Im glad you're hitting your stride with these longer videos. This 40k lore channel will make a fine addition to my collection

My favorite use of the omniphagea was from the Ultramarines novel "Courage and Honour" when a sergeant ate a tau's brain and was able to pilot a Piranha via muscle memory. He was basically like "I have no idea what I'm doing but it's working!" lol

The difference between the two "Half-Marines" you mention, Luther and Kor Pheron is interesting. Like how almost all the Dark Angels saw Luther as a true marine and not just an equal to them, but as a second Primarch. But Kor Pheron of the Word Bearers, who was the adopted father of the primach they all loved, was looked down upon by most and they talked about him behind his back etc. Shows you how Luther could make so many join him, while the loyalty to Kor Pheron was just due to proxy and for a chance to gain a bit of extra power.

Marine: eats corpse stach Also Marine: learns the history of half of the Hive city in an instant

The concept of a marine biting on chains as the metal dissolves with acid is both amazing and terrifying

I've read this before, but listening to this really makes me think that the writers did their research before writing the Gen seed lore. All these implants seem like they would work in a science fiction post apocalyptic world. Bravo to the writers really.

Hey Wes, here's a funny story from my dad that used to work at GW in old days. When business was slow in store they used to invent mini games for the heck of it. Such as squig racing. Take a bunch of squigs. (Or any model with random movement) and draw a track like a running track on the table. Roll for movement each turn, first to get their Squig across the finish line wins. Bumping into another Squig sends them back to the start.

"Brother, the sun on this planetoid is fierce" "Got it. Going black."

the progenoid gland has a less well known but more important function aswell it doesnt just function as a data collection centre for reproduction but is also the organ that merges with the aspirants nervous system and makes it bind to all the new organs properly along with ensuring the aspirants bodys genetics are adjusted so it becomes one with the implants and does not reject it it is what merges all the previous implants together and finally makes the space marine before this stage you would have a heavily augmented human, after this its no longer human and augmentations but one posthuman also on a more mundane level but incredibly important, prevents the marine to eventually become allergic to all the weird stuff crammed into his body *4 more, in an ideal world every fallen marine produces 4 glands that can make 4 new marines thats what made previous attempts at making supersupersoldiers fail like the ravens attempt at making better marines faster made a success rate lower then 1/4, so while he was succesfull at making amazing new marines fast the project was afaliure since it would deplete the geneseed stores already low after the istvan massacre atleast until chaos helped get that survival rate to acceptable lvls

For vision, the two numbers (i.e. 20/20) represent the apparent distance versus a standard distance. The bottom number is usually 20, representing what a normal person can see at 20 feet. The top number is a representation of what the evaluated person's performance was at that distance and lower numbers are considered to be superior vision; so a number of 40 means that this person sees an object at 20 ft as a normal person would see it at 40 ft. So Space Marines probably have something like 10/20 or even 5/20 vision and thus are able to perceive at 20 ft what a normal person only notices from 5 ft away.

Judging from your rapid uploads I'm assuming you're loving the long form vids format! Dont burn yourself out Wes. Dont forget to take breaks once in a while

“Hey, Weshammer. I been a lot of your Warhammer content a lot and slowly becoming a fan of it. So I was been wondering something in my mind of the universe of 40k. And been heavily wondering what the universe would still be, if the “Horus Heresy” was prevented. If the Emperor tells his sons about Chaos and know Erebus. And also been wondering how the universe would still be if the “Horus heresy” was prevented in the year of 40k. It just bothers me of how it would be if the emperor could’ve prevented it all of this”

You’re killing it dude. I was never a fan of tik tok stuff cause it’s too short but the longer form content you’ve been putting out is brilliant. Keep em coming

I love how instead of just listing all the implants, you go into details on them and even tell us some exceptions and characters involving them.

owls also turn off half their brain to halfsleep its weird what nature is capable of sometimes its cool that something as unimaginable as never fully sleeping is actually not special at all for non humans

“Oh yeah? Give me one reason why I couldn’t beat a marine with this 1m round per minute, OR a chains-” “I SAID ONE”

"I'm about to butcher all of these names." "Number one: second heart." Sounds good to me.

Finding a long WesHammer video on my feed always puts me in a good mood

I remember reading that the Ultramarines test there aspirants in arena combat against unarmed, unarmored full fledged marines. It said that a LOT of the aspirants die by getting crushed against stone walls or pounded to pulp into the ground.
