Cadianos vs Tiránidos - Hammer and Bolter

[@theduke7539]

This perfectly captures just how horrific the life of any single guardsmen is, but also shows why fighting the guard is itself a terrible prospect. No matter how powerful you are, there are always more of them than there are of you, and the planet they are standing on will fall before they surrender

[@GoodAvatar]

*OR* , conversely, if the enemies can match their numbers (Tyranids/Orks) then they can't match their artillery or armored divisions. As scary as a Carnifex is (Extremely scary) it doesn't match the equivalent weight of Leman Russ's. As numerous, as bloody minded and horrifically tough as the Orks are, as aggressive as they are, they aren't immune to artillery, bombardments, aircraft, biological weapons. So far as I'm concerned, humanity has a terrifying place in the W40K Universe. Humanity can gum up, outfight, outmaneuver, or long-term-strategize the races that outnumber it. For the races that *Humanity* outnumbers, it's a terrifying disaster campaign against beings that can out-tech, out-maneuver, out-psychic and isolate individual humans to our extreme detriments...... But they can't kill enough of *US* for that tech to overwhelm us in detail. That's why we tend to *lose* in tactics, but *win* when it comes to overall strategy. We ride that fine balance. And we have Space Marines. We have *SCARIER* stuff than Space Marines if the excrement truly hits the fan.

someone in the Imperium should really tell the Adeptus Mechanicus to stop supplying the Imperial Guards with those useless flashlights, and start instead mass producing heavy caliber ballistic guns like the pistols the Commissars are been given, because it look like the most effective gun in the Imperial Guards are mainly used against those that are failing their duties instead of the enemy.

[@rebel1717]

Have your met the Mechanicus mate? They’d rather die sieging Terra than share their tech with “weak fleshlings.”

[@derricktsai3157]

It's a running joke at this point but bolter pistol / bolters are too difficult and too expensive to reproduce to outfit the guards. Lasguns only seem weak because IG's enemies are overpowered, especially since Tyranids evolves constantly as they take damage. Lasguns have near infinite ammo and requires a lot less maintenance than your standard bolter and a well placed las shot between a space marine's armor can kill them instantly. Las guns are much more powerful than an autogun, which is often used by heretics and renegades. The target they killed was a carnifex, the tyranids' equivalent of a tank, it's honestly kind of too strong that they actually managed to down one with only las gun, plasma rifle, and a grenade. A bolter / bolt pistol fires a armor piercing rocket rather than a bullet, which is why they're far more effective than a las gun.

[@voidishprattles4319]

Brah why would they make a gun that costs *more* than the solider using it. The heavy caliber weapons are for the Space Marines... You know the guys who's plan isn't "just throw 50,000 guys at them and then blow the planet up 🤷"

[@MrPumpkinsss]

I think in one of the novels a space marine tells a guardsman that making one bolterround consumes as much resources and time as making one lasgun

[@epicnessinacan]

Lasguns are actually AMAZING weapons. You can change their settings to grant more killing power, recharge the power pack by tossing it into a fire and it requires very little maintenance. Compare that to a bolter; which is expensive to make, harder to maintain and most important the ammunition is heavy and difficult to transport (even more so since there is not such thing as a galactic standard bolt round size for humans). This is why guardsmen fight in combined arms; infantry supported by tanks, aircraft, heavy weapons special weapons, etc.

For those that are griping about the animation quality, remember that this series is built on the "animated comic book" style.

Other studios have produced content similar in style to this, with hundreds of people, and millions of dollars in budget. Despite this, you didn't seem to have an issue with those shows, but you have an issue here? I have a legitimate challenge for you: if you think you can do better, then go out, get a computer, the art programs you feel comfortable with, and you try to make something better. Who knows, you might get an email from GW with a job offer like these guys did. A job offer that meant they could safely walk away from the grind of their previous 9-5 and get to work on something they have a passion for while making sure their bills are paid.

That’s why everyone is angry, because even if they wanted to or were able to make a better 40k animation their work will get banned.

But funding through them isn't guaranteed, and can be ripped away from you at the drop of a hat for reasons that only they know, or worse, not enough people see the animation at all to even trip the algorithm on KZbin. Meanwhile, GW offers these animators 80K+ per year, and they can work from home. And that's been shown to have a devil-may-care release schedule (IE, GW isn't breathing down their necks to get things out). So for 80K/yr you could work from home, on a project you want to make, on a time schedule that suits you? And the only requirement is that you pay attention to the lore? Not exactly a bad deal, and could look good on a resume if you opt to go on to something else late on.

How does a flesh and blood creature successfully diffuse THAT MUCH HEAT through its body without any of its vital organs being cooked? How is it THAT ABLE to resist all the fluids in its body being vaporized? Must have some sort of natural coolant or anti-conductive compounds floating around in its bloodstream, or something similar in its cells. I can understand the armored carapace on its head and back being made of some sort of refractive material like ceramite, but the rest of its body took a hilarious amount of hits, and no guardsman with more than half a brain cell would try to burn through its carapace.

[@craddocraddoc]

I mean, it is quite close to the old wargames. I do remember a friend of mine playing tyranids against my imperial guard, getting close with a carnifex worth hunderts of points to my group of - I think - 40 guardsmen. Gave them the order "first line fire, second line fire" or something like that to double their shots and killed that thing even with 2+ saves on his side.

[@JackwagonInc]

The more I have watched this bit, the more I have come to appreciate what the artists and animators accomplished within the budgets they were allowed. Each image is gritty, the deaths are brutal and drawn out by the limited frames, the tension and air of oppressive nihilism are thick, and the sheer horror of what life is like in the guard and what facing the tyranids is like is beyond clear. It reminds me of the Castlevania anime, but without the level of freedom and budget.

How about the carnifex that just jumped down a trench, kill some guardmen and decide to stand still for at least 3 seconds, enduring lasgun shots while surrounded by tasty biomass just waiting to be devoured? 🤡 Any respectable hive tyrant would just send it to a reclammation pool to be made into a ripper swarm.

I like the style :) I understand that there arent many frames etc, but it is another reason why I wish that warhammer+ was not a paid service. Shows like this should be made free, and so then others can always donate. I think it'd make more money this way vs. being locked into a paid service.

Lasguns are weak asf. Because they need to clear their advantage point to the enemy’s weakest spot. But bolters will do a thing at all. Unless they need a proper fully equipped Lasguns with enough firepower.

[@patrickiamonfire965]

1:15 where's the guy with plasma before this? They're holding off these enemies very well. If only they were equipped with better weaponry and gear. I know a million lasguns can put anything to shame but there isn't a million lasgun in every cornor or battle or even skirmishes. Than again I would prefer the lasgun over unreliable plasma gun or very worn out bolter with few amunnition. I guess the Cadians turn the switch on medium for more fire rate and conserve amunitions to kill more xenos cause I don't see a munition depot near by or anyone carrying extra amunitions for others. Laguns have high damage mode but that degrades the weapon durability cost more battery charge while decreasing the firerate.

1:46 Is that an ogre with a bolter, next to a guy with a mounted heavy bolter and a third with a lasrifle? And they look like they've been shooting at the same thing for a while, maybe over a hundred shots in total. They are basically putting down the firepower of 2 Astartes. The target should be in pieces.

[@chrislatam5423]

@@marianomercado6284 Tipo la serie es "OFICIAL" e incluso echa por los creadores asi que técnicamente no tiene "Libertades" creativas. La serie tiene excelente capítulos (como el de los Space Wolf y el de la Mago) pero otros son bastante fuleros (Sobre todo el primero o segundo que es una legión de Marines contra eldaris). Pero te la recomiendo totalmente como una introducción a Wahammer
