I wonder if Oculus is trying to get the Lord Regent's attention so he can be saved from Inquisitor Callendra's wrath.
-
Ultramarines, conducting themselves like professional soldiers. Find astounding success in not suffering from idiosyncratic quirks and limitations. Other Legions: "And we took that personally."
-
Theoretical: The Ultramarines are overhyped poster boys of the setting. Practical: Their geneseed is stable, all of their implanted organs work, and they can adapt quickly when needed. They are on posters for good reason.
-
Given how close the character of Oculus is to the Avenging Son, I’m surprised it’s taken this long. It makes it so much better to finally get the record of the War-Born, the scions of the 500 Worlds.
-
I love that picture of Guilliman, Magnus, the solar auxilia , the thousand suns and ultramarines all just hanging out. It's one of the few times we get to really see what we lost because of the heresy. (or at least the important stuff that was lost)
-
I’m so happy you’re looking at the XIIIth, the Warrior Kings of Ultramar.
-
It's undeniably Warhammer 40,000 when competent professionalism is seen as a virtually unique attribute unheard of amongst all of the Imperium's armies.
-
I unironically love the Ultramarines. They are a bastion of sanity in a sea of madness.
-
In the end, 13 did end up being unlucky. That is if you're told you'd be going against the 13th legion you are very unlucky
-
“They hate us cuz they ain’t us.” Some Ultramarine, probably.
-
I always felt that the Ultramarines were built to be soldiers, where other legions tended to be formed more as warriors if that makes sense. I actually really like the ultramarines for the contrast they provide to (some) of the other legions.
-
Ayyyyye Rowboat Gorillaman is my favorite
-
7:57 "[...] the Emperor's genetic authority, the Lord of Lightning's command over the human genome itself", idk, this sentence really drives home the level of authoritarian horror the imperium is even in this early stages. I can't help but see its character condensed here - the drive for ultimate control over everything, even the molecules that make up its subjects...
-
We march for Macragge. With Courage and Honour. For Primarch and Emperor.
-
Three cheers for the Reasonable Marines. It's also worth noting that Guilliman really, really wanted to kill Gallan, but relented at the last moment and left his fate to the Senate. They were so impressed by Guilliman's restraint when realistically nobody could have stopped him that they would go on to promote Konor's dream of their own volition.
-
I love how the Space Marines were supposed to be replacements for the Thunder Warriors, because the Thundies kept going nuts and attacking people, and yet only the Ultramarines actually did as they were told reliably.
-
This video has given me a new appreciation for the idea of a Lorgar-Guilliman rivalry. Beforehand, the rivalry seemed a touch random, but Oculus really touches on an element you can see in both primarchs - i.e. massive reformation of a planets infrastructure to their vision.
-
I feel like I have always discounted Robotnik Gazpacho and his legion because theyre the 'poster boys' of the Imperium. This video gave me insight into them I'd never even considered
-
Occuli, would one consider a treatise on the Lord of the Red Talon, Autek Mor, and the chapter he founded in the Red Talons? They are intricately woven in the fabric of some of the most vile and debased periods of the immediate-post Heresy period in many shadowy campaigns against heretics and traitors.
-
For those of us who love military history & Warhammer, the Black Books/FW stuff is the lore we crave. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this down. It is greatly appreciated. Ave Imperator!
