They definitely need to remake those marines (I know they have before) but not in the original green color

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

For sure 🙏

[@Robert-dq8yg]

I agree, but I think they should keep the same helmet mold. Something about the whole removable helmet doesn’t fit with those marines.

[@AuthIllustrator]

Yeah, I really like the black and grey version of this marine sculpt from the Covert Ops Battle Unit

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

Amazing work as always Mjolnir :) you’ve captured the Halo Wars vibe really well! And the character animation is incredibly smooth.

[@Ementhe]

Oh hello badlaxe nice seeing you around

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thanks a lot Badlaxe!

[@Danxiky08]

This was very well done! animation was smooth, the background was simple but effective, and the sounds were great too. I think you captured the hopelessness of the battle really well, especially in scenes like where the marine couldn't run from wraith. You carried that sad feeling across the animation well.

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thanks a ton Danxiky!

[@CallsignStriker66]

Very very somber. Nailed it. Nicely done brotha

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thank you brotha

[@TompkinsAnimation]

Wow man great work on the explosions and smoothness! I love how fluid your style is, wish I could’ve seen this earlier!

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thanks a ton Tompkins!

[@DevotedSentry]

Mjolnir animation les gooo! Also love that you used the target locator, the explosions looks great. Happy to see you still grinding!

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Hell yeah brother 💪 Thank you!

[@rushingriverfilms]

Very smooth Mjolnir, this animation is so hot. Best of luck in the contest

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thanks a ton bro!

[@thedomainhalo]

Awesome stuff! Hope to see you in this year’s contest!

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thanks man! Just started working on it 😉

[@TundraStopMotion]

Amazing Animation! This beauty had everything! The effects were perfect! And with the play-doh for blood, it was masterful! And with OLD Articulation TOO?!?!?!?! Bro is better at animating only articulation, than I am at animating NEW articulation!😭😭😭 Keep up the apsolutely INSANE work, MJOLNIR, This was a Masterpiece!

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thanks a ton for the praise! I actually find animating with old articulation to be easier than new articulation, probably because its more restrictive nature forces me to exxagerate the movements, making them more smooth. But that's just a theory :p Thanks again!

[@YaloChief]

Nice animation! Good luck in the contest 👍

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thanks and likewise!

[@AlexisGutierrezProductions]

What a monumental video you got here

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thank you Alexis 🙏

[@StuffIsStrange]

Clean smooth and simple.

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thanks!

[@DafterThings]

Excellent stuff. Love the tone and pace. Couple of great shots too: The off-camera death-scream adds so much more than seeing it and the final explosion, realisation and then sombre last shot. Great stuff.

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thanks for your review, Dafter! It means a lot.

[@RoadWarrior_John]

Awesome animation, very smooth, it can't have been easy using this older figures, but you pulled it off.

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thank you! It's funny because I actually find animating with old articulation figures easier than new art.

[@grey_apache]

Very impressive and smooth, love to see old art figures

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thank you Apache!

[@millenniumrebel4521]

This was amazing , keep it up

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thank you!

[@The_guy_that_does_stop-motion]

Loved the practical effects! And also I don’t think I’ve ever seen the target locator used in an animation

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thank you very much! Now that I think about it, I don't remember ever seeing it either

[@proboanimations3767]

man this was really well done

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thanks Pro Bo!

[@hornet-armoury]

Thank you!

[@CobaltMovies]

incredible, cant believe i have not seen one of your videos before

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thank you and welcome to the channel!

[@AuthIllustrator]

Gosh, this gives me such good flashbacks to the first cutscene in Halo Wars, where Humanity is fighting a brutal war against the Covenant. Great animation! Really captures that beautifully grim setting! *chef’s kiss*

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thank you very much! That cutscene was a huge inspiration for this video.

[@Yourweeklyanimation-oh5ge]

This was great 👍

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Thank you!
