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

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?

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Laughs in Black Templar

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

This was absolutely amazing, well done! I can't wait for part 2 and would love to see videos like this for all the chapters. Especially the more unique ones!👍👍👍

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!

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

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

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!

The quality of this video is just next level. I love learning about the Space Marines.

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 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

The quality of this video is impressive, looking forward to Part 2!

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.

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

This is amazing. Big fan of your channel and can't wait for part 2. This is so awesome!!!!!

This video was such a nice surprise! Love your style and I feel it's a great fit for 40k.

Amazing stuff, thanks a lot Invicta

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

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

Absolutely outstanding work. I look forward to you next video.

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

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

This is what I need more of. Nice work!

Love the 40k lore content, it's just such a fascinating universe equally as compelling as our own.

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

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

This was awesome! Please keep them coming

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

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

This video is pure gold, can't wait for part II.

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.

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

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.

Wow huge props for this video great work.

Loved this! One thing I would say, is sergeants in reserve and scout companies are typically veterans of the chapter as well, who may not be 1st company or have been and have chose to take the daunting task of leading the chapters newer Astartes!

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!!

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

Great video. Best presentation of the chapter organisation that I've seen.

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

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

Wow, didn't know what to expact but this looks and sounds on point. Can't wait for part 2.

Oh, boy! I am literally salivating at this! Thank you!

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 😂

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

It’s a 100% quality work for this video!

This was awesome, can't wait for the next part

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.

I'm a big fan of Warhammer 40,000 and I've always been fascinated by the Space Marines. This video was really informative and it helped me to better understand how Space Marine chapters are structured. I also learned a lot about the Ultramarines, which is one of my favorite chapters.

Thanks you so much for awnsering all my questions

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I could give you more likes! Im excited for part 2!

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.

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.

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

I’d love to buy a poster of all the companies lined up with their respective rosters! Amazing work as always

Brilliant video looking forward to part 2 👍

Absolutely beautiful. Narrator fits perfectly

Such fun

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

I was looking for a video on this. Thank you.

Yes!! Finally another 40k video!

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

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

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

Well made! I was hoping you'd do more videos like these on this topic like you did on Rome!

Lore accurate smurf village

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?

Really nice Invicta. Top quality.

This was epic and very instructive I’ve subscribed 🔥🔥🔥

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.

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

YES! What an awesome surprise for a video!

Emperor be praised, i definitely need more of these videos so good, well thought and extremly interesting

Brilliant guide. Well made and implemented 👍

For the Emperor!!!

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.

Absolutely amazing! Thanks

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