What ya mean "as a kid" ? You're either a kid or you're not ! Lol I'm not a kid , but at 55 , I'm glad to say that MY gun noises , and other sounds of carnage , are better than ever ! And my toys ?.....little me would be green with envy ! Here's to never growing ALL the way up ! GREAT vids , definitely a labor of love !
this is exactly what we all saw when playing with miniature soldiers. i have watched everyone of these and have loved them. i have go into animating thanks to the wonderful times i spent imagining miniature battles
thank you for this. Truely, thank you. Your work is amazing, clearly better than what I can do, and your film skills are superb. I honestly cannot wait to see it.
@@TheME2Legion I was the voice of Praetorian, the mission commander relaying orders to the units in the field. Basically the first guy you hear in the video. :)
Man, you tell a great story!! Between that and the increased developments with your filmmaking, these little gems just keep getting better and better. I really hope, at some point, you can do another Q&A or a How-To video. There's some new stuff here that I'm sure we'd all like to know more about. For instance, how did you get the monitor operator in the command center to move his arms?? Regardless, great job and am looking forward to the next one.
Another masterpiece, you never fail to impress me with these videos, animation is amazing and so are the VFX and story, great job mate and cant wait for the next one!
It seems the more you do this the better you are getting. Especially that little teaser at the end. Good work and thanks for the content. Was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
What a great way to end the series, or should I say, season. I don’t remember how I found you but I was just blown away with how amazing the animation was. It’s so clean!
Every mother of a small boy needs to watch this for educational purposes, so she understands why all the stuff is standing around on the floor again and why she just cannot put it all in shelves again. 😂
Damn I just clicked this video thinking what is this ? Black star initiative taken this war to a whole new level with models and cgi and camera angles that only are found in professional productions. Amazed by the creativity and effort you put into it ❤
I love this series so much. It has bin a long time since the last. But the Wait paid out well. Thanks for your hard work and i love how i am able to see the improvment in your skills.
I love watching these, I have always wanted to find someone who made stuff like this in stopmotion form and are well done with good story and animation. I noticed and admired how you made a good action movie with an original plot, without a bunch of cussing or overdone gore. That is hard to find these days, and I really appreciate you doing that. I am excited for season 2, great work!
to end the year, a good video, I didn't remember that this series existed but I watched it again and it gave me goosebumps for every episode I watched again. greetings from Uruguay and happy new year to all
YES THE ARMY WILL ALWAYS WIN! EVIL WILL NEVER TAKE OUR BELOVED WORLD WITHOUT A FIGHT! I’ve been waiting very long and very patient and this was indeed worth the wait! Great work! Cant wait for season 2!
Never and I mean never will I get bored of rewatching these. the story the voice acting, the animation all top-notch love it keep up the excellent job mate!!!!!

What a great grand finale of this eight part series. The progress and improvement that was shown through this has been amazing. Hopefully we will see these characters again in Season 2. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this.
Now im thinking why the flip do you still have not a million subscribers -Your videos are perfect -has amazing voice actors -and all elements for it to be perfect
Ty for this. I am clearly not the only one that this triggered a nostalgia for the hours upon hours spent playing. I am in awe at the bravery of these little men and women in the face of more technologically advanced adversary. YO JOE!
PERFECT way to wrap up the year/kickstart 2023! I do a fair bit of plastic soldier wargaming, and this series has been one of my main inspirations! Also, that cliffhanger ending though. Either those guys are mercenaries or another paramilitary organization (sort of like War Commander's Corpus or GI Joe's COBRA) or are a shadowy third nation (think, ahem... well, i'll leave it up to you). Either way, you just keep getting better, and I for one can't get enough of it! Stay safe this year!
4:36 God I love explosions. 4:40 Still kinda weirded out by his arms moving tho. 4:54 imo? Perfect place to put in Rough Journey. 5:06 continuity question; What happened to those improved armorplates? 5:09 mild CGI nitpick? maybe. iirc the downwards muzzle blast should be spreading across the front slope, not directly in front of the hull side. 6:12 I see that detail. god these are good. A tiny little turret traverse so that it's properly covering the hallway is excellent. most would just have it slide into place. 7:55 I like this detail. The vehicle skids into place to block incoming fire. And those particle effects!
Bro I love this guy, I remember watching your 1st video😄 anyways, keep up the work man. You make the best video's and you need to be proud on yourself man❤🤞
Damn that's exactly how I would make my battles n wars when I played with my little plastic army soldiers and paratroopers when I was a little! Great times Great memories! 🤘🖤🔥🍻
THIS IS FRIGGIN AWESOME! Reminds Me of My War Diorama Building days Back in the 70's when I was a Kid, My friends and I Reconstructed the D-Day and Iwo Jima landings in My basement, DAMN, Those were GREAT Days!!!!
Very nicely done! I can appreciate the time you put in to this and it shows. I’ve done a little stop animation,a lot of work. (A labor of love) thank you for sharing. JC : )
Once again, superb excellent sound design and another great story. Can’t wait to see what happens when we actually have humans working for the aliens. Now this could really get interesting..

*some of the voicelines,aaaugh*
is there any potential for people to send in voicelines
's a good animation, though, all aside.
In season 2 use music from Battlefield 2 modern combat. They can easy help in your video and are very good too

@@nursestoyland Thanks, I appreciate it! Was a fun project to work on.
@@MNCDover awesome 😎

Hell yes. The battlefield music made me want to play battlefield myself. This is the battlefield we deserved
The fighter jets looked insane on this one! Nice cliff-hanger at the end, keep it up.
It seems the more you do this the better you are getting. Especially that little teaser at the end. Good work and thanks for the content. Was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Amazing job man! This was a real 10/10! The end was a real cliffhanger, can't wait for season 2
Better storyline and acting than in many Hollywood productions. I'm serious. 👍
It really warms my heart to know that D’s toy soldiers all United to protect a living room
Every mother of a small boy needs to watch this for educational purposes, so she understands why all the stuff is standing around on the floor again and why she just cannot put it all in shelves again. 😂
I can't find a stopmotion that beats this, amazing effects and movement and overall a great stop motion, I love the story and can't wait for season 2!
This is truly brilliant what we all imagined as kids playing war games 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Damn I just clicked this video thinking what is this ? Black star initiative taken this war to a whole new level with models and cgi and camera angles that only are found in professional productions. Amazed by the creativity and effort you put into it ❤
Awesome quality! Happy New Year, Black Star Initiative!
Hey your finnaly back! Glad this series is still going on. What a great new year's gift man.

It has bin a long time since the last. But the Wait paid out well.
Thanks for your hard work and i love how i am able to see the improvment in your skills.
That's why I wait and tell him to take his time , if you take your time the project ect will turn out nicely
I appreciate that this style of stop motion is still being used it’s a lot of hard and long strenuous work so I give you props !
Holy crap when I saw the opening the quality has really improved, Your work is amazing man, keep it up!

Thank you.
amazing man, really good, congratulations for the special effects, I'm anxious waiting for the

"Drop Bear is moving into the bedroom now" had to re listen to it to make sure I was hearing that right! Hilarious! Beware the drop bear!
I loved it and I really liked the surprise ending...
Love this series. Grat work and thank you people.
Damn that's exactly how I would make my battles n wars when I played with my little plastic army soldiers and paratroopers when I was a little! Great times Great memories! 🤘🖤🔥🍻
This is why GI Joe was such a popular cartoon. Outstanding job
This was wonderful! The channel motivated me to paint some of my own models and get back into stopmotion on my otherwise dead channel.
Love this… this is a masterpiece. The wait was worth it
Looks the the Saurians aren’t out just yet, they seem to have made a deal with what looks to be a very powerful PMC
ah yes my imagination when playing with miniature toys back when i was a kid, made me smile today, cheers! 👍👍👍
Cant wait for s2 I’ve been watching for years
There's better action here than in some blockbuster movies! I can't wait for season 2!

По вот этим видео наверное можно новую игру выпустить😅😅
Согласен и очень радует что не Россия тоже играла важную роль в этой битве
