Video has no ads, support me on Kofi! ko-fi.com/absolutelynothing
The Death Korps of Krieg are galaxy renowned trenchfighters and siege specialists. Their guardsmen stand emotionless against hails of gunfire, artillery bombardment all in the name of atoning for their planet's sins.
When a nearby regiment is forced to pull back lest they be completely wiped out, the Krieg 143rd commits to a full frontal charge to regain lost ground. Chaos renegades stand ready to repel the attackers, while the only sign of emotion from the guardsmen are the glint of their gasmasks in the fires of the battlefield.
200 hours of work and a few dozen in sound design, I finally finished this dang 5 minute clip. Pretty big jump considering I only ever done 30-40 second shorts before. It was painful, frustrating and showed me how much more I have to learn, and where my weaknesses lie, but it was fun seeing the final result.
Criticism and feedback is HIGHLY appreciated! I'm still a fledgling hobbyist animator who works on animations in my free time between classes, so any and all critique is extremely useful to help me learn to be a better animator!
Particular points of note I would appreciate feedback on are Motion, sound design, and pacing.
Leave a like if you liked the video (or dislike if you didn't!) and leave a comment with your feedback! Thank you very much for your help!

Well it is the suicidal meme bit, but on a more strategic level, considering that the Regimental Commander learned his flank was folding with comms cut and his response was a frontal assault. It’s a recipe for encirclement eg The Lost Battalion in WW1. However, it’s very much lore accurate.

I love how the Commisar shows no caution in the trench, head not hunched, no reactions tonl the explosions, clearly seasoned. He knows his job is easy as no one in his unit would even think of retreating, and he will only have to work hard to get into the action before the kriegsmen kill all the enemy themselves.

The helmet top shares a profile with the French Adrian helmet while the bottom part is clearly inspired by the German Stalhelm. The iconic gas mask is extremely similar to the British SBR Gas Mask used during the war. The bayonet is modeled after the American M1917 Bayonet. The Lasgun Model 98 is named after the German Gewehr 98 The breastplate worn by Krieg Officers and Death Riders is inspired by the French Cuirassier breastplate. It could be argued that Krieg is more French than German with the prior points stated. It doesn't stop there as even the way Krieg fights can be likened to French military doctrines. Krieg and France fight with attrition with similar cases being noted with Vraks and Verdun respectively. Krieg and Germany however don't share the same doctrines as Germany in our world simply can't monumental losses, instead opting for quick and decisive strikes such as the Schlieffen Plan and Kaiserschlacht Offensive

What I love about this is that it portrays the Guard as being a genuinely competent and well trained force. So many people frequently compare them to Astartes or Xenos and just assume that the IG are mere fodder and just bodies to add to the pile. However people forget that in the spectrum of human soldiers in the Imperium, guardsmen are actually fairly high up and surpass many layers of recruitment beyond militia and PDF etc. As a result, it is actually refreshing to show them as being capable in combat and not just as meat for slaughter. These aren't just your average press ganged mongrels or desperate voidsmen. They are a dedicated and elite combat force and its good to see such depictions of the Guard.

A true Kriegsman would throw away their shovel as it is known to be a all-powerful heretic killer, though one would be hard-pressed to convince a Kreig guardsman to throw away his shovel...

@@commanderstorm8874 the deathkorp uses a special variant of the lasgun, can't recall the name of the top of my head, but it's more powerful than a standard issue one, the downside is, it only has one energy setting (instead of the regular three) and has access to only a semiautomatic firing mode (instead of singleshot, burst and full automatic that a regular lasgun has as options).It however still is a lasgun and as such fires lasbolts, the heretics in this video are using autoguns, which fire bullets.

@@sumpfe3340 The lasgun model they use is called the "Lucius" Pattern No.98, in keeping with their German WW1 inspiration, (the standard-issue Mauser rifle was the model 1898). More powerful per shot than most lasguns, but it might blow up if you fire it too quickly. - 1D4Chan

Everyone's talking about the sound effects, I love the little details: the trigger discipline, the proper tactics on both sides, and the easiest to miss; at around 4:26, while the traitor guardsman is emerging, he threw his rifle over his cover in the opposite direction that he emerged from as a distraction. And it WORKED. The Krieger's rifle barrel flinched towards the gun momentarily, which bought the traitor the seconds he needed to close.
