Here are the lyrics for the faithful: Druvata Imperator dux noster; in eman sua firmissimus. Sacrificium eius illuminare fecit; Druvata nostrae puritas Nos kandu electa eius Egredere facem mahsemo. Renuntiatio eius helel; Per tenebras et pólemos. Nam qui eius ma’or. Azar mundans iacet. Hostes Imperium, Da veniam irae. Ora Imperator, praebe nobis tuam fortitudinem Ut simus tui justi khang. Omnis ut efches, Nullus furor sanctum eius effugiat.

I know the article specifies that the animation style "is intended to make the whole piece look as though it has been painted with oil paints," and I think that's neat. The final bit of animation, with the Sister standing, turning, and lowering her visor, almost feels like a late 90's/early 2000s era video game cutscene, and I mean that entirely as a compliment. Like this is the intro to a game where you play as that Sister of Battle (probably about to do some Malum Caedo levels of violence to some heretics).

Well, good news is that Henry Cavill’s Amazon show is officially out of the initial stages, and isn’t getting cancelled. I’d be absolutely shocked if Cavill didn’t include the Sisters at some point. As for games, there’s Sororitas DLC for Battlesector, Gladius, and Inquisitor. Strategy, 4X, and ARPG respectively. Not the same as a full on game, obviously, but hopefully something to tide us over until a glorious dev takes up the call.

@pineapplepizzasandwich1974 Brother, I don't think I'm seeing what you're seeing. It looks very stylized and gritty, but I'm not seeing any artifacts. Could you point them out? Maybe I missed them, but I don't have an inclination that this would be AI.

[@pineapplepizzasandwich1974]

@@hawk_bite Let me preface this by saying that I really don't like that we're in a situation today where we can no longer be sure if something's an artistic choice, an honest artist mistake or a telltale sign of AI. I wish it wasn't like that. But gamesworkshop as a company fits the profile of someone who would love to cut costs like this... I hope they won't, but it wouldnt surprise me if they did. To answer your question, the most stand out example right now is the debris on the left hand side at 1:03 . There's some odd smearing happening and as the fire moves in, it starts morphing in odd ways. Something similar happens at 1:13 between the sister's bolter and her face. I dont know if these are somehow results of whatever animation technique they used, but to me, these look like instances where the typical artifacts you tend to get with AI stuff. And again, I do hope I'm wrong.

[@pineapplepizzasandwich1974]

@@hawk_bite It's also hard to say, if AI is involved, in what way exactly that is. Someone couldve made original drawings, or modeled the scenes in 3d, and then they ran a filter over it to get to this heavy stylized look. Its really impossible to tell without a behind the scenes look.

[@hawk_bite]

@pineapplepizzasandwich1974 I understand the frustration of having to even wonder if something is ai. It is incredibly frustrating that it's even something that needs to be considered. Looking through it again, I personally believe it's the art style, but no hate, of course.
