Astartes

GW is a whore that would sell their properties to any video game developer willing to advertises their plastic toys. Seriously, there are indie studios I've never heard of that managed to convince GW to somehow support them creating a 40k video game.

This scene belongs is fucking kino

Need a gif of spess mehreens running with a caption of >On my way to fuck/purge your girl

how long did this take for him to make something remotely this good? 5 years?

five months between this vid and the last, and probably longer than that

Damn that was good.

That fat fucker can run Jesus Christ

Nintendo and Disney are really harsh, but that's an IP protection thing
GW used to be even worse, but now as long as it gets money, or it's stuff isn't being used to make money, it doesn't care.

Their more lax attitude is a very, VERY recent thing. Like just in the last year or two.

They are the reason "Turn Signals on a Land Raider" got shitcanned a long time ago. It was only allowed to come back recently.

GW tried to sue other companies over the stylistic use of pauldrons.

Autism. Plus $$$ =/= effort

This, it's beautiful. Just wish Tau got as much love.

So assuming someone had the time and energy to do a really good 2d warhammer short, which race would you want to see get highlighted? Personally I feel like Orks would fit it the best.

Wait, TSOLAR is back?
And also we're getting semi regular Outsider updates and last year there were several new pages for Gone with the Blastwave.
What is next? The comeback of LucidTV?

Imperial Guard. Preferably from the perspective of one of their elite, meme regiments like Death Korps or Catachans.

>user he said different race. IG are humans just like spess mehrens
Fuck off. They might as well be different species.

People really like to depict marines as chunkers that waddle around battlefield, but in fluff those fuckers can hoof it in upwards of 50 mph / 80 kph

Isn't it because their armor is wired into their nervous system so it becomes more 'weightless' to them?

Sincere question, but how the fuck has there never even been an attempt at a warhammer 40k film?

That and the genetic modifications like the Ossmodula and Biscopea which just pumps them full of growth hormone, causing them to grow into Brick Shit Houses, and their extra heart, lungs, and brain implants so they never tire out.

>no 40k film

They did, it was even animated. But it's on the Ultramarines and the characters have figurine proportions which look really off when paired with the dated animation.

Attached: hqdefault.jpg (480x360, 37K)

We had one animated film, but it was pretty meh from what I've heard and it was straight-to-dvd.

The setting is so bonkers and over-the-top that if you wanted a serious adaptation of it, it would probably be the most expensive production ever. It really does put Star Wars and MCU combined to shame in terms of scale, epicness, and hijinks.

And here's the most important part;
if you want to gauge the chances of success of a 40k movie, all you need to do is take a look at Detective Pikachu.
That movie is based one the most profitable and one of the most iconic media franchises ever in human history, and SEVERELY underperformed and barely scratched past $300 million.
How do you think something like 40k, which is nowhere near as iconic or family friendly as Pokemon, will fare in theatres?

But a lot of marvel movies people swore up and down would bomb early on because the characters were literally whos, including iron man, ended up being hugely successful.

I don't think 40k is even that hard a sell considering how ingrained space marines fighting dark space shit is in the public consciousness.

The marvel movies did well not because of the characters, but because of the faces behind the characters. Normies like to see the actors first, characters second.

So you're telling me we need a 40k movie with Keanu Reeves as an inquisitor

Yeah.
Or maybe hire Karl Urban to play a borderline sociopathic Imperial Guard officer or something.

>but because of the faces behind the characters. Normies like to see the actors first, characters second.
This man was in a dead end career before Marvel
It's the movie quality, not simply the actors.

>It's the movie quality, not simply the actors.
It stopped being about quality at some point. Now, it's just brand loyalty and consumerism.

Pretty sure it's blood. It only shows up when he's getting crushed and his lens cracks.

People knew RDJ for being a junkie, but NO ONE doubted his acting chops and charisma.
Not even back then.

I will always disagree with people that irrationally hate on MCU film and call them capeshit.
IMHO, the quality has only improved.

So if these Space Marines are so fucking powerful they can juse insert into an enemy ship and demolish fucking everyone, how is this even a war?

They were fighting against what looked like non-Imperial aligned humans.
It's the equivalent of a level 100 epic-tier hero fighting against level 20 heavily-armed bandits.

The bandits are tough, but next to the hero? Small potatoes.

Decaying empire vs superior enemies.

Endless ejaculation, man

Because spess mehreens are in limited number. They're basically some of the big cocks of the universe, but they're spread out over a lot of planets. The human empire has been rotting for a while now and is barely holding it together.
Not to mention there's literally chaos space marines, who are just as tough.

Because there are only about 100,000,000 to fight the whole galaxy, and half the time they’re fighting there evil brothers.

Because there's shit out there that makes spess muhrens look like little more than tin cans

Attached: Carnifex.png (928x1281, 1.37M)

There's only like a 100 000 of them actually left in the entire galaxy, the means of creating the bio-engineered implants necessary to turn a human into one has been lost to history, so they've been forced to carve out organs from dead marines to stick into recruits, which leads to mutations, plus there's the fact that a recently a big fuck-off rift in space-time has cut the galaxy in half and deamons have destroyed a good chunk of an already decaying empire.

Shit's fucked yo

more like 1 percent of that number innit? Unless the fluff changed and the +/- 1 mirrion marines in the galaxy figure changed

The enemies that they can just demolish outnumber them by a million to one or more. The ones that don't are a lot tougher. Space Marines don't measure up very well on an individual basis against a C'tan shard, for example.

At it's height the Imperium of Man spread across a million worlds but at the end of the Horus Heresy there were only 900,000 (give or take a couple hundred thousand) loyal Space Marines left. You measure that against the Navy and Guard which number in the billions (combined with the different Planetary Defence Forces who number in the tens of billions) and the SM are a super limited resource.

from what i know, i don't think the million space marines count has changed

They live in a galaxy where there's space orks who can make shit happen through pure dumb belief and multiply through spores and get stronger the more they fight and band together into almost uncountable hordes

There's alien bugs from outside the galaxy that are so numerous they put the space orks numbers to shame and their collective hive mind is so strong it shuts down other psychics who regularly deal with the powers of hell itself that constantly mutate and adapt to whatever manages to kill any significant number of them who exist with no other purpose than to devour entire planets

There are legions of soulless robot egyptians who have been asleep for longer than there have even been humans made of living metal that regenerates itself from almost anything but instant and total vaporization and whose tomb-fortresses can be right under your nose and you wouldn't know until they start crawling out of the fucking ground and annihilate everything in their path with atom-stripping guns

There's ALWAYS something bigger, meaner, and more numerous than you

Not a fair comparison. A fair comparison would be Warcraft. I think a great trailer goes a long way in terms of box office, and Detective Pikachu with the 56% lead put me off. Also pokemon shouldn't be fucking cyberpunk shit.

the laxness is a recent new strategy of theirs. Manly because someone finally explained to them how the internet works.

After which you can hear and see the Cameras readjusting onto the target. You can literally see each individual sensor lense in the shot where he finally gets the stab through

Really, really REALLY love this series. best thing anyone's done with the franchise since forever. are those dudes like heretic electro-priests or something?

also they were right to not have dialogue. it works fantastic as a silent series

how do I begin making stuff like this? I want to make a cool 3d animation but i don't even know how to do 3d models or anything

you learn, for starters

how do I learn this kind of stuff?

most people tear out an eye and throw it in a well and use the gift of arcane knowledge

>are those dudes like heretic electro-priests or something
Unknown. They could be Dark-Mechanicum electro-priests or heretic psykers. There's also a theory that they're loyal Mechanicum and this is an astartes chapter raiding a gene-seed vault, loyalist on loyalist crime as it were.

...

if it worked for odin.....

thanks, I will see what I can see.

Could this be heresy?

Now I'm not Th e biggest fan of wh40k (too grindark for me taste) BUT HOLY FUCK THIS IS HYPE!

Yeah, but everyone doubted he'd be able to last an entire movie shoot without a relapse or going to prison.

Borderline.
So long as he refrains from fucking an Earth caste shortstack he can be placed in a penal legion.

aren't the tau weirdly anti-sex and more eugenics-based? like, fucking other tau is deviant behavior and you only have babies with another tau when told to by a superior?

Seems unlikely, they’re way too overpowered to be a couple of priests. If they’re admech why not have skitarii around or any of their usual iconography? All the glowing and culty masks make me confident they’re psykers

Also unless the opening crawl is flat lying the spess bois are there tracking down traitors from the rebellion that was just quashed

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh

Just let us have the blueberry porn man aight

True. Counterpoint, the Farsight enclaves.
Tau poon is still on the menu if you've got the heretical balls to go for it.
Probably won't survive getting there, but this is 40k. You're going to die anyway so it might as well be while trying to get balls deep in strange.

That said, best stay away from Commorragh

Well that's just common sense.

Fuck off Tzeenchfag
You go to an emperor approved university that isnt in the eye of California and full of calarts deamons

Orks are good if you want humour. Read Deff Skwadron.

The Farsight Enclaves still practices eugenics and uses the Gestation Towers of the central Tau Empire in their own territory. They still view the specialties of the separate castes as the source of their strength. What the Enclave rebels against is the Ethereal use of mind control to influence the other castes thoughts and actions, and for Farsight personality it has to do with how he thinks the Tau should be dealing with the threat posed by the Immaterium.

Yeah, it is synchronised to their nervous system so there is no lag. They also have generally much more powerful muscles which coupled with their height gives them very high speed.

Sisters of Battle can get to pretty high running speed too due to their armour but they don't have the manoeuvrability of marines.

Still a better chance than trying with the Main Tau empire.
1 out of a trillion is still 1 after all.

The misadventures of trollzyn the infinite

The problem is that you if you actually put the setting on screen things get kind of tough. Imperium makes Nazi Germany from war time caricatures look like a nice place.

You still have it backwards. You'd have less of a chance in the Farsight enclaves. They've started quarantining their Non-Tau population since they started showing warp taint from the Immaterium, even expunging populations that are too far gone. So not only would you have a 0% chance because Tau aren't sexual creatures anymore, you'd also be put in a progrom, sterilized, then shot.

I think got a little muddier on exact numbers, due to constant crusades, chapter splitting an so on, but the maximum estimate never got over 10 million.

They are very weak, barely above street level psykers, that were augmented by pricey tech cause they worked for rebel nobles.

This, even some of the more 'gritty' and 'dark' sci-fi franchises like halo all boil down to HFY and only make refrences or very short looks into the morally questionable shit they do which after the fact are justified becus saved humanity.

Well that was always the kind of point. The Imperium was never meant to be something you look at as good.

You'd want something like Judge Dredd. Make it cool enough and no one will care that there are no good guys

I always thought it'd be awkward for a Crisis Suit to do melee, their shape doesn't lend to being agile at all.

The Nazi's just burned your corpse, the Imperium will put the fucker to work in a factory making other corpse robots because someone needs to move all the corpses.

People cheer for the galactic Empire, user, even when they're unquestionably portrayed as The Baddies.

I think you could get away with showing off the Imperium, cyber-cherubs and all.

The author gave some background info. The ship being boarded belonged to a failed planetary rebellion that the Retributors (The Astarte's Chapter name) are cleaning up. The two Psykers we see are a sub class of the Nobility who led the rebellion. Though only of typical Psyker strength (Iota) the use of augmentations (The spinal augment) artifacts (their Masks), and weaponry (The force staff held by one twin) as well as working together they pose a threat similar to an Epsilon or perhaps even a Delta class Telekinetic Psyker depending on which fluff you're going by.

Just make a Space Wolf movie about them reeeing at Inquisition purging some poor people because there was a daemon on the planet's other continent.

Nah you definitely want Orks, Tyranids or both.
Something clearly ultra-bad for the not-good Space Marines to kick ass.
Hell, maybe Chaos.

I always thaugt the hypothetical choas invasion of Armageddon that toatally didnt happen would make a good movie if told from the perspective of an imperial guardsman .

Well, Officio Assassinorum through the use of very costly bling makes people into monsters capable of wrecking 10-20 marines. Thing is the cost is really astronomical.

no executive meddling

Daddy E's Webway was for Eldar hookers my dude

But the Astartes decked in all-but-impenetrable armor and plasma guns aren't ?

The Emperor truly wanted the best for humanity

Being a human must suck.

Humans do have the ability to commit ritual mass suicide to reincarnate as god like beings

Yes but then you're 1/10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000th of a Chaos god's toe.

My dream 40k media would be about a rogue trader crew. This way you can have a diverse cast and represent basically all of the races aside from Tyranids and Necrons, and have the leisure to explore any part of the setting.

>getting shot to pieces by Orks
>eaten alive by horrifying Tyranid bugs
>literally, LITERALLY raped to death by roaming BDSM space elves IF YOU'RE LUCKY
>tossed into a literal hell by Chaos infected Space Marines who may infect you with terrible diseases, blast you with sound loud enough to liquefy your organs, or just tear you limb from limb depending on whatever particular band of assholes comes across you
>killed by your own side because your neighbor so much as sneezed Chaos and the Inquisition declares exterminatus on your entire planet
>have your soul eaten by the Emperor to keep him on the cusp of death and to keep an army of demons from tearing Earth to shreds
Or you can be born into a hive city, crammed into a freaking man made mountain with billions of others and be brutally murdered by a gang for your shoes. There pretty much isnt a single place in 40k where your odds of a agonizing death dip below 95%

I mean the guard is comfy up until you have to fight something that is better than the guard.

Which is pretty much everything except rebels and maybe Tau.

Look maybe you get lucky and die of old age before you have to fight.

Being in the Guard pretty much guarantees you'll be up against something that can and will kill you in a gruesome manner. That is if the local Commisar doesn't BLAM you for so much as looking away from the front line

And that alone makes you out and out the most powerful none warp beings if the emperor is the prime example. Not to mention the chaos gods don't give a shit about the materium as long as they get power.

Emps did go out of his way to fuck them over and had the knowledge and resources to acctually do it. I theyd give a fuck if you just used the power to live comfortably.
