Agreed!

[@Myuutsuu85]

​@@MWPickle The Comissar's main job is to guide and to inspire. If you're wounded in combat you clearly did your duty. Executing wounded soldiers is contraproductive and only earns you the ire of your own troops. Most Comissar know this.

[@Myuutsuu85]

It was neat, aye, though still a bit too much meme guard. Blindly charging, only a few tactical usages of cover and the heavy support was a joke. Not saying that the animation in itself was bad, only that the guard took more casualties than necessary.

[@nationalsocialism3504]

​@@MWPickleyou went with meme Commisars which unfortunately is what most authors also go with in direct contradiction of the Lore.

The frontal assault by the regular guard was probably just to focus the attention of the enemy on that battle and draw more of their forces in that direction, hence the Iron Warriors being deployed. Which would make it easier for the Kasrkin team to slip through and take out the Cardinal.

Problem with this vid is the spaceships warping into a planets atmosphere. The stresses on their structures from nothing to a planets gravity within their atmosphere, however weak it may be, would risk the ship being torn apart / ruptures throughout the ship thus making it no longer void worthy. They would not risk it. It's mentioned throughout 40k (in novels) that voidships stay in the void, aka space, and would bombard from above the planet. They would also use transport ships when needing to land troops. The ONLY time a void vessel gets inside a planets atmosphere is to suicide ram the thing into a planet.

Yet another fan-made unofficial project showing Games Workshop how it's done. Amazing work, can't wait to see more

[@leventegal1622]

This was such a treat to watch I'm glad it popped up in my recommended! I would love to see how the clash between the guard and the chaos forces with knights would unfold while the karskin finish the job

[@trufire2251]

Such an amazing fan project, I haven't seen one this good in quite some time, keep it up!

[@UnfailingEagle]

Sick as fuck and using Arma 3 as a Filmmaking tool that's very clever. I'm glad Arma isn't just being used to fool old people on Facebook.

[@racspartan1]

Bravo 👏. I’m loving the scale of the conflict, 100+ drops ships in the background is the icing on the cake.

[@johnhickersantilan4295]

This is why Warhammer is truly magnificent 💪🗿

[@TMillsYo]

I have such a soft spot for any kind of conflict the Guardsmen find themselves in. This is the kind of stuff I love. If only GW would take note and make more things like this and Astartes and less of the garbage they've been putting out on their terrible streaming platform. Great work my man, and phenomenal job by everyone involved! My usual gripe with fanmade products is the visuals will be stunning but VA's failing to deliver, however this was not the case. Everything looks and sounds like it belongs and I want more of it

[@a.k47-74]

Vox in the Void, YES, LET'S GO!!!

[@negadoge]

This is just magnificent. The lighting, SFX, voice acting, choreography, and settings make everything that much better. We can tell that there was love and dedication put into this. Ave imperator brother

[@maxbrooks5468]

Brilliantly voiced. I loved the Armigier fight, it's easy to think of them as just the smallest knights but you managed to make it clear that they're a huge (and terrifying) problem for infantry. Can't wait for part 2!

[@DatGitGhaz]

Fantastic work. There's a few minor issues but this was very engaging and will be remembered as one of the best 40k fan animations. Im very excited to see your future work.

[@johnkon2810]

Absolutely brilliant

[@noahbasara8529]

May wind up with more to this comment as im only half way in but a thing I greatly love already is that you depict multiple facets of combat here. Not just the changing and shooting as often seen, but also the carrying out of casualties, communication, and even combat medics doing work under fire (a particularly awesome detail to me). Well done!

Me: "Send forth all Iron Warrior legions. Do not stop the attack until the enemy is routed. Strike out from every direction and slay them all." Chaos Sergeant: "What of the commander of the Loyalists." Me: "I will wait till the next Episode."

[@Wookieman808]

I read your comment in the Witch King of Agmar’s voice

[@ryanmosher6989]

6/10. Good: Nailed the scale that 40k aims for. Art direction is appropriately gritty. Voice acting is good, music is great. Story is very appropriate Bad: Most of the issues with this video are rooted in the technical ability of the creator(s). I am not mocking them, let me be clear. Especially given the number of character models, this is quite an achievement. Examples of this include the deployment of the Armiger which is implied to come from orbit but no landing is shown, or even a falling object. The sound design for the weapons lacks diversity or appropriate impact. Overall I'm happy to have watched the video, and I hope the person(s) behind it continue to do so and improve their work.

[@OldManCad]

Part two? Please, pretty please? Amazing work, I am just getting into the world that is 40K and this video popped up. Cant wait for the next segment!

[@thomasvernon2531]

Best 40k fanfilm I’ve seen since Astartes. I need a full series or film of this, outstanding work!

[@Metaladict97]

Dude that is brutal, the best fanmade i've ever seen since project Astartes... the sound FX and the voice acting are just supreme, i would believe that's a cutsecne from a videogame indeed. Keep it up!!! Any clue on when part two is going to drop?

[@devilsspawn6500]

Loved the cinematic angles as well as the music and sound effects. You can tell a lot of work and love went into this. Neat to find animations like this on youtube still.

[@ДмитрийПротасов-ъ3ж]

Arma3 walking animation lmao

[@Normal6755]

Nice to hear that Scotland is still around in 40000

[@Xeonzs]

2:30 right side of the mission board, wowowow, nanotech? WHAT IS THIS HERESY?! For real tho, love my some kasrkin.

[@JBo77]

PART 2 I BEG YOU!

[@angelos40k]

Hello, I'm from Brazil, Amazonas, I leave my sincere words, I love the history and games of Warhammer 40k, besides, I've been a fan of this universe for 20 years, it's my main hobby!

[@jpd1967jd]

Grafics, storyline, and everything here are completely stunning! Amazing job well done!

[@ImperialDiecast]

37 years of warhammer and GW never made an official traitor guard codex.

[@cpt.s.seiden]

We technically had one with eye of terror back in third but yeah we definitely need a new lost and the damned codex.

[@Lt.Commander_Data]

What the hell?? As a Warhammer nerd how the fuck didn't I hear about this??? This is freaking amazingly done!!! Subscribed

[@MagnificentX]

Fantastic video. I can't wait for the next.

[@mrkrodog24]

A huge thank you going out to all the wonderful people involved in bringing the 40k universe to life in this film. Very well done! I can't wait to see more.

[@PROJECTAUTOGUN]

Can’t believe this level of animation that in my opinion almost surpasses licensed GW content was made in Arma 3 and with CGI, that’s insane, dude you’re a genius! We need Part 2 ASAP!!

[@divingMOBIUS]

Honestly this was great. You can tell some passion went into this. Can't wait for part 2

[@kaitaiadragon9518]

Was about to comment that this is awesome, not quite astaries level but still awesome. Then saw that this is a Machinima not just pure animation and I take back that statement. To Machinimate something on this scale to this detail is truly amazing. Please tell me that the Krieger's will be allowed to show off their unwavering and manic loyalty in all their shovel-weilding glory?

[@jiv9673]

I appreciate that the Guard is treated as an actual military force rather than meme cannon fodder

[@sterling26]

YO, this sh*t is Fire. I had no idea what this was, then all of a sudden...DEEP rumbles and Quality Voiceovers, I'm impressed.

[@DB8ed]

0:58 I LOVE that announcer coming over the vox intercom sounding off words of encouragement for the proud guardsmen in preparation for their mission! It reminds me of when Sgt. Johnson from Halo would always pep talk his men or whoever he was talking to just before a mission or assignment.

[@GerardoRodriguez-tp9gr]

Absolutely amazing, the music matches the scene of events. Once again, great job, putting this together.

[@minimartini2973]

2:16 Sounds like heresy to me for a guardsman captain to call his men angels
