What is Cadian?

@@Neuroprophet the planet the soldiers originally came from, called 'Cadia'.

@@Neuroprophet Cadia is one of the human worlds in the Imperium of Man inside W40K. That world is known for having some of the best Guardsmen in the Imperium, and also pretty well known for their Kasrkin (modified humans but at less extent than the space marines)

The planet fell before the Guard did. Never forget.

@@Neuroprophet the planet cadia was an imperial world located closest to the eye of terror (a big, nasty tear in the material realm that let demons and chaos marines in.) Guardsmen from cadia were known for their hardiness and skill in battle, so much so that to get past cadia and terrorize the rest of the galaxy, the forces of chaos actually destroyed the entire planet.

I thought he said “death angels”

@@rexerator I mean, yeah the Adeptus Astartes are also referred to as The God-Emperor’s Angels of Death.

@@1003JustinLaw Which is why I thought thats what he said. But it could also be “his angels”

Most of the normal army never see's Space Marines ever so when they do they see them as Angels.

a cadian wouldn't have been so helples

Was looking for someone to comment on this and yeah Cavill got me here,I'm super hyped now!!

Yeah, I kinda did imagine what the space marine who took of his helm would look like with Cavill´s face

Same bro I came because of henry

Yep, true...

And all the more pressure for them to get it RIGHT, especially with the whole Witcher and Superman debacles... That aside - he better be there as a Primaris, or - if they're starting from circa Horus Heresy - The Emperor himself!!!

When the Guardsman said "His Angels" in awe while kneeling I almost teared up a bit. I know 40K is all about grim darkness but the Space Marines genuinely provide hope for mankind.

Yes brother i like how the guardsmen say "his angels"

Remember that a vast majority of the imperium has never and will never see an astartes so they’re literally the god emperors angels gracing them with their presence. That’s before you factor in any kind of pecking order which they sit at the top of almost all of them anyway.

@@Gameguy-gk8lx I like the little detail in their eyes cadians

Hopefully it's a proper sequel to the original and not a soft reboot, otherwise we're going to have to live with that cliff hanger lol.

@@Agentcoolguy1 Weirdly Titus is a Lieutenant here, seems he's been busted down from Captain in-between games.

@@bombkangaroo Yeah, it makes sense because of the ending of the first, him being accused of heresy and all.

@@bombkangaroo Why is he wearing Primaris gear?

@@rayyanali4471 Judging by the new service studs in his forehead, the games story line has naturally progressed with the Warhammer 40K lore so him being a primaris now would make sense with regards to that

Astartes dying left and right in battle like expendable cannon fodder is nonsense. They RARELY take casualties on that scale. Astartes would’ve become extinct thousands of years ago if they died off like that.

Yeah, DoW1's intro cinematic is such a joke from a lore perspective for this reason. An entire tactical squad, plus a dreadnaught, plus a predator, all being destroyed by a mob of boyz is ludicrous. Even guardsmen should have fared better.

Wish they made the enemies a little more lore accurate even if the games take place in a different universe

@@BigMikeMcBastard Guardsman armor looks pretty basic though, pretty similiar to what soliders wear now, most of their bodies are exposed. Im not saying they should be wearing Space marine power armor but they should have armor that offers more coverage. My point is that its not hard to believe that they are dropping like flies.

@@waffle1489 warhammer 40k space Marine or dawn of war 1

@@waffle1489 As far as warhammer games go theres a load of not very good ones, but some of the good ones include space marine 1(third person shooter), dawn of war 1 and 2 and their expansions(real time strategy), battlefleet gothic 2(real time strategy), Mechanicus(turn based strategy) and darktide(co-op fps) For a few more warhammer games that are great there's total war warhammer 1-3(combo of grand stratey and real time strategy) and vermintide(fps but with magic, swords and bows), but those are based on warhammer fantasy not warhammer 40,000. So it all happens on 1 planet and has magic and swords instead of guns. Lots of the factions are either the same or similar though like elves instead of eldar, tomb kings instead of necrons, warriors of chaos instead of chaos space marines, orks are still orks, beastmen kind of replace tyranids, skaven kind of similar to genestealer cults etc.

@@zoa1064 I think he definitely helped because he did join their animation team. However, I don't think all of this is Syama's work because some of the camera work and animation is a bit different to his style. It isn't as grounded.

You are right. I feel like three different fan works compiled in here. Astartes mainly

@@KeksimusMaximus I can see the structure of the cinematic is inspired by GUARDSMAN. Think about it, Cadians in distress by Tyrannids and a Space Marine comes to their aid, the same kind of plot that was in the live-action short

@@Iris_n_Parti Yes, exactly. And the way spacemarines perform, being silent, fast and deadly is surely picked from Astartes. And that last scene with the helmet being taken off, just the whole way it's presented - Astartes again (okay this one might be a stretch, but still). It's actually a good thing that one person singlehandedly affected the whole franchise like that

@@KeksimusMaximus When the helmet got taken off and had a close up on the face I got major Astartes vibes. Didn't the guy get hired by Games Workshop? I wouldn't be surprised if he was involved in making this.

It probably was made by them, games workshop would be crazy not to hire those guys

Plus given it's Titus I'd take it he managed to sort things out with the Inquisition with the whole chaos thing

@@MrG-zn6gh Roboute might've had a hand in it

100 years. He had 2 studs in the first game, gold studs denote 50 years for most Astartes chapters (that even still use them), and he has 2 more in this one.

@@Green_Phos As far as I remember golden studs stand for a full century each.

@@Darkbart22 I've only seen gold as 50 years. But honestly, the lore is completely inconsistent in regard to this and they're just a weird holdover from the earliest days of 40K

Better have the same writer and actors in it or at least some good replacements otherwise this is a no no.

It was the first dawn of war game for me... After seeing that game intro and that was it..I was hooked.. The dreadnought appearing out of the smoke, the sergeant marine giving a fiery warcry before leading the charge towards the orks.. Goosebumps

How heretic it will be

Same for me brother!! Dawn of War was my Baptism of Imperial Fire!!

@@omaewamoshindeiru616 I can still hear that sergeant’s battle cry in my head all these years later. So badass The fact that the units would start to melee at point blank is what sold it for me. The battles felt so cinematic. Sometimes I would get so enthralled with watching them that I would forget to command. Even much newer RTSs since then haven’t been able to pull that off.

well, they don‘t quite move with as much agility as a ninja, you can clearly see just how much effort and oomph are behind each movement and attack. I do agree that their sheer mass, bulk and strength are very well depicted though. plus they certainly are much faster and more agile than a literal human tank should be, lol

the one thing this video lacks is showing astartes SPEED. AND THEYRE PRIMARIS! Maybe Titus was just being leisurely, but astartes are supposed to look freaky when they fight because no thing that huge and hulking should be able to also move with such agility.

@@justsaying6341 Lore accurate Astartes don’t feel the weight of their armor at all. It directly connects to their nervous system and is powered, acting like a second skin and boosting their already superhuman abilities even further. They are FAR too slow in this trailer. They should be moving so fast in close combat that they’re blurs to the normal human eye. No media has gotten this correct so far.

@@Gunnar001 It's difficult to do that in a game i guess ;)

@@Gunnar001 I think the closest I've ever seen was Syama Pedersen's Astartes.

What chapter are these space marines?

ultramarines@@judahschultz

For the emperor!

I like the quote, but these are Primaris--not the Emperor's astartes. Tech-heresy at best, created by Cawl--not by the hand of the Emperor. I don't think he'd approve.

It's more the imperial cult that objects to innovation. I think the Emperor would be displeased with not only the state of the empire but the culture that has arisen in his dormant state.

@@FableWolfe The Emperor spoke to Cawl from the past (using one of the people that Cawl would later absorb the mind of) and said that he would be the one to continue his work on the Space Marines. So while not the "Emperor's astartes", it was his overall plan, it just took considerably longer because it wasn't the Emperor doing the work.

It was an awesome trailer.

hope the music is good too

that they showed gameplay as well was pretty nice, THATS is a trailer.

i didn't like the bolter gun sound though. The first game had a really nice deep ring to it.

Its with 99.99% the dude who was hired by gameworkshop. You can clearly see his style.

and that nots even a lord but a low tier warrior bug, have you seen a swarm lord or hive tyrant?!

@@8narutoshodowclones ya I was using the term “lord” comparatively here, I’d forgotten what the race specific term was for tyranid and I’ve been playing a lot of total war warhammer and the term lord is used for every race.

@@8narutoshodowclones If you're gunna get technical with the guy, at least be accurate. Titus was a Captain, the rank immediately below Chapter Master (and is now a Primaris to boot), and of the Ultramarines of all legions. Swarmlords to Hive Tyrants are what Hive Tyrants are to basic canon fodder lowly Termagants. Swarmlords are the Tyranid species' strongest creature by a mile it's not even close, and Swarmlords have fallen to Chapter Masters before, Ultramarine Chapter Master Marneus Calgar. So even if this WAS a Swarmlord, it wouldn't be unreasonable to see Titus put up at least a very close fight.

Leadros was being what he THOUGHT was a 'perfect' Ultramarine. Also known as a whiny little fool.

Based off the golden pins on Titus’s head, it’s been ~200 years since the first game. It’s possible Leandros is dead by now

@@lilvampire7439 I'm gonna guess 2 - 6 hundred years at the absolute most given Titus has done his time in the deathwatch as well as gotten 2 more centuries of regular service

@@connorparfrey9191 I'm not even sure Titus completed his time in the Death Watch. It is more than likely that either a certain Arch Magus or Guilliman heard about his deeds beating a demon prince with his own fists and tanking a ton of warp energy without any sign of corruption and just decided to upgrade his to a primaris.

CADIA STANDS! THE PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD! Man, this all just makes me wonder if we'll ever get a game set in the shoes of an Imperial Guardsman.

CHAAAARGE!

Tbh was expecting the Rogue Marines plot to take flesh but we'll see how this will roll

The original writers had 3 games in mind for the story. Game 1 happened, game 2 was supposed to focus on Titus becoming a renegade but still loyalist marine. I also saw another interview claiming that Titus was also possibly going to become an agent of the Inquisition after being interrogated for decade searching for warp taint. They found no corruption so decided to use his warp resistance for the good of the imperium. Honestly both of those sound sick

It also looks like he's been demoted from captain to lieutenant. Considering how it looks like he's been absent from the Chapter for two hundred years(based on his service studs), it makes sense. They'd want an Astartes with his experience to have a command position, but his successor has likely been in command for too long to simply install him as a full captain once again.

Looks like he spent some time with the Black Templars with chain around his forearm

He is jealous, he wants to be like the marines, but deep inside he feels like a coward. Simultaneously, for the first time he sees how mighty one can be against the monsters his community has been forced to fight his entire life. For the first time he sees hope. He was saved.
