As someone who worked on his. it is NOT a warhammer animation at all. It's an original IP we've been cooking in the background for a long time.

Omg! Oh the humanity of a company expecting things on time! Say it ain’t so! Corporate mandates that an employee create stories that follow a company storyline, that’s just evil! Joking aside GW really needs to have a consistent release schedule and advertising strategy. New shows might begin but episodes are sporadic at best with no cohesion, hell I never even knew about some of these shows that came out on the app and they don’t tell you if it’s an ongoing story, a one off, when a new episode drops, how many episodes there are, what timeframe are we in, and a host of other things.

I can't help but notice that the artwork in GW publications lacks any kind of character and individual style, that seems to have gone away. Warhammer and 40k used to have some great art but Blanche, Bonner, Ian Smith, Godwin, Gibbons do not have modern day equivalents. I guess that is something the corporate higher ups don't like, don't understand and see as an unnecessary expenditure; very sad.

@aliceboweie You should clarify that you were talking about the movie Starship Troopers(1997) Because in the book the mobile infantry (APE suits) power armor divisions are really more advanced with the ability to leapfrog jump with jets for miles at a time and the capability to fire tactical nukes from their power armor.

Enjoyed the breakdown as always. Totally agree with your comments on GW needing to get their heads out of their arses with regards to letting animators do their thing. They're sitting on an absolute goldmine of stories that could be told so beautifully and yet refuse to open the purse strings to allow it to happen, at least the way these stories deserve to be told. I feel they're massively shooting themselves in the foot by doing so. It's almost as if they don't realise they have such a passionate audience ready and waiting who wouldn't be nearly so afraid to open their wallets. I also think your idea about breaking down other stuff as if it's the same timeline is interesting and would definitely give it a watch. Thanks for the time you take to make these videos.

6:37 I am pretty sure that this guy is standing on a raised platform and not floating because of low gravity. If the gravity was that low, the vehicles would take off when hitting any kind of unevenness on the ground. The recoil of his projectile weapon would throw him back and you can see the platform when pausing the video at the right moment.

@safetythirdified 6 ай бұрын

I'm a bit critical. Awesome animation no doubt, but couldn't you say this is too related to 40k in concept design? ex. Explosive rounds are already a thing in several genres. Why not explore futuristic space SABOT rounds? You could argue that munition is just as, if not more powerful. Definity competitive with room to create a diverse sci-if arsenal.

@tarektechmarine8209 4 ай бұрын

I honestly think explosive rounds are the only way to go, good against flesh but more importantly it can harm anyone even close to the round. Sabot on the other hand are like shooting needles while also cutting through everything, which is not needed unless you're fighting heavy armour, even then explosives hurt internals even without penetration.

@safetythirdified 4 ай бұрын

@@tarektechmarine8209 You under play the violent nature of even the modern depleted uranium needle. Imagine an armored vehicle being hit behind cover. A hill. A SABOT can pierce through an amount of terrain, puncture the heaviest armor still, AND (and here is the horrific part) the exit of the dense heavy metal needle is so powerful that the negative pressure created from the small hole sucks anything out of that hole like a vacuum in space. Any flesh wrapped in body armor is sucked out or vaporized by the physics alone. The Gulf war was essentially a testing ground of that type munition. Slap some space fantasy physics on it, and you got a real good competitor to overplayed high explosives. They could at least elevated the specifics to mirror a 'shaped charge'. Those explosive mechanics are horrific too.

One thing counterpoints is getting wrong is that this is not set in the dark age of tecgnology or the 40K universe. Firstly because the aesthetic is a mix of 80s, 90s futurism and a splash of grimdark. secondly, due to GW slamming it's "Ban-hammer" on anu original 40k content, this is an original setting. to put in the official description. The Morningstar project tells stories from a distant, bleak future where the known universe is gripped by the greed of interstellar corporate empires.
