It’s been a journey watching the Astartes film series unfold. From awesome episodes to channel hijacking, the final episode drops today. check this out.
If you’ve been following the ASTARTES channel on YouTube, you know that we’ve seen some incredible animation. There’s no talking in any of the films but watching these Marines rip through a bunch of Traitors gives you chills. It definitely shows off the capabilities of power armor (i.e not what you see on the tabletop). If you haven’t seen all the episodes, we’ve got them all here for you to help get you hyped for what’s about to drop.
Astartes- Part One

Space Marines are preparing to breach into an enemy ship from some kind of assault shuttle. They perform their blessing rites over their Bolters and lock into the rig.
Astartes- Part Two

Space Marines breach the hull of the enemy ship after surviving enemy fire. Then, proceed to do what Space Marines in the lore. They walk through enemy fire and obliterate the problem in a matter of minutes.
Astartes- Part Three

The video shows the Astartes making some serious headway into the ship they boarded. The Heretics inside scramble to find the weaponry powerful enough to crack the Space Marine’s Ceramite. However, like usual, the Marines walk through the fire with no issues and continue deeper inside.
Astartes- Part Four

After wading through small arms fire from Traitors, the Space Marines seem to have met their match. Two Psyker-like enemies are guarding some kind of Vault and the Space Marines pull off a mean ambush.
Astartes- Part Five: The Final Episode In The Series

ASTARTES- Part Five drops today, 5pm EST. While it may be the last episode for the story, the creator of the channel also gave us this:
This marks the end of this chapter of the Astartes project. What comes next? Well, I’d love to continue! I have many 40k stories I’d like to tell and I already know where I want to take things next if the support is there. Also with the experience gained, raise the quality, enlist key help and bring episodes to you quicker!
He’s already got more plans ahead for different films. The qualifying element looks to be fan support. As we all know, animation as smooth as this can take a hot minute to pull off. Especially for one person. There’s got to be a real passion behind this sort of thing. If you love the ASTARTES series and are wanting to see more from the channel, make sure you show some love on his Patreon.
What do you think will unfold in Astartes part five? Will there be a treasure, a hostage, or maybe a relic inside the vault? What’s another 40k short film that you’d like to see? Would a story on Necrons or Eldar be sweet to watch?
