The tau crisis suit helping the chaplain may not seem right but the tau recognised which faction represented the most threat and targeted the tyranids, i bet if the crisis suit survived he probably would fight with the space marines or call for reinforcements.
Its less likely the space marines would work with the tau than the tau working with them, but even the necrons have with the imperium against these I think which is really crazy
Also its clear this is just some small outpost on an unknown world so their isn't going to be tau reinforcements and it would be unwise to attack while so out numbered against space marines
Tac Son that's not a shirt. They're call surcoats. It's what knights wore over their chain mail. Seeing as how the Dark Angels have a medieval theme, they would do the same.
RhetoricWalrus If Ultramarines was a 10, this would be at best a 3. For being produced by a single person it isn't too bad, but compared to a well-funded and much larger team, it's a 3. The bar for a person's standards should not be set according to limbo rules. The higher the better.
TiitanKun I don't know, I think it still competes with Ultramarine. Certainly, the assets aren't as good, but given how shanky Ultramarine's animation was, this is a good competitor.
RhetoricWalrus Not in the slightest. When everything about your video is worse than another, you are not competing with it. You're just worse than it. Granted, simply because it is worse than something else doesn't mean it's terrible. It just means it isn't as good as that other thing.
TiitanKun I never said everything was worse. What I did say was that the assets (such as the models, textures, etc.) did not match those available a professional animation studio. However, What i failed to make clear in my previous post was that the actual animation itself can compete with that in Ultramarine, which was, quite frankly, abysmal for a full commercial release.
Really good. Only thing is, everything always seems to underestimate a Space Marine's abilities to not die. They can take hits like some in this without breaking a sweat. The Plasma gunner's wound would have broken one lung, and a heart, it would really hurt him, and severely limit him, but he'd still have 2 lungs and a heart left, he could have gotten back up
Wow... seriously, these are crazy. The old ones were a bit rusty, but this counter-acts completely. The actions are so fluid, and the characters are awesome. The adding in of conversation has made this vid just so much better!
This was the best animation I have seen so far by a lone animator in a long time. This may not have been top notch, but it sure was awesome and made to the best of the animators abilities. And to that, I tip my hat.
I liked the animation, but one thing that should have been in there (in my opinion) was you should have shown a tau survivor hiding but observing the space marines (this tau being the battles suit pilot) then when he realizes that the tyranids are making another attack, he hops in his suit and decides to help out the space marines.
it took me about 5 tries over the course of 2 weeks for me to view this without it being laggy and all i can say is ... worth the wait! it is truely awesome
Do you still do this sort of pure art or have you stopped? I see you have not uploaded any 40k vids for such a long time now, so was wondering if you have a different channel now?
Excellent work, robfry2008. Well, okay, not EXCELLENT, but great. The animation’s better than anything any of us could do, no doubt. But the sound quality wasn’t great, or rather, the speech quality. I could only make out a few of the Dark Angels’ words, and the easiest to pick up were the ones taken from the Dawn of War II trailer. I say you got away with this in your Necrons on Kairium 4 vid, since there wasn’t all that much need for words, but here, I really wanted to know what they were saying every time. Sorry, just speaking my mind. And while the hormagaunts were recognisable, what in the world was that behemoth?? I wanna say carnifex or trygon, but I know I’m wrong. At any rate, I agree with Darkknighto, you should do more of these. I think you should go with Blood Angels, White Scars, or Space Wolves next, but that’s just my input. And as a big fan of Space Marine Chaplains, really appreciated this one.
I'm pretty sure it was a Carnifex.. the tusks on the mandibles are one of a number of possible variations on the standard carnifex if i'm not mistaken.
Yours truly loves Dark Angels so this was awesome to see. I mean the tau thing was iffy, but it doesn't break how the Dark Angel commander would act. This was fantastic to see!
I was looking for more footage for the upcoming Ultramarines movie when I discovered your videos and after watching several of them I am very impressed. The animations are brilliant for an independent video but what I've enjoyed most was the atmosphere you've created, the flicking between first person and third person and showing shots from different angles. I hope the Ultramarine movie is as riveting as yours have been. Keep up the great work.
Love the Dark Angels Chapter, its cool to see a movie about them. Its really nice to see more animations about WH40k besides the ones made for the videogames. Hope to see more, keep the good work!
That burst cannon kicks ass. Mowed down more tyranids than a tactical squad lead by a chaplain. But in the end close combat with a carnifex is a no-win for a crisis battlesuit. That chaplains a BEAST.
@robfry2008 DUDE!!!! This was SO FREAKIN COOL! you got a good thing going, I was actually on the edge of my seat when those Tyranids attacks. And when the Crisis suit came down and the Chaplin and him looked at each other, I was like, OH yeah! Total cool dude. You are my hero,
Very nice even better than the last one, especially good animations for the chapilans armor you must've poured alot of time into that I congradulate you.
avatar soundtrack: this made me realise there is a striking similarity between the tau and the na'vi (blue, 4 fingers, krootox=thanathor, ponytail,....) avatar in 40k: trudy: we're going up against gunships with battlesuits and railguns jake:BRHUHHAHAHAHHA
Thank you for this video. I just finished painting my termie chaplain and this video got me really pumped to use him! It's also a DA Interrogator-chaplain to boot!
This, for the most part, is amazing. There are one or two little mistakes though; - All Tyranids have six limbs. The Hormanguants in this only had 4. - Tyranids wouldn't leave the Tau corpses lying about, they'd eat them. - Pretty sure the Chaplain would have tried to attack the XV8, regardless of whether or not it had just saved his ass.
My favorite 2 armies pictured here. Great work. Well done. Loved the bounding leaps on the hormagaunts though i always thought they should be a bit bigger and the trygon was great, though i feel it should have taken more than 2 hits with the Crozius to kill it. Tbh i was expecting Ymgarl Genestealers but the fight scenes were awesome.
Hot damn dude. Definitely these are showing better and better quality. I don't know if you did this on purpose, but the tension when the Crisis suit showed us was palpable. From the lore, the Dark Angels HATE all Xenos, and would probably have felt at ease shooting the tau commander as much as shooting the 'nids. You almost can tell from the scene that they are almost about to shoot each other!
WELL DONE BROTHER! Another Glorious Tribute To The Chapter Brothers, the Adeptus Astartes. For the Emperor and the Imperium. Yet again Brother, you have bolstered our Ranks and our Morale Across the Imperium. May the Emperor watch over you and all our Brothers. Very Well done, keep up the good work When the time is done Our faith will shine to the very last.
i thought this was awesome. for an independent short, you gotta give em props for effort. i liked the momentary alliance between tau and SM (however brief, chances are, the chaplain was gonna eff up the crisis suit afterwards anyway XD) hope to see more soon!
Wow I can't believe The comment on these boards you guys are Crazy that vid was freaking great. I hope you get a job in hollywood soon mate great video.

Opportunism
the enemy of my enemy is my friend...for the time being

Makes sense to a marine
This was pretty awesome, I couldnt understand the Marines' voices at some parts though, but Tau and Imperium working together is badass!
Dat chaplain is wearing a shirt while wearing an armor XD
Emprah approved your style
Tac Son that's not a shirt. They're call surcoats. It's what knights wore over their chain mail. Seeing as how the Dark Angels have a medieval theme, they would do the same.
So when is this going to be on the PS2
It says a lot that this is almost as good as the Ultramarines film, if such a comparison isn't too insulting. Keep up the good work!

TiitanKun y
3:00 "By the Emprah! Brothers, send them to the grave!" So awesome.
Being a big fan of Tau I like how the battlesuit helps them at the end
Really good. Only thing is, everything always seems to underestimate a Space Marine's abilities to not die. They can take hits like some in this without breaking a sweat. The Plasma gunner's wound would have broken one lung, and a heart, it would really hurt him, and severely limit him, but he'd still have 2 lungs and a heart left, he could have gotten back up
Those shields the tau have remind me of the halo portable shields.
Wow... seriously, these are crazy. The old ones were a bit rusty, but this counter-acts completely. The actions are so fluid, and the characters are awesome. The adding in of conversation has made this vid just so much better!
And then rest of the Hive Fleet emerges on low orbit.
This is freaking epic. Without doubt, this is your best W40k animation (and probably one of the best ever) I've seen yet !
Although I am a loyal Dark Angel player, I can't help feeling sad for these poor hormagaunts, they are just toooooooo cuuuuuuuuute
+Audrey Leblanc Small tyranids are cute, but the synapse and bigger ones.... Those are nightmares in flesh.
Yes they are... Hive tyrants, exocrines, and the fat ones that spit their stomach to your face as a matter of saying hello :D
aaaaaand straight to a penal colony with you
This was the best animation I have seen so far by a lone animator in a long time. This may not have been top notch, but it sure was awesome and made to the best of the animators abilities. And to that, I tip my hat.

I'm sure the Tau and the Imperium could get along somehow if it weren't for the Inquisition...
MarkusKrassius and the reciprocal expansionism...
MaximusMeridius and the Essleciarchy...
MaximusMeridius
and the reckless xenophobia
Hexx Bombastus Yeah,however all of these following are part of their charisma ;)
it took me about 5 tries over the course of 2 weeks for me to view this without it being laggy and all i can say is ... worth the wait! it is truely awesome
Do you still do this sort of pure art or have you stopped?
I see you have not uploaded any 40k vids for such a long time now, so was wondering if you have a different channel now?
That was f*ing awesome. I loved the battlesuit. Your combat sequence was way more interesting that anything in the Ultramarines movie.
Excellent work, robfry2008. Well, okay, not EXCELLENT, but great. The animation’s better than anything any of us could do, no doubt. But the sound quality wasn’t great, or rather, the speech quality.

I'm pretty sure it was a Carnifex.. the tusks on the mandibles are one of a number of possible variations on the standard carnifex if i'm not mistaken.
That battlesuit was probably my favorite bit of animation here.
Stupid tyranids always want to kill my teammates!
Yours truly loves Dark Angels so this was awesome to see. I mean the tau thing was iffy, but it doesn't break how the Dark Angel commander would act.
This was fantastic to see!
HERESY.
Sadly not my friend
Dude... You rock. This Clip is better than the whole damn Ultramarines movie! Great job!
HERESY! *BLAM*
One word .... AMAZING!!
thes animations are getting better.
keep up the good work!
I was looking for more footage for the upcoming Ultramarines movie when I discovered your videos and after watching several of them I am very impressed.

Fkin amazing... Absolutely amazing... Please, continue making animations; these are incredibly fun to watch!
SM: "What have you found initiate?"
Scout: "For fuck's sake, I'm on recon!"
That's just badass man. This is why I check your channel weekly.
3:36 best. entrance. ever. :P
4:06 most annoying exit.
The animation of this is just fantastic. Great job!
Love the Dark Angels Chapter, its cool to see a movie about them. Its really nice to see more animations about WH40k besides the ones made for the videogames. Hope to see more, keep the good work!
the movement and action of the battlesuit is fucking amazing man, thats some seriously good work!
WOOOOOW, brilliant work man. This video is so cool (all your videos are cool). That's the stuff!
For Emperor brothers.
the voices were well pulled off and the animation flowed really smoothly. i would love to see more work soon your doing a fantastic job!
this was badass!!! really well paced and directed . great job.
Your space marines have gotten alot better. Very impressive video
one of the best 40k videos ive ever see well done keep up the work
i jizzed when the battlesuit showed up that was so cool!
great video man
Honestly mate, that is a really good for a fan made film! Well done!
Again great animations, the carnifex was just splendid, great work man, keep it up. Oh and the little tyranids ar cute ^^
Awesome video!! I especially liked the XV8 Crisis Battlesuit in the end!
IMPRESIONANTE HERMANO!!!! un trabajo fantastico, lo mejor que he visto hasta ahora. Me quito el sombrero caballero.
awesome! love the way that battlesuit crashes in!
This was so epic! So much more epic than I expected!
awesome.. my eyes lit up to see the Tau battle suit start tearing it up.
I love that rabbit intro but that part when that space marine captin guy was smashing the carnifexes face was pretty cool
That burst cannon kicks ass. Mowed down more tyranids than a tactical squad lead by a chaplain.
But in the end close combat with a carnifex is a no-win for a crisis battlesuit.
That chaplains a BEAST.
by far the best animation ive seen from you
@robfry2008
DUDE!!!! This was SO FREAKIN COOL! you got a good thing going, I was actually on the edge of my seat when those Tyranids attacks. And when the Crisis suit came down and the Chaplin and him looked at each other, I was like, OH yeah!
Total cool dude. You are my hero,
HOLY SHIT BALLS MAN THAT WAS EPIC BEYOND ALL THAT I HAVE SEEN!!!!! MORE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
Very nice even better than the last one, especially good animations for the chapilans armor you must've poured alot of time into that I congradulate you.
that was awsome in so many ways, couldn't hear the voices that clearly though but still that was awsome. go badass chaplain
Absolutely love the 'Fex. Let's you really feel the size and ferocity of the battles.
avatar soundtrack: this made me realise there is a striking similarity between the tau and the na'vi (blue, 4 fingers, krootox=thanathor, ponytail,....) avatar in 40k:
trudy: we're going up against gunships with battlesuits and railguns
jake:BRHUHHAHAHAHHA
Thank you for this video. I just finished painting my termie chaplain and this video got me really pumped to use him! It's also a DA Interrogator-chaplain to boot!
great job! the music, sound, and fighting were amazing :D
This sequel is way more 40K accurate than the first. Thank you.
omg your stuff just gets better and better
In a word, WOW, really good job dude. Thanks for the animation.
awesome work mate, not the smoothest animation but considering its all your own work its really well done. That tau crisis suit is amazing :)
Really cool nice how the tau and chaos united for a bit lol
That Librarian kicked some good ass Dragon Age style!!!
very very good :D love how correct it seems in battle style ;) very good work!
Wow, you have really improved. Very nice work. Keep them comming.
very well done, i thoroughly enjoyed watching both parts :)
Really cool! keep making these Robert! subscribed!
This, for the most part, is amazing. There are one or two little mistakes though;
- All Tyranids have six limbs. The Hormanguants in this only had 4.

It didn't really take just two hits, the battlesuit pounded it
Hot damn dude. Definitely these are showing better and better quality. I don't know if you did this on purpose, but the tension when the Crisis suit showed us was palpable.

CHAPLAIN? BATTLESUIT? CARNIFEX? oh my goodness you my good sir is amazing
WICKED AWESOME this is awesome for a fan made vid!
Hey man, this is a real good movie, Love it!
For the Emperor!
I love the Moby Dick quote from the Chaplain.
Awesome animation.
I would be very surprised to find a dislike bar on this video this is great keep up the good work!
the hive tyrant made me crap myself... awesomely made
WELL DONE BROTHER!
Another Glorious Tribute To The Chapter Brothers, the Adeptus Astartes.
For the Emperor and the Imperium.
Yet again Brother, you have bolstered our Ranks and our Morale Across the Imperium.
May the Emperor watch over you and all our Brothers.
Very Well done, keep up the good work
When the time is done Our faith will shine to the very last.
Ok seriously liked this better than the ultramarine movie I mail ordered for 45 bucks, and even more so because it's my chosen army. Nice work.
A 5 second video of Master Chief dieing a quick brutal death at the hands of a basic Space Marine would be quite entertaining.
I lack the words...man, you're beyond awesome...
Well done man, enjoyed watching it good job.
i was drinking a glass of tea when the rabbit thing came up now my moniter has tea all over it
you really should do more of these. that was awesome.
You will always make Warhammer40k Look Epic
i thought this was awesome. for an independent short, you gotta give em props for effort. i liked the momentary alliance between tau and SM (however brief, chances are, the chaplain was gonna eff up the crisis suit afterwards anyway XD)
hope to see more soon!
Wow, that was be very great. Dark Angels on the field. Great work, i hope, it will be come more from you.^^
Greetings from 2022. This forerunner of modern fan animation is good.
That was amazing. Please if you ever come back to this make more.
Well freaking done, amazing work!
haha this was good. i liked how the tau guy started helping the marines. for the greater good! but then he dies :p
I thoroughly enjoyed that.
I hope you continue to pursue this hobby of yours. :)
Wow I can't believe The comment on these boards you guys are Crazy that vid was freaking great. I hope you get a job in hollywood soon mate great video.
That was really good. I enjoyed it immensely.
Very nice work! I hope to see more from you in the future
Nice work! Battlesuits are bad ass lol. Hope to see more
these are the best space marines and tyranids i ever seen in fanmede video
This is a gigantic improvement fluff-wise. Animation-wise, its even better then your usual quality. 5*
Damn man, great work, imagine with more resources you're animations would be top notch (they are very well-done even so!)
This is.... SO FREAKING COOOOL WOW !!!!
I love your animations they keep my faith in spehss mehreens alive
