You are a Space Marine of the Ultramarines, two hundred and eighty years old, and the things coming up that road were Space Marines too, once. Ten thousand years ago they betrayed the Emperor and gave themselves to a god of plague. This is the Plague Wars, lived from inside the Ultramarines. At first the plague comes in small bites: a poisoned well, a water station where the water turns green, the dead who get up and walk. Then a plague fleet breaks the outer fleets of Ultramar, led by Typhus, with Mortarion behind him. A street on Espandor held beside the Ultramar Auxilia, the Primarch Roboute Guilliman coming back for his counterattack, and the Ultramarines fighting beside the new Primaris Marines for the first time. Then the message that the Death Guard have landed in the Crown Mountains, in the valley where you were born, and a shepherd's wall that runs across the only path up the mountain. A lord of the Death Guard with a rusted scythe. A friend with an iron arm. And the highest honour the Chapter can give. Part 5 of THE SPACE MARINE: the last part of your life as an Ultramarine, told in pixel art, faithful to the Warhammer 40,000 lore. It works even if you have seen nothing before: your life begins at ten years old, on a cliff, with a ram (Part 1). Parts 1 to 4 are in the series playlist. The sound is kept soft all the way through: good for a long listen, or for falling asleep to. If you woke up one day in the dark, what is the first thing you would want someone to read to you? Tell me in the comments.

Where the sources disagree, the video follows one of them and says no more than they do; that is why it gives no year. You, Brennus, your squads, the Primaris who trains with you, the attack on your valley, the house, the sheepfold wall and the small scenes between the battles are our own invention.
