Well, he didn't 'convince' them. That was the Silent King and the Deceiver. He facilitated it as the premier scientist. I'd say he is probably of similar position to Neferata in terms of studying and providing an ultimately flawed process of immortality.
@@consolescrub4031 "it was Szeras' twisted genius that ultimately made the process of biotransference a reality" Doesn't really counter your point, but Szeras is responsible for the curse, more or less. Not sure why I wrote this... I'm drunk D:
It's amazing when I realize just how high ranking Szeras actually is, and also realizing that this probably isn't even his true body given his vast expertise with transference.
Know the book your referencing but he did kill the death mark in the most ultramarine way possible. By predicting where it would be and shooting it with a hyper velocity bolt round. He did run at first but it was more because he had recruits and he's a grumpy anti authoritarian old man.
Small correction but the deathmark isn’t the deadliest sniper. That belongs to the illusive ork sniper who can wipe out a whole company of celestial lions. But in all seriousness if you have to face a deathmark alone you’re pretty much already dead, unless you’re like Sicarius or something.

The Deathmark was a series threat in this series. They were also the most annoying enemies is Mechanicus. I fact, they're pretty deadly in all their appearances, except in the tabletop itself.
You mentioning standardization of models between warhammer media reminded me that the tyranid episode of hammer and bolter uses the exact same creature sounds as Battlesector for the nids
Can't tell if Blacktalon raised my expectations on narrative or if it's because Salamanders were present but I wanted a lil more from the story. It was gorgeous and fun though
@@mistrants2745 it has the feeling of over management. Like it would be a great short film but someone from above told them late in development. No it needs to be a series
@@mistrants2745it's not the astartes guy it feels like it was outsourced from what I can see but he's working on his own thing. Besides, quality is technically higher if you know 3d. Also high quality 3d animation is expensive. Not saying it's not doable, I think GW should make an arcane lv animation but that was millions per episode so I get why you don't see that alot.
Until now im with you Jack, as a Necron fan it was cool to finally get some proper Animations :). But my biggest gripe moment with the show comes later in the show, will be ranting there then :).
9:15 Ahhh shhhhh ......she provided cover fire for them and had to die. I learned as a Soldier to retreat but give each other cover fire. So like she was covering - i would run back and cover her retreat. But they just run ..... that was a mistake
and you even consider everything else an show? ain’t their garbage before? the fact that warhammer KNOWS fans make BETTER animation they are REALLY desparate to shot down any fan animation! and the Astartes? it was WAY BETTER THAT ANYTHING warhammer has to show!
@RavenL1337 What are you even trying to say? you need to work on your formatting buddy, What you wrote was incomprehensible. If you're trying to say everything on warhammer+ is trash. It's subjective, so if that's your opinion, then that's entirely valid. But I've enjoyed everything bar Angels of Death so far. And yes, Astartes is the best cinematic produced for 40k as of yet. Nobody said it wasn't. But it's not a show, just a 15-minute action cinematic. H&B gets far too much hate for what it is, perfectly acceptable anthology, Interrogator is a great noir investigative drama, and then there's Pariah Nexus, which has just been a great short film. But you know, keep hating on warhammer+ animations for killing fan animations, despite half of them being fan animations.

The attention to detail on this short series was just... *chef's kiss*

Depressing detail, the Ultramarine that the Deathmark killed was the 9th edition trailer Sergeant. Rip

I mean, he was against pretty much a lone HELMETLESS space marine with a name, 0% chance of survival for poor deathmark no matter how you look at it
That sniper was probably a vindicare

Honestly this series was great. It gets a lot better too.
I’m glad they did my Sisters of Battle justice even if I have problems with the series

The narrative was weak. It felt like a mediocre short series with above average animation, probably due to the dude from Astartes.
@@mistrants2745 it has the feeling of over management. Like it would be a great short film but someone from above told them late in development. No it needs to be a series
@@mistrants2745like most WH+ they are just Interesting story's but with very little overall narrative. They exist more as microcosms of the galaxy.
@@neem377 EXACTLY my feeling as well. This feels like what Astartes would have been had GW tried to control everything about it.

Thank you for doing some lore explanation and reacting lol
Was sent the two episodes by my buddy. Will there be more? Loved your video btw and yeah that guards woman is way too heretical to be alive.
9:15 Ahhh shhhhh ......she provided cover fire for them and had to die. I learned as a Soldier to retreat but give each other cover fire. So like she was covering - i would run back and cover her retreat. But they just run ..... that was a mistake
Nice!
Loved this show, would definitely put it as my favorite show on warhammer+ so far, Like astartes was great but it wasn't really a show.
and you even consider everything else an show? ain’t their garbage before? the fact that warhammer KNOWS fans make BETTER animation they are REALLY desparate to shot down any fan animation! and the Astartes? it was WAY BETTER THAT ANYTHING warhammer has to show!
