[@ExcessCongruence]

Titans can be destroyed, they cannot die; in that particular scene, the princeps was the one who was dying, being killed by the machine spirit of the Titan itself, because she failed to see the ork trap that made the building collapse on it. Grimaldus managed to convince the machine spirit to let the princeps go and so she lived to raise the Titan from the rubble. It's why she says she owes Grimaldus her life.

[@informationyes]

​@@ExcessCongruence The machine spirit didn't kill her due to the ork trap it was constantly trying to overtake her and drown her in its mindscape as it didn't like being tethered permanently to a precept and its like a constant battle of wills that the princept will eventually lose its also why she fell for the trap as the titans constantly trying to mess with her mind, the building collapse was that extra pressure that weakened her enough for titan to win, also Grimaldus didn't convince the machine spirit of anything more just ordered her back to life as she was duying as like a will power boost because thats what Grimaldus does

The nature of the Stormbird is that a missile hitting just about anywhere with the level of explosivity as that of an Ork missle will down it or damage enough to mean it cannot maintain altitude, hence, the many Ork missiles, most of which are likely to miss in most cases, only require one to hit

She's a Titan among mortals, her will just as big

[@Votic99]

@@Phobosptt If I recall correctly, she was several centuries old by that point. Most princeps that pilot anything bigger than a warhound have their limbs truncated to allow more nerve endings to mesh with the titan. In addition most titans are several millennia old, the majority can trace their history to the great crusade and heresy, so the machine spirits end up with the emotional imprints from all the princeps before embedded within the machine spirit core and the neural link requires some semblance of fighting with the machine to ensure they follow orders. The book Titanicus describes this pretty well.

This was amazing. The only thing that bugged me was that they left the fallen behind. This is not something they do if they can avoid it, the armor will be taken back to be repaired and gifted to another new battlebrother. Other than that they would mark the site and bury it for later retrival.

[@CrazyDutchguys]

Was thinking that too. Astartes armour is extremely rare and expensive and you would definitely not want it to fall to enemy hands. You'd think they'd do some effort to get the body off world back to the main fleet

[@hammer1349]

"Ambushed along enemy portions of Hell's Highway" They were deep in enemy territory and heavily exposed. Waiting for extraction may not have been much of an option. Carrying a fallen space marine is also not ideal. Even by astartes standards, carrying another marine in full armour is quite the task and the ever present danger of the foe as mentioned above is again not much of an option. Returning to the hive with a fallen brother cradled in their arms would also do quite serious morale damage, guardsman seeing one of the Emperor's own angels of death fallen and slain would be a blow that even the preachers may struggle to counteract.

"Are you still going on about that reinforcement?" Pure Gold. 2. The sheer will of Princeps Zaha of Storms Herald, keeping a promise of war and fatality to Grimaldus, despite having sacrificed her mind, body and soul "You promised me that you would walk" and low the Titan rose from the ash, standing tall, roaring in defiance towards the heavens... Pure Gold. 3. Grimaldus and co. being shaken that one of their number, Kedel had died despite the fact that they know that they will inevitably die in the service to the Imperium. What's even more beautiful is the interaction between them all, they have lost someone who had been with them for so long, that their absence can be felt even in Part 12, but the fact that Kadel's death affected Grimaldus in saving the Thunderhawk pilot, not wanting to see another brother in arms die a meaningless death... whilst doing it in style.

@@brendonwiperi710 I shall enlighten you. The emperor's children is the name of one of the traitor legions, more specifically the legion led by Fulgrim, the now demon primarch of Slaanesh. If you want to speak of the loyalist space marines in a general sense, it would be better to just say Astartes, or if you really want to keep up the fancy talk, then the emperor's avenging angels works too. Just, you know, don't refer to them by the name of a traitor legion, especially if you want to keep your organs inside your body.

[@machoflops]

I've only just started to get into 40k in the last few years and I've found that, its the incredible attention to the tiniest details that really resonate within me and drive home the point about how unique and vastly, incomprehensibly more MANLY and inhumanly BADASS warhammer 40k is compared to literally any other fantasy out there. For example, before Grimaldus pulls the Thunderhawk pilot out and saves him, the fact that he is just... unquestioningly immediately ready to sacrifice his life for his brothers, he does this with the same amount of ease as drawing a single breath. Not only this but then the fact that Grimaldus had to literally power down his armor in order to pull him from the cockpit, knowing full well that giving the pilot a direct order to abandon his post would shame and dishonor the pilot beyond belief, and the pilot would likely 100% disobey this order, and Grimaldus understands this and would never do this to one of his brothers, and therefore by disabling his armor, the pilot is now not only going to live, but live with his honor completely intact. Moments like these articulate the fantastically well-done way the authors truly portray astartes as just inconceivably badass gods amongst men that don't place priority on efficiency and survival, but place a much higher priority upon honor, duty, glory, and service to the emperor and their brothers. Another similar moment is when Primus speaks about Kador's death to Nero, and how it is shameful to be slain from behind, capturing the viking-like way in which the Astartes care just as much about dying honorably as well as living honorably.

I think I prefer the old black and white style, it maskered the limits of the tools used and gave the scenary and etheral feel that I really enjoyed. The 9th and 10th episode were the best compromise. between how the looks started and this.

[@brutalcrusadermaulgracies4246]

Oblivius33 , i agree. i liked the sketched or drawn look with a little color , it let your imagination fill in the details but I'm not going to complain, ive definitely enjoyed this series and can't wait to see what's next..

I saw that, Reclusiarch.

I don’t know how I’ve never been alerted to this masterpiece. But god damn, the quality just goes tenfold every episode! This actually amazing and I’ve gotta say the most enjoyable 40k animation I’ve ever laid my eyes upon. Blessed be the Emperor

[@raptorjetz]

On May the 4th too! Emperor and God-Emperor bless you!

[@bartek15011]

Can you consider making Garro's audiodrama animated series after you will be done with hellsreach? Thank you for all work you have done ,emperor bless you.

[@MythologyOfMusic]

Stybek B thumb this shit up!

[@gianlucaborg195]

I believe, that if such an Emperor existed, maybe even if it was Leto II, (Dune reference - 40K came from Dune note that Dune came out in the 60's, Warhammer a couple of decades later) than that Emperor not only blessed Richard but also us as his audience!

[@commanderbacara225]

God imagine if someone bothered to recreate the Burning of Prospero from the Thousand Sons perspective to this superb quality.

[@St34mPunkPrivateer]

The characters and story so far are amazing, the art style is on point ! You've captured the essence of 40k well done!

[@kennethbedwell5188]

(Taps the vein) Ahhhhh. 15 mins??? That's not 15 min. That felt like 15 seconds of pure unadulterated bliss. LOL. Welcome Luetin, Glad you could join us. I'm glad you showed Ceria Tryo fighting along side the XO and all the "Did I hear you talking out reinforcements?" comments. Literally one of the funniest parts of the book. Love the silver hair added to the Crone and the look of hate in her face and eyes. Tremendous work. I know you had a skip a lot and there was some parts I am sorry you had to miss but I understand why. This was the best one to date. Just seeing everyone in color and still have some black & white, You've come a long way brother. For Dorn, For the Black Templars, FOR THE EMPEROR, FOR HELSREACH!

[@LordMuffinToken]

jeezz what improvements! i liked the black n white look, but man you rock!!

[@feeniks100]

I love how much the style changed from episode to episode. It's almost like an old memory being recalled, from a stormy, hazy and shaky shadow to more renewed remembrance

[@seanperez7170]

I love this and watch it almost everyday. The part where he talks about Dorn and Horus...

[@Ideo7Z]

They're just gonna leave precious Mk IV armour behind like an expended las clip? With degraded tech capability that would be criminal negligence in the 40k Imperium.

[@ilhamsyamsuddin]

IDeO they have other staffs left behind to take care of it.

[@deathkorpsofkreig475]

Just remember how many people are in a hive and that pressgangs and constription is a thing all it takes is a few gaurdsmen and a transport, orks only care about space Marine helemts and weapons.( Helmets are for the boss pole)

[@bitharne]

[@Ideo7Z]

@@bitharne I know, but that's how they're referred to in the 40k books.

[@xeonespydonum4995]

I'm not an expert on Black Templars, but I imagine they'll send someone after the Mk IV later if at all possible.

[@Kasperl88]

Still prefer the old "TAKE ON ME" look but this is still awesome.

[@jhonpauloguevarra6046]

Kasperl88 me too i kinda like the unique sketchy art style but this .. this is awesome

[@jamiemiller6738]

I think Richard mentioned in one of his chat videos, that it's sort of an intentional progression as the story progresses, from the B&W, slowly building more definition and color towards the finale. In a way, similar to the movie Predator, which if you watch closely, as the movie goes on, the 'heroes' begin as foreground in man-made areas, and as the Yautja takes its toll, the jungle itself comes into the foreground, and they adapt within it until the end when Arnie is essentially covered in mud and dirt. I'm sure there will be some pay=off to the direction its going. I cant remember how the book ends (and ive purposefully not re-read it since this started!), but I imagine it'll have something to do with the ebb and tide of the battle.

[@brutalcrusadermaulgracies4246]

Kasperl88 , especially in the Titan with the hag , you could see her but you couldn't , i really liked that in the previous episodes but this is definitely awesome!!

[@vlweb3d]

That sketchy TAKE ON ME look with a shaky camera was good for the 1980s. But that visual style was bothering my eyes (especially episode 3). I'm glad that the visual style was updated - makes the show very easy on the eyes.

[@silvarius2000]

Now I want that with the Princeps and Grimaldus being chased by Orks in a Take On Me video XD

EVEN 2 YEARS LATER THIS STILL MAKES ME SMILE 🐻🤠💪

[@s2korpionic]

Ayyyyy so happy to see the Salamander boys joining the fight!

[@TenebrousFilms]

I have to admit, I kinda miss the style in which you started... but yeah, it looks awesome. While there was something about the indistinct view of the princeps before now, we can finally see her for the old crone she is, heh.

[@BlackViperMWG]

Yeah, princeps was better looking before, but everything else is much better!

[@lordinquisitor6233]

TenebrousFilms reminds me of granny rags from dishonoured

[@nks406]

Or every music or arts teacher in general.

[@nanomachinesson2513]

I think it might actually be a combination of a model for Granny Rags and for a combine amputee form Half Life 2. It is source film maker after all and all I can ever see is that damn combine amputee

[@peterbalogh5994]

Sir! You are a gift for us from the Emperor! Thank you for your work!

[@DistantAutumnPresentWinter]

I enjoy how daintily that last Assault Marine just plucks off the hatch and drops that grenade in. Also, a shame that Ride of the Valkyries is probably forgotten in the grimdark future of the 41st millennium.

[@sabertoothray]

MOTHER OF HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE! Richard I cannot thank you enough for the work you're doing! This is Warhammer 40,000 Like no one has ever experienced before. The badassery, the bickering, the emotions *and all from Space Marines!* You're doing the Emperors work my good man! And that ending.. NNNNGHHHH!!! Can. Not. Wait!

[@TheLagendex]

Princeps Zarhar of the Legio Invigilata looks like just how I imagined! Thank you for making such amazing piece of work. May the light of the Emperor guide you, Praise be!

[@elasolezito]

Like the old lady from Dishonored :P How can nobody mentioned this ?!

[@lkvideos7181]

Well, media wise it ain't really much ^^

[@benedictentrampas7061]

I had just an embarassing moment when I saw the Reclusiarch land. And another much more embarsassing moment when "Reinforcements" was said and the drop pods came. This is so good!

[@jacobuponthestone9093]

You continue to do great work. This inspired and awed me. Especially the scene where the Templar forgives his brother space Marine for thinking like an individual. The iron will and fire of Grimaldis. "stand" "there is no need to die today" "I need you. Your brothers need you!" This is truly a work of art and I am lucky to have gotten to bear witness to it.

[@chubbyninja89]

13:47 They're all like. "Holy shit that was awesome!"

[@dingliedangliedoodle9261]

*"STAND!"* Epic music starts blaring as the Titan rises, goosebumps everywhere man.

[@handlinitificould]

I think my favorite part of the novel was Grimaldus getting Zarha to walk, awesome job on bringing it to life

[@TyrranosVmV]

Are...are those Salamander drop pods?? I have literal goosebumps. This is beyond epic !! Amazing job sir!!

[@Mrkabrat]

So now Granny Rags pilots a Titan? Oh boy are those Bottle Street thugs in for it now. Splendid work!

[@malcadorthesigillite5847]

My god. Why don't you have like 4 billion subs. This is the greatest warhammer 40k production. Chills when the princeps stood.

[@flowinsounds]

i love how as the war becomes real, colour and detail increases, a metaphor of astartes life.

[@KuyaRK]

THAT ENDING MADE ME SHOUT AT 2:10 AM. I am a Salamander fanatic, what to expect.
