I had to check I'd not fallen asleep and missed a chunk because it went so quickly! 50+ min flying by like that is a testament to how good and gripping the whole thing was from animations, voice acting, music and overall quality and pacing of the story. Brilliant work and dedication 🫡
Baldemort's voice is so unique that you can so easily pick him out of a big cast with just a few words, haha. Good on him for lending his talent to this.
What is Baldemort most know for? I know the voice but am drawing a blank on where I recognize it most from? Almost think it's someone who's done cinematics for blizzard
@@TimmyMicBobbins He does lore videos, that often have a really well written and narrated story beforehand to introduce the subject. For some of his best work, look up his video on the Night Lords.
Now THIS is Warhammer 40k to me. THIS is what awaits us in the grim darkness of the far future.. I was just showing my partner that there is no reason, there is no minimalism, there is only war and praise to the Emperor of Mankind. Essentially, you’d ask, “why are they in a Cathedral in space?” That’s Warhammer to me. This shit is beautiful, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this threatens Warhammer Tv+ or whatever the fuck it’s called.
Getting Baldie and Vox to do some of the VA was a pretty sweet addition to this... love it when creator communities come together to get something cool done.
@@DuBstep115 you new to astartes physiology ? That's lore accurate. They have superhuman reflexes. Also that was the basic bitch level necrons . If that lord pops off, it's a different outcome.
Uhuh and how are they going to make money? How are they going to keep it going? GW will eventually claim it for something, and then what? WHY are people supporting this? You're just setting the creators up for a lot of pain and inevitable depression. Just ask literally every Star Wars fan fic creator how it turns out.
@@DirtyKnickers what’s with the hostility, stranger? The creator does not expect to make any money from this and has stated so in the video as far as I’m aware.
@@DirtyKnickersWhy do people make art at all? Why doesn’t everyone just stay inside all day in their rooms? Because that’s boring and doing this is a lot more fun. You’re also acting like it’s some super hard dilemma, we just wanna see a bunch of robots get their faces smashed in
@@DirtyKnickers I beg to differ. The creator hasn't in anyway asked for a dime. You see any patreon requests? Clearly this is a work of passion for the game. Rare in any era, any medium, but not extinct . We were given a gift. Of course we want more. That's a big ask . He clearly makes his money in other arenas. I don't think trying to "buy" him would be incentive. I dont know him , could be reading this wrong, but I'd posit if we get more , it's outta love and his time .
This is a decent animation, it's the first time I've watched an animation with a dedicated story of the Dark Angels chapter. The Deathwing scene was epic! 21:52 Dance Canoptek Waith dance! Glory to the Lion!
I don't know if any of you guys remember the series of Playstation games called Legacy of Kain back in the late 90s or early 2000's. I absolutely loved those, and this animation really resembles the cut scenes from that. So yes, its a bit primitive, but in a really good and evocative way. It's shortcomings serve the overall look and feel of the subject. This has definitely hooked me!
Wow, the labour of love clearly shows. I’ve never kick started anything and if you get an opportunity I’m sure I’m not the only one that wouldn’t think twice to contribute.
Watched this the day it dropped and was (and still am) very impressed by the whole animation. Outstanding work. It's good that GW seem to have relaxed their iron stance on allowing any fanimations. The obvious love and respect shown for 40k by everyone involved must be celebrated, esp by GW
As a Dark Angels fan I have to point out the “one handed Thunder Hammer” is actually a Raven Wing Corvus Hammer. It’s a great bit of personal character lore, for what I assume is the creator’s OC Captain.
This is so good. Loved the "Just a short film" and it's goddamn 51 minutes lmaooo. YES. The intro was such a good primer to 40k We are not the worst voice actors! Lmao. Just look at the Critical Role, Matthew Mercer, Travis Willingham, Laura Bailey, Ashley Johnson, Liam O'Brien. Okay, okay, besides Critical Role we don't have a lot of good VAs... But the ones we do have are solid! Laura is Jaina Proudmoore, Abby in Last of Us, Kait in GoW, Kid Trunks in DBZ. Travis and Liam do a ton of work with Marvel Animated, and Matt does a lot of work with Blizzard.
I watched the original video last night in it's entirety. Aside from enjoying it, I was really impressed by how good the tools and availability of learning have become in the modern age. It is wild that a guy in his bedroom could create something that almost competes with the quality of professional animation studios with hundreds of employees. Sure, If you gave Pixar a few hundred million to do this is would be technically better, but the fact that one person made something this good in their bedroom is completely wild. The current state of the art in DIY digital animation is completely insane.
I already watched this when it came out on Gabriel's channel, but I watched again with you talking just because it felt like I was hanging out with someone who likes the same stuff I do.
This was fantastic, I hope we see more like it, Also, Im jealous of the guys who get to voice this stuff. I spent a long time cultivating a powerful, deep, and gravelly voice for unrelated reasons, but by the Emperor, it would fit in this setting.
Great animation work. The accent threw me a bit when the DA captain spoke for the first time, wasn't expecting the American accent, then I've been listening to loads of 40k audio books.
@@ghannos9869 I feel like there were parts where they could have done a retake, but once it got into the action most of the captain's voice lines were pretty good.
Legit that was absolutely fantastic i cant even begin to imagine the amount of effort that gabriel put into this. Between the talents of gabriel, the bloke who made astartes and henry cavill 40k would have the absolute coolest IP in modern sci fi cinema as far as im concerned.
The voice sounds like David Bateson (Danish voice actor who did Hitman 47). If he's not: still a huge compliment, that man's voice is amazing. 'Astartes Humor'; that's a straight up quote from JAWS my friend, haha. This video's another great thing!
One day I’d like to see someone make an animation with lore accurate Astartes. We have NEVER had any fan or GW animation showing the incredible superhuman abilities described in lore.
Indeed . This is a testemony to what fans can do and it's an added value to the WH40K scene and not a threat like how GW sees it . They should hire him to make this kind of Episodes and see if they can get that stuff to Amazon or which ever platform they can make a deal with . I'm sure those platforms would be happy with such high quality works .
Constant repeat of Deathwing coming in like the terminator t-800 from the electric ball. Don't think the leader of the Necrons excepted Deathwing to show up.
One thing I find absolutely amazing and funny, if GW does try to copy write it and take it down for their own, Nintendo will also step in. The symbols on the tomb node door are Unknowns, so I don't think GW will touch this project!
"Space marines are like children" My my, if only that statement true in more than one way. Basically legions of Master Chiefs, if he took roids and developed psychic powers
I seen it on his original channel, god emperor it is a beautiful addition to the franchise. I hope he gets all the recognition he deserves
But why doesn’t the god emperor look like Henry Cavill?
the 51mins flew by because the story had me gripped. Truly, a fantastic effort here.
@@stretcher I had that too. 25 mins in and I was gobsmacked how drawn in I was

I love the fact that Baldermort voices the Tech Marine; quite fitting. The Awakening is an Impressive movie - good work.

ITS CANON

It puts Hammer and Bolter to shame.
I like Hammer & Bolter, but they could release a lot more frequently.
I mean hammer and bolter have good story most of the time it’s just they put zero budget in the animation and voice acting
I loved hammer and bolter , I just want more !
Agreed. GW should put fans to work.
A well crafted PowerPoint animation has more slides than Hammer and Bolter.
The story is fine but it is super low budget and it shows.
Short film, proceeds to give us incredible quality animation, awesome stuff
I'm so glad they are getting the praise they deserve. It was a great show. I hope they make many more.
Getting Baldie and Vox to do some of the VA was a pretty sweet addition to this... love it when creator communities come together to get something cool done.
As a Necron fan, I love this film. Such a good job!
I hate Necrons so i like it too. Because a lot of them are get killed :D
Necron weapons only scrape paint off and they never seem to hit target

@@myflatlineconstruct Ironic. Calling someone new when you clearly don't understand the lore. A single shot from a gauss flayer can cripple a marine.

Love this!!! Very familiar to play on many levels. Thank you

It read like a 40k novel, I loved it

Welcome brother
There are the Pokemon Unknowns writed on the necron big door ant min 32 LOL
OH Shit you're right! It's litterally the pokemon Unkown!
Time do decode them then 😋
It is so cool. They really look like animated tabletop models.
Praise the Omnissiah!
Well well well
the introduction is so good
Brilliant work. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It’s pretty sick , I’ll happily watch again with you brother :D
This was awesome. My only regret is that we didn't see more of the Necron self-repair and standing back up.
32:10 Just noticed the writings are Unknown from Pokemon.
Never Forget, Never Forgive, Victory Over Death!
For the lion!
What a wonderful piece of art
That intro could be the first few minutes of the movie its so good at getting one into the setting
If this creator walked into a bar all his drinks would be on my tab. He’s got skills
This is so good, it's ridiculous that only one person did it 👌
This was fantastic, I hope we see more like it, Also, Im jealous of the guys who get to voice this stuff. I spent a long time cultivating a powerful, deep, and gravelly voice for unrelated reasons, but by the Emperor, it would fit in this setting.
I got goose bumps when I listened to: "For The Lion!!!!"
8:15 the animation is a bit rigid to be official quality, but there is so much heart put into this, it's amazing.
It gave me goose bumps, when the Terminator teleported.
I didn't realised i missed standard Space Marine action so much.
That was amazing!!! Best Warhamner movie I’ve seen in a while. Good work.
I watched this yesterday it’s absolutely amazing
Great animation work. The accent threw me a bit when the DA captain spoke for the first time, wasn't expecting the American accent, then I've been listening to loads of 40k audio books.
I wasn't expecting the george takei accent...

Finally terminmators presented as they should
Whoa whoa whoa, this isn’t Space Marine 2.
😂😂😂😂
this Animation was incredible, watched it when it debuted. awesome video
Legit that was absolutely fantastic i cant even begin to imagine the amount of effort that gabriel put into this. Between the talents of gabriel, the bloke who made astartes and henry cavill 40k would have the absolute coolest IP in modern sci fi cinema as far as im concerned.
HOLY EMPORER THAT WAS FANTASTIC.
I 100% agree with your point at the end.
Valrak needs Foil sunglasses
almost has a Tim burton feel to it.. holy moly incredible art
Spartans of the future if they still thrived!
already seen 4 times on original channel - i think this is the best interpretation of termination teleportation I have seen in an animation.
Awesome, thanks!
That was fantastic , absolutely brilliant , 😊
This was actually better as shows how space marines don't die easily, that way more tougher and fight longer as veterans!!
Was amazing!!!
Why was this so FKING SICK! Why and HOW do we not have a live action version of this WTF!
a month later our dear beloved brother gabriel will receive ... such important letter from GW . . .
Yeah, there was no mistaking Baldermort here. So recognisable.
thanks for bringing this to light. I chose to watch it without ur waffling lol.

Well done man! Well done indeed
Perfect timing got an hour of doing nothing this will fill the time in perfectly
Glory to the first born!
Wow, wow, wow , outstanding

All this is making me think is “goddamn the Necrons need to come to Space Marine 2…they could work pretty well as a hoard enemy.”
yep. fan made stuff is the best stuff to make other people join.
Imagine how mad these guys got, when Lion returned with the Risen
Would watch this every week!!!$$$+++
Great effort
Bro wtf how can 1 person make somting this epic
How this fan made movie is better than everything on warhammer+ is so disapointing, Gw need to hire this man!
That intro hits so hard
My son. The day you were born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name
