I like this guy doing a close to 40 minute play by play on a 2 minute video.

BTW great find @JSt0rm

These videos are everything right about why the internet exists.

 

[Exterous]

Man I liked those. I want to see the full story now

 

[Fanatical Meat]

I’ll admit I watched at least 30 minutes of that dudes play by play coverage.
Weird but interesting

I love in part 1 where you see those tiny humans sliding by the space marines in the hall. Its like fuck yes. And then the blessing of the bolter.

I agree, even the aloof nature of the marines, they just walk along and give zero f’s about anyone else.

I imagined psychers being smaller not space marine height.

Yeah. Im gonna watch those break downs when I get time. In the first one you see a inquisitor walking by in the hall so there are a bunch of little things.

 

[JSt0rm]

i actually reached out to the guy who makes those and im gonna feed him sound effects on request. He doesnt need editorial help as his intuition is strong but I've got the best sounds on the planet at my finger tips so ill give him whatever he needs.

Needs more Horus Heresy. The intro videos to the Dawn of War series better capture the gothic aesthetic of the 40K universe. These videos are too clean and generic sci-fi, not the legendary insanity of some of John Blanche’s work. Looks like Mk. 7 armor, but I didn’t see any chapter markings? The fun of the Astartes are the color schemes and unique aesthetic of the different chapters. This video was like watching someone field an army of unpainted minis.

Having said that, I’m surprised Hollywood has yet to tap into 40k for a movie. Would love to see an HBO or Netflix Horus Heresy series.

i liked the realistic art style. We havent seen something like this before and its refreshing.

I think the realism makes it look more like any other science fiction property. In a universe where giant demons emerge from the Warp through corrupted telepaths, mutated soldiers have open wounds with puss covered creatures chewing on their organs and you have flamethrower wielding dominatrix nuns, realism kinda kills what makes 40k so unique.

 

[JSt0rm]

yeah i disagree. Seeing to scale space marines stomping by regular humans really gets into the seed and gene stuff that rarely gets talked about.

Yeah but Astartes scale depictions usually get dangerously close to Rob Liefeld Captain America bad, and how can they depict gene stuff without showing the chapter and hence Primarch origin of the seed.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

@JSt0rm you sort of work in the industry. How does stuff like this get made? Not the technical aspect but does the dude just work on it and hope he doesn’t get a take down notice for copyright infringement from Games Workshop?

if you dont make money on the project i.e. give it away for free then you can do whatever you want.

Space marines go through a process and they really are that big in the fiction.

Yeah I’ve heard 7’ minimum height to 10’ for marines (3 meters) varies a little per chapter (I think)

I know the superhuman size is part of the canon, even more so now with the Primaris marines. What I meant is that as artistically depicted, some renderings are anatomically impossible. (little heads, giant feet)

I think you are being a little nit picky for a guy who is doing this in his spare time alone. I think what has been done here is an impressive feat.

I get it but come on it’s Warhammer, it’s not supposed to make sense it only needs to be cool.
For example best defense against space marines is just have normal sized hallways & door. Why bother placing artillery at the end of an enormous hallway. Just make the hall have a 76 inch total height

 

[JSt0rm]

if he doesnt like the scale of regular marines hope he never thinks about how they get into terminator armor.

Well all the parts are built around them by ancient machinery & tech priests chanting to the machine god to make it all work because it’s cool

perfect. Small heads and big feet for the emperor!

He got the scale and proportions right, its just lacking the bold color pallette and personality this universe is known for. I have the original plastic Imperial Space Marine and Terminator kits from when the Mk.6 marines had studs and beaks, and the Terminators primarily existed to fight genestealers.

ok so you just dont like the color choices on a fan film made by a amateur. I'll add that to my notes.
