Astartes - Web Animation

Apparently the Astartes channel was hacked. The creator of Astartes has no access to his account and Google, is doing of course, very little at the moment.

The channel name has changed to 'Caio' and the Astartes Creator is currently working to get it back.





Let's hope they get it back soon.
 
Armor systems, not eidetic memory. If you look at Part 2, you'll see where it was also used to detect the rebel soldiers through the smoke of the breaching pods entry.
EDIT
Part 2, 0:44-0:46.

That seems to be a feat of photographic memory, as what the Astartes throws is not a smoke grenade but rather a chaff of some sort. You can see the static bouncing around in the smoke. It would have likely messed with the Astartes sensors as well. But again that doesn't matter when you've already memorized their position.
 
So some bad news. It seems like the hacking is a lot worse than we thought.

The hacker has apparently sold the channel to someone else, with that someone else trying to livestream the episodes in low quality hoping to get donations from unsuspecting subscribers.

Meanwhile YouTube is doing practically dick all to solve the situation.
 
The current Astartes channel has been deleted, either by YouTube's AI or the hacker himself.

YouTube is so fucking incompetent. The hacker has no sense of shame whatsoever. All those views and likes, gone. Even if they made a new channel, it's going to be hard to regain those numbers.

Are you fucking serious?

Jesus YouTube wtf are you doing?
 
I didn't expect that, next to no action, only horror. It also lacks the over-the-top nonsense aspects of 40k and it works better for it. Also, the fucking Land Raider at the end.

- First company marines.
- Yes, beaky helmets FTW.
- My theory is that this orb is a C'Tan shard. ( The golden giant body, the sheer freaky teleportation, the giant golden bodies looking like Necrons)
- That punchsplode plus indiscriminate bolter blasting of the Inquisitor is gif-worthy.
- Holy shit, look at that detail of the Marine's blood coagulating almost instantly.

That would be my assumption too but what about...

The Inquisitor being corrupted, (by chaos?) and the freaky visions?
 
I think I speak for all those marines when I say:



This really makes this look like basically the pre-title card intro for a 40K sci-fi horror film.

Also depending on the mentality of this chapter that dude may have secretly enjoyed punching the Inquisitor's head off.

I need a gif where the marine punches the guy's head off on repeat forever. That was beautiful.

...I seem to be literally the only guy who concluded that the Red Hood person was primarily a techpriest (if one attached to the Inquisitors for whatever reason) rather than a psyker or Inquisition commissar.

Also, I felt the tiniest bit sorry for him, given he was probably trying to warn the Astartes captain that something horrible was about to happen to the squad.

Oh I don't think he was an Inquisitor. It must have been some random spyker or techpriest. I THINK he said, "Your men are in danger."
 
One of the best details is the reflection of the captain in the guy's helmet.

People keep bringing up the Men of Gold but I think this is more of a Pontius Glaw kind of deal.

Does anyone know the chapters shown at the end? I only recognised Blood Angels.
 
That was amazing.

It's almost like the rest of canon 40k is in-universe fiction, but this is a look into the world as it actually is.
