The front sight getting red hot and deforming due to metal expansion, botching the zeroing of the sights isn't the good touch. But hey, they have targeting interface in their helmets(probably)! Then why do they have basic sights on their guns?
@@LawofImprobability-2 I don't understand how that'd work? They're in space, it's cold.

Is that how it works?
@@ironduke5058 there's no air on that moon so the barrel can only lose heat by radiating it away and by letting some heat flow back to the rest of the gun.

he technically shot 6 times which would be 12 rounds (6 rounds per barrel) so that still wouldnt be even close to make either barrel red hot like that even in the vacuum of space. we've actually shot guns in space from space stations. regardless i saw what he was trying to convey and still made an excellent animation and hope to see more from them.

@se425 But the main way most things are cooled is with convection cooling. Things cool down with convection because cooler air or liquids passing by the hot thing absorb the heat and remove it. The only method of losing heat in space is through radiating it, which is massively inefficient. The cold you would feel is just your heat radiating away, not because space itself is "cold". Temperature is caused by atoms in the air bouncing against you. The slower the atoms, the colder you feel; the faster, the hotter. Space is "void", not "cold". There's nothing there to carry away heat. Think of liquid-cooled computers, or how regular computers have fans that convect heat away. Without those, most computers would overheat in minutes, no matter how cold it is around them. Rooms with banks of supercomputers infamously feel like saunas, even with cooling systems. Without convection, heat is lost slowly.

Weyland-Yutani, Jin-roh, 40k, this wears its influences on its sleeves unabashedly while still being very much its own thing. I hope this theme continues.
@@cn.st.182 The humans aren't challenged at all if the intro is to be believed, this conflict is treated casually and is reportedly the first time ever that human rule was contested in any meaningful way. The elites of society treat it like any other war - as entertainment. There's, so far, been no indication of any meaningful religion, much less extreme and wide-spread zealotry. The only similarity is "big men in big bulky space armor fighting aliens with sleek blue-white designs" which isn't even that uncommon. I mean, if this and WH40K are the same thing, then so is Starcraft, for example, and even if you believe the (false) rumors that Starcraft was "supposed to be a WH40K game", it's still very much it's own thing that merely draws a lot of inspiration from the same sources as WH40K, or use 40K as an inspiration itself. Your ungrounded pessimism is heard, but it is foolhardy. Equating two works merely for similar design choices would invalidate most of the modern gaming and TV industry. There is such a thing as being too pessimistic, and your own claim borders on being contrarian for the sake of merely being contrarian.
i love the title bump at the end with the vintage spin up and the beat playing in the background.. and the extra shots right after. chefs kiss truly.. it still gives me chills watching that
Finally, it's nice that we can get a spiritual successor to the Astartes animation. For a budding animated series, I'd say it's a strong opening for something that's finding its feet. I'm excited to see what comes next.
@@avgvstvs7851I see it as the creators saw how Goated Astartes was from the viewpoint of "Independent Internet Animation" and took notes but were trying to do their own thing
The Internet remember you guys. You are so talented, it's just unfair that your previous project for some greedy British toy soldiers company didn't allowed your skill to shine. Hope your solo project would be much more successful and became a new masterpiece of an animation.
I loved it, I hope to see lots more. Are we sure those "toy soldier guys" haven't copyrighted space?? Or armor in space? Or tanks in space? I'm sure they've tried. Are they still trying to sue everything that moves? Not a good way to make friends...or long term customers.
If only people this creative could invent their own property instead of expecting another company to allow them to leech off their property. Stop trying to be edgy for the little man. GW isn't obligated to let people profit off their items. These animators can create ANYTHING, they don't have to pick something owned by someone else already. It's deliberate parasitism.
Love the aesthetic of 40k with the Judge Dredd influences turned further up. Everything looking like it's made of solid steel while still moving that fluidly, this is so cool
For everyone confused this used to be Lost Legion Studios (The Exodite animation trailers were here), for whatever reason they have rebranded and made something Warhammer 40K adjacent.
Not to mention the shaky hands of the soldier asking for it. A nice attention to detail that maybe these soldiers have become a bit too dependent on their stims/drugs
Well, if I am in a war and could go any minute, also high on god knows what they are putting in the combat enhancement drugs they are distributing, or, more realistically, I can get my hands on, it would be a miracle if I could stay sane. One could even argue going insane would increase one's odds of living through it.
Also makes the powered suits feel like actual suits aiding in movement, sometimes excessively like how the dudes hand moved when reaching for the stim.
Also drives home the fact that being in a metal box screaming across a barren planetoid while being shot at by aliens would be a _bit of a bumpy ride._ Of course, that could also be the handy-dandy can o' drugs (combat stims?) they're passing around, too.
I called it. 40k had so many talented fan artists but GW decided to go the way of the dodo. Now a lot of former 40k fan artists are taking a crack at making their own grimdark sci-fi. Let's go!!!!
This is a professional studio that has literally been hired in the past by Games Workshop. Idk how the fuck you think they are some amateur 'fan artists'.
I adore how chunky the computer's feel. Really gives off an Alien vibe which, is fitting since from the little lore we have, Weyland-Yutani would feel right at home in this galaxy.
Yeah, I like the retro computer interface. It's one of my favorite aesthetics. Moreover, it really leans into the idea that it's the technology employed by corporations that are stingy with their funding. The forces in this setting probably _could_ upgrade the user interface of their computers. They choose not to, because that would cost money.
Aside from the obvious inspiration, I love the little bit of lore we’re given. Mega corporations are hardly underrepresented in sci fi but usually the focus is on Earth, the idea of galaxy spanning corporate empires feuding with each other while conquering the universe for profit is such a grimdark concept.
Love how grounded this looks. No heat dispersion, low gravity, juiced up soldiers. Can't wait for more. These guys would also look great as miniatures since they are not decorated like christmas trees😂
(1) guns don't get red hot after 10 rounds regardless of vacuum (2) if there's no atmosphere why are the enemy rounds making sound as they fire and as they zip past?
Love the armor design, feels like a mash up of 40K Space Marines, Fallout Power armor (especially at 3:21 with the ribbed underglove and padding) and roman legionnaire armor. Keen to see how this series progresses!
I'd also like to point out how their armor have spots with exposed mechanical parts like the Fallout power armors, especially in the face, but bear a shape similar to the Astartes. I love the space marines but sometimes their armor is too smooth, especially if you're not an overly decorative chapter. I understand it's because their armor is near flawless (lol) that they have little exposure to mechanical parts but who doesn't like a little more detail in their design?
It’s so good that you didn’t give up and continued working! You have talent, please develop it! And thank you so much for the wonderful job! The main thing is to never give up and always move forward, movement is life! In Russia there is a saying: “Dogs bark but the caravan moves forward”! All the best, live and prosper!
This is like a Warhammer 40k×Armored core VI crossover, even the voice at 2:22 sounds like handler Walter, I'm gonna have plenty of daydreams, thank you for making this amazing work.
I'm glad animators that are hit by gw's atrocious ban hammer are now finding ways to resurface and continue doing what they're passionate about, while also giving people quality content. Like sodaz whos currently working on a fall out fan animation.
The UA-cam algorithm is awful in countless ways, but at least it knows me well enough to have suggested this within an hour of it being posted. Phenomenal work all around, looking forward to the rest of this series now!
This gives off some major 40K vibes. Absolutely Badass. Don't know what this channel was previously, but I definitely subscribed to it for its quality.
THIS IS AWESOME!! I absolutely love the utilitarian design of the soldiers and vehicles, reminds me of Starcraft. Looked like those guys were taken adrenaline boosters too. Absolutely fantastic!! Also I've listened to enough comm chatter in my day that I was actually able to understand what was said in the beginning. This is gonna be an awesome series!
TBH I thought this was going to be another average animation but that was shattered when I saw how the APC's suspension was animated. Good job! Armor and weapon designs are superb. Vastly out does modern 40k aesthetics. It actually looks like grim dark diesel punk.
Honestly it does look very dieselpunk now that I think about it, it's like the old Aliens "analog" aesthetic, mixed with hints of 40k, fallout and ww2 aesthetics
Something that scratches that 40k itch that ISN'T pay walled behind an overpriced subscription service, AND manages blend a bit of retro-futurism a la "Alien"? SIGN ME UP!!!
While I can definitely identify the inspirations, the material is brought to life in such a fun and flavorful way. It is evocative of so many things that made my childhood, but also affirms itself as something entirely new! Good Hunting LLS!!! Can’t wait to see what you got next!
I feel "Astartes" inspiration all over the place, but it has a unique vibe though. The whole thing is very well done. Congratulations truly. Cinematography, models, lighting, animation, storytelling. I can´t wait to see what happens next.
This looks awesome, I can't wait for more of this. I love the Diesel-punk aesthetics the Barakan guys have, it looks brutal and industrial, it's very nice. Also the Diasporas look really cool too, nice Sci-fi aesthetics to contrast with the humans in this setting
The armor looks very much like 40k styled powered armor from Fall out 4. Im curious to see if the dudes are giants or if it really is just the armor making them big like in FO.
@@JustownerI'd say the armor also looks like it's from Wolfenstein or Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, with some Fallout around the arms and the helmets being close to Space Marines
Interesting touch on the barrels. Starts glowing on the first burst, which also completely effs up an entire light AT squad. I also noticed no tracer (unnecessary with scopes & integratedoptics) & minimal delay between burst & detonation, so the projectiles must be moving at extreme velocities, which matches with the behaviour of the gun. A gun that is never fired full-auto, always in bursts akin to the trigger pull of an M4. So these bullets are fast & hefty enough to rupture some kind of high-density energy cells as seen against the AT threat, but are also able to pucture the armored cowling & to damage the structural bracing of a lightly armored air transport with AP or multipurpose solid shot. Yeah, I can totally appreciate why the barrels are *glowing* after one burst in a vacuum. Beautiful attention to detail.
I kinda have a problem with the glowing barrels. You see 40k as grimderp as everyone makes it out to be, bolters use rockets, meaning the barrels themselves are not that important, sure they'll heat up and eventually warp despite how thick they are, but in this universe it would make the barrels extremely unreliable. Bolters would be the Correct thing to do, after all they are 'Space' marines and no one really cares to see past the derp and silliness.
great video! I like the touch that even the elite force from the corporations have still problems with the equipment, because, most probably, the corporation was not buying the hottest shit but was cutting some costs there (regarding the intro scene where the repair request was denied). really nice!
I know there is is sort of a legally distinct 40K vibe to get around GW being shitty, but I genuinely love the strangeness of this. Where 40K leans in on World War 1 aesthetics for its environments, weapons, and battles, this has a very distinct cold war era futurism. It's fucking sick and quite original. Respect
I love that they're not only armoured like supersoldiers, but shoot like they are as well That guy was nailing targets ages away without taking long to aim
Absolutely superb work! The sound design alone, especially switching from atmosphere, to zero atmosphere was excellent. The visuals and composition are also stylistically fresh and delicious for the eye! A lot of love and care has gone into this and you should absolutely be applauded! Bravo!
One of the small details i like about these guys that distinguish them from Astartes, is how they still show signs of human vices. A space marine would be as still as a statue prior to going into combat, and they dont twitch or make any movement that isnt precise and direct. Here you can see that they're all kinda twitchy and anxious while sharing narcotics(something no astartes would ever bother with), checking their gear, and looking around at each other. That more than anything really sets these guys apart from their Warhammer counterparts.
Thats because this animation is the time where the Age of Technology or the Dark Age of Technology,they didnt have the gene seed of a primarch because thei didnt have primarchs in the dark Age of Technology before the Age of strife
@@reinmharcalihat5211 I’m sorry, but this isn’t set during the dark age of technology. According to the lore given from the Patreon, this is set hundreds of thousands of years into the future. It’s an original ip

Do you know if this is going to be a longer video or turned into games, board and computer? You just seem to know a lot more info than me tgats why I'm asking. Cheers
The animation's so fcking crisp it's amazing. The tiny sound effects in between what you'd expect to be a one-time thing, like the first click of failing to put on his helmet before readjusting and then finally doing it, is really good. The attention to tiny details is really cool as well. This feels like Astartes all over again.
It reminds me the good old project astartes. The details are awesome: the unstable movement of warriors inside the running transport, the red hot gun due to lack of air for cooling in the void. Love it.
That's a nice touch, that the barrel glows red from the first shot. And only glows brighter. In a vacuum, the heat has no way to dissipate except as radiation and light.
Im getting both astarties and also a something about the animation and the ruffian style of soldiery reminds me a lot off starcraft as well. Neither is a complaint from my end. Well done sir!
I love the power that is implied by the respect and patience of their movements in the notpower armor, really makes you think, how easily could i crush my own spine trying to put my helmet on?

The elites of society treat it like any other war - as entertainment. There's, so far, been no indication of any meaningful religion, much less extreme and wide-spread zealotry. The only similarity is "big men in big bulky space armor fighting aliens with sleek blue-white designs" which isn't even that uncommon. I mean, if this and WH40K are the same thing, then so is Starcraft, for example, and even if you believe the (false) rumors that Starcraft was "supposed to be a WH40K game", it's still very much it's own thing that merely draws a lot of inspiration from the same sources as WH40K, or use 40K as an inspiration itself. Your ungrounded pessimism is heard, but it is foolhardy. Equating two works merely for similar design choices would invalidate most of the modern gaming and TV industry. There is such a thing as being too pessimistic, and your own claim borders on being contrarian for the sake of merely being contrarian.
@cn.st.182 awww you ok 😢
I think I detected a bit of LoGH?
i love the title bump at the end with the vintage spin up and the beat playing in the background.. and the extra shots right after. chefs kiss truly.. it still gives me chills watching that
Finally, it's nice that we can get a spiritual successor to the Astartes animation. For a budding animated series, I'd say it's a strong opening for something that's finding its feet. I'm excited to see what comes next.
did nobody notice the cheeky little thought?
War is entertainment for the elite.
Us. We're watching this for fun.
this is not even close to the quality of Astartes
@@Danuxsy
...I'm going to raise my eyebrow and move on.
He's right, it absolutely isn't. This is like a pale imitation
@@avgvstvs7851I see it as the creators saw how Goated Astartes was from the viewpoint of "Independent Internet Animation" and took notes but were trying to do their own thing
The Internet remember you guys. You are so talented, it's just unfair that your previous project for some greedy British toy soldiers company didn't allowed your skill to shine. Hope your solo project would be much more successful and became a new masterpiece of an animation.
I loved it, I hope to see lots more. Are we sure those "toy soldier guys" haven't copyrighted space?? Or armor in space? Or tanks in space? I'm sure they've tried. Are they still trying to sue everything that moves? Not a good way to make friends...or long term customers.
@@sgtrock68 Or a truly stable life. Or income. Lawsuits tend to backfire at some point. Like insults.
...man they got nasty
Fuck GW and their greed. This looks good.
If only people this creative could invent their own property instead of expecting another company to allow them to leech off their property.
Stop trying to be edgy for the little man. GW isn't obligated to let people profit off their items. These animators can create ANYTHING, they don't have to pick something owned by someone else already. It's deliberate parasitism.
what's the history on the previous protect? and where I can see it
Love the aesthetic of 40k with the Judge Dredd influences turned further up. Everything looking like it's made of solid steel while still moving that fluidly, this is so cool

For everyone confused this used to be Lost Legion Studios (The Exodite animation trailers were here), for whatever reason they have rebranded and made something Warhammer 40K adjacent.
thanks GW /s
Rebranded because Games Workshop doesn't know how to work with their own IP in regards to fan creations.
I was wondering why everything had a WH40K look to it. Bruva Alfabusa did the same thing with his Text-To-Speech Device series.
Looks like a mix of 40k and Fallout designwise. So I guess it is legally distinct just enough :D
Fuck games workshop
3:03 I love how the other soldier is all like "Lemme get a hit, bro. It's puff puff pass!"
don't be that nibba in the function
Facts that shit must’ve been hella good if he wanted a puff of that Baja blast.
I did love what I thought was a look of concern on the captain's face like he's losing authority over his men
Space mariens witha 40k look but a starcraft aditude
Not to mention the shaky hands of the soldier asking for it. A nice attention to detail that maybe these soldiers have become a bit too dependent on their stims/drugs
I love how twitchy some of the troopers like. Gives you a sense of how bloodthirsty and messed up in the head these guys are
Well, if I am in a war and could go any minute, also high on god knows what they are putting in the combat enhancement drugs they are distributing, or, more realistically, I can get my hands on, it would be a miracle if I could stay sane. One could even argue going insane would increase one's odds of living through it.
Also makes the powered suits feel like actual suits aiding in movement, sometimes excessively like how the dudes hand moved when reaching for the stim.
Also drives home the fact that being in a metal box screaming across a barren planetoid while being shot at by aliens would be a _bit of a bumpy ride._
Of course, that could also be the handy-dandy can o' drugs (combat stims?) they're passing around, too.
@@lurky7849ikr? i find very funny, same vibe as the dudes passing around deodorant in the locker rooms 😂
Yeah, combat stims just like the Marines from StarCraft haha.
I called it. 40k had so many talented fan artists but GW decided to go the way of the dodo.
Now a lot of former 40k fan artists are taking a crack at making their own grimdark sci-fi.
Let's go!!!!
You called nothing John snow
This is a professional studio that has literally been hired in the past by Games Workshop. Idk how the fuck you think they are some amateur 'fan artists'.
I adore how chunky the computer's feel. Really gives off an Alien vibe which, is fitting since from the little lore we have, Weyland-Yutani would feel right at home in this galaxy.
70’s-90’s depictions of Sci-Fi tech are some of my favorites.
'Alien vibe', it's a straight up copy lol. I thought I was watching an Alien Isolation gameplay clip for a second.
Alien and fallout is the vibe I was getting. I like it.
@@TuShan18 Oh hey, fellow Salamander
Yeah, I like the retro computer interface. It's one of my favorite aesthetics.
Moreover, it really leans into the idea that it's the technology employed by corporations that are stingy with their funding. The forces in this setting probably _could_ upgrade the user interface of their computers. They choose not to, because that would cost money.
Aside from the obvious inspiration, I love the little bit of lore we’re given. Mega corporations are hardly underrepresented in sci fi but usually the focus is on Earth, the idea of galaxy spanning corporate empires feuding with each other while conquering the universe for profit is such a grimdark concept.
Love how grounded this looks. No heat dispersion, low gravity, juiced up soldiers. Can't wait for more. These guys would also look great as miniatures since they are not decorated like christmas trees😂
You’ll like the Iron Warriors then with how simple they are in design
Well, if red hot barrel from 1 shot seems grounded to you, I got no good news for you bud
@@YakovDub In atmosphere heat is dispersed to the air, in vacuum theres no air to disperse the heat.
@@raihankadir5325 what makes you think I don't know that?
@@YakovDubexactly, especially since they established it's a vacuum so the exterior temp has to be absolute zero. Heat needs a medium.
This is just Corperate Space Marines from 40k... and I absolutely love it!
I love how the barrels on the rifle instantly get glowing hot in the void since there's nowhere easy for the heat to go.
And they stay hot!
(1) guns don't get red hot after 10 rounds regardless of vacuum (2) if there's no atmosphere why are the enemy rounds making sound as they fire and as they zip past?

Aside from the obvious inspiration, the armors give me some serious killzone vibe.
YES
Especially the red, beady optics
I can't unsee it now
For helghan !!!
Also a bit of Wolf brigade
Love the armor design, feels like a mash up of 40K Space Marines, Fallout Power armor (especially at 3:21 with the ribbed underglove and padding) and roman legionnaire armor. Keen to see how this series progresses!
I'd also like to point out how their armor have spots with exposed mechanical parts like the Fallout power armors, especially in the face, but bear a shape similar to the Astartes. I love the space marines but sometimes their armor is too smooth, especially if you're not an overly decorative chapter. I understand it's because their armor is near flawless (lol) that they have little exposure to mechanical parts but who doesn't like a little more detail in their design?
@@tjericc9739 I knew i wasn't the only one who got fallout vibes from their armor!
There's also some Jin-Ro aesthetics going on here, too.

This is like a Warhammer 40k×Armored core VI crossover, even the voice at 2:22 sounds like handler Walter, I'm gonna have plenty of daydreams, thank you for making this amazing work.
I'm glad animators that are hit by gw's atrocious ban hammer are now finding ways to resurface and continue doing what they're passionate about, while also giving people quality content. Like sodaz whos currently working on a fall out fan animation.
GW really screwed up that one isn't it
The UA-cam algorithm is awful in countless ways, but at least it knows me well enough to have suggested this within an hour of it being posted. Phenomenal work all around, looking forward to the rest of this series now!
well said.
Your movie inspired me to finish mine. Which I was afraid to touch for more than 3 months.
Thank you!

This gives off some major 40K vibes. Absolutely Badass.
Don't know what this channel was previously, but I definitely subscribed to it for its quality.
Lost Legion Studios. Creators of The Exodite (40K).
That’s because it’s 40k reskinned.
The beginning also gave me a bit of Fallout 3 and 4 vibes at the beginning with the soundtrack and the film roll at 0:48.
I legit thought this was set during the Dark Age of Technology
they made the exodites before it was "aquired" by GW but i do find it a bit too warhammer'y still an absolutely amazing animation tho
THIS IS AWESOME!! I absolutely love the utilitarian design of the soldiers and vehicles, reminds me of Starcraft. Looked like those guys were taken adrenaline boosters too. Absolutely fantastic!! Also I've listened to enough comm chatter in my day that I was actually able to understand what was said in the beginning. This is gonna be an awesome series!
What did they say? In short
This has got that 90/00's RTS FMV cinematic quality, looking forward to more. 👍
Big C.E.0. On his Golden Ergonomic Chair gives this a 5.0 performance score.
😂😂😂😂
This looks like what could really be set in Dark Age of Technology within 40k. Great job!

TBH I thought this was going to be another average animation but that was shattered when I saw how the APC's suspension was animated. Good job! Armor and weapon designs are superb. Vastly out does modern 40k aesthetics. It actually looks like grim dark diesel punk.
Honestly it does look very dieselpunk now that I think about it, it's like the old Aliens "analog" aesthetic, mixed with hints of 40k, fallout and ww2 aesthetics
@@nexusthenormie5578 Yeah pretty much spot on.
This feels like a combination of 40K and Wolfenstein and I’m all for it
Something that scratches that 40k itch that ISN'T pay walled behind an overpriced subscription service, AND manages blend a bit of retro-futurism a la "Alien"? SIGN ME UP!!!
i love this. the aesthetic. the art direction. it’s on point. absolutely fantastic piece
While I can definitely identify the inspirations, the material is brought to life in such a fun and flavorful way. It is evocative of so many things that made my childhood, but also affirms itself as something entirely new! Good Hunting LLS!!! Can’t wait to see what you got next!
I feel "Astartes" inspiration all over the place, but it has a unique vibe though. The whole thing is very well done. Congratulations truly. Cinematography, models, lighting, animation, storytelling. I can´t wait to see what happens next.
This looks awesome, I can't wait for more of this.
I love the Diesel-punk aesthetics the Barakan guys have, it looks brutal and industrial, it's very nice.
Also the Diasporas look really cool too, nice Sci-fi aesthetics to contrast with the humans in this setting
I can't wait to see how the Barakans fight, and how the Diaspora respond to them
It is a reminiscent of Tau vs Space Marines
The armor looks very much like 40k styled powered armor from Fall out 4. Im curious to see if the dudes are giants or if it really is just the armor making them big like in FO.
@@JustownerI'd say the armor also looks like it's from Wolfenstein or Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, with some Fallout around the arms and the helmets being close to Space Marines
Interesting touch on the barrels. Starts glowing on the first burst, which also completely effs up an entire light AT squad. I also noticed no tracer (unnecessary with scopes & integratedoptics) & minimal delay between burst & detonation, so the projectiles must be moving at extreme velocities, which matches with the behaviour of the gun. A gun that is never fired full-auto, always in bursts akin to the trigger pull of an M4.
So these bullets are fast & hefty enough to rupture some kind of high-density energy cells as seen against the AT threat, but are also able to pucture the armored cowling & to damage the structural bracing of a lightly armored air transport with AP or multipurpose solid shot. Yeah, I can totally appreciate why the barrels are *glowing* after one burst in a vacuum.
Beautiful attention to detail.
The high velocity makes sense too; they're in a vacuum on a moon with no atmosphere.
"Sir Issac Newton is the nastiest son of a bitch in space"
I kinda have a problem with the glowing barrels. You see 40k as grimderp as everyone makes it out to be, bolters use rockets, meaning the barrels themselves are not that important, sure they'll heat up and eventually warp despite how thick they are, but in this universe it would make the barrels extremely unreliable. Bolters would be the Correct thing to do, after all they are 'Space' marines and no one really cares to see past the derp and silliness.
@@tarektechmarine8209
this is not WH 40k actually .
From the bits of lore that they posted on Patreon, I'm loving it all so far. So damn interesting and already it feels fleshed out
great video! I like the touch that even the elite force from the corporations have still problems with the equipment, because, most probably, the corporation was not buying the hottest shit but was cutting some costs there (regarding the intro scene where the repair request was denied). really nice!
Even in the far future, micro-profits take priority.
I know there is is sort of a legally distinct 40K vibe to get around GW being shitty, but I genuinely love the strangeness of this. Where 40K leans in on World War 1 aesthetics for its environments, weapons, and battles, this has a very distinct cold war era futurism. It's fucking sick and quite original. Respect
In the legally distinct grim dark future of Morningstar, there is only corporate profit, and laughter of hungry lawyers.
I love that they're not only armoured like supersoldiers, but shoot like they are as well
That guy was nailing targets ages away without taking long to aim
I'm always open to more web series made with passion like this
Love the sound design especially the transition between the interior of the APC and the space outside.
4:52 is the look I had from start to finish. I like this, bring me another!
Absolutely superb work! The sound design alone, especially switching from atmosphere, to zero atmosphere was excellent. The visuals and composition are also stylistically fresh and delicious for the eye! A lot of love and care has gone into this and you should absolutely be applauded! Bravo!
One of the small details i like about these guys that distinguish them from Astartes, is how they still show signs of human vices. A space marine would be as still as a statue prior to going into combat, and they dont twitch or make any movement that isnt precise and direct. Here you can see that they're all kinda twitchy and anxious while sharing narcotics(something no astartes would ever bother with), checking their gear, and looking around at each other. That more than anything really sets these guys apart from their Warhammer counterparts.

And also,theres no Emperor in this animation,i hope you understand .😌
@@reinmharcalihat5211 I’m sorry, but this isn’t set during the dark age of technology. According to the lore given from the Patreon, this is set hundreds of thousands of years into the future. It’s an original ip
I cant freaking stop watching this. This is giving me the same kinda feeling and thoughts' that Dune did when I read the books. I want to explore, I want more, I NEED more! Holy crap I want a table top and video game of this!
Y'all need to get in touch with a manufacturer right now, and make these into figures people can buy. Minis? Yep! Action Figures? Yes! Statues? Abso-fuckin-lutely! We need this as a minis game.
Do you know if this is going to be a longer video or turned into games, board and computer? You just seem to know a lot more info than me tgats why I'm asking. Cheers
Love the detail of the gun barrel getting super-hot because heat can't disperse as easily in a no-atmosphere environment.
as someone who studied heat transfer, I love the detail of the gun barrel heating quickly
Holy shit that was awesome. Not just in the animation, but the pacing, sound, and vibe was just impeccable. So siked to see this continue.
I love how by every angle you can see what this is inspired by but still winds up being its own cool idea. Bravo, just bravo. Look forward to more
This needs to become a full, commercial IP. I need an RTS about this universe.
The animation's so fcking crisp it's amazing. The tiny sound effects in between what you'd expect to be a one-time thing, like the first click of failing to put on his helmet before readjusting and then finally doing it, is really good. The attention to tiny details is really cool as well. This feels like Astartes all over again.
I really liked the detail of the rifle barrel overheating due to impossible heat discharge with no atmosphere.
This is incredible. For some reason, certain moments gave me strong Dune vibes.

That's a nice touch, that the barrel glows red from the first shot. And only glows brighter.
In a vacuum, the heat has no way to dissipate except as radiation and light.
Im getting both astarties and also a something about the animation and the ruffian style of soldiery reminds me a lot off starcraft as well. Neither is a complaint from my end. Well done sir!
Damn this was awesome! As a 40k fan this really hit the spot.
