DuskSniper's video: His Proud Sons Adeptus Astartes

In Tribute to the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines. Audio is "Proud Sons" from the Ultramarines the Movie Soundtrack. Credit to all the artists who made these great pictures!!! Lyrics: "From Ancient Terra the Emperor commands His Proud Sons." "From revered Blood-stock these Warriors are made His Proud sons." "No fear they shall know as Adeptus Astartes, His Proud Sons." "Humanity's foes they lay dead at the hands of Astartes, His Proud Sons" "Warrior's merit Unbreakable spirit, Astartes!" "To many enemies, Unchallenged in Battle Astartes!" "Warrior's merit Unbreakable spirit, Astartes!" "Courage and honor, Unbroken in Battle, Astartes!" The Space Marines: The Adeptus Astartes (commonly known as Space Marines, and colloquially as Angels of Death) are the most elite and feared fighting forces of the Imperium. The primary unit of organization is the Chapter, a self-contained army fully equipped with its own transport, non-combatant support staff, etc. There are around a thousand Chapters, each comprising a thousand Space Marines. There are far too few Space Marines to form the Imperium's main military forces; instead they operate as highly mobile strike forces. They are entrusted with the most dangerous missions, such as lightning raids behind enemy lines, infiltration, and tunnel fighting. Through selection, training, and conditioning, Marines are physically, mentally, and spiritually superior to any other Imperial soldier. The first Space Marines were created from the genetic material of the Primarchs after they were spirited away from the Emperor by the Gods of Chaos. Twenty Legions of Space Marines were created, each from the genetic material of a specific Primarch. The Legions took part in the Great Crusade, during which the lost Primarchs were rediscovered and given command of their respective Legion. The Crusade, lasting for two centuries, ended with the treachery of one of the Primarchs, Horus, who lead at least half of the Legions in a rebellion known as the Horus Heresy against the Emperor. In the final battle for control of the future of mankind, Horus was slain by the Emperor. With the rebellion defeated, those Legions which had sided with Horus were driven into the Eye of Terror. The Legions which had remained loyal were eventually reorganized according to the dictates of the Codex Astartes, in the event known as the Second Founding. Each Legion was divided into several autonomous Chapters, which remain the primary unit of the Space Marines to the current day. Successive foundings over the millennia have created new Chapters. There are now around a thousand Chapters in existence, each Chapter ultimately descending from one of the loyalist Legions. To some extent, the Chapters maintain the traditions and character of the Legion they descend from. Chapters adhere to the Codex Astartes in differing degrees, some regarding any deviation from it as virtual heresy; others, notably the Black Templars, Blood Angels, Space Wolves, and Dark Angels, only following the Codex in the broadest matters. ---- I was inspired to make this video after viewing a video made by 2SSSR2 using a different version of lyrics with audio.
