      Although thats true, the Warhammer universe is SO MASSIVE, with so much lore, yet so much unknown, that you can make anything and make it canon.
      Obviously you can't go crazy, like making a god stronger than all existing ones, or a huge chapter or even secret race that manipulated all events. Yeah thats to far.
      I might make something of my own, like a small splinter chapter or a new race at the edge of the galaxy.
      But hey, Warhammer is already fantastic itself.

    Syama Pedersen's Astartes animation stands head and shoulders above any Games Workshop official content because of how no-nonsense and practical everything is. There is no generic voice-over or a rousing speech that everyone's heard a thousand times already. No one is stopping to pose for the trailer, the action is fast, effective, brutal and sound from the tactical viewpoint, both from the Astartes and the rebels. Pedersen's work manages to convey with every detail that the Space Marines are superbly trained superhuman soldiers, indoctrinated to fight and kill with zero hestitation. That's exactly what they are doing, and it is all that they are doing. If you compare this with the Ultramarines vs Tyranids from GW's video, it almost seems like everyone there knows they are on camera - both the Marines and the Xenos waste time staring each other down, posing with their weapons, roaring, flexing, and generally not employing the best tactical options. Given that they are supposed to be professional soldiers with hundreds of years of experience on one side, and mindless swarm of insectoid killer aliens on the other side, things like this stand out and shatter the suspension of disbelief. On the contrary, Syama Pedersen's portrayal is gritty, down-to-earth, captivating with its consistence and adherence to military realism.

    • @AdamG-ng6gl
      @AdamG-ng6gl Год назад +83

      You articulate my own impression perfectly. The shots where the marine takes heavy fire from a lascannon, recognizes the threat, and drops a smoke grenade in the same movement as he takes cover to switch to his plasma weapon... just beautiful. The bit at the end where the same marine just instantly completes the neck stab he never had any intention of failing to execute the moment the psyker's shield fell is the same. Fast, efficient, deliberate, with every spent bit of effort moving towards their objective is how I expect Astartes to operate. Scene direction like this is SO much more exciting and satisfying than any amount of cartoonish posturing.

    • @zroutube
      @zroutube Год назад +51

      @@AdamG-ng6gl Thanks mate. Just one small point to add: Note that when the lascannon starts firing, the Marine immediately returns fire with the bolter. He fires three shots and two of them hit the lascannon emplacement, but don't penetrate the shield. Only then he drops the smoke grenade, takes cover and switches to the plasma gun. The action is so fast and superhumanly efficient that it took me several rewatches to get these details.

      @@kespec Main reason he's able to pull it off is genius set- / scene-design. What I mean by that is that he primarily chose closed off spaces and corridors for majority of the scenes. This alleviates a lot of heavy duty work he would've been forced to do for backgrounds, good backgrounds take a ton of time and they generally make or break this level of animation in terms of realistic look.
      Not only that but this also allows him to use very intentional lighting, he gets to avoid any natural lighting that uses the sun or environment, meaning a whole lot less work for simulation and matching the light to the sun etc. The usage of dark scenes and or scenes that only carry one strong light source again allows him to hide spaces where he otherwise would need to place lots of good looking assets. A general rule of thumb for any CGI is that, the darker it is, the easier it is to make it look good because you can hide imperfections. This is very important for a 1-man job as not only are their skills stretched thin (no other artists to aid them), but also safes a toooon of time, meaning they can spend more time on polishing the stuff that has greater impact.
      This person is unbelievably skilled, it doesn't matter what talents you're born with. For this level of solo-work you just need to have incredible skill that's been amassed with lots, lots and lots of practice. The most jaw-dropping thing is seeing someone this skilled in visuals, be so unbelievably skilled in the audio side of things, these two do not carry overlapping skills like cgi, animation and cinematography does. The audio production is nearly flawless which is just unheard of for the amount of practice it requires to reach this level in both fields (visual and auditorial).

    As many have pointed out, what makes this film great is not just the masterful visual storytelling and animation--it's that for perhaps the first time ever, the Space Marines are taken *seriously* . Every single piece of media that Games Workshop has released from movies to games has the Space Marines shouting battle cries about "glory, honor, for the emperor, yadda yadda", when realistically, war is much too grim to ever be as campy as that. When I was a kid, I dreamed of a film where the Space Marines got treated like ACUTAL marines, and not the glory-obsessed sycophants we see them portrayed as all the time. This is the closest we've ever got to that, I feel.

      *Agreed!* I don't know this franchise too well, but their cold, swift efficiency makes perfect sense, and it's so impactful. They don't stop. They don't waste movements. They don't flinch. When that marine was trying to get close to those telepaths, he didn't even pause to process the fact that he was being telekinetically crushed. The *_whole_* time they had him subdued, he was completely focused on finishing the knife attack. The moment he was freed, he didn't stop to pull himself together, or drop a one-liner. He just instantly finished the fatal blow he was already in the middle of executing. Now that's rare, tactical and realistic (well, for a superhuman space marine).

    There’s so much love in this video. I started watching this when I first learned what warhammer was a few months ago, up until now where I am painting my first custom chapter. I’ve seen this video with so many varying degrees of lore knowledge, and somehow, I still manage to see new things each time. The reason this video is herald as one of the greatest representation of the universe is how masterfully crafted and directed it is from start to finish. Every inch, every second, of every moment makes it feel like a visceral warhammer universe. A lot of people point out that their favorite moment is the squad leaders flinch at the spooky entity change. Mine is him blasting the ball with the plasma pistol. Even in that last moment of “I’m being eaten by an orb” he collects himself and with his free hand pulls his sidearm. Then when it starts eating his gun, he says “fine, here’s a taste”. Blasting off his arm, i imagine he thought “aw, nuts”

Yes, war is a big sausage fest, lol. I'm sorry you find this revelation disturbing, though I confess, I can't see how having a few women getting blown into bits in the mix, or a set of tit armor here and there would have improved the action.

Every Astartes is an individual that was 99% most likely a very very young child that went through the process of taking in the geneseed,in no way are they clones. They have their own personalities,goals and choices. Second off there are no female Space Marines it's literally not possible for a woman to become a Space Marine whatsoever so yes every single one of them are men. I recommend actually learning about 40k instead of watching a video and trying to lecture people when you don't know the literal basics.

    this is why I despise current copyright rules. Look what creative talents are out there, just see what they can do if they are allowed to and compare to that the "official products" who are so restricted by "people in suits" reading from flowcharts and lawbooks to make sure they milk every nanny and kindergarten child.
    They say the laws are to make sure the creators are "rewarded for their work" but the truth is that they want exclusive milking rights of the cow for a select group which often not even involves the original creators anymore.
    This is why we cant have good things!

    • @nickfifteen
      @nickfifteen Год назад +3

      The issue for me is trying to determine where the lines should be drawn between the two ends of this debate: "an artist should have exclusive rights to profit from their own work" and "an artist's work belongs to the world to enjoy". As an artist I've experienced both aspects of this and I feel both are valid points... but I've also struggled with figuring out when and where one is more valid than the other.
      It sucks that GW put the clamps on new Astartes works when fans have kept 40K going after all these years. But at the same time, it is their property, and the fact that they're a large company doesn't change that. Frankly, suppose their size does change the circumstances: if I had a great artistic idea and I managed to grow it into a multi-million dollar company, at what point did my art go from "I should be rewarded for my artwork" to "the art belongs to everyone"? Was it the moment I made money on it, or simply as soon as I put it out there into the world?
      This isn't about defending GW's actions and more about a discussion about this concept of artistic ownership, maybe even tapping into "death of the author" (albeit focused more on ultimate ownership over ultimate meaning). It sucks that a large corporation can have that kind of power over an artistic property that we all love, but the powerful using their money to control art is a tale as old as time... consider that a lot of famous Renaissance paintings were commissioned art pieces paid for and owned by the rich and powerful of their time: does it continue to be owned by the family (assuming it was passed down through the generations) or do they now belong to the world?
