Following the brutal Aftermath of the Battle of Thermopylae a Spartan king lay dead and the city of Athens was in flames. Now the Greek alliance stands on the brink of total defeat. Their last hope of Avenging Leonidas and turning the tides of the Second Greco Persian War lies now with the Battle of Salamis.
In this episode we break down the Herodotus account of this most famous of ancient battles. We begin with the preparations of the armies, followed by the battle plans, the mind games, and the deployment of the fleets before finally unravelling the Battle of Salamis itself.

![How Space Marines Level Up? - From Novice to Veteran [999.M41] 3D Documentary](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/g99Jq315hXw/mqdefault.jpg "How Space Marines Level Up? - From Novice to Veteran [999.M41] 3D Documentary
Lore documentary on the organization of a Space Marine Chapter! You can manage your own business with all-in-one tools on Odoo: https://www.odoo.com/r/RWDk
In this series we bring to life the True Size of a codex compliant Space Marine Chapter of the 41st millenium. To do so we explore the general history of the Space Marines from the Horus Heresy to the Second Founding and how the Codex Astartes came to be. The documentary then discusses Space Marine creation from the recruit to the aspirant and the neophyte with a Marines transformative implantation of the Gene Seed organs. We then trace the elevation of a new Space Marine Battle Brother through the ranks of the Ultramarines starting from the 10th Scout Company and up through the ranks of the 9th through 6th Reserve Companies. We then continue this journey of ascendance within the Ultramarine Chapter by looking at the 5th through 2nd Battle Companies, the Veteran Company, and finally the Command Staff of a Space Marine Chapter.
Let us know what you think of this format and what documentaries in the Warhammer 40,000 universe you would like to see us cover next.
