pretty awesome sculpt for a model.
It's a mix of like an avian creature
with an enormous Primarch,
and he's ridiculously,
he's probably one of the best things on the table top.
Check out my enormous Primarch, said Hal.
My Primarch is bigger than yours.
Thank you, Zangor.
He says Hal trying not to touch his Magnus every night.
Jeez.
But essentially that mostly rounds out the,
that mostly rounds out the Thousand Suns sort of roster.
And I do believe with the rest of the boys here,
we're going to have a quick look at the class system
slash the different class.
And we're going to explain a little bit about how,
you know, which one is, what they can do,
what model they relate to on the tabletop
for people listening.
Should we start with the basic kind of vanilla one,
tactical Marine?
Yeah.
Do you want to go one by one?
Andy, do you want to explain that?
Just Andy, do you want to explain tactical Marine?
Oh, what I know about the gameplay is that he's the only
class that gets free guns.
So you get like a primary weapon, a sidearm,
and like another gun.
But the caveat is he's kind of mid, like he,
he was in the-
The all-rounder guy.
Yeah. He's like Jack of all trades, master of none.
He's got like a scanner that helps you do more damage
to stuff that you scan.
He can carry a few different guns,
but they're not the most like fun to look at.
You got a bolter, bolt pistol, chainsword. Cool.
It's just kind of like the, yeah, the vanilla option.
As well as before we get into that,
is there any more donations we need to-
Yeah, we should do that.
We've got a few, yes.
We can go through those.
Thank you so much for the donations.
Thank you very much.
Colin, would you mind reading out the set we have here?
Oh dude, I just discovered, I found the super chat tab.
I can do that.
Raw666, thank you for the 10.
Since his replacement has a hard on for the Codex,
do you think Kato Sakaris promoted Leandro's
to a second in command of the second company
that would fit the grim dark that stupidly the blue boys?
Disgusting.
Disgusting comment.
I mean, depends on when, you know,
like after Gilman came back,
Kato's kind of got humbled, hasn't he?
He's chilled out a bit.
Yeah, he spent some time with Gilman
and he learned to like chill out a bit.
But he also got like the man himself.
He worked for like a year or something, didn't he?
Yeah, he had like a bit of PTSD.
Yeah.
The PTSD helped.
Or just on gameplay,
we're seeing some Zoanthrope tearing in the way down.
They had their own psycho equivalents,
but they don't really,
they are like an anti-warp creature in most capacity.
They're super strong in the lore.
That's great.
That gray shark seven seven, thank you for the five.
Question for all you guys,
what class in Space Marine two
are we interested in playing as?
I think we can answer that in a dash.
Yeah.
We can go through them.
Thank you though.
Thank you so much for that.
We'll get to that shortly.
Kayla Collins with the two,
thirst water did good against them.
It did happen.
Should we explain what that is very quickly?
Thirst water is water,
but you drink it and dehydrate or something like that.
Like it like turns into a husk.
Am I right?
Yeah.
Only on the blood angels home world.
Yeah. I don't know why that exists, but it does.
They leave it there.
So Space Marine aspirants can possibly die to it.
Cause if they're not smart enough to survive drinking water,
that will dehydrate you.
Isn't there like a second of-
Cause you know when you're a 12 year old,
that's the first thing you think of.
This water will kill me in the desert.
I'm sure it's that thing with Dante's book,
where it's like when he's a kid and he's got it
and he sees like a skeleton corpse
with a fairly like substantial flask of water.
And he's like, hang on, hang on a minute.
This skeleton's got too much water.
It's suspicious.
I'm not gonna drink it.
Sussy water.
Dante with the 2500 CLP,
Gilliman lion protects the pharaoh's device.
Lion, I'm not gonna pay attention.
One minute later, Dantiac dies and the pharaoh's-
Feels bad.
Gonk 152 with the five.
Hello, I would like 10 Zangor and 10 more Zangor.
I got the combat patrol for you, buddy.
I have 20 fully built Zangors, thank you very much.
And then I carved three of them up
and turned them into Zangor and Lighten.
Hal, are you gonna purchase one more combat patrol
for 1000 Zanz before it gets obliterated?
I already have a-
Obliterated?
I have 2K already,
because Magnus is worth 500 points.
So I have 2000 points already, so they need me.
Well, this guy doesn't have a spending problem.
That's crazy.
I love it.
I couldn't imagine.
We got three more.
That last one is funny.
Oh boy.
Caleb Collins with the two.
Scarier chaos alligator or chaos hippo.
Chaos hippo.
Hippos are monsters.
That's a great hippo idea.
Especially when they're hungry hungry.
Oh yeah.
I think it would be a cool mount for something though.
That would be, yeah.
Caleb Collins again with the two.
Big W for classism.
And H. Meal of with the 5BGN.
Colin and Hal did motion capture for the Termigants
and Zangors.
Brothers.
Oh man.
Amazing.
Oh gosh.
Hungry little bug.
Not beating that alligator.
That makes me think of an almost Friday skit.
I'm gonna send that in the chat.
But it is Friday.
But Andy did-
That's what I did have breakfast.
And he did describe though essentially what is
just like the common assault intercessor,
tabletop space Marine that you can buy in most boxes.
I believe Andy.
Adequate in everything.
Yeah.
I kind of the-
Which is how space Marines used to have their doctrine
before Primaris came along and made them Craftworld Eldar.
As I close my eyes, it's a battle line unit.
Colin, would you like to explain the assault Marine?
If there's-
I would.
So take that, we called them gorillas and plate armor.
So take that gorilla, give him a jet pack
and give him a really big hammer or sword
or power fist or lightning claws.
Give him a couple things, you know, whatever works for you.
And as long as the end result is big Marine that flies at you
and brutally murders you in melee,
you got an assault Marine.
Sometimes they might have a pistol, you know,
a gun is nice to have.
A lot of the time, you know, they'll have a shield.
I know the guy on the screen right now
is not an assault Marine,
but you know, sometimes they'll have one of them.
I think the assault Marine is the only one
that can use the funder hammer as well.
It's like no other classes, just him.
Cause he's the DPS.
On the hammer's best.
So they're getting in up close and personal to beat you up.
That's a nice and simple.
The equivalent actually as well on Tabletop
is a relatively recent addition as a time of recording.
Like in 10th edition, there was previous ones
like Vanguard veterans, if Eli has any nostalgia for them.
They essentially are a rel,
they are just called the jump ancestors at the moment.
And the Sergeant, I believe is the one that can be equipped
with the special equipment such as thunder hammer
and power fist and all that goodness.
But particularly the rest of the squad
is mostly just chain swords.
I think you probably can't have a chain sword
with it as well, but they are very good
cause they are 80 points.
They're so cheap at the current time of recording.
And they basically can, if you combine them
with certain detachments in playing space Marines,
they can have a, they can hit well above their weight.
And they are a lot of fun for most armies.
And it's an easy conversion, so.
If you have a spare jet pack lying around,
just roll it out a normal Marine.
Yeah, you can buy just normal 10 intercessors.
And you can only get five in a box normally
for the jump ones, just buy 10 normal intercessors
and then put jump packs on them.
There we go.
Nice and easy.
Eli, do you want to explain the Vanguard one?
Or do you, you can choose which one you want to do.
Of the, yeah, Vanguard, Bulwark, Sniper, and then Heavy.
These guys, these guys think I know space Marine lore.
That's crazy.
We can do it if you want.
Oh, there's the, the sniper one's like a Reaver.
I assume for the good space Marines,
like the good guys, right?
I'm glad you had to throw that in there.
Yeah.
Is it the Reaver or is it just the Reaver?
Or is it those guys?
The Vanguard is the Reaver.
Okay.
Yeah, the sniper's basically got a active camouflage ability
and a sniper rifle or a few different types
of sniper rifles.
Sniper's a good job, mate.
I do not know primary space Marine unit lore.
I know old space Marine unit lore.
Honestly, I know something about Reaver.
Yeah, Phobos armor.
Yeah, he's in, the Phobos armor is supposedly silent.
As a thing, like, so they are somewhat-
Yeah, that makes sense.
They are meant to be like the stealth ones.
Well, at least it makes more sense.
It's when you read the Raven Guard,
it's like, how do you make your armor
so quiet as a first one?
They're like, oh, you know, we just got like some duvets
and we stick them.
It's like, what, you get like rags.
Yeah, we just like get, we got like a hat
and we put like an extra shirt in there
just to smooth it out.
Is that it?
It's like, yeah, we just like stuff stuff in it.
All right, I guess if it works.
If it looks stupid, but it works, it isn't stupid.
Space Marine armor is like that.
All goes around, eh?
But the Raven Guard also have the thing where they're like,
we wear black armor, but if you're really good at stealth,
we paint it white just to make it more show offy.
Like you can't see us with this white armor.
Like, hmm.
Somebody asked, pardon?
I just said big stealth.
Okay.
Won't take me and ask if there's chaos
Space Marines in the game.
Well, there's no chaos primarily, so it's not a thing,
but there are chaos Space Marines in the PVP.
Yes.
Which is why I will be playing probably the sniper guy
because he's an Alpha Legion guy.
And apparently the skins are class locked
until you unlock more stuff.
So that's real wonderful.
The Death Guards, the Bullwark, Korn is the head.
I assume the assault, because it would make sense.
Yeah.
The Night Lords for the Jump Pack guy.
Yeah.
Well, once I unlock Emperor's Children,
I'll probably play normal guy or Jump Pack guy.
The next one is called the Bullwark,
which essentially as I think even now on gameplay
as we're seeing visually now,
this essentially is the sword and shield variant most,
I don't know if they had an old,
older editions equivalent necessarily.
Shields in previous things have been-
Just like in Vanguard.
Like in Vanguard jets, yeah.
Yes, I'm talking about shields,
but it's a very different design
that they came out with at the start of ninth edition.
This is equivalent to what essentially
is the blade guard veteran on the tabletop.
These are veterans of the first company
and they get to essentially be the sword and shield guys.
As in a game where you can see
they're pretty much just a melee hack and slash.
Tanki.
Tanki, no primary weapon, just a sidearm and a melee weapon.
That's all they get.
But the tank- Get in there and hit.
They do have access to the- And their ability
where they use the banner that gives everyone
in the banner's like range, like armor.
So it's like, ah, boost.
There is another variant of them called,
is it the aspiring champion or blade guard?
It's another variant where essentially
there is a blade guard with a banner.
So there actually is a lore slash link here
with the sort of move that it does have there.
They, on the tabletop, they are like decent.
Again, they're okay.
Space rings for themselves are not known
to have the best melee combat
compared to so many other factions,
but because the space rings are the masters of,
like how the altar rings are,
they're the masters of nothing, but they can do everything.
So space rings have good shooting and good melee.
They don't have like the best melee and then no shooting.
The blade guard veterans are somewhat okay.
They do a four-up and vulnerable save from their shield,
which makes them very much survivable
in a lot of like tabletop games.
So again, like in the equivalent of this game,
it makes you a little bit more survival
compared to the other classes.
And they come with a power sword as well.
No variants as far as I'm aware,
if there's anything they have like power sword,
power axes or thunder, any of those things.
They're just called power weapons.
They get power fist, they get a sword and a chainsaw.
Power sword, they're the only class
that gets the power sword.
It's unique to them.
That's kind of cooking.
Okay, that's cool.
They don't have, in the tabletop,
there's no blade guard with a power fist,
which is basically has more AP,
so it's a bit more armor piercing.
I wanna say the power fist is the starting one.
I don't know why a fist is more armor piercing.
Although I guess it's not anymore.
I think they're only AP minus two now, power fists.
AP minus one for other things.
Oh yeah, I guess they don't have power swords.
They have heirloom blades or something like that.
Cause there's no, yeah, there's no whatever, stupid.
I hate 10th edition.
I mean, there's another class here, which is,
I know Eli already mentioned this one earlier.
If anyone wants to take it, which is the sniper one,
which is basically the equivalent of eliminator.
Anyone wants to go for that?
I mean, he's a sniper.
I was gonna say, I don't know.
Honestly, I don't know.
It is a guy who can use halo active camo
and he has a sniper rifle.
Yep.
It is exactly what you think it is.
It probably has a grenade ability or something.
I don't know.
I didn't actually, I did have eliminators,
but I don't think I've ever used it on the table.
So unfortunately, if I can remember,
if you give me a second,
I might be able to actually look up
what their unique sort of thing is though.
But essentially, eliminators are similar to the Reaver ones.
They are ones that are in Phobos armor.
Again, like most of the time,
there was a funny time in Warhammer tabletop
where they had to limit how many of them could go,
or they do something with like transport,
cause people used to stack up transports
and just have eliminators sitting in the middle of them
and they would fire out of them.
Cause they can, there's something about some transports
have firing deck, which means you can fire
outside of transports.
So they're eliminators.
So their ability is in your shooting phase
after this unit has shot,
if it contains eliminators,
sergeant equipped with a instigator bolt carbine,
this unit can make a normal move until the end of the turn,
this unit is not eligible to their charge.
So basically they have a reactive move
and if they remain stationary,
they also get devastating wounds on their thing.
So they can have an auto sort of automatic hitting thing.
So they kind of hit strong again,
limiters are somewhat cheap in the tabletop,
but they are an interesting class that they don't get run
currently in competitive,
but they are somewhat around for tabletop and models.
Nice. I think it's all right.
I was not my favorite.
I really have to, the next one,
I hate to say it guys, cause this is my favorite,
the next one.
They are away. What do you got?
Oh my gosh, the Gravis boys, the Gravis boys.
They're heavy.
When Primaris Marines first came out,
poor Eli is crying right now.
I'd listened to Primaris.
When the Primaris Marines came out,
they sort of expanded the range to have an intermediary
between what was old school, like bulky terminators.
The one that I've mentioned,
like the Scarabicolt terminator for the thousand suns
or the chaos Lord in space room one,
who also was in turn it armor.
There was a bit of a variant between
what was like normal space Marine toughness four
between that and then like basically toughness six
or toughness six armor that has invulnerable saves
and has lots of safety protections.
Behold the Gravis armor.
There are a few units that have Gravis armor
on the tabletop.
There's things called, not yeah, eliminators,
which are horrible anti-tank, anti-monster things.
Basically like they have reroll hit and damage.
They kill everything.
And there's also one which is called aggressors.
They have like multi two-handed power fist,
storm, gold, and flamethrowers.
They're really quite cool.
And if they have not shown the equivalent
of an aggressor in the game,
what you see is essentially an eliminator.
No, it's not eliminator.
I mean, no, eradicator.
Sorry, I've got it wrong.
Eradicator is the name of the unit.
This thing is in game actually in space Marine two,
it's somewhat quite unique
because they have a variant that's not on the tabletop yet,
which is a Gravis plated one with a plasma weapon,
which is a bit different.
I don't know if Andy they showed
like it was the flame thrower one as well, I believe.
Yeah, I think they've got like a melter gun.
They've got a heavy bolter.
They got all the big, but if it is the heavy class,
the only caveat is I don't think they have any melee weapons.
It's just you get a heavy bolter,
which is only a heavy bolter.
But the good part is you have a heavy bolter.
So it's like, if something gets too close,
just shred it to pieces.
Make turn it into jammer.
You've got a heavy bolter.
Why would you need a melee weapon?
Just go, punch them with it.
It's fine.
So that's kind of their thing.
It's like they will destroy hordes of enemies from range
and up close to a lesser extent.
But the caveat is having a belt fed gun
that's like enormous, you're not gonna then go,
let me switch to my sort.
Nope, that's all you get.
Yeah.
It does reflect the models in game
because even though they have like a higher toughness
than a normal space Marine,
their survivability is nowhere near quite what a Terminator
is even though the toughness is the same.
That it have as many things to help them live,
but they are often high damage dealing things with a bit.
Again, their survivability is as greater than that
of standard tactical space Marine plate.
And I am not the biggest fan of the helmet,
but I like the overall bulky design.
I do believe in game they have access to an iron halo,
which for people listening,
we mentioned something called Huron Blackheart earlier
as a character.
There's this fun little thing where certain people have,
essentially like a mini force field kind of
for like small munitions.
Power by the power of Christ.
Yeah, the blessings of Mormons and Jesus.
Although Huron's is like called,
I think it's called the crown of thorns or something,
but his is a bit different and it's like reforged bits.
It's like reforged broken iron halos.
So it's like the evil version is like,
this is the power of desecrating.
Relative like, oh, why are you like this?
There's one on his acts as well, which is crazy.
But I said, yeah, they have an iron halo ability
that lets them do something fun.
Gives them like a bit of a bubble save,
which I mentioned for the Reaver one earlier,
if it was the Vanguard one,
they have a grappling hook.
Yeah.
I believe the sniper does go invisible,
but the grappling hook is a very funky idea.
Cause I think there actually is a grappling hook
on some of the Reaver models, but they actually don't.
I don't think I've ever,
I don't know if there's a tail type equivalent
of them actually doing that, but I assume they.
I don't mind if there isn't, it's a grappling hook, man.
Yeah, grappling hook.
I wish, hopefully it could be used to swing in,
isn't just attached to enemies,
but could be used in the environment as well.
I think it is.
I think the idea is it's just like a way of like
a stun attack where you kick and it goes,
and all the enemies go, oh, that was annoying.
I think they're also the only class that can use carbines.
So they get like a unique.
Malta variant.
And they have, they said that as well,
for Space Marine 2, there'll be some more weapons
coming in the future.
What's the other pistol variant slash,
it's not a plasma pistol.
It's similar though, Neo Volkite.
Oh, the Volkite.
Yeah.
Which again, like is somewhat of a,
I think it's just a cooler looking plasma gun essentially.
It's not gonna blow any other ones out of the water,
but like other things are coming to Space Marine 2.
That'll be quite exciting as well.
They did release a roadmap recently.
Yeah.
A game that is showing like they'll have
more multiplayer stuff, more a horde mode
is also coming to the game.
So people get excited for that.
I'm intrigued about they, they're like,
oh, we're gonna release extra chapter customizations.
And I'm like, is that gonna be like popularity?
Because if so, we're not gonna get any more white scars.
There has been, they fear, I think someone has said like,
there's an up-hanging plan for a Dark Angel specific one.
Yeah, Dark Angels are secured.
And then there's like a few others where it's like
a chapter and I'm wondering if it's gonna be like,
whatever people use customizing.
It's 100% gonna be Blood Angels.
Like, like it was just nowhere.
Cause it's like, it's the other,
there'll be Blood Angels, then there'll be a Space Orb one.
Cause those are the real.
The real question though, this will make or break the game.
And I'm not kidding.
See that banner.
If it's always an ultramarine banner,
no matter what your customization options are.
That I do hope they add.
It's about 10.
We better change that.
Zero out 10, zero out.
If I'm playing a white scar,
I want a white scar banner, please.
Not an ultramarine.
I'm excited to see, you're gonna see the skin
of a certain player, like a Space Wolf or Blood Angel.
And you're gonna know exactly what type of person they are.
Eventually.
I'm excited to see what type of people these will be.
Well, cards on the table.
I'm gonna be playing the Bullwark as a white scar.
I'm very, yeah, Eli,
I'm very excited when we get to the stage
of the game's lifespan where we're profiling people
based off their cosmetics.
It's like when you see a Wind Ranger player in Dota 2
and you want to go to their house and blow it up.
In a video game, in a video game.
In Minecraft.
Yeah, Colin, which class do you think you'll go for first?
I...
I'm already forgetting the name of the big shoot guy.
Oh, Heavy.
Heavy?
Heavy, yeah, well, that was not very hard
for you to remember.
Heavy, because I like, machine gun is fun.
Although alternatively Vanguard,
because that is, it's grapple hook.
I think I might try the Assault one, possibly.
I would say Assault also.
Those three are like the ones I'm leaning towards.
Heavy, Vanguard, and Assault.
The other, I'm sure at some point
I'll like play all of them though.
Tactical, like hard to go wrong with default guy.
What are you laughing at?
It's an H. Milo, obviously Colin
would be the servitor class.
I food.
They add that, let me in.
Mindless servitor, damn.
Yeah, probably those are what I'd go with.
But we are super excited for the game.
We'll be, again, saying earlier,
people would play, if you made it this far in,
please do give the stream and the video.
We appreciate it.
Did Eli say, do you say what you were gonna play class-wise?
Any ideas?
Probably Sniper guy, just cause I like the Alpha Legion.
But my aim is, as we have seen from the Fortnite streams,
I will probably not be contributing much to the team.
But I'll probably try the melee variants as well
when we're playing as the good guys.
We can't wait till I give it a go.
I guess if you guys are playing the game as well,
let us know which class or such wish chapter
you want to customize your stuff to as well.
Cause obviously we wanna know
what people represent particularly.
We all have our favorite chapters.
I'm doing Iron Hand.
Colin is probably not changing a single damn thing.
The false ultramarines, ultramarines at be.
Is there any more donations, Andy, just to get through?
Yes, we've got four left.
Thank you, brother.
This is from Caleb Collins.
First one, Freerun is a better elf than Techwiz.
Anime.
Yes.
Cory.
Also, he said, space marines are the best at autistic rage.
Chiseling me, baby.
Thank you, Caleb.
A Catholic servitor did kick Erebus's ass.
Did it now.
Oh, we've got another one from you.
You might as well say it now as well.
The power chair shall slay a god.
Glorious.
And we've also got one from DSManracing.
Thank you.
Glad I could catch you guys live
as long as you say the word lieutenant right.
I just did.
Left, right.
Are you?
Is that what he's saying?
I'm hoping not.
I'm not being funny.
George Washington, no these men.
I know the proper English way to say it is lieutenant,
but I'm like, I don't see no F.
Yeah, I don't understand.
I'm going with the Americans on this one.
Lieutenant, please.
Sorry.
I think people would just stop.
If there was an F, I would say left.
How many vowels?
No F.
I'm just saying you got what?
I-E-U in that, lew, lieutenant.
You know, there is an F going in that.
I'm just saying.
They can have lew, tenant.
So long as we get color with a U in it.
Yes.
Not color.
Color.
You can even hear the U in it.
I'll have to discuss with the council on this one.
That's me.
For everyone who watched the stream,
thank you guys so much.
For everyone who has any questions about Space Marine 2
as well, you can pop that in the comments below.
We'll be happy to answer.
And remember on the first day,
I believe you three will be playing Co-op Space Marine 2.
Yeah, on Thursday the 5th, baby.
Because it's a free man game, I will be setting it out,
but I will be playing it on my channel on my own.
Cannot wait to give you all a good showing.
We're going to train hard.
So versus the Astaris Anonymous.
Kill the Astaris Anonymous guys.
In Minecraft.
In real life.
Yeah.
Once I'm back from holiday, then we'll smash them.
And we'll recruit Dutch on our team just to drop salt.
It'll be funny.
And maybe Arthur.
We should just not acknowledge that.
That's actually not one of us.
That's just Dutch.
We're like, he's playing over us.
Who is this, Rando?
Oh, he's really good.
He's really good, damn.
I wonder if he's a...
He's really good at this game.
Damn.
Thank you guys so much for watching, for listening,
for any, you know,
obviously your interest in Space Marine 2 particularly.
Again, maybe it's not going to be the game of the century,
but it's particularly for Warhammer games
that are of a decent quality, big up.
And that's hopefully a celebrate that.
Thank you.
Thank all for the comments all throughout the stream.
You truly have made my week.
You've made my whole week.
No, no, not a fan of that one.
No, sure.
He is.
Thank you.
And praise the Hornwrap.
Anything else, brothers?
Enjoy Space Marine 2, guys.
This is the only massive game we're going to get for ages.
It's the only massive game we're going to get for ages.
They were great.
They were so much funnier than us as well.
We should get some.
I reckon Thank Wall has been posting diabolical heaters.
Thank you.
Mr. Moloch, absolutely heinous.
Al versus Kuga.
Kuga.
Closed doors.
One of us is leaving.
Sorry, not a copying, Colin.
One of us is leaving, truly desecrating a toilet.
Thank you guys so much for watching, for listening.
Appreciate it.
Thank you for Andy for the full on Space Marine 1 and 2
coverage so far.
And we'll catch you guys next time for a stream
and then some more Warhammer Fantasy lore coming as well.
Warhammer Fantasy stuff.
Yeah, baby.
Later, boys.
Bye.
Love you.
Bye bye.
