Sadly it comes down to social hierarchy. In any industry, especially entertainment, you have to not only get known but be liked enough that others want to work with you. Over time, in the case of movies generations, this creates a group of friends who only promote people who are their buddies or look the other way when they do their bullshit. This group, as of right now, has less interest in making entertaining products and more on making products that either fit their personal niche (Look at any Oscars, the "Best movies" are usually tailored to these rich c.e.os preferences) or promote the things they want promoted. Over time, this creates a dilluted industry, where "blockbusters" are lazily plopped out that are frankly boring but successful enough to then finance their really shitty movies, and the good talent never gets picked up because they aren't one of their friends.
Besides what I'm sure is raw talent for imagining the likeness of space marines and warhammer lore, and extensive knowledge in computer graphics, the reason the quality of this is so high despite being made by one person is that he cares. You can tell whoever made these shorts loves warhammer. It's just so perfectly warhammer. Nailed. On. The. Head.
He did use some 3rd party models, but yeah, most is his work. Just shows what one dude with great skills can do. And this is the type of dude you want to throw a few hundred grand at and give a small team to make a full length movie. I am pretty goddamn sure it will be a hit and will only bring more people into the franchise.
9:34 Up until this moment, the Inquisitorial Psyker had essentially been 'eavesdropping' on the conversation between the two orbs. Such an act to carry out, let alone to do undetected by the entities, would require an ASTRONOMICAL amount of not just power, but concentration. But in this moment, he heard....something that warranted him to WILLINGLY break that concentration. If you listen carefully, it is clear he is yelling, "Recall your men IMMEDIATELY!" to the Retributors' captain. In breaking his concentration, it allows the orb to detect, then overwhelm him. The man paid the ultimate sacrifice to warn the Retributors. Whatever he heard, it must have been serious enough to be worth that price in his eyes.
If you strain you can kind of make out the conversation, or at least bits of it. I managed to get "We have failed" and "Return immediately". What I can't decide is if the orbs are Xenos or Heretic.
@@wittyreviewer Probabaly the former but with their own loophole in the Warp. Their not pure 'Alters' as I call them like the Necrons and Tau to a certain extent. They use the Warp but much like the Eldar, use special means of going around the effects.
Nodel Oliver and those are standard bolter rounds, imagine the armour piercing and hellfire rounds? The really scary thing is titans also fire bolter rounds which according to a youtuber are the size of Volkswagen Beatles. Lore fact: despite what it's name implies hellfire rounds are not incendiary shells, they are chemical ammo because they are packed with a mutagenic acid developed by the deathwatch that liquifies the targets organs from the inside similar to how some spider species inject prey with digestive enzymes, it was designed to combat the tyranids and as far as I know is the only biological weapon that works against them

In Part 4, there is a specific piece of detail I simply cannot believe I am seeing in a fan made film without any sort of professional detailing or influence. This detail is indicative of a detailed understanding of firearms. At 3:52 , you can pause and go frame by frame to see that as the Space Marine squeezes his Bolter's trigger system, it appears to have an initial "smooth" squeeze, abrupt stop, then a second stage of "firm" squeeze. This is referred to as a 2 Stage Trigger system. The 2 stage trigger system has 2 primary functions. Provide the shooter with superior accuracy on weapons that have a heavier trigger pull while acting as a addition safety measure during trigger manipulation.This entire series is riddled with detail challenging professional and commercial standards, but this....this is simply meticulous. I have not encountered an effective depiction of a 2 stage trigger system anywhere outside of real life military application. This is masterwork.
After the psycher gets his face caved in the other marine unloads a few bolter rounds into him in a sweeping motion and you can see the other guy cape move in response to the air pressure wave coming from the weapon firing.
As much as adore the Spartans from Halo and liked other super soldiers from other fictional universes. THESE guys are the epitome of what a Super-Soldier is.
Also in a bad way, though. Also former child soldiers, also from supersoldier projects that leave dozens or hundreds of dead kids who failed initiation in its wake. And also producing brainwashed psychopaths by the end of it.
@@BigMikeMcBastard Well, I mean every single member of the human race are brainwashed psychopaths in the 40k universe. The Emperor would be appalled at the state it’s been in while he was battling chaos in the Warp.
I'm so happy the creator was hired officially, but after watching the official edit of his amazing series I can't help but fear the influence that GW will force upon him. I think most people hope for the best and that more animated 40K comes out of this partnership and the idea of seeing copywritten characters animated by this creator is amazing, but I hope I'm not just wishful thinking.
They should have hired him to do more amazing stuff for them, hands off, instead they hired him to do stuff they want him to make, take his vids down off YT and slapped an Instagram filter over the originals. I don't really have hope for the continuation on this and how much they'll ruin it with their grabby hands. Going after fan made movies and either suing them or consuming them is scummy enough on its own. The amount of people that got introduced to warhammer via this, peaked their interest... Then GWs greed does its thing as it always does..
@@FloofersFX Have you seen the new Chaosgate trailer? Well more teaser but it seems like he influenced it and if he did then it looks like they gave him enough freedom to still do an amazing job!
I've read many times that people wondering if they are a real chapter or not. So they are called Retributors . it's a chapter who is operating in small numbers against high risk targets. Their emblem is a "hand holding a skull" you can see it on the left shoulder plate , you can see it on the chest plate too ( but that's the complete insignia of the chapter") They are a Successor Chapter of the Imperial Fist (7th Chapter) You can also tell the "squads" and "ranks" - The 5 Astares assualting are the 'IMPULSORs' , the symbol ("Chevron" - those upward arrows/V shape on their right shoulder plate and helmet indicates that, (they are the squad that leads the strategy , relentlessly engaging and re-deploying themself to pursuit their objective, also encouraged to act independently from other squads) The 1 who runs away after the warning at 9:40 is a member of the Tactical Squad ( "the horizontal arrow pointing both way" symbol on the right shoulder plate indicates that) The 2 who kills the "possesed unlucky one" are Veterans ( Their helmet symbol "iron cross with I" indicates that), the one who has the cape also has "Laurel Wreath" - (symbol of Military Victory) symbol on the helmet which means he has a higher Rank than the other one. (If there would be a commander his helmet would have a symbol of Skull instead of Iron Cross with a Laurel Wreath and a Golden Halo extension to it.) I hope it helps a bit for those who got confused. Cheers!
So... are they real? You gave information, but didn't establish if they're canonical or not. Anyone can make their own Chapter with lore. Hell, I've been thinking about my own Chapter that specializes in aquatic combat/deep sea missions underwater
11:23 You'd have to have balls that even Astartes would respect to pit your psychic might against Tzeentch himself... all in the effort to save the lives of Space Marines. That psyker knew he was dead the moment he made the decision. Here's to you, Psyker.
I don't think that's what that is, the psyker. From what it looks like, the second of the orb-like entities pulls the astartes strike-team into the warp (perhaps to travel?), only to then be attacked by a warp demon and immediately die. Sending the astartes flying randomly out into space onto a random planet.
@@scottstross5834 and that right there is why the future sucks because if life has taught me anything it's that red barrels always explode and you always shoot the scariest things in the room first. If this gets turned upside down I don't want to be around for it.
The Rule of Cool in full effect. Giving the 40k universe respect and breathing room, showing marines doing cool shit in their full glory, very much akin to 2003 clone wars short series where it was just purely cool shit with a story that gives enough justification.
There's a lot of trash media that focuses on trivial politics more than story, and most of them completely forget the rule of cool. Astartes is like a culmination of talent, coolness and effective story telling. Couldn't agree with you more with the 2003 clone wars comparison. I want to get on the same level of quality as astartes. It will take years and probably a little over a decade of learning and honing skills, but it is all worth in the name of producing high grade art. I want to create a sound product that people will appreciate and remember. It gives me hope that one person made this and gave a huge impact on a community of people.
I just realized the reason the Retributors are picked for this mission is that they are an imperial fist chapter decendant, and they are known for being resistant to psyker powers.
@@mustafaabbasi1073 Because Warhammer 40K is owned by the EA equivalent of tabletop/war games (Games Workshop). Hell, I'd argue GW is a couple of magnitudes more braindead and greedy than EA is. They love to copyright strike anything that gets their attention, only to then proceed to buy the guy who made the free content and put his stuff behind overpriced paywalls.
@Steven We only saw the first four. A possessed psyker is *incredibly* dangerous. Odds are the beaky marine dumped the magazine, then reloaded just to be safe.
@@mr.potato2223 Guns that are actually rocket launchers, a plasma pistol, magic(psychic), knives, limb blown off, battle of wills. What more do you want?
Thank god this video exists. GW made the creator remove the videos from his channel so this is one of the few sources with it in its original stat and high definition. They have the videos on GW website, but the audio has been changed
@Axiom Steel if he didn't agree to their terms he was 100% getting sued. Now that they've taken out astartes they've gone on a rampage shutting down fan films, The Last Church just got taken down a few days ago.
Like how there wasn’t even the slightest hesitation in punching and mag dumping that inquisitor really shows how serious the astartes are also I like how at 11:38 when the shock of being teleported wore off the marine immediately thinks “oh shit where am I”
Really goes to show how serious warp fuckery is. Technically, that inquisitor was miles ahead in authority above everyone on that ship, the inquisition itself only being held accountable by the emperor, gulliman and itself (I do not know what rank he holds within the inquisition but the job at hand looks to be of most importance so its safe to assume he is no pleb). The second he gets possesed its straight to the head exploding punch and mag dump. He probably trained for decades to even begin being a pleb in the inquisition, being one of a select few psykers who were not given as fuel to the emperor. Then its more decades of climbing ranks until being accepted as an inquisitor. Not to mention the incredible concentration and power required to monitor and spy undetected on these orbs. Then in one second of concentration breaking as he warns the astartes, the warp gets him and he gets executed on the spot. Damn.
@@Kotoy1 Something tells me he spent YEARS slowly concentrating a little more at a time to finally be able to eavesdrop. The mental equivalent to sneaking through a massive minefield, dodging spotlights, patrols and ninja-ing your way to within hearing range.
No matter how many times I see this, I still feel that is the best rendering of the Warhammer Supersoldiers to date... and I keep seeing this again and again... What confident fast paced action that shows no hesitation whatsoever on the part of the designer... awesome job!!!
What changed in the new version? Did they make the marines talk? If so they’ve half ruined the series, there’s just something perfect about the silence, the quiet intensity of the whole thing

Taco Blude you could easily call these rebels a small chaos cult, the orbs give off a pretty strong “chaos vibe” and the first test season could be about a rescue force to get that group of space marines back, honestly I saw this before i got into warhammer 40k and it helped me get into the whole fandom, this could also easily get funding, considering how high quality it is compared to a lot of stuff out there today
butter moth yes this is cool but it is a minor conflict. A full fledged show would be Horus Heresy for sure. Also it helps that Horus heresy is a full fledged popular book series already
Here's some more insane detail. Right after 5:00 less than a second later you can see when the marine enters the physkers field by the thin blue outline. I still cannot believe the insane amount of detail is this, like I've said/thought before this is an absolute masterpice.
Man my 30 ur old son showed me this today and you are so I tuned to what we both love. What an incredible vision you have and the skill to create such a jaw dropping video is inspiring. I have subscribed and can’t wait to watch this space. Thank you x
For those of you saying this man stole everything from another artist, the creator of Astartes is linked in the description, along with the creators PayPal and his patreon. He’s helping him out a lot, it’s not like he can link him in the title. Don’t hate on a guy for doing some effort that literally nobody does, because you didn’t even put in any effort to check the sources.
Thieves are the ennemies of the empire of mankind. Go check " Alfonso Montes de Oca" chanel, there is good 700views quality video on solar panels and "Deep Rock Galaxy" dance emote. A true fan of Warhammer.
I'm honestly touched by the passion and consideration that was put into this series. I wish dedicated fans had the support to do work like this on other franchises that I've grown up with like Star Wars. Because I think fans have the purest intentions with thier work. They aren't exploiting or altering the story into a cheapened money scheme.
Oh my, this is so good. I was transfixed from start to finish. The attention to detail, from visual to audio, everything has been thought out. I love it.
This is like some triple A quality. The only way one dude could have made this is tons of talent in multiple areas + many many hours of work. Not really a Warhammer fanboy myself but I definitely want to see more of this.
I was never into Warhammer, but I would watch an entire series like this. The level of detail was so well done , I felt like I understood the lore without even knowing it. Amazing.
11:30 love the sound design, he took the sound of moving around in power armor in Fallout 4 to use as mechanical sound for the Space Marine falling over, bravo man
I absolutely love everything about this. I wish more Warhammer stuff would come out like this. I’ve always been interested in Warhammer but this is just making me fall in love with it. This was too good.
"Thanks you for stealing close to 1M views from the original creator. It's better than you 3000 cumulated views of the rest of your videos about solar pannel"
@@Upolaf No, I thanked him for exactly what I intended; the combining of all the parts into a single film. Moreover, your comment is baseless. 1) You have no idea how many people, like me, saw each part when it released, and then rewatched it here. 2) You have no idea how many view _this_ video generated for the originals by crediting them. I always go out of my way to watch things on the original creator's channel to contribute to them, and I doubt I'm alone in that. People may have seen this vid first, and a portion of them would have likely have gone to the originals. Finally, your framing is bullshit, because the views here are not owed to the original. "Piracy is a service issue," as it were, and the original could have taken an extra step to create a seamless video like this. Instead, he left those views on the table; gave them up. He could have had yet another view from me if he had offered the full feature on his own channel. In short, get fucked.
You can tell that the creator of this is a true visionary because the space marines are something other than fuckin ultramarines and that they are fighting something other than necrons
Come on Netflix here you have a gold mine. Edit: yeah I wouldn't want netflix or any other media company to ruin Warhammer, but there is great content like Love, Death, Robots.
Some kind of streaming service, or GW themselves, if i were an exec in any of those situations...all you'd see are dollar signs rolling around in my eyes and a desperate scramble to get this creator on the phone!
Whatever all the other peeps are saying, and however true their points may be, i thank you for this super cut, it is convenient to watch, and you linked the original everywhere you can. All you did is offer a nice way to watch part 1 trough 5, you're not making money off of it. Thank you
@@alexsx182 judging by his sub count he never really made RUclips videos so it probably got monetized and he demonitized it shortly after. So cry me a river, because he doesn't make any money of it now. And the few cents he made didn't hurt pederson either. And even if, I donated like 5 times the amount of money to him myself that he could've made from those ads.
Why is this is the first time I watching this?!!! This might be the best fan-made project ever made. PERIOD. Looking forward for the feature length movie of this one.
It's sad that GW is ruining this now too. Their lawyers have already taken down all original copies except for this one (not sure why) and they re-uploaded on their own site with worse audio. Maybe "you will not be missed" but this series sure will be.
The better news is these animators are now working for in collaborating with GW to make follow up full feature films to these short animation's even the Astarte guy. Hopefully they don't butcher it, in they give these guy's creative freedom.
Just absolutely incredible. Is this the work of just one person?.. The cinematography is just unbelievable. I have been into 40k since 1987..rogue trader. This is what was in our hearts and imagination. There are no words.. But just.. Thank you x
Astartes marked the end of the golden age of free fan animations whereas, Helsreach fan animation by Richard Boyland marked its beginning. Between Helsreach and Astartes we've seen some truly amazing warhammer fan animation projects. One of which was death of hope which really captured the barbarism of it all. Those people really made something cool and good. Since Warhammer+ there has been little hype over 40k animations, we are getting a ton of series and some look mindfuckingly great. Angels Of Death was everything one could have hoped for, despite the areas where they fail.
I think we have a winner, from 1d4chan There is no official imagery of a Yu'Vath, but some of the Fantasy Flight Games Warhammer 40k RPG material, for which this race was created, portrays their battle constructs as crystalline spheres coruscating with dark energies.
@@knuckle1493 Except there's zero iconography that would even suggest Tzeentch, no use his symbol, no groupings of 9. While Tzeentch does have discs he doesn't have any connection to orbs as far as I know. Psykers and the colour gold are hardly exclusive to bird brain (just look at BigE) the connection is extremely weak.
Before I watched the video I was like “ I know what I’m in for, let me put my headset on and put the volume on super loud” boy did I thank myself, this beautiful piece of art is IMAX worthy
This is so intense. The pace, the scale, the vivid detail, the sound effects. I'm amped out after 12 minutes. I couldn't take a full length film. Please do it.
the music in the original is way way better than in the "official" one on the website when they took it over. I'm guessing there was some copyright stuff or something but it's just a night and day difference when everything in the video is perfection, even the smallest thing will stand out like a sore thumb
the alien space balls actually say a few recognizable words, but your point is well made, in 12 mins there is more interesting story than practically anything coming from the hollyweirdo's today.

hella punch and got your bro put some tons of bolt on the priest face is something overreact 😂
Trust me. When daemon possessions are involved, there is no such thing as overkill. Just making sure.
Thats not actually a priest but a Psyker, Priests in 40k are rarely psychic as Psykers are seen as mutants/second class citizens.

I'm so happy the creator was hired officially, but after watching the official edit of his amazing series I can't help but fear the influence that GW will force upon him. I think most people hope for the best and that more animated 40K comes out of this partnership and the idea of seeing copywritten characters animated by this creator is amazing, but I hope I'm not just wishful thinking.
Hope for the best, but with GW... prepare for the worst
Influence? I think you mean just straight up telling him what to do sadly.
they supposedly canned the project he was hired on for as well.
They should have hired him to do more amazing stuff for them, hands off, instead they hired him to do stuff they want him to make, take his vids down off YT and slapped an Instagram filter over the originals. I don't really have hope for the continuation on this and how much they'll ruin it with their grabby hands.
Going after fan made movies and either suing them or consuming them is scummy enough on its own. The amount of people that got introduced to warhammer via this, peaked their interest... Then GWs greed does its thing as it always does..
@@FloofersFX Have you seen the new Chaosgate trailer? Well more teaser but it seems like he influenced it and if he did then it looks like they gave him enough freedom to still do an amazing job!
I've read many times that people wondering if they are a real chapter or not.
So they are called Retributors . it's a chapter who is operating in small numbers against high risk targets.
Their emblem is a "hand holding a skull" you can see it on the left shoulder plate , you can see it on the chest plate too ( but that's the complete insignia of the chapter")
They are a Successor Chapter of the Imperial Fist (7th Chapter)
You can also tell the "squads" and "ranks" -
The 5 Astares assualting are the 'IMPULSORs' , the symbol ("Chevron" - those upward arrows/V shape on their right shoulder plate and helmet indicates that, (they are the squad that leads the strategy , relentlessly engaging and re-deploying themself to pursuit their objective, also encouraged to act independently from other squads)
The 1 who runs away after the warning at 9:40 is a member of the Tactical Squad ( "the horizontal arrow pointing both way" symbol on the right shoulder plate indicates that)
The 2 who kills the "possesed unlucky one" are Veterans ( Their helmet symbol "iron cross with I" indicates that), the one who has the cape also has "Laurel Wreath" - (symbol of Military Victory) symbol on the helmet which means he has a higher Rank than the other one.
(If there would be a commander his helmet would have a symbol of Skull instead of Iron Cross with a Laurel Wreath and a Golden Halo extension to it.)
I hope it helps a bit for those who got confused. Cheers!
So... are they real? You gave information, but didn't establish if they're canonical or not. Anyone can make their own Chapter with lore. Hell, I've been thinking about my own Chapter that specializes in aquatic combat/deep sea missions underwater

11:23 You'd have to have balls that even Astartes would respect to pit your psychic might against Tzeentch himself... all in the effort to save the lives of Space Marines. That psyker knew he was dead the moment he made the decision.
Here's to you, Psyker.
I don't think that's what that is, the psyker. From what it looks like, the second of the orb-like entities pulls the astartes strike-team into the warp (perhaps to travel?), only to then be attacked by a warp demon and immediately die. Sending the astartes flying randomly out into space onto a random planet.
There is nothing to imply that was Tzeentch lol. Some sort of warp entity no doubt

The Rule of Cool in full effect.
Giving the 40k universe respect and breathing room, showing marines doing cool shit in their full glory, very much akin to 2003 clone wars short series where it was just purely cool shit with a story that gives enough justification.
Shoutout to 2003 Clone Wars
That mini series was the very definition of “Star Wars” it was awesome
Goes way beyond the rule of cool. We need a new term
There's a lot of trash media that focuses on trivial politics more than story, and most of them completely forget the rule of cool. Astartes is like a culmination of talent, coolness and effective story telling. Couldn't agree with you more with the 2003 clone wars comparison.
I want to get on the same level of quality as astartes. It will take years and probably a little over a decade of learning and honing skills, but it is all worth in the name of producing high grade art. I want to create a sound product that people will appreciate and remember. It gives me hope that one person made this and gave a huge impact on a community of people.
I just realized the reason the Retributors are picked for this mission is that they are an imperial fist chapter decendant, and they are known for being resistant to psyker powers.

Like how there wasn’t even the slightest hesitation in punching and mag dumping that inquisitor really shows how serious the astartes are also I like how at 11:38 when the shock of being teleported wore off the marine immediately thinks “oh shit where am
I”
Really goes to show how serious warp fuckery is. Technically, that inquisitor was miles ahead in authority above everyone on that ship, the inquisition itself only being held accountable by the emperor, gulliman and itself (I do not know what rank he holds within the inquisition but the job at hand looks to be of most importance so its safe to assume he is no pleb).
The second he gets possesed its straight to the head exploding punch and mag dump. He probably trained for decades to even begin being a pleb in the inquisition, being one of a select few psykers who were not given as fuel to the emperor. Then its more decades of climbing ranks until being accepted as an inquisitor. Not to mention the incredible concentration and power required to monitor and spy undetected on these orbs.
Then in one second of concentration breaking as he warns the astartes, the warp gets him and he gets executed on the spot. Damn.

They're also buffed to hell and back for the video. It's awesome mind you but that twin lascannon should have fried that marine to a crisp
I cannot believe that this is a fanfilm. The storytelling, the graphics, everything is absolutely incredible!
Why isn’t this getting more funding to become an actual show because my god this would be amazing
Because it probably took him a huge amount of time to do a 12 minute video...
Capuccino Pintucciono fair enough, I meant that more as in why isn’t a larger scale studio say marvel or something like that hiring him and or why isn’t there a go fund me page to help him get bigger and better equipment to be able to make this a much longer more stable series I didn’t mean that as a shot towards him
Because a show about a fan made chapter fighting some random not even chaos rebellion would be terrible. Hours Heresy HBO is my call.
Taco Blude you could easily call these rebels a small chaos cult, the orbs give off a pretty strong “chaos vibe” and the first test season could be about a rescue force to get that group of space marines back, honestly I saw this before i got into warhammer 40k and it helped me get into the whole fandom, this could also easily get funding, considering how high quality it is compared to a lot of stuff out there today
butter moth yes this is cool but it is a minor conflict. A full fledged show would be Horus Heresy for sure. Also it helps that Horus heresy is a full fledged popular book series already
Here's some more insane detail. Right after 5:00 less than a second later you can see when the marine enters the physkers field by the thin blue outline. I still cannot believe the insane amount of detail is this, like I've said/thought before this is an absolute masterpice.

I'm honestly touched by the passion and consideration that was put into this series. I wish dedicated fans had the support to do work like this on other franchises that I've grown up with like Star Wars. Because I think fans have the purest intentions with thier work. They aren't exploiting or altering the story into a cheapened money scheme.
This is why, ultimately, beloved creations eventually belong to those who love them most.. this is truly the vision of 40k. 👌
For real, a lot of series out there would be better served being run by best of fans. The creators have lost their way.

No, I thanked him for exactly what I intended; the combining of all the parts into a single film.
Moreover, your comment is baseless.
1) You have no idea how many people, like me, saw each part when it released, and then rewatched it here.
2) You have no idea how many view _this_ video generated for the originals by crediting them. I always go out of my way to watch things on the original creator's channel to contribute to them, and I doubt I'm alone in that. People may have seen this vid first, and a portion of them would have likely have gone to the originals.
Finally, your framing is bullshit, because the views here are not owed to the original. "Piracy is a service issue," as it were, and the original could have taken an extra step to create a seamless video like this. Instead, he left those views on the table; gave them up. He could have had yet another view from me if he had offered the full feature on his own channel.
In short, get fucked.

Astartes marked the end of the golden age of free fan animations whereas, Helsreach fan animation by Richard Boyland marked its beginning.
Between Helsreach and Astartes we've seen some truly amazing warhammer fan animation projects. One of which was death of hope which really captured the barbarism of it all.
