Writing is so crappy, i cant buy the game
I tried to watch the all the scenes on youtube but fail to get to the dropship landing. Wow I can not believe a space marine sargeant questioning his captain with a but... Did not think a space marine would question or doubt anyone who served the long watch. Let alone question their chapter of making a young primaris. Just a glance would needed for a space marine to understand every honor ribbon, the chain, the number of studs. There should be nothing but respect seeing such a veteran. Inwardly should be like "Hot damn, we got total badass leading us today! Gotta put my best game today."

They should all be mediating for the drop, watch Astartes, those are space marines. Instead, you ruin decades of lore you been ramming down our throats with this opening. The writer should be fire, those in GW who authorize this garbage should considering finding a new job. They have no idea what it is to be a space marine, let alone the ultramarines.

What happen to the vaulted space marine brotherhood? Questing and doubting a veteran battle brother? Sorry, cant buy this ♥♥♥♥.

questioning and doubting a veteran battle brother is exactly how titus got into the deathwatch in the first place

Have you read any novels about the Ultramarines?

The Ultramarines are based around Greek/Roman culture and a big part of the Ultramarine lore is that they have their councils and meetings, and titles and ranks and all that jazz. But ever since Guilliman disappeared and Terra decided to split all the legions into chapters there's this endless power struggle within the chapter and between the different founded chapters from the Ultramarines. With Calgar heading one of the many factions and other named characters others. They are mostly working together and praising each other, but they are as likely to doubt the purity of each other's actions, or criticizing how well someone follows the codex astartes etc. So that is and has been a big part of the Ultramar politics in which the chapters are involved.

And then we have this game in which we have Primaris Marines. Most Primaris marines are new, fresh, they've been reared for a certain task (usually in 3 man squads) and feel very entitled about everything. They don't have any history of the Primarch, nor the Chapter masters even sometimes. Nor the Heresy or when their legion was a legion instead of a chapter. So they're the new kids on the block, they're cocky and all want to show their skills over others to earn the next rank and fill in that achievement box etc.

I am old school who play 40k Roleplay and tabletop. From the post I see, none of you know what a space marine is. Read the rulebooks, the lore writing is total badass. They stuff you guys support is nothing but wannabee spacemarines from another dimension.

Sigh, I guess I am the only purist here. Sorry troubling you all for believing the lore from the rulebooks.

Ah. A fellow table topper.

Yeah. Funny how committed normies are to the fluff. Fun game all the same though, just remind yourself, it’s popcorn Matt wardian era inspired lore, ie, one step above average Hollywood movie.

People love using buzzwords when they have absolutely nothing to add to a discussion. Go back to school kid

"go watch Astartes" You mean... The non-canon fanmade animation... (a bad ass one I might add I won't take that away from it) but Titus got put in the DEATHwatch (who tf is the long watch?) due to suspicions from a sgt, and unfortunately as is stated in game that suspicion is going to be with him for the rest of his service.

Idrk anything about warhammer lore but didn't they make Astartes canon? I thought they put it on their official website now and everything

Ah, I didn't realize they hired that animator and made it canon. Either way it was made canon after the whole space marine deal, however it was a very poor comparison either way as they never actually talked in that video, most of the time they just looked at each other.

Friend, of course these are artistic assumptions. If they acted like real spacemarines according to lore, there would be no storyline, they would silently kill everything in their path.

Probably the same guy who cant move past all of your First Born becoming legends in the GW rules aren't ya?

Like it or not, Primaris are here to stay and are younger and more fresh and more willing to question something they are not familiar with when dealing with a 200 year old LIEUTENANT (He was stripped of Captain, if you know the lore, you should be able to identify it from his helmet)
