I've been saying this for years whether it be Marvel, or Star Wars or 40k....random fans can make better content than professional writers making 6 figures for a multi billion dollar corporation. If you put a group of random diehard Star Wars fans in a room they could make better movies and shows than the garbage that's been coming out.

This is far beyond what I was expecting. This might be the most incredible animated “short” I’ve ever seen, & I’m a nerd (like the rest of us) so I’ve watched a lot. The music, the characters, the general sound fx; it was all phenomenal. I was fully immersed, & I don’t remember the last time I was this captivated. I literally just finished the Space Marine II campaign, & this short, I found, to be more engrossing than some of that game’s best cutscenes, & I really liked that game. I always thought of Necrons as more haunting & sometimes even more terrifying than Chaos or the Tyranids, & you sir delivered & did my Necrons some justice!
