New Amazon Prime Series will have an episode depicting Titus in SM2

not to be a BUTT.... But, that certain marine is over 10,000 years old primarinade, as he was taken FROM CALTH as child, when word bearers attacked.  Then made into primarinde adn tossed into statis chamber.

I won't lie, as much as I liked the character, which I absolutely did, I did find the whole "on Calth as a child" thing a bit weird, but then I really didn't care for the "thousands made immediately post-Heresy and put in stasis for 10,000 years" bit of Primaris fluff. I think it would have worked better if he'd just been a child on another nameless world that suffered a Chaos incursion; making him a survivor of Calth seems a bit...I don't wanna say Mary Sue-ish but it certainly feels that sort of way. And again- I really liked him as a character.

 

Reddit is a cesspool though. r/40K vs r/HorusGalaxy is probably just another idiot fight and I wouldn't take either side. The fact r/HorusGalaxy split off over a "Warhammer Is For Everyone"* debate is rather telling, I feel.

 

 

*No, Warhammer is not for "everyone" as NO hobby is for everyone. The very nature of a hobby with specific appeals means that some people will not enjoy it, and that's OK. If you don't drink alcohol then wine tasting isn't going to be for you, for instance. Attempts to make Warhammer "for everyone" have watered down the setting(s), see: TOW getting "problematic" elements like Savage Orcs and any mention of slavery removed.

Warhammer is for anyone, not everyone.  But I’m any case. Looking forwards to seeing this trailer when I get home

Thanks for explaining the reddit drama - I don't follow such things so was not aware. 

 

I would agree with earlier comments that the less that silly stuff is debated, the better. Just hyped for the episode and any future content it may well spawn. The more mainstream exposure our hobby gets, the more likely we get some more awesome shows/animations/films - same goes for a number of these other franchises they are effectively promoting with this show (except Concord, perhaps. RIP. Perhaps the creators of that will at least get a good send-off with a decent episode)

It feels like learning to filter out the nuttier opinions you occasionally hear from people who really know nothing about the hobby, its enjoyers and its history is something of a coming of age ritual in 40k. These are a vocal ball of silly folks who are a small subset of the already small subset of a niche hobby that have the free time to babble incoherently on the internet. Calling them fans of the setting is a bit of a stretch.

 

I will gladly be called a gatekeeper on that score. Its fine to be new but its kind of amusing to see people claim to be authorities of something they literally know nothing about.

 

Same as the occasional outbreak of journalists desperate for clicks that stumble on the setting and issue a blanket statement that the mainstream of us would love to be part of a society that would unironically eat us (to the point that memers successfully tricked us and GW into thinking Corpse Starch is people). Because, again, they can't be bothered to read up the stuff.

 

It would take all of two minutes to knkw that Calth was essentially a model world for the single most utalitarian being in the Imperium that also settled colonists from alot of places on top of also seeing alot of veterans retiring there from literally the massed armies of humanity.

 

To think someone couldn't be from Calth because of their most directly mappable ethnicity to us is hilarious and requires actively knowing nothing.

 

Pardon the rant, its just super annoying to have people claim to be authorities without even the laziest amount of research.

Another new trailer, I don't think there's a ton new though;

 

 

[Jalleo]

There is a website referenced and a code to input from the trailer. Not anything majorly interesting though unless you want a collectors thing from a game if you missed it before.

[Carach]

Is the kid in the trailer child-Titus? Are we going to get some flashbacks?

Titus has some (slightly less dazzling) blue eyes, if you go frame by frame in the trailer.

 

Psyker person seems to appear in half-frames throughout the rapid-succession frames.

 

Kind of sounds like Edris Elba, too. Though it might just be someone with a similar voice - surely that guy can't be *everywhere* ?

As a design junky the helmet compressing onto the wearer instead of just slipping on, so good. 

I'm here for this!

I would Imagine he voices this character:

 

[Cenobite Terminator]

Can’t until this comes out.

[Kenzaburo]

So, wait, it's gonna be set after SM2? 

 

I mean, as someone stated, that explains the laurels on Titus' helmet, but it's gonna be interesting who the marines by his side are. I'm hoping for more of Strike Team Titus, but without wanting to spoil anything, the end of the game would suggest a different line-up.

 

On a less related note: Man, Titus, Chairon and Gadriel really grew on me. I'd also like to see more of the other squad members that you will usually control during operations. They all seemed rather interesting for that short times you got to see them.
