This is why i admire the perseverance of the WK40k fandom, how you guys upload that almost instantly after it gets deleted. I work in a guardsman fanfic and thought I could throw in a reference to this video after I saw it
I honestly didn't know that anything happened but somebody asked for reupload under my analysis video. I have checked SODAZ channel and then everything was clear.
@@FREEK777ful As far as I know it's not getting copyright claimed. After SODAZ started working for GW he took down all his Warhammer 40k animation. I guess it was a part of his deal with GW. My guess is that they took it for Warhammer plus but thats only a guess.
The symbolic is painful when you think of it. the little boy is fanbase crying over the beloved franchise being tortured and near killed by hateful company who never cared about fans to begin with. the soldier offering the hand is sodaz, or any other animator who ever carried the torch of light and power which carried Wh40k into the future. the death of the soldier is the death of the animators, them being "incorporated"into the GW. the last scene show what the fandom always is, and always has done. in the face of huge injustice and open hatred towards it, it carried the torch of WH40k light into the future, and continued on fighting even when everyone they loved is dead and everyone hated them. only in death does duty end.
Mayby I'm not as negative about it but as I said in my vid about whole situation with SODAZ It's simply stealing animators from fans that helped them get where they are. If they also get rid of competition for Warhammer Plus then I'm rly pissed.
That guardsman received more than any other guardsman that I’ve never seen ,someone cried over his body someone mourned his death This was a comment from the original video before it was taken down I just wanted to put it here because it’s very true a guardsmen fights not for what is in front of them, but fights for what is behind them They fight for humanity, they fight for the emperor and not that many mourn them, do not pity the guardsmen draw strength from them they’ve held the line for 10,000 years and they will continue doing it for another 10,000 more
for 10 thousand years on a million worlds across a thousand battlefields they have stood against the darkness armed only with a lasgun & bayonet armoured only with a flack vest and guided by faith in the God Emperor they have stood against the horrors for this we thank you Guardsmen 😢
"Men, we are the first, last and often only line of defence the Imperium has against what is out there. You and that fine piece of Imperial weaponry you hold in your hands is all that is keeping humanity alive. Most of you will probably not live to see your second year in the Guard and most of you will probably never see your homeworlds again, but I can guarantee you that when you do fall, with a prayer to the most high and mighty God-Emperor on your lips, you will have earned the right to call yourself a man!" - Staff Sergeant Vermak, 12th Cadian Shock Regiment
1:16 to 1:20 even with out sound you can hear the Guardsmen say "thank you" and "perfect" when he accepts the flower and puts it in his uniform. heavy hitter there
We know their names and their face, they are the men and women who died defending the very soul of 40k, they will never be forgotten. They will be remembered as the best, as heroes of this Fandom. For the God- Emperor. Hold the line.
"For the Emperor we march. For the Emperor protects us. If we are to perish. Then we should gladly die for the Emperor's light. Commissar. Permission to begin a bayonet charge?"
That's when you're a guardsman. When you are a marine you get glory epicness and badassery... and if you're an ultramarine you also got a ton of plot armor.
As Stalin said "a single death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic". I dont think there is anybody that can imagine the amount of tragedy of even 10 deaths. It would break a human mind. Also thats why melee fight is the worst. You see and cant deny that guy in front of you is just like you, normal human not monster or machine or something moving and shooting far from you.
In a crossover universe of 40k and lord of the rings: Lady Galandriel: Emperor, why the imperial guardsmen? Emperor of Mankind: I don't know. Horace believes only great power can keep evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I have found that it is the small things, ordinary folk performing simple acts of kindness and love, that keeps the darkness at bay. Why the imperial Guardsmen? Perhaps it is because I am afraid, and they give me courage. "-Even in the grim darkness of the far future, an act of kindness lives forever." -----JT Hughes

"To each of us falls a task. And all the Emperor requires of us Guardsmen is that we stand in line, and we die fighting. It is what we do best: we die standing."
"Cadian children were taught how to strip, reassemble and shoot a lasgun before they were taught how to read. Prior to puberty, they were sent to survive on their own on the isolated islands of the Caducades Sea during the Month of Making, and by age ten most could perform infantry field drills and were proficient in killing."
