Part 2: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/acCVhKacvrezeok.htmlsi=AjrFNHicvUWjficO

The fact that invicta makes 40k videos now is such a joy.

Oh boy you’ve really opened Pandora’s box on this one

Invicta making 40k content is something I didn’t know I desperately wanted and need until now

Loved working on this one and Part 2 is on its way!

MWAHAHAHA I finally got to build my Ultramarine Chapter without staining all my fingers and burning all my cash. I'm truly excited for this format and the potential it holds for showing the truly insane scales of the Warhammer 40k universe! But this kind of content is still a colossal undertaking which is only made possible thanks to you all! To keep funding these projects, please consider joining our Patreon (www.patreon.com/InvictaHistory ) where we actually make all this art available for download! What topics should we cover next?

Guilliman didn't die. He was merely in stasis, albeit with his throat slit, but still alive all the same

So many space marine fans are collectively correcting the video that it has spawned the new chaos god 'Ackchyually'

Just a small correction at 3:50, but the 2nd founding saw the legions split into roughly 200 chapters. Further foundings got the number up to the around a thousand.

I find it funny how all the Dreadnoughts shown in this video have Blood Angels iconography on them. Especially the chapter symbol, the winged blood drop, can be seen quite clearly.

This is the content we never asked for, but it was exactly what we needed all along.

Fun Fact: The 3rd Edition Space Marines codex had the entire Ultramarines chapter modeled and arrayed on tabletop in a colour photo in the inside front cover, framing the photo was a breakdown of all the units listed and included the names of every Company Captain at that time. It was not a small amount of models and included at least a dozen old RT/2nd Ed Land Raiders and the crown jewel was one of the old white metal Thunderhawks.

Thank you for finally covering this military in true historical detail. Its so hard on hab worlds to find unbiased sources like this that isnt just stories from the Ecclesiarcy (not that I question the god emperor of course) or even worse propaganda from the worshippers of the nine devils of the outer hells (not that we have any here of course). I feel so much safer knowing the emperors angels are so well organised and able to protect us. Its enough to relax me about the strange whispering I hear whenever I try to study what i can about the galaxy in the hopes to better educate my fellow citizens and do my little bit to change the galaxy.

I hoped for a video like this for so many years, thank you for bring to life

A video on a generic Guard regiment would be amazing.

Wow! The animation, the storytelling, the detail! This was so wonderfully made. This is the exact video to show people just getting into wh40k! There is so much junk out there and rough explanations that this is basically a textbook of information!

It is a wonderful time to live in where people have such beautifully animated scriptures of my favorite niche sci-fi universe which I can watch for free. Hats off to you Sir

And on the fifth day Loremaster Luetin declared that no 40k video shall be made without Sciophobia! *FOR THE EMPEROOOOR!*

This is for sure one of the best warhammer video I've ever seen. The lore of this universe is so good and detailed and you elevated it even more. Thanks for that video.

Its a testament to how fleshed out the 40k universe is that these videos read exactly like your actual historical videos. Beauty.

And one thing to keep in mind, Space Marines can live to be over 1000 years old, so when one is called a veteran it means theyve fought near constant warfare for literal centuries.

My word good sir. What a show. This is my first video of yours and boy am I impressed. Well done my friend.

Okay, this genuinely has been very helpful, especially for homebrew non-codex compliant, you can see ways of organization and ways to work in rank, great work, lovely stuff, PLEASE MAKE MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

As a fan of both your channel and of Warhammer 40k, this video was a treat to watch. Thank you for making it ^^

Love the mix of a little bit of fantasy and historical videos keep up the hard work

I love that you did it pre-primaris. I just love seeing predator tanks and the like, they're just so much more iconic than the floating grav tanks that they've got now. Awesome video dude, can't wait for more like this.

kudos to Invicta who deliver a very detailed video, there is still several rough surface like quoting Guilliman saying Heretic, but overall, a pretty solid piece of lore

lez gooo more 40k please!! Cant wait for the Guard at some point (hopefully)

Hands down one of the most interesting wh40k videos I’ve watched this year

Invica, new 40k KZfaq channel I know that’s something I would want

This wasn't something I expected, but I definitely needed it; I've been able to understand much better the functioning of the companies, their formation and their equipment, thanks to this video. I'm a fan of the Space Wolves, but without a doubt the Ultramarines are the easiest example to understand the Codex Astartes (in any case, if you make a video for each of the loyal chapters of the first foundation, I would be happy, since they all have their peculiarities).

This is a cool concept and I’m watching this 10s after release so let’s see how this goes.

This is incredible! I play Ultras, and love the tactical doctrines of the codex astartes~ This really helps me visualize how massive running a full chapter would look like if I had the time and money to paint one

Reminds me of the time GW straight up sold a box set for the *entire Ultramarines Chapter* for like £7000 back in the late 2000s. Like, who the fuck gets up in the morning and thinks "oh boy, I really feel like buying OVER ONE THOUSAND MODELS today!"

I've been confused about these "space marines" so this helps clear it up

I've been watching since the THFE days in 2016 with the massive battles series. Your Total War Warhammer videos were actually what got me into warhammer in general, so it's very nice to see the channel come full circle back to its roots. This is awesome

The Astartes' chapters are based on the late Roman empire's legions, once formidable legions, now small forces of 1000 soldiers.

Judging from the comments I take it this is his first 40k content? lol this was just recommended to me and this is actually really helpful! You got yourself a sub.

WHOA! This was awesome! Instantly subbed and cannot wait for part two!

I’d love to find out how the post Cadia chapters are organised and how the Primaris marines fit in with the existing organisations

I don't know why, but the best history content creators I usually watch suddenly all uploading 40k content... Match made in heaven. FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

one of my favourite history channels doing a dive into one of my favourite hobby for both story and games - Im in

Black Temalars be like: "sorry, we must have lost your books..."

Laughs in Black Templar

You stirred up a hornet's nest now Invicta, a steady stream of 40k content is now in order 👀

I absolutely love that all the history channels I’ve watched over the years and loved now turn to warhammer 40K my second love. Great job man!

When the world needed him most, He returned !

What really surprised me was I consider myself new to Warhammer I'm more into the lore than anything else but as I watched the video I asked, "Do they not deploy with imperial guardsmen?" While I imagine this can happen on occasion I just think it would be an extremely weird idea that they don't supplement their forces with regular guardsmen

Love the fact you’re doing 40K! Wish you focused on some other legion/chapter than the constantly in the spotlight poster-boy Ultrasmurfs, but great video regardless.

This is just a video I needed. Thanks very much, man! May The Emperor protect you!

Next stop. Astra militarum regiment! Thumbs up for this👍🏽😁

Honestly an amazing job done, whilst it’s easy to pull random numbers out of a hat or have little diagrams, it’s far far more impressed when you see the actual scale of just how large a single space marine chapter and even then, many people might never see a space marine in their entire lives, and again people fail to understand or even respect or even fear at just how powerful a space marine truly is, considering that an entire hive city on Armageddon was held by one command squad and two other squads of black templars who whilst yes were all cut down to a man and were supported by titans, the fact remains that only thirty or so marines were able to fend off an ork invasion all on their own and again that’s not to diminish the heroisms of the titan pilots as well as the countless men and women in the guard and militia forces who gave their lives to defend their homes and city, but the fact of the matter remains, hellsreach wasn’t even considered a proper hive city, it was large yes, but most of its infrastructure was geared towards shipping and refining materials, not a full on invasion like a dedicated hive city ie hades hive and even then its walls were not even walls but a concrete fence to keep the elements out and a few anti aircraft guns to keep some of the larger pests away and yet despite the fact that over half of the hive was completely destroyed, the imperials still won the battle no less and again people forget that before the Horus heresy the space marines were considered the standard form of infantry, imagine an entire army of halo Spartans or Terran marines, all of them fully armed and equipped, along side entire legions of titans and knights In support as well as having access to far more powerful and devastating weapons compared to what the imperium already possess 😂

Amazing stuff, thanks a lot Invicta

A chapter consisting of just 1000 marines feels pretty small but seeing the whole thing at once make it seems quite big again, considering what they are.

I did not expect this video from you. “A surprise to be sure but a welcome one.”

Omg please do more 40k stuff i love this franchise!

Love all Invicta content but gotta say...would love more 40k and AOS stuff

Absolutely beautiful. Narrator fits perfectly

Absolutely LOVE THIS VIDEO! It would be wonderful to see non compliant chapters like Blood Angels or Black Templars as well. This was great to show the true scale of a chapter.

Oh baby, this is bringing me back to when I started during 4th edition. "And tanks..." for the memories.

Am i seeing this right.... Its amazing how many videos is being created about 40k lore recently and its amazing🎉🎉

This is something I actually really wanted to see. So thanks for that. Maybe post-Guilliman reawakening changes for part 3?

What an comprehensive and inspiring video! Congratulations, fantastic work!!!! I'd love to see more of these. Maybe a Cadian Shock Troops vid? That'd be interesting.

I must thank you a lot for taking older Space Marines chapter structures, before Primaris ones came out and kinda made structure more confusing with all that new ranks such as lieutenants.

Dear Invicta, ive been a long time viewer of your channel and ive always loved the historical documentaries. youre one of my favorite military history channels out there. Im also a long time 40k fanatic. So you making a 40k Video is like a dream come true. id love to see more of those!!

My granddad was a total legend - a Space Marine back in the day. 🌌 He used to recount these epic missions he went on, fighting aliens and saving planets. Wish I could've seen some of his gear or medals, but he kept most of it tucked away. Such a cool piece of family history! Wish he could've shared more stories, but I guess some things are meant to stay mysterious. Miss him loads!

Aw, this would’ve been perfect when I was starting out with my space marines. Good overview of codex compliant chapters.

thank you for covering the pre primaris chapter composition first. years later i still regret the introduction of primaris as a concept and the pain it brought for the first born, the first poster boys.

Excellent work. One small quibble is that when showing off the weapons of the marines you used the primaris cawl pattern bolt rifles, where as the firstborn marines, especially the ultramarines would be using the shorter Godwyn pattern which also has no scope

Lore accurate smurf village

The crossover I didn't know I needed

I will now sing a round of "Da emperor is da best" in celebration of this episode.

Thank you for introducing new comers to this chaotic universe designed to sell overpriced miniatures

Excellent work! A bit outdated lore-wise, but a really good format nonetheless. Subscribed!

Thank you, my friends have been slowly getting me to like warhammer. This video series will help.

Death of Guilliman? My man's alive and well for years now, whaddayamean

For him on Terra. Glory to Mankind and The Emperor, beloved by all.

Love it! Will we be getting an update for M42 explaining Primaris Marines and how their squads are integrated into structure?

"The space marines are the greatest of the Emperors warriors" *Chuckles in Custodes*

I always chuckle when i drive past an Ultramar gas station, saying "For the Emperor" to myself

Such fun

Space Marine squads are 10 men strong by default, regardless of company or role until you reach heavily specialized units like Eliminators or Centurions. They can break into 5 man units, but that’s only temporary and not part of the formal organization structure. Lieutenants are part of the Captain’s command structure, and his command squad has an *assigned* Apothecary and Chaplain. They’re not there by default, because within a chapter, the Apothecaries, Chaplains, and Librarians are a different internal entity. And that command squad is usually (at least in compliant chapters) made up of the 1st Squad of the company. 1st Squads are veteran squads, that sergeant is next in line for leadership of the company, be it as a Lt or as the future Captain himself.

This really puts into perspective the video games they appear in.

First got into Warhammer 40K so long ago studying the chapters of the Ultra Marines so glad you made video on this level of detail and presentation was fantastic. Thank you!

Well, I enjoyed watching stuff about the Romans, so Space Romans are naturally the next course. When do we get to Space Crusaders, i.e. Black Templars?

do people notice that the most succesive armies are the ones that use combined arms in one way our another,

*Codex Compliant* Proceeds to use the chapter that has literally burned other chapters to the ground over compliance; while fielding over 5.000 battle brothers. Codex compliant my throbbing geneseed.

Man the timing on this video is eery, I guess theres a lot of people getting into WH models like I just did because of the holidays

A minor correction: You mentioned at 4:35 that Robot Girlyman is dead but he very much is alive in the setting. This is only a small mistake though and you guys did an awesome job.

For the Emperor!!!

Thank You, great illustrator for this respectful documentary to the Emperor's Angels.

Wow huge props for this video great work.

These numbers are so ridiculously small for an empire spanning the entire galaxy.

The Ultramarines are known for being non compliant to the codex in terms of their size. It's also nearly impossible to know the true size of a chapter because they tend to be spread out under different Captains.

Ultramarine Dreads with Blood Angel iconography... WHAT IS THIS HERESY?!?!?! On a more serious note, amazing video!

I remember a picture in a late 90s early 2000s era white dwarf of someone’s collection of an entire ultramarines chapter...

*laughs in black Templar*

Something I thought you'd never do. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

The whole company organisation thing is (feels) strangely clever

Finaly! an interesting 40k video. William King wrote a the great first 3 Space Wolf novels that show the rise of an aspirant through the ranks. "Space Wolf", "Ragnars Claw", "Grey Hunter". The Blood Angels have a good aspirant book too. The new book dedicated to it's chapter master. The book is just called "Dante".
