    The guardsman fell through the floor because the weight of his balls were to too heavy.
  • @creamsicle4204
    There were no footsteps until the prayer. He was there the whole time
  • @Sith35864
    Imagine being the guardsman. Knowing you are facing certain death and your best bet is a flimsy knife. You utter one last prayer. And then you hear it. The scariest thing in the room. And hes on your side.
  • @brianhall4182
    "The Emperor protects!" "Yes. He does." I just love the ever so slight hint of amusement in the space marine's voice.
  • Xeno's #134: "Why are we waiting in the dark? Let's eat the human already!" Xeno's #156: "Look what's standing behind the human, Idiot."
  • @LEGOMANIAC419
    Guardsman: Whelp, I'm about to die a horrible death. Might as well meet the Emperor with dignity. Space Marine: RESPECC
  • @jadsmvs8651
    Guardsmen: "I'll meet the Emperor like a man." Space Marine: "This guy."
  • @Irishrebel092
    If a guardsman is lucky, they'll tell you to get out of their way instead of using you like a meat shield. But an Astartes telling you to pick up your weapon to fight next to them is the highest level of respect a guardsman can be given.
  • @PatienceKiss
    I wondered why the Tyranids were just kinda menacing in the distance instead of zerg rushing the guardsman, but then you realize there were no footsteps, the marine was standing there the whole time.
  • @titianlordsoren
    That moment when you pray to your god for help and an angel of death walks out of the shadows in answer
  • @gogogomes7025
    The fact the guardsman didn't thank the Space Marine, but the Emperor himself it's such a cool touch. That level of devotion and of true wholeharted faith in the Emperor, it's something most people forget to depict in the 40k universe.
  • @Jampolo_OG
    The only thing more terrifying than a Space Marine is a stealthy Space Marine
  • @Erotic_Hippo
    Thank the emperor the guardsmen was there to save that space marine.
  • @taylormoore5098
    "This is my lasgun. There are many like it, but this is by far the worst."
  • The space marine was like "nah I'm walking this guy to the augment table myself" this is one of our boys
  • "for every one that falls, another ten rise up to take their place" And sometimes, if the other nine are very lucky, the tenth is an Astartes.
  • @Agamembar
    Walking up behind a Guardsman and hearing him praying to the Emperor while preping his knife to go down fighting and take some Xenos with him even an Adeptus Astartes is going to think, yes, this human is a warrior of mankind.
  • @MaimutaEvoluata
    "Take up your weapon, guardsman" That's pretty much the Adeptus Astartes way of saying "Keep fighting, I got your back!'
  • This reminds me of a scene from Helsreach where Chaplain Grimaldus says “there is no shame in fear. Fear is natural, fear is human. It is what separates you from the Xenos scum. There is only shame in cowardice, in running away to let others die in your place”
