more like 100+ meters.

[@forgefathereli8354]

They actually used to be 1-3 Kilometers tall WAY back in the old lore. But the problem was simple. Who the fuck else would be able to match that? So they had to shrink them effectivly to Eldar size which is always dictated by the same constraint. The width and height of any given webway portal. And as anyone who has read some of the few novels involving Eldar titans they have to either duck and crouch to get through or jump through the hole and roll. Yes Eldar titans are that nimble. Their made out of one single piece of wraithbone, makes complex movements much easier. And if not for their nimble nature they would have no hope against emperor class titans. sadly they are only 30-60m tall now.

[@lucteojx]

Eli Gutman a 1-3 Kilometer titan would be absolutely ridiculous for the fact that it is too big to do anything but nuke the whole battlefield to hell.

Dick Van Dyke to be far she could just leave there’s nothing on Armageddon at this point that could stop her.

[@sonofthewolfguardianofthef1214]

St mD really because it seems like the amount of female and male Mechanics commanders are about split 50/50, and why would her being female have anything to do with her ability to pilot a God Machine?

[@GodlordBazi]

@@sonofthewolfguardianofthef1214 It is split evenly. There are also legions that consist only of female Princeps, such as the Legio Solaria, so I don't really know where this myth about "1 in a trillion chance" comes from. . The badass thing about Princeps Majoris Zarha Mancion is not that she was a woman once, it is more that she is operating a machine like her Imperator Titan. Stormherald has a really bad temper and somewhat hates Zarha, so he is really difficult to operate even compared to other Imperator class titans. He wanted to get rid of her since Zarha was put in charge of him and during the Battle for Helsreach, he finally managed to blind her actions with his rage, which lead to her going berserk and walking right into a trap. When that happened, Stormherald used her shame in order to grab her mind and attempted to kill it. This is not special in any way, all titans finally kill their princeps like this in case they don't die through the hands of an enemy, the special thing about this is that Stormherald tried to do this way more often than other titans and at the time it eventually worked Zarha was really, really old already, which is a depiction of her insane willpower. What's even more insane is the fact that she actually CAME BACK from this state of a "drowning mind", which was pretty much entirely unheard of at that time. She basically pushed Stormherald, one of the most vile Imperator class titans the Mechanicus had in their arsenal at that time, out of her mind and simply refused to die, because she had given a promise and didn't want to break it. . The last thing that adds to her badassery is the way she died. After the moderati's failed attempt to kill Godbreaker with Stormherald's hellstorm canon, the titan was basically devoid of power. Godbreaker went in for the kill and in an last act of defiance, Zarha hit the mega-gargant with the titan's arm in melee. The only way this is possible is that Stormherald itself helped her with that. So we could say, after centuries of unwanted cooperation, in their final moments Stormherald and Zarha eventually became friends and died together as such.

[@sonofthewolfguardianofthef1214]

GodlordBazi okay? What does this have to do with the dude acting like her badassery is even grater because she’s a woman?

[@GodlordBazi]

@@sonofthewolfguardianofthef1214 Honestly nothing, even in terms of the Space Marines the only reason they are men is because the Emperor chose the Primarchs to be men. If he listened to Malcador, the Primarchs would've been a sisterhood and so the Astartes would've also been purely women. Being a woman in 40k has actually not really any downsides compared to being a man.

[@FatalShadow13]

To be fair, 40k war machines, especially god machines like titans and ordanitus, get pissed if they are not woken properly. Even properly woken they will try to overwhelm and subsume their pilots. You see just that several times in stories that involve princepts of Warlord and Imperator Titans.

@@FatalShadow13 Yeah, have some pity for the poor princeps of a pissed off titan/ordinatus... LOL

[@Deamon93IT]

"Our Emperor" that was a mic drop moment. The Emperor is proud of your service Grimaldus

[@kingkong381]

Deamon93IT If I remember rightly in both the book and the audiobook that conversation goes on longer and Grimaldus lays down the law for her saying "Your" rather than "Our Emperor" and accusing him of blasphemy and basically threatens to rip her out of the tank and throw her out the window if she does it again.

[@Deamon93IT]

To be fair Grimaldus has shown a lot of restraint just because Invigilata is a key asset to Hellsreach. If that weren't the case I doubt he would have been so "calm"

[@95DarkFire]

Yes, I really missed that part. "You made two mistakes. First to imply that the Emperor was not your Emperor, and second to threaten me. I will allow you one more mistake before I leave."

[@Codabear89]

That is my only complaint in this episode. I thought that was one of the most badass and memorable moments in my own opinion haha

[@monkeyswithshoes308]

Welcome to the one fantasy universe that true fans don't want to live in.

[@forgefathereli8354]

whats stopping you? You should get into it. if you live in a rural area make sure you start with a friend or family member to have a consistent opponent. Plus sometimes you just get lucky and happen to live in a small town thats really into 40k. Happens much more often in England's "north" than anywhere in the US. (england north is sort of, kind of, "the southerners" of england.) But its really much more London and everyone else tbh, Purely outside perspective I'm an expat Canadian stuck in trump's shithole. As in the US government has effectivly made it impossible for me to move home short of not updating my citizenship and being deported i guess haha. That's a good idea now i think of it.

[@forgefathereli8354]

Eric+ I agree that if it were "switch places with a random imperial citizen" you are 100% correct. But Lets take DC for example. Living in the DC universe is honestly nothing special unless you know a superhero or ARE a superhero. And the % of superheroes compared to the population of earth is very very small. Just like Space marines compared to the population of a galaxy spanning empire. So yea if we're talking about just being a civilian, honestly star trek seems to be the best. Free everything at all times, and holographic fantasy lives fuckin awesome! 40k but you can't die lol. But if i could be a space marine, I'd be one. But only if i don't have to feel or remember the horrible things that have to happen to you to even become a marine! Plus I'd want to be an Iron Hands Marine, they have "simulus chambers". Basically a matrix like thing you can log in and out of for training and super fast communication. But more so that the *modern* Iron hands don't block their emotions anymore. And they arn't a weird robot sadomasochistic chapter, at least not anymore. (look up kardan stronos or Clan Raukaan to find out how/ why they changed) Nowadays Iron Hands (and successors) just have a close relationship with the mechanicus, and replace lost limbs with cybernetics rather than regrowing the missing bit and surgically reinstall it. No more chopping off perfectly healthy skin. They are highly independant, i mean for goodness sake they've been doing better making their own decisions after they got stuck north of the "great rift" and the Iron Hand secretly trained the Primaris marines before they would go into stasis. We don't just Like them, we already knew each other! I don't know if the successor chapters to Iron Hands knew, their all very close so probably would be my guess.

[@kingkong381]

I really love how you breathe more life into each episode, more color, more detail. I gotta say though, some of the sound leaves much to be desired, the melee was not at all meaty enough, the clash of a sword on axe should not sound like clinking two butter knives together.

[@kennethbedwell5188]

As loath as I am to try to suggest improvements, I tend to agree. If one has never butchered an animal then the thwack from an axe hitting flesh is not easy to duplicate. Forged in Fire has good sounds to go from, Richard. Try lifting some sounds from there. As for two weapons hitting each other, that's going to be harder to duplicate. But there are several Historical re-enactment companies out there (The White Company comes to mind). Try looking for sounds from their battles. Though there weapons are blunted the sounds are similar.

[@0KOrbU0]

That was awesome. Although I wish the weapons had more oomph to them. Especially the titan’s Hellstorm Cannon.

[@chadmanfredo9174]

This is by far the BEST 40k video i have ever seen!!!

[@3dmodeling4205]

This was beautiful! I need more!!

[@Pedro-rn6fx]

Can someone please just hire this man and make a full Netflix production, awesome work !

[@lawrencemadsen7148]

She's a woman cybernetically bonded with a gargantuan war machine, and he's a super-soldier augmented by years of genetic manipulation and cutting-edge psychological conditioning. And here they are are standing face to face arguing about how best to honor a religion that revolves around a man who launched a galaxy-wide conquest in the name of atheism. Warhammer 40K: the greatest monument to irony ever created.

[@KyleStroudVA]

I LOVE the sounds the titan makes; that earth-shaking, trumpeting war siren that sounds like the howling of a huge animal.

[@joeq.publicus3616]

WOW!!! I am absolutely blown away by this work of art. Please forgive my pretentious verbage but holyshit that was amazing. Why in God's name hasn't' Games Workshop hired you on already as Director of Animation for a whole slew of Warhammer 40K films.

[@jbeckley6849]

Every episode it gets better and better. Well worth the wait!

[@theProphetofIrony]

"Engine Kill!!" **same tone of voice and inflections as Princeps Zaha: "NEW EPISODE POSTED!!"

[@WildCard0315]

Literally the first thing I saw after getting out of work. Truly, a work of art!!!

[@Dakota311]

HOW COULD ANYONE DISLIKE THIS VIDEO!~!!!

[@drizztiley8740]

Dakota Isaacson probabky the Orks

[@carstenschmitt1563]

Heretics, for sure. Every single one of them.

[@Doha_Pete]

Stunning. GW owe you a lot of credit. Because of your work I got back into 40k and have spent a fortune with them.

[@TillBaum]

Love your Work. I prefered the old style. It looked more epic. Right now it looks more like a PC-Game cutscene. Keep the detail but add the "Noise" (at least a bit) back in. And the Sound is a bit off. It felt like there was volume/depth missing in the titan shooting. Cant wait for the next episode

[@raisttlyn]

same. loved the new episode ! but ya, the visuals for the titans were overwhelming while the weapons were meh. kinda like the lasguns from episode 8.

[@saxonclements8157]

this series is seriously awesome. Please keep going but don't burn out. I want to get Helsreach on audible but I'm waiting till this season is finished so there's no spoilers and it's utterly exciting each time a new episode comes along.

[@Emrod82]

Awesome was always, my only complain is the weapon of the imperator is not enough louder :P

[@ParagonQ]

Rich...Dude!!! You are 10 for 10!!!! There are scences that look EXACTLY as I saw them while going through the book. Thanks brother.

[@scorpioncoreuniverse8981]

The artwork is top-notch the storytelling is impelling it has to be washed because the storytelling is unique shirts about war but still is very awesome to watch I have been watching this for two days straight watching it over and over and over I love it makes me want to make my cartoons just as good once I get them done but I don't think I'll ever get them to this level good job to the people who's making this keep it up I want to see more

[@BAGELMENSK]

I'm honestly dumbfounded by the quality holy shit thank you.

[@95bever]

Fuck yes!!! The emperor protects!!!

[@keithhurd3]

That last scene with the titan - it encompasses the entirety of 'awe' that 40k can produce. This is great.

[@avalonangeloflight]

This is not fair I am on a public bus going to school god damn it

[@Morgvl_Grim_Hive]

Earphones..?

[@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

Never fear, for once your time at the Scholam is complete, you too shall be tithed to a regimental founding and fed to the grinder. For in the grim darkness of the Public Education system, there is only WAAAAAGH! Or maybe a fun 4 years at a Schola Progenium, where you could pledge to a nice Tempestus fraternity during rush week.

[@EricCaillibot]

Each episode is more amazing than the last, keep up the amazing work!

[@bernardoleyva2091]

at long last the next episode of helsreach and still getting better each chapter you make!!!!, by the Glorious Emperor Guide you to the eternal light!!!, after that i will like to see the Armageddon Wars from the orks and the Grey knights themselves with more titans and more blood!!. The Emperor Keep You Richard!! keep it getting better for the next films you will gonna do, and maybe GW would recognize you and many other doing the films "correctly" we deserve

[@joachimkruger8403]

Emperor's teeth, that titan war horn is absolutely glorious..

[@END30000]

Godam bro you my sir are a god keep up with hard work you are our only hope

[@501stlegionnaire]

The level of detail and awesomeness you continue to put into these never ceases to amaze, the conversation between Zahaa and Grimaldus was great

[@arandomcrusader-9355]

FOR THE TEMPLARS!!!!!!

[@awitness5589]

A Random Crusader - FOR THE STEEL LEGION!

[@arandomcrusader-9355]

High Inquisitor Ralph FOR HELSREACH!!

[@jsauer30]

This just keeps getting better and better man! The lip syncing in the beginning was spot on, keep up the awesome work!

[@turbodildo]

I love your work, but i do miss that effect that makes it look handdrawn. It really gives the series it's own unique style. I hope you decide to bring it back if that is your creative desire. Looking forward to the next episode!

[@kevinnoonan5534]

I prefer this style, the hand-drawn was fine but the shaking it had was distracting

[@stevetrent4638]

Yeah the shaking was really hard to follow.

[@turbodildo]

Yeah that shaking in for example the first episodes makes me nauseaus. But take for example the battle in episode 8. That's the perfect style in my opinion. Looks like a comic book rather then choppy computer graphics, and really gives the show it's own touch.

[@ebenalton3135]

I personally like the animation style that you used in the beginning of the series. The sense of foreboding and grimness of 40k was conveyed really well. They being said, good job and I look forward to the rest of the series.
