[@oldeskul]

I wished this animation showed just how nimble knights can be. Even the largest varieties can leap, do combat rolls and pirouette gracefully. I also wish they'd have shown the ion shields deflecting shots.

[@nightlock826]

Leap? Yes, Combat rolls? Fuck no, they can spring and jump which automatically makes them the third-best walker in the galaxy behind Tau suits and Eldar wraith constructs

[@ledzep215]

That's been my issue with these animations. They always seem to forget about shields. In the Blood Angels show the damn ships fly apart like they're made of Legos after one shot. The Exodite is the only one so far that mostly got the wargear right.

[@kingskelett6265]

The armigers at least are relatively fast and also snap around, but yeah the bigger ones are kinda slow and more like titans are.

[@markfreeman4727]

Well i doubt the giant knights like the Tyrant class (imperial name escapes me) can do that but everyone other class absolutely.

[@telelkhajiit7910]

If the story had been different and if it had just been knight suit on knight suit I'd agree with their movement. But if you look at the story then their movement becomes somewhat symbolic. The stoic solemn match of the honorable towards destiny vs the implacable advance of sin and degradation. All while the rest of the world swirls about swiftly beneath them both. Faster but uktimarkey still beneath what truly matters. Or something like that.

[@Dallows65]

@@alalalus7692 *Uhm AKSHUYALLY* bonding with machine comes from bonding with ones steed, which predates the concepts of Mechas in GENAERAL *Hnyuk*. But for real, the trope is ancient because it draws from actual history. In this case, nobody copied anybody without first having copied history to begin with. It's all silly fanboyism for sure.

@emwZEEK while i get what ur trying to say i feel like a lot of writers have ur mind set where they put a plot point in because its "cool" and not because it makes sense its like the knights in this video being slow brawlers moving like titans to show that their big and heavy when in reality they should be quick and nimble and have ion shields to block projectiles , like yes a titan would be cool but why would a titan be on the world its a literal titan meaning there would be a titanicus house out there in the void missing a reaver or even warlord class titan that just wouldnt happen

[@emwZEEK]

@@battlebrotherwh40k34 arnt titans relics of the dark age of humanity that cannot be manufactured anymore? Doesn't the imperium find lost artifacts all the time? Surely they don't have a list of every titan ever made and where they are, the imperium record keeping is awful.

[@battlebrotherwh40k34]

@emwZEEK i mean firstly only warmonger and imperator classes cant be made anymore but warhound to warlords can but anyways i get what u was trying to say and yes while the imperium it self is trash at logistics...the adeptus mechanicus isnt they have far less bureaucracy to do ESPECIALLY when it comes to retrieving a whole titan like what would be the backstory of a titan being on the planet if it was from previous colonisation then the world would atleast be pre forge if not full fledged forge world a titan is a physical representation of their god its like a prophet, maybe even their primarch (heresy i know) so the world would have a whole legion based there so where are they now if they had a war with chaos then reports would have been sent out blah blah ive thought about it and its reaaaallly long to explain so long story short i dont like that plot point

Throughout thousand of years, us people, our ancestors brought invention and art from a lesser and more base form to an ever refined, accumulated form. They worshipped plays, and had paintings like the Mona Lisa and the lessons we took from that. Now, at this very moment we live in a world where every single scene in a movie, every single fucking frame is beyond the capacity of what billions of people had throughout history... Every frame here represents a most glorious art, like a davinci painting, a mona lisa painting. A castle, a theatre, a story... We fucking have it all... And even today, as we live in this gross wealth, billions of other people do not have access to this technology. To this stories and moving paintings that are just...beyond anything that's ever been. That's why I am extra grateful for it. I just cannot take it for granted and it is worthy of a million praises and more. Simply astonishing.

[@Dreez76]

I have to say, that knight-armor doesn't look much thicker than a tank from today. One would think the knights would be clad in armor. Also, @ 16:40 we can see a single shot from whatever weapon it is, easily punch a huge hole clean through a knight and kill it, so why doesn't a majority of knights carry this armament which would render them able to take out a vast majority of enemies at range and not risk melee ?. If you can engage your enemies in an open field, artillery or hardhitting ranged weapons are clearly better than knives.

CounterPoints either forgotten or ignored the 2 largest known Knight Classes, the Cerastus and Acastus. The Cerastus has 4 main variants: the Acheron which is armed with a massive and powerful Flamer on one arm and a large Chainfist with in-built Heavy Bolters on the other, the Lancer which is equipped with a long&powerful shock lance on one arm and an ion gauntlet shield on the other(there's one depicted on some of the tapestries in the Broken Lance Animation), the Castigator which has a Bolt Cannon on one arm and a Tempest Warblade which is as long as a SpaceMarines Rhino APC and lastly the Atrapos which is armed with an extremely large&high quality LasCutter reminiscent of the modified Mining Laser that the famous Questoris Class Canis Rex has and a massive, exotic and brutal Graviton Singularity Cannon. The Acastus Class has 2 known variants, both of which have extremely long-range weapons powerful enough to consistently destroy multiple SuperHeavy Tanks or cripple an unshielded Battle Titan with a well placed vollley. The Acastus Class is also nearly as tall as a Warhound Scout Titan, and appears to have more thorough Armour Plating but is significantly slower and doesn't have any Void Shields. The Acastus Porphyrion is armed with 2 sets of twin-linked Magna LasCannons, each individual one is almost as large as a Volcano Cannon...and it has 4 of them, 2 per Arm. It also has a massive Missile Launcher System usually equipped with Ironstorm Missiles or Anti-Air Warheads, and it can have 2 AutoCannons or 2 LasCannons, one on either side of its head. The Acastus Asterius has 2 sets of twin-linked Heavy Conversion Beam Cannons, which shoot out concentrated beams of antimatter. For secondary armaments it has a very large Missile Launcher System built into the Carapace that can fire the same Rad Warheads that the Mechanicums Karacnos Mortars used, aswell as having 2 Volkite Culverins[one mounted on either side of its head]. The Acastus Class and Cerastus Class Knights were very rare even during the Great Crusade, and as such most of the surviving Warsuits were placed deep inside the stasis vaults of the Knight Households that still had any after the apocalyptic battles of the Horus Heresy and The Scouring, and very few of those Warsuits survived into M42. So whenever they are seen in Battle, it is guaranteed that whomever deployed them is very desperate.

Has anyone ever told you that you look like the child of Ron Swanson?

[@Counterpoints]

No but very based

[@ryneagheilim9782]

Youre quite fit as a dad man. Once a marine always a marine. Great job

Im shocked GW would let such a detailed breakdown of the video stand. Happy they have thought.

[@williamraabe8239]

Long time viewer. I absolutely love your reviews and breakdowns. There are a number of music videos as a backdrop to Warhammer 40K (Thunderstruck, Welcome to the Jungle, etc). I am curious on how you would review these?

[@Counterpoints]

You can email some to me and I’ll see if I can do it somehow

So are the Knights like damned by Nurgle until the last of their name?

[@Counterpoints]

@@danmoua7686 yes

[@billperry8418]

Brilliant breakdown as always, thank you! Such a shame on the amination side, though. I was really hoping for some "oomph" with this short but nahhh

[@vicious7580]

It seems to me that the god we all know, like you says at 20:00, did exist inb the 40k univers. But i remenber that the emperor maked all religions dissapear before the great crusade. I even remender the part when he has to kill the last "priest". But not shure of all that of course, didn't read any books, just watching video of 40k.

[@JinzoMask656]

Thanks for the glimpse! Reinforces why Im probably never going to sub for Warhammer+. This animation has too much screen shaking. Also no effects with the chainsword or powerfist, gatling cannons not rotating. It's obvious the people who animate this aren't great. Although it would be good for a fan animation, as a monthly sub payment to a company, not great and not worth.

[@TchHry]

Interesting warhammer in the background, who sells that one?

[@johncolvin2754]

I read this story if was axe xan someone remind me which story or book it was i think it was maybe across a few different horus herresy books

[@masterofrockets]

This is awesome, just wish they put a tad bit more in sound design

[@BlindSeeker0-5]

What software did they use to make this?

[@g.o.a.t9804]

Maya

[@codynolan3725]

I had no idea nurgle could take hold of titans

[@ARMANDO-c6h]

Brother, there is a 72mm bolter in this world & in our timeline. Plasma cannons as well but you know how the government is.

[@curatorx5702]

Im confused, I thought her father ( the old king) was fucking melted by the now queen? I mean no human would have any body part left after being blasted full on by that thermal spear or whatever its called? Also didn't the Titan have its chest blown open? How does nurgle fix a titan like that
