The trailer looks like it's done in the same vein as the Astartes YouTube series. I know there was a big hullabaloo with games workshop over it, but I wonder if they ended up conscripting the creator to help make content for future projects, including this one.

The animation just seems so damn similar, and even the sound effects too, but maybe it's just me.

Anyways it looks awesome.

they hired him, he likely headed up this video

they'd be crazy if they weren't using him to work on a full length animated movie with minimal voicelines and story told through action, I don't play warhammer but astartes got me into the lore

They hired the Astartes creator actually.

Edit - Kiroy beat me to it.

That's awesome. I also agree that if they made a full length feature film it would be fantastic. I'd be more excited about that than any regular Hollywood movies that are currently coming out.

For now they've been spitting out shorter shittier smaller series locked behind whatever they call their version of Disney plus.

Heard really good things about the first one despite average reviews.

The untapped story potential in this universe is depressingly staggering.

Mark Strong as a space marine. What the hell else do you need?

He's not doing the voice of Titus for the second one, though. New voice actor is Clive Standen.

Maybe if people stopped buying games from the big scummers, the money and talent could go better places. Takes a lot more than 1 guy to make that happen, shrug.

Yes, G.W. "hired" him and by that, I mean that threatened him, extorted him, chained him in the basement with no windows, feed him bread and water, and threaten to kill his dog if he doesn't make content for free.

Well we've got a year to wait so this thread is now the 40k circlejerk thread

I wasn't a huge fan of the gameplay of Dawn of War 2, but goddamn the story and cutscenes were boner inducing sometimes:

This may be my favorite CGI short video of all time. The animation, the music, the narration......I've watched it many, many times! Edit - when the horns sound and that Eldar walker comes out of the smoke - goosebumps every time.

I question your tastes old 1st edition man.

The quality being newer is better, and the titans fighting each other was indeed pretty epic, but the rest of it was bizzare artsy fartsy when you compare it to DOW 1 and 2 cinematics. One still gives me the best "this is warhammer" vibes in terms of the madness and the sacrifice of the dude followed by seeing it as one tiny part of a global battle.

2 Was just visceral marine rampage and determination.

If we are talking CG in general, make sure you've gone and watched "astartes" on youtube. That's the crowning achievement of anything 40k so far.

Can a woke writer destroy this game?

I think yes.

Ehrgeix · Dec 13, 2021

I really loved the original warhammer books - there was a Space Ork one called ‘ere we go, featuring a bunch of short stories about dok hacksaw and his gretchin, fuggit.
