Just watching this back and I only just realised. When the last fist with the hammer has his arm up in front of his face, that's probably a good defence against bolter rounds as the weak points are the eye lens, the gorget and the joints in the armour, none of which are exposed to the oncoming fire. The tradeoff to this is that in covering his eyes, it probably helps the dreadnought attack catch him off guard.
fun fact. bolters do exist in real life. well one of them. they created rocket propelled bullets but it was too expensive to be used and dangerous so its prototype was all that was made
Not close to the same unfortunately - the Gyrojet rifle suffered greatly in accuracy because of low muzzle velocity that caused shot to veer wildly off course A bolter is a bullet as a kicker charge to accelerate the round before a rocket sustainer motor kicks in Gyrojet rounds where also solid AP where as Bolter rounds are like 20mm cannon shells and are explosive
@@proudfirebrand3946 Depends on fluff interpretation - Impact fused would be what we expect but some think that "Mass Reactive" is a gravitational trigger system where it uses gravity to sense when it's in the centre of a target to remove the risk of over-penetration if the fuse failed to arm
Absolutely fantastic breakdown, I love how you dig into the emotional aspect of this stuff. One small thing is that the Iron Hands ThunderHawk did fire a heavy weapon into the walls, making a hole, before it crashed. So they made some effort to create a breach before just ramming themselves into solid whatever the material is. Lastly, being placed into a Dreadnought is not always a good thing. The GreyKnights dislike the practice though they still do it. Chaos Marines in general HATE being placed inside a Dreadnought. Its a awful, painful, mind shattering experience that makes even the most stalwart of Chaos champions go insane very quickly. Not being able to really feel the roar of battle, feel the blood and gore, feel a weapon in your hand, it's intolerable to them.
I hadn't looked much into Warhammer40k until I stumled upon your channel, and an absolute THANK YOU for getting me into 40k. Most other sci-fi has always seemed rather bland, and "Star Wars" or "Star Trek" and whatnot have never seemed like something I'd take interest in. 40k however, is just what I need; the GrimDark is perfect, the lore of the universe is as interesting as it is exciting to learn about, and once more I am so glad I stumbled upon this channel. (With that being said, I don't mean to put down other sci-fi. My own personal tastes just seem to favour 40k over the rest, as I find them incomparable. They're all good works of sci-fi in their own right and I am merely expressing my opinion rather than declare one thing is "good" and another is "bad" and whatnot. My apologies if I caused any confusion, or made it sound like that in any way.)
I just found out about this channel but I been into 40k lore for a long time this is awesome I didn't know animations and shows existed about 40k stuff I couldn't be happier
The fact that you're giving SODAZ his proper respect in a world where so many noobs consider Astartes the best and only, just raised my respect for your opinion way high. SODAZ is his entirely own category!
You mean thunderhawk. Thunderbirds are the primary vehicles of international rescue in the eponimous series. If you have never seen it I can recomend that it is FAB.
Some of the Imperial Fist's bolters are designed differently, but smoother and look better. The iconography on the Imperial Fist Armor is something that Astarte would have never done, but it does bring something extra.
I do believe that this video is actually the siege of Hydra Cordatis where the Iron Warriors were attempting to steal the gene seed from the Imperial Fists
8:15, the correct term is “auto-gun/rifle”, a Stubber is the much larger two manned gun like the one you see mounted on the barricade at 8:34!!!! I am surprised that none of the guard are using lasguns, as that is the standard issue weapon of the Imperial Guard in 40K!!
But I thought that only applied to the local PDF, the ones who are kept to maintain order on the planet, while the “cream of the crop” of the population is sent off to warzones across the Galaxy, equipped with the standard issue lasguns!?!??
@@davidlivingston9169 It's the Imperium. "Standard-issue" as we see it today does not exist across the entire galaxy. For example, if the local forge world gets eaten by Tyranids, the rest of the subsector will have to have to make do for awhile, and "awhile" may be decades or even centuries before the supply problem can be solved. But any world with even the most basic machine tools and chemical industry can bang out autoguns and ammunition, and they've got to fulfill the tithe. There are quite a few circumstances where Guardsmen could wind up with autoguns.
@@Morrigi192 Yeah i feel like it makes sense in the Siege aspect as you cant be supplied with guns if you are being sieged so that is what you'd probably have to live with.
Odds are, the marines are voxing eachother through their helms. Also, in Astartes, Those militia are corrupted by an alien species, can't quite remember which but they weren't Enslavers, thats a certainty.
I would also like to mention that, yes these guard/PDF had auto-guns. But they would have a better chance if they had loaded up decent ammo in the form of man-stopper rounds. Could actually penatrate marine armor. Another thing they could have done was aimed for the joints cause it's softer armor but... these are humies after all
Most of the time yes... then again, bodies, bodies and more bodies... if ten guardsmen piled onto one marine, at the same time mind you. He wouldn't win. Ten guardsmen shooting at one marine might drop him with a couple of lucky shots... remember, as captain Diomades said, "our armor is strong but not infallible"
Personally, I think Sodaz is better than Astartes; there's way more action. Maybe he hasn't got the money to render the artwork as smooth as Astartes but I'm totally satisfied with Sodaz's productions. I think Sodaz, Astartes, Gabriel Christtiane, the 'death of Hope' guys, and others, should totally remake the Ultramarine movie
It needs more smoke and lighting. The textures are actually really good, but the lighting looks like it was made in SFM, and the lack of smoke makes the environment seem too clean.
SODAZ removed all his Warhammer videos since signing on with Games Workshop!! Now we will never know what happens with that relic codex and the Martian Techpriest!!!!!
I don't think so. What will happen is (hopefully) that his next videos will be literally ''official'' stuff, no longer fan made. I hope it's for the best and the quality don't go down.
That was a boarding torpedo, purpose built for the job and with impact harnesses shown in the trailer. I think that’s completely different than slamming a thunderbird into a wall, but what do I know? I’m not an 8 foot tall, genetically engineered, warp infused monster.
@@Counterpoints I think it would have maked more sense if they maked a big hole in the fortress wtih artillery or whatever and then the thunderhawk went in rather than crashing it and potencially losing it.
He's an ex-marine with some traumatic experience maybe? Could be something psychological that helps him maintain his composure when expressing himself.
Please react to the UA-camr “RETICULON” he’s an animator and does military related videos. Also would B neat if recorded your reaction to his video, “spall and splinter” it’s neat.
Death of Hope is like an art book
SODAZ is like the tabletop
Astartes is what we all picture in our minds
Never thought of it that way but you're 100% correct. Stealing this analogy when I introduce people to 40k from now on
@@atomicjesus69 go nuts, it’s a lot quicker than trying to provide context and view time for 3 completely different creators
@@comradeshadles4967it's hard enough trying to explain 40k to new people without turning them away.
Bolter shells: Self propelled cans of red bull that detonate on impact with the target.
The marine with the hammer looks to be a chapter champion judging by the pauldrons

“I will do the wrong things for the right reason”. I appreciate you.
the silent nods and glances in a few 40k vids i would cop it up to them just radioing helmet to helmet.
Agreed
you would be correct we Astartes utilitize our helmet vox to communicate between squadmates
@@brothersgt.grauwolff6716 and other allied forces (via vox or speakers) when applicable
The Imperial Fist never conquered the Eternal Fortress, if it wasn't for the Ultramarines the Fist would've been decimated.
Who showed up uninvited.
They preferred to die than bow before the space book.
gave it a 3/5 it was okay
Yeah, ultrasmurfs can do anything thanks to their truly powerful plot magic…

Actually if you look at the closing credits for Astartes, they do iconography well. That specific head-canon Chapter has very subtle iconography.
turns out the book was really just poetry written by the emperor while on the john in the 19th century.

There are a bunch of Imperial regiments from lower-tech worlds that have to make due with autoguns, though they're certainly a minority.

its because its on source

...Do you even know what a hawk is ? Yes, Lord Emperor defined it THAT special.
It needs more smoke and lighting. The textures are actually really good, but the lighting looks like it was made in SFM, and the lack of smoke makes the environment seem too clean.
The Son Tay raid used a similar tactic of crashing an aviation asset into the objective for insertion
Oh dude you are 40K fan?! so fucking awesome!
PS: Death to the false Emperor!
This one was was always one of my favorites.
I prefer it to Astartes. The emotion in the Imperial Fists last stand is just phenomenal.
