500'000 views? thats insane! for what was an excercise in 3D after watching an astartes video in lockdown - I'm amazed! thanks for all your kind words! As an update to the follow up video I can safely say I am 3 shots away from completing the whole graphical side of the film. But then it goes on to sound, music, grade, voice and touchups. Though just to tease a smidge - here is my new showreel which for 2021 which has a few shots from the new video ua-cam.com/video/GcmmJv6pSRk/v-deo.html
Indeed, ...to unable to use more usual power-armour suit safely enough, nor witiout needing medical, biological and nerve fibre life-sustainment sub-systens and the post-human connection services of the veteran marine's remaining amount of black carapace terminal clusters surviving upon them still, to relearn like an new sense of mental nerve patterns of musculature and bio-electro-chemical interfaces to operate enough as the interred occupants of each dreadnaught's sarcophaguses/sarcophagi.
Meanwhile the Aeldari: "Yeah mate it's tough and technically taboo but let's stick a soul or three into this wraithboner thing." "JUST the walkers, right?" "Fuck no, are you crazy? Stick them into every vehicle we have you dolt." "I thought this was taboo-" "Shut. It. Garomar."
Techmarine: “With respect, Ancient, a railing strong enough to support your armored weight would have to be made of diurite, and we’d have to have a crew of like, 20 ogryn servitors just to bring it in.
The best dreadnought scene from a novel is Malcharion the war sage of the night lords legion... refuses to be roused from slumber for ten millennia until people start a gunfight in his chamber wakes up blows a terminator away and casually states “I heard shooting”
There's a retirement home for Imperial Guard soldiers who get PTSD and need psychological help. There's also a factory that makes combat servitors in the exact same system as that retirement home. Pure coincidence, I'm sure.
I just thought of a game idea: You play as a dreadnought, awoken by your chapters chaplains due to the rest of your chapter falling to chaos. You would need to explore the ship, ether destroying key systems to destroy the ship, or fighting your way to the bridge and holding it against your former chapter while the chaplains (if they survived) pilot the ship into the nearest star. It would be a rouglite, with you finding starting weapons/other dreadnought chassis when you win and as statues hidden throughout the ship. Your weapons would have ammunition, reloading being a difficult endeavor due to your requiring the surviving chaplains to reload your weapons for you, meaning you would need to keep them alive as best you can. You would be able to order them around and tell them to pick up different weapons. You could probably also customize the ones that start with you at the start of the game. What do ye think?
the premise is neat, could add another ending (pilot to the nearest star, detonate the warp drive, or cleanse the ship during emergency warp jump to make sure no one leave) Instead of letting chaplain do all those routine (repairing you, maintaining your chasis and armament, installing upgrade), you could find a surviving Techmarine (due to half of their loyalty is to Mechanicus) and let him do the 'Engineering' job while you and chaplain goes merry-go-adventure. The idea of le chplain the one who reloads for you or unjammed your equipment is neat.
Tech marines are the guys who fix your stuff and maintain it. Probably better to use a Tech Marine and a Chaplin. That watched could play off each other. Being of different faiths, and vastly different focuses.
Imagine you're dreadnought the last member of your chapter due to all your brothers falling to chaos and you have the order to slaughter them all just imagine how emotional it can be

With all his memories, experience, wisdom...all his deeds engraved upon his chassis. Love em. Well done! Great work here, especially since all done by Yourself! I'm especially amazed by the rigging and animation, cause that's probably the hardest part of all.
Well in the lore the space marine inside experiences the feelings and sensations of when they died and memories whenever they are awoken. That’s why they are so pissed all the time.
I love your animations of the dreadnought. Most portrails are of them being lumbering suits of armour, but they're actually extremely nimble like Knight's of old.
Well, if that were to happen, it might well shake the Imperium to its core, considering that technically any Space Marine's grandfather is the Emperor...
Loved the side-to-side weight shifting while walking. A lot of 40K animations of bipedal machines look like they're just gliding forward ignoring their center of gravity.

Amazing job man, that was incredible.
- I have awoke-
You know...inside of that thing is guranteed to be super uncomfortable.
Well in the lore the space marine inside experiences the feelings and sensations of when they died and memories whenever they are awoken. That’s why they are so pissed all the time.
It’s animations like this that reaffirm that 40k is absolutely my thing
*EVEN IN DEATH I SERVE!*
My fave tabletop model.
Thanks, looks great!
I love your animations of the dreadnought. Most portrails are of them being lumbering suits of armour, but they're actually extremely nimble like Knight's of old.
"Allright drop him!"
*Cue dread walking through hail of bullets*
*Dread casually knee caps enemies at end of corridor*
Imperial creed: Only in death does duty end.
Adeptus Astartes: Hold my shattered corpse
...and now imagine a Dreadnought and a Commissar sitting down and having a chat about how far they are willing to go to serve the Emperor...
So remarkable!!! WOW! Fantastic work, Max Murray!!!
I love seeing my grandpa walking
Well, if that were to happen, it might well shake the Imperium to its core, considering that technically any Space Marine's grandfather is the Emperor...
Loved the side-to-side weight shifting while walking. A lot of 40K animations of bipedal machines look like they're just gliding forward ignoring their center of gravity.
Terrifying and fucking impressive.
“only in death does duty end!”
dreadnought:uhh yeah about that
Rarely can something be funny and badass at the same time
