SPACE HULK [40k parody]

[@tom-and-don]

Welcome back boys! This cartoon is super special to us as the first thing we ever made together and a Warhammer toon to boot! This is where the journey started lads 🙏 thanks for sharing it with us

[@renegadegodmalice6996]

You should make a video dedicated for the regular marines. We miss those blokes and their crazy adventures.

[@htcp6541]

Ok

[@Narsheo]

As the fight against the furries subsided?

[@alexandereden8911]

Wow, this was a throwback! I remember watching this and it leading to your own website, where I fell in love with Regular Marine. Are you gonna re release the second one as well?

[@sirmoustache629]

First time seeing it. Pretty fucking good for 16 year olds

[@doesntmatter5857]

Ah yes, from back in the day when an artist could use a bit of Iron Maiden in the background without giving it a second thought. I miss these times.

[@Kuolonen]

Simpler times.

I remember exactly where I was when I first watched this video, 12 years ago while working for a railway company here in Brazil. I remember watching all the videos and not being able to hold my laughter in the room, to the point of crying. At the time, watching videos like this was frowned upon, even on my lunch break, so it was quite embarrassing for me, yet a great memory and experience. Thanks for all these years of videos and parodies, you guys are awesome :)

[@jatsi96]

In my opinion, "Space Hulk - Whimsical Tales of the Royally Fucked" is the best and most accurate description of the game itself, ever. 🤣

[@davidboites9473]

For being the first animation, it’s still leagues ahead of what I’ve seen from KZbin animators recently.

[@bisbee1678]

Heck, its been better than a lot of what we've seen from Games Workshop.

[@boarfaceswinejaw4516]

which animators?

[@mufat8400]

@@boarfaceswinejaw4516 hes probably referring to storytime animators

[@jamesreagan8175]

Which animators?

[@skypiratecaptain]

That’s because Newgrounds videos got popular from being good and shared organically, not an algorithm that’s gamed for views

[@DxSkeith]

I can't believe it's been 14 years now. This was the video that introduced me to you guys way back when, and by God you've gotten funnier and funnier! Hopefully one day you can make more 40k content if GW climbs out of their own arse.

[@FormerGovernmentHuman]

This comment aged like already rancid milk especially this week. But you already knew the chances of GW not being shit were low, except now they’ve just doubled down on being woke too.

[@DxSkeith]

@@FormerGovernmentHuman Hey, at least Glory to Space King

[@_spartan11796]

You boys having been really pushing out the content! It’s been fantastic just don’t burn yourselves out.

[@MagicHjalti]

This is old vid

[@YouAreStillNotablaze]

They do this for a living though.

[@Mankey619]

This cartoon really takes me back in my adolescent years. Looking at it now just really shows that how much you guys have evolved over the years. Great to see this classic nostalgic cartoon.

[@angelsofblood9879]

This was such a classic video, especially when it had "run to the hills." The humor and the design was and still is spot on.

[@bardoftartarus]

I was hoping for a director's commentary of sorts but still cool to just see the video. You guys have both improved a ton.

[@Johannicus]

Zael is probably one of my fav animation characters. His stuttering and personality is just so entertaining.

[@RECEPTOR17]

I remember this making the rounds on the Bolter and Chainsword waaay back when and I fell in love with this channel. The line "I feel AMAZINGLY expendable." is still one of my favourites from any show or content.

[@reecedignan8365]

I still use the word scrub to refer to any cannon fodder like character I have in my games.

[@RavenousMaw]

I like the phrase "there goes my smile". Such an understatement

[@CrizzyEyes]

"SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB IMPORTANT CHARACTER VERY IMPORTANT CHARACTER" became an eternal joke among my TTRPG group.

[@WelcomeToDERPLAND]

I actually remember watching it when it first came out on newgrounds- and recently went back to watch all your classics there again- they really havent aged a day and are still fantastic.

[@Crashed238]

This... this is what made me follow FG once upon a time. The two Space Hulk videos were/are glorious. I'm so glad you put them up again so I don't have to watch them on some random other channel that reuploaded them.

[@zoch9797]

I saw this when it first came out. I loved Drago too. You guys are what really helped me get into 40K. I always hoped you guys would return, and then you finally did. It has been the best gift ever!

[@spencerhorton1317]

Ahhhh memories, you guys have come such a long way. Keep making kick-ass stuff it's only gotten better from here

[@gunslinger1911a1]

I remember when this first came out with this on New Grounds all those years ago. I fell in love with your work and followed you guys to your website. I even painted Space Wolf minis up in the Ostrogoth's colors for Regular Marines. I hope you guys do a few more like the old days. The crusade never ends, unless we let it brothers.

[@ComposedSage75]

For your first ever animation this still looks pretty good. Glad y’all are still goin.

[@TheIgnacciousd]

I would love to see more 40k themed stuff from you guys. It’s all so damn good including this throwback.

[@ham9236]

I remember this being one of the earlier 40k things I saw beyond the tabletop game, legit didn't know it was flashgitz xD Beautiful seeing this again, thank you, brothers

[@LTCOMMANDER89]

I have to say, Tom and Don. I've been with you guys since your first showcasing on Newgrounds. Between Madness cartoons, final fantasy parody's, Pico Day and so forth and so on. You guys have always put a stupid smile on my face in the darkest of times. I love how much you've grown as artists, I love how you guys are with your community and how kick ass your RAID SHADOW LEGENDS ADS are. All I want to say is, from the bottom of my heart. Please make underwear with "Avenge me Brother" on it. Oh, and keep up the good work. Love you both you filthy animals.

[@brandonportugal7578]

Dude I remember this. It still holds up. I thought of this cartoon from time to time. The lines "I feel amazingly expendable" and "Call me Chad!" in the sequel have stuck with me over the years.

[@micaigneous_01]

Man this is a classic to me. Loved watching this one over and over. Amazing to see where you guys have come since then.

[@mistrants2745]

Damn man i remember this. This is SO long ago and i never realized it was you guys. I absolutely loved the space hulk animations!

Oh man you guys this is great. I don't know how you've done this. I've been watching other channels re-upload this one forever since it disappeared forever ago. Truly my favorite piece of animation from you guys! The way you guys had brother Claudio's arms outstretched cutting along the walls just the way the figure was posed was brilliant! Love it! Thanks!

[@RedwolfDogrocket]

Space Hulk is what got me addicted to 40k 'Plastic Crack' !!!

[@Barrelrollz]

I never saw this back then, but it's nostalgic simply because of the old flash style and bottom text. It's of that era but still totally uniquely you guys. Cool shit.

[@wrathin99]

I remember when this dropped! Great memories, and I love seeing your guys progress through the years.

[@gourmand3]

The crazy thing is, I remember seeing this cartoon all those years ago on newgrounds when a friend of mine that introduced me to the tabletop game showed it to me and I never knew it was you guys and now here I am following you in both channels.

[@lildarkone]

this just feels so crude and i honestly love it, wish i weren't 2 years old when it came out lol

This was extremely high quality Flash animation back when it launched originally. Lots of key frames, especially on the Librarian talking.

[@SlaaneshiChaplain]

Iron Maiden’s Run To The Hills still auto plays in my mind during the montage.

[@justright8547]

I remember I watched this back in 2011 when I was first getting into 40k, and then binged watched the trials of Draigo too. It was that animation that made me wanna play Grey knights as my first army.

[@Hyperion-5744]

For a 14 year old animation it's still way better than what new animators make. Keep up the great content flashgitz.

[@Wampanator757]

Zael's "F-F-F-F-" stuttering has unlocked a core memory. I remember watching this over and over 12 years ago. This video was the basis of my sense of humor for the next decade and I didn't even realize it until now.

[@skittycat213]

Fuck this brings back some damn good memories! This was my introduction to not only Space Hulk, but also Iron Maiden! Thanks for the great trip down memory lane guys!

[@michaeldimare3786]

Really wish I had watched the full video back when I was still in school. My friend and I watched only up until the boarding pod launched and then we flicked off to watch some Sonic shit. Now, after trudging though Warhammer novels and seeing the pants-shitting terror of a genestealer in 360, I know now how different things could’ve been. Thank you for making wonderful art for the better part of two decades. You’re an inspiring lot

[@dMiraculousDevin]

You guys need to do a video on how you two met and work together with these masterpieces

[@toofastnobrakes]

I’ve only been watching for 7 years, but your videos still hit a nostalgia button for me

[@nukem8128]

Newgrounds? That is a name I have not heard in a long time. Damn, good stuff.

[@chiefbeef5906]

Holy crap, what a blast! This whole animation gave me flashbacks to "Thing Thing" the "Awesome" series, and "Madness" from Newgrounds' early days.

[@Vulkanprimarch]

This takes me back. To when I was a young lad, who couldn't afford to buy a box set of space hulk. But thought it looked really cool!

[@ChrisZAUR]

Gotta love those stock flash sounds, thank you guys for all the years of entertainment and hope there are many more to come, keep up the good work and I love you

[@Tgungen]

I am genuinely surprised and amazed how well most of these jokes hold off all these years, especially when considering 2000s Internet animations really didn't had the best of humors

[@OAlexisSamaO]

is amazing how the quality and humor has managed to not change or impove..... im just joking you guys do an amazing job, thanks for everything

[@NostraFnDamus]

Watching this it's pretty clear where Astartes got their inspiration from. Not saying it's a straight rip off, but, well...

[@BruceWaynesaysLandBack]

Love the idea of more longform content like this one. The jokes hit just as hard, even without the usual painstaking animation. Awesome stuff!

[@tomemaster1744]

Now this is a blast from the past! I LOVE this video because I was furiously obsessed with Space Hulk and found you guys because of this. I would love to see this remade with your skills of today.
