- What happens when you mix a commissar with heretics? You get sweet, sweet bolt pistol action.
This short animation took around a month for the animation, lighting and sound design altogether. There's some heavy jank I know, but I'm still trying to improve my skills, so if you have any critique, feedback or suggestions, please let me know! That way, I'll be able to make even better animations next time!
Also let me know what do you think of the sound effects, I hope blowing my ears out mixing and matching sound effects was worth it.

Commissar: *tries to fire his bolt pistol only to realize he’s out of rounds* “Heretic! Hold my blade while I reload!”
10 out of 10 would do it again
lol
Sorry for ruining your 666th likes.
Oh no problem
Sonny hold this for me
So this is what happens when the Commisars run out of Guardsmen to throw at a problem.
Fine I’ll do it myself
Arkos A no this is what happens to the commissars who were supposed to be attached to the death korps of krieg before the departmento munitorum realized they're presence was unnecessary as well as detrimental due to the death korps executing the commissars for not being as eager to die for the emperor
Want something done right you do it yourself lmao
@Miguel Ramos both hands - although, yes, one at a time
If you want a job done right, do it yourself and set the example
Remember. The guardsmen are to protect the enemy from the commissar
This is awesome!
Tell this to the death korp of krieg
@@anuvav9524 with them, the commissar protect the enemy from the guardsmen
@@johnbourlier7883 won't that be heresy ?? Like stopping the guardsmen killing the enemy of imperium of man??
@@anuvav9524 in the case of kriegsmen, the commisar keeps them from needlessly throwing their lives away.
I admire this representation, however may I point out I would NEVER be seen not shouting words of encouragement and spite towards my men and the traitors
When the day comes when I manage to get my hands on a model with proper mouth movements, rest assured your words shall reach the ends of the Imperium
@@AbsolutelyNothing I am resting very assuredly:)
This wasn't a critique btw, the animation is honestly amazing, I love the momentum and flow - my favourite bit is the reload where he leaves the chainsword in, so awesome work mate:))
@@imperialcommisar5279 must be the strong and Silent type
I mean let's be honest if you're so scary you don't even need to say anything to terrify your men you're definitely doing something right
Maybe your attached to a Krieg regiment. No need for encouragement. And you save your insults for traitors who deserve it. These scum aren't even worth insulting.
This whole short film can be condensed into one sentence; RUN UP GET DONE UP HERETIC!!!
You cant just reload while being engaged by enemy infantry
Commissar: Hold my holy blade
Literally
That was my favorite part. He was like hold this, reload now die.
In your torso.
Correction, holy blades
Guardsman: "commisar! Where are your going?!"
Commisar: "Isn't it clear? I want to hit the heretics with my sword!"
-Mr. Commissar, what kind of strategy is this?!
-I AM THE STRATEGY!!!
Krieger: *equips shovel* I like this commissar
@@blazetheplaneswalker
Krieger: Can we keep him
"Drive me closer, i want to hit them with my sword"
ua-cam.com/video/jBYMyaxDScQ/v-deo.html
THESE GLORIOUS BASTARDS PRACTICALLY DO EXACTLY THAT
(in their vids)
Finally a commissar who inspires me to charge
@@ReptilianLepton well to be fare its less inspiration more like threaten them with death
Kriegsman: Wait, your commissars charge?
If you do not feel inspired by simply serving in this Emperor's army then you sure are no guardsmen. Have this man stripped down and tied for summary execution.
Oh boy, is that some heresy i smell?
@Commissar Cain Hey commissar is desecration of the Blood God's rituals against regs? I figure if we sacrificed Chaos minions it fuck things up for them and make for a good mockery.
Commissar: heretic hold this for me will ya *sticks chainsword in the heretics chest*
Commissar: Thank you.
Same energy as ASDF movie and the bomb.
Oh no problem sir! :)
I said it before on the WIP posts, I'll say it again.
Just remember everyone, the Commissars undergo the same training as tempestus scion and even go to the same school, the Schola Progenium, he made an accurate representation on his channel of what they can do, so watch that if you aren't sure how effective they are in lore, and remember, please do not fight your local Commissar, *you will not win.*
Just to add:
The imperial storm troopers are the people who went to the Schola Progenium and *didn't* make the cut.
@@chaz706 still, they kick some serious ass. And if they're the ones who didn't make the cut, just how powerful are commissars?
@@CBRN-115 at least a notch or two above the Imperial Storm Troopers. These people aren't well connected political busybodies. These people are immensely strong both in body and mind who are willing to live, fight, and die for the Emperor whilst inspiring others to do so.
I see you
Yeah, but a whole lot get fragged. You don't have to be a combat master to roll a melta bomb into the tent of a particularly cruel commissar. Er, I mean, to be unable to prevent his valiant death in battle, which is how it will be reported. Ciaphas has a few words to say in his memoirs about the short life expectancies of try hard commissars.
0:30 "We have you surrounded"
". . .All I'm surrounded by is fear and dead men"
Nice Vader reference.
@@LukeSkywalker-fm1dc eyyyy
"Go that means I won't miss"
I love how he leaves his running chain sword in a heretic to reload the bolt pistol in such a casual manner. Like “oh, one second...there we go.”
Really like how the bolt pistol explodes people when it hits them! You don’t see that enough.
It helps represent lore more accurately. I mean, they’re 75 caliber high explosive rounds for the Emperor’s sake!
Jonathan Meyer high explosive, rocket propelled rounds
imagine getting hit by a can of redbull moving at terminal velocity, now imagine that it explodes on contact
@@jobeelms4694 Not exactly on contact, it actually penetrate the target before exploding. They are designed that way.
@@jobeelms4694 a can of red bull is a lot wider than a .75 caliber projectile lol
0:32
When the fear of a Commissar is so strong, it still lingers in a heretics mind from its days as a guardsman. Only then does the Commissar smiles.
Exactly what I was thinking. He remembers the pain of the whip.
Ah, finally some Commissar badassery. Smooth and action-ridden animation. You have a good grip on how bolt weapons should feel. Noisy, powerful knockback and devastating impacts. And props for paying attention to the clip size of a bolt pistol (8 shots for human variants). I always have to cringe when a bolt pistol throws out 12-16 shots without having to be reloaded.
Glad you liked it! I was disappointed by how bolters are in animations (except Astartes, thats good shit) so decided to animate my own. I actually don't know the capacity of a bolt pistol, so I just based it off of a Desert Eagle, the closest equivalent we have to a bolt pistol irl I suppose.
@@AbsolutelyNothing Astartes has a good grip on how the weapons work (dat Plasma Pistol~) but the Bolt Pistol of the lead Astartes has quite a lot of shots... The only reference I know is from the Fantasy Flight P&P rule books, which say 8 shots per clip. Astartes Bolt Pistols have more, of course, 12 irrc.
But I feel you. Especially non-fan animations display Bolters as mere assault rifles and not as semi-automatic, micro-rocket launchers with mass reactive HE rounds.
In the game Space Marine they have 10 bullets 🤙
@@hayleyhammer4035 iirc, in the games of Deathwatch and Black Crusade the Astartes Bolt Pistols have 12 rounds per clip. Human Bolt pistols have smaller mags.
I just find it hard to take Space Marine as a reliable source as they had to make adjustments to fit an arena shooter. I mean, in that game the melta is a weird ass shotgun and the stalker bolter is the loudest weapon in the game.
i counted 7 shots before he reloaded but hey might've shot someone before the video started
That was really good.
Also my comment on r/Warhammer40k about bolter damage stands here too. It really is awesome.
@@honorablespartan gorgeous Freeman

White scars - animation pleas wath ua-cam.com/video/411p4Nq7x50/v-deo.html
About that beer i owe ya.
People forget that comissars are actually some of the most hardened and well trained soldiers that humanity has to offer sans the space marines themselves,not just some old farts that like to shoot their own men.also,might just be me,but I was visualizing after he got all those guns aimed at him him shooting at the sky and a absolutely hail of hellfire rains from his guardsmen at a distance
Heretic:we have you surounded
Commissar:yare yare *shoots flare*
(A storm of red lasgun fire rages on the heretic line)
there are still some people bribing their way to become commissar, but that's just a few
Well, yeah, it's not like the Schola Progenium gives out participation trophies. Players who don't respect Commissars are missing out on 1 of the funnest bits of flavour in the Guard.
@@QuestionableAdviser_ How does one bribe their way into being a Commissar? Since when do we give those filthy Progena brats allowances?
I'd like to imagine these guardsmen turned traitor and their Commissar went out of his way to BLAM every single one of them.
Going for an enthusiastic walk
@@tdpuuhailee8222 Inquisitor Integra: So you went on a stroll through an active battleground...
@@kriegertechpriest7011
Commissar Alucard: Yep.
@@tdpuuhailee8222 Inquisitor Integra: Stumbled upon the Guardsmen squad that you used to be apart of and shot you in the face leaving you for dead. *Augment glows a deeper red*
Finally, a Commissar that enjoys shooting heretics more than us Guards- *BLAM*
OHGAS that's funny in an ironic way because commissars assigned to the death korps of krieg get shot for those exact reasons
@@dionwoollaston5717 because its stated in warhammer lore that the death korps are even more loyal than most soldiers. It could be argued that the death koros are the only most loyal humans. Sure there are astartes, but many have turned before. There are a few chapters who I do think will never turn though
@@Joseph-nj6pk You mean like ThE gReAtEsT oF tHeM aLl? ThE UlTrAmArInEs?
@@frenchsoldier8485 i mean, I guess. The death korps are the most loyal guardsmen in the imperium
@@Joseph-nj6pk definitely
*Stabs with chainsword*
Hold this for me
*Proceeds to reload while the dude just stares at him in disbelief*
XD
Oh not problem :) - *OH BY THE CHAOS GODS SHOOT ME NOW!*
FOR THE EMPEROR!!
Considering those were guardsman lasguns, still painted with the aquilas on, I feel just seeing the Commissar was inciting some intense regret in those heretics.
If you fight, the enemy may kill you. But if you flee or desert, *he will kill you.*
AbsolutelyNothing?
More like AbsolutelyFantastic.
This is really amazing.
I would follow this man into battle, not out of fear, but out of pride.
A commissar must always strive to inspire by example
Heretics' morale decreased just because they looked at the Commissar...
Maybe they do remember when they were fighting for the Imperium of Man lol
They recall, in thier last moments, why they would have been better off serving mankind than forsaking it.
The most common reason is 25mm.
@@furiousfinch1587 Actually, common bolt are only 0.75 inch(19mm), heavy bolter round are 1 inch(25mm)
@@furiousfinch1587 your arms would be torn off if you try shooting that in real life.
@@mirroredvoid8394 Correct. Commissars are often augmented by the Mechanicus' representatives in order to better serve the Imperium, for instance by operating Bolt weapons without powered armour.
@@furiousfinch1587 Oh, I was wondering how they pulled that off.
I know I’m risking a bolt to the brain, but perhaps the imperial guard would find a greater margin of success if the commissars did this more often rather than waste ammo on their own troops.
Their veterancy in command, tactics and morale is more valuable than their individual capacity to fight. Shooting Guardsmen is done only in two cases: traitors, and deserters.
Basically it's just a meme. Most Commissars are perfectly reasonable, highly trained, competent officers who very, very rarely blam their own. Those who do and are like common meme... Tend to quickly die through accidents or ork sniper's fire :)
@@Aurilion44 Or they happen to be a commissar from Jopall.
@@Aurilion44 So... your saying I shouldn't command my commissars attached to my guard regiments to kill one of them so my max cap infantry charge at the enemy base so they decide to shoot faster is *not efficient*
@@GlitchTechV1 Game-wise it is. Lore wise... That comissar isn't gonna last after that skirmish.
Here traitor, be a good chap and hold this for me while I reload *Sticks chainsword into the soldier*
This Commissar: "Fine, I'll do it myself"
The recoil of the Bolt Pistol is on point, how it rocks the entire human body every time the trigger is pulled.
That one moment when you're whole team is dead,and there is 47 seconds left of this match.
And instead of finishing the objective for 500th time you just want to take as many of them as possible with you.
The commissar is the objective
What a Hero of the Imperium
If only that was Ciaphas Cain in that video and it would have been PERFECT.
@@rexlumontad5644 who knows, it could be Caiphas Cain in 20-30 some odd years, finally rid of his imposter syndrome, embracing who he truly is.
The Hero of Guardsmen, right next to Commissar Yarrick
@@Dragonspirit223 That would be awesome when that happens
"A good friend of mine said; that to make criminals fear something, you have to give them something to be afraid of." -Jim Gordon reciting Batman's quote.
In this case; you want to give the enemy and the troops something to fear? Give them a commissar with nothing better to do.
Works quite well with penal legions too.
@@marrqi7wini54 Nothing like piling bodies on top of bodies; because nothing beats killing your own troops to make everyone die faster!
I swear that could be a life hack meme.
Is your army not dying fast enough? Then put a large number of bored Commissars among your soldiers! They will be dead in no time! Chaos forces hate this life hack!
"Hold my chainsword"
brutal, bloody and badass. just the way we like it!
0:39 POV You get to help assist with morale boost on the front line
"There you see how it is done." - Commissar Lord Bernn
Just stands there, reloads while the chain sword is buried in a traitor, nice. Even the traitors are afraid of the commissar 😂
Is it wrong if I genuinely thought he'd be shooting his own men at first? Gotta keep that morale up
I wouldn't be surprised of those cultists *were* once his own men. They're holding imperial lasguns, freshly painted with aquilas still on, even, and they seem mightily fucking scared.
@@xXFuzzeeXx Oh this makes this 40 times better
Well how else are you going to make them shoot faster?
"the best way to make your men go to something scary at the front is to put something scarier at the back"
Commissars are selected not only from the most inspiring of soldiers, but from the ones with extraordinary martial prowess as well.
I like how this ends with the starting pose. You could make a loop out of this.
spoilers*
he is not dead. carapace armor and a refractor field? he isn't dead.
Dude the leaving the chainsword in the guy to reload was the best.
*[BLAMMING]* intensifies
Comissar: If you think that's good, you should see what I do to my men!
That reload when sawsword is stabbed in one of the heretics is badass.
For those that have never seen a commisar before, these guys or girls have powerful armor under their coat called "carapace armor". Space Marines have that under their main Power Armor, for context on how powerful a Space Marine is.
Omg when he reloads his bolt pistol while the chainsword is stuck in the heretic! Just brilliant
There’s nothing scarier than a Commissar who shows his wrath, in the calmest way, possible.
Really cool ! Like the flow of action and the reload part is exceptional
The best way to make your men fight terrors beyond understanding?
Get someone scarier to stand behind them.
This is the ideal Commisar, you may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.
Ah commisar lord Bern, lets drive him closer so he can hit them with his sword
Heretic: i fear no man but that commissar is scares me
Soo good. First time viewer, am subbing cause your work is awesome
Ayyyyy thanks! Welcome aboard the slow af upload train!
0:42
POV: You spoke out of turn to suggest a strategy that didn't involve human wave tactics.
*"THAT'LL teach you all for deserting!"*
0:20
hold my chainsword real quick
Pls make one where he kills xenos like what the emperor intended instead of only human (they are heretics, but still)
Ork warboss Gurk: "Imma gonna end tha' humie career"
0:20 “Do you mind if you hold my chainsword for a moment? Thank you.”
What makes this even better?
It loops
If the commissar turns your squad member into an "inspiring example", make sure to learn from it. These officers already know how to fight and what loss is, your squad doesn't.
Edit: Unless you're a Krieger, in which case that commissar is just there to make sure you live for a proper assault and not die without good reason to.
The reload with the chainsword still in the dudes chest was excellent! A fine example for the rest of the troops!
This is absolutely incredible! If I'm gonna be honest, the SFM Warhammer videos on UA-cam (especially your guardsman vids) have been an inspiration and finally gave me the last push I needed to go into 3D animation. Figured I'd start with SFM, Lord knows I've got a long road ahead of me. Please keep up the amazing work!
Glad to hear you liked em! Good luck on your animation journey, if you need any help with SFM or animation in general, just give me a message! I'm still rough around the edges, but do DM me on twitter or elsewhere if you need help!
@@AbsolutelyNothing That would be awesome! I'm afraid I do not have a twitter, but I do have some starter questions. Is there perhaps another way to dm you?
FOR EMPERORS SAKE THIS IS BLOODY AMAZING!
0:18 the Commissar be like: Hold this while I reload.
This is why they say "fear me, but follow"
This must be Gaunt when he gets older.
Everybody gangsta till the commissioner fuels up his chainsword
I wonder. Have we ever heard about a competent Blod Pact guardsman/cannon fodder? Even Imperium has some named guardsmen that kick ass but I have never heard any chaos ones.
Not that I'm aware of but I could easily be wrong, good Pact and other Traitor Gyard tend to be faceless cannon fodder, with typically only high ranking members being named. Would be awesome though if that weren't the case.
Man's said, "hold this"
Looking around the darkened battlefield, the Commissar called out to his fellow Guardsmen and received only silence in response. His heart sank at the realization that he was the last Imperial standing. As if to add injury to insult, a shot rang out, and he was spun around by the impact on the back of his armor, an inch too far to the left of his heart.
"Close but no cigar!" he thought as he leveled his bolt pistol and returned the favor tenfold, obliterating the heretic 50 yards away.
He ducked and fled into the fire as bullets whizzed by, camouflaging himself with the flames and smoke as he prepared to avenge the fallen.
"All the times I brought the hammer down on them, it was to motivate them to win and *survive,"* he growled to no one as his eyes moistened, "Countless fathers, sons, and their families back home, all counting on me to bring as many of them back as possible...and I failed all of them..."
Glancing the glow of the herectics' night vision closing in like a swarm of venomous insects, the Commissar reloaded his pistol and readied his chain sword.
"I let them down, but I won't face them again on the other side until I've avenged them to the best of my abilities," he thought, "Time to practice what I've preached.
Looking out at the piles of burning wreckage, he was pleased to see that the heretics hadn't pinned down his location and were scattered about, looking around. If he did this right, he could move between piles of wreckage and pick off quite a few of them before they got a bead on him.
Casually walking around one of the wreckage piles, the disgraced Commissar came face to face with a heretic who was stunned still at the sudden sight of a bolter pistol staring him in the face.
Tightening his finger, the Commissar growled, "For the Emperor!" and pulled the trigger.
(video begins)
"Throne! That commissar is tearing through them! Why isn't he with his plutoon?"
"Well, Vox operator William convinced him that it was a friendly division who was retreating our way."
I feel like everyone forgets how much of a fighting badass the commissars are
0:40
“So heretic, before you take up this romantic notion of being a servant to the dark gods…let me ask you a question… *Are you prepared to die for your cause?* “
I love the sound of that bolter pistol so much I keep watching this video every few times a day
0:19 Casually reloads weapon while chainsword is inside enemy.
Commissars choose to wield the bolter pistol mostly due to its distinctive, loud report when firing. It draws attention to them as commanders and officers, whether they are using it on the enemy army to join his guardsmen in the assault and encourage them by example...or to remind them of the penalty for cowardice or incompetence. Every commissar is feared. A good commissar is feared and respected.
“Hold this while I reload”
The Commisar must have been in an extremely bad mood.
What it lacks in visual fineness it makes up for in the smoothness of the movements and accuracy of details. Really good job
Say what you will about Commisars, (or don't, if they're nearby)
but in a fight they're all basically Stormtroopers.
Meaty sound of the boltgun - check. Heretics exploding in a blood mist as the bolt round hits them - check. I'm a simple guy. This depiction of 40k weaponry pleases me. Many thanks to the animator, 0.47 seconds of enjoyment.
both the animation itself and the feeling are incredible.
The bold blows up whatever is on the wrong side of the weapon, and the recoil is really felt when you see the bolt pistol firing.
So cool to see a bolt pistol with appropriate kickback 😈
The bolter blowing them up in one shot makes a lore man like me happy I love how the bolters are minature rockets
"Now let's crank it up, release the Berserkers!... What? He's already dead? Well, predictable" (c)
One reason the Commissar keeps the men motivated is not merely through the fear of execution, but because he leads by example.
Fight, that you may accomplish deeds as badass as this man.
What a chad that commissar is
Now add sounds from dawn of war and we are good to go lol For Terras Golden Throne and the Imperium of Man!
That bolter reloading moment was epic)
The way the Commissar stabbed a guy and was reloading his gun before finishing the guy off...cool! 👍
Leaving the chainsword inside someone while reloading.......Love that
Ork: “I fear no humie, but dat fing, it scares me”
GORGEOUS
There might have been a texture bug whenever he killed someone. It looked like it wasn’t a guardsman? Hope this was helpful :)
The way he leaves his chainsword in that one guy to reload his gun.
"Can you hold this for me?" (Click click) "Thank you."
Can we just take a moment to appreciate just how badass Lord Bernn was in Retribution , and how this is exactly how i imagine him fighting alone .
Remember , he was trained for this day ! xD
The dude bitch slaps carnifexs like it's Tuesday.
Just watched your first fully assembled short film, and it is a pleasure to find these earlier vids showing you build up your skills, great work, looking forward to seeing more: creators like yourself are building a golden era for 40k content after so long as a niche sub genre, thank you :)
Other commisars:deluded c***s.
This commisar: "Stay here guardsmen . Im going out....for a walk"
