[@anoninunen]

​@@Onua118 - Eh, just make sure that your consecrations are up-to-date and regularly check whether your astropath's teeth have melted. The Emperor's Protection is regularly updated with new tests for corruption added regularly. If your fortifications were breached, run a full scan and purge any unknown texts of corrupted servitors. If incursions persist, you may need a full reinstall - a good reason to keep an armored reliquary separate from the main rooms of the shrine. Reinstalls may automatically include chapter updates, if Legion norms are upheld - if the chapter despise librarians or the Primaris of Guilliman (edit: codex compliance is rarely included as an automatic update, review updates carefully and use a reputable source), these may change chapter doctrine and require later purges. Your lifetime is the Emperor's currency, so spend it wisely on only the required fixes and send some Throne-gelt to the techpriests and menials that assist in returning your mechanisms to working order.

This is better because it fucking nails it, the Krieg marines are perfectly rendered here, except the guardsmen would have flicked dirt up when he parried that chain blade. Extra weight is better than meeting it with a fine edge and kriegs lads while aren't afraid to die are very, very committed to killing their enemies.

[@jamessloan_tech]

Yeah it's the momentum that needs to be mastered to get to astartes level but definitely at the start hallway grenade sequence that was brilliant.

[@CNNBlackmailSupport]

So, I thought that at first, but these aren't ninjas. The more I saw, the more accurate it became. Both of the weapons were two handed, and they were both being wielded with one hand. Go grab a 30lb metal rod that is 5ft long and hold it at the center, then swing it around a bit to strike something. It actually looks EXACTLY like it does in this. Short movements, jabs, minor twists, parry is easy, though, since that requires the least strength to accomplish. I've used both two handed greatswords and two handed war hammers that are historically accurate. The khorne guy has something ahistorical, but only in the dimensions of the hammer part, which is usually more like a real hammer in size. The spike is correct. Obviously the greatsword requires less strength to use, but the chaos marine makes up for his heavier weapon with more strength and a center grip. Yes, its fictional, but two medieval knights would fight with the exact same moves if they had appropriately scaled weapons. It just looks fake because it isn't cinematic, so we never actually see it. Check out Scholargladitoria, Shadiversity, Metatron, or anyone they recommend if you want the real shit.

Fantastic animation, solid script. The scenes were immersive with the beautiful Gothic imagery and the sparse lighting. The armor festooned with religious iconography was a great touch. The action was paced well, the dialogue was performed well, and the script was true to the spirit of the characters. I loved this video. It was bittersweet and redolent with energy that comes from self-sacrifice, as should be about a story of the sons of Dorn.

The Pros: Amazing scenery Texture work is spot on Models look great along with the designs Sound Design to an extent sounds goods Grimness and darkness, liked that little twist on the fallen hero head cliche Cinematography was good but could also do some work with it feeling a bit more fluid rather than a stiff rail line. Choreography is passable but could do some with some work, best do that in practice with your cinematography. The Cons: The movement is a bit too static, it doesn't have that natural fluid nature to it but rather moves from one pose, stop, then to the next pose. Voice Acting can be described best as mumbling, i mean no disrespect but maybe boost the audio a little? Maybe try and normalize the volume of your voice lines to your music so people can hear them better. Audio mixing is very sudden, one minute someone is speaking and then a nanosecond later we got this super pumped music piece out of nowhere. No sort of fade in or build up or anything to allow it to link better. Apparently theirs meant to be a plot? What plot? That end part of the fight feels like a anime, suddenly able to kill three marines no problem but prior was getting his ass beat like his enemy was just their to toy with him. All cause of this unknown super power that comes when the hero needs it cliche. Conclusion: I feel the passion and i'll give it a A for effort but honestly, i feel you may need to bring in a second person to help with sound and video editing and to act as a second voice when discussing how you wish to present the animation and such. Overall, i'd say the animation is C grade, not great, not bad, nothing like Astartes but nothing to a gmod animation so hopefully you take this criticism with a grain of salt.

[@GabrielChristtiane]

Ohoho... Thx a lot for these feedback man... Its gold! I will surely save it and will compare it with my work, so next time I can miss these mistakes. Iam still learning this stuff (like 3 years now?) So iam glad for some criticism, because that is the way :) For next project I want o hire some native speakers, etc. So step by step. And in fact I just want be cliche in this video :D Because I love cliche storyes... But I have in mind next big project that surely not be this way :) Well and the plot?? Just simple... two faiths that have one roots and that the strong faith bring victory...

[@jorgeoaa]

That sick ass knife throw at the end bothers me lol. Traitor SM should have survived that. And yeah the movement is too stiff kinda takes me off the immersion. Its unfair to compare this to Astartes but aspiring WH40k content creators should learn from that.

[@voin5371]

@@jorgeoaa I was comparing it on a quality scale with Astartes being the top thing that you basically cannot beat and a gmod animation is well, rock bottem, or as low as you can get for all i know. I was claiming his animation to be in the middle ground of the two qualities.

[@seankohzhen]

You could try doing a casting call for voice actors, I'm sure the community would love to be part of something this damn good! I really loved it but I agree with the comment, the sound design could use some work but I loved the "wanna try rolling again?" Part shit cracked me the hell up🤣🤣🤣

[@doublemdoublefun708]

I'd like to add my opinion in terms of cons, as the pros line up with what you said. Much of the combat lacks impact because there is a severe lack of vfx. Not even showing damaged armor or injuries, the act of clashing itself miss some realism. There is no sparkles when swords clash, bo dust raised on rubble scattered around when these mighty warriors clad in heavy ceramite crash against walls or fall to the ground. The way they are displayed currently, you are just showing two objects aligned next to each other, without no clear sign of how much strength is put behind the blows. Hope I rendered my idea and that ot might be useful. 10/10 in terms of effort though, the emperor protects!

When the statue's halo lights up on holy flame and the Emperor speaks through him, chills man. Chills everytime

[@jorgeoaa]

Criticism: the animation isnt that dynamic yet. Watching at 7:04 the space marine is trying to subdue the weapon of the traitor. It doesn't look like they're actually putting strength to it, they're just tugging at each other lol. Also, that sick knife throw right at 9:46 is cool but it shouldn't have killed the traitor. Clearly he would still be in the fight as per lore, SMs can go on fighting with more grievous wounds than that. But the textures look nice. lighting is good enough as well, reminds me of medieval era with a candle-light that seems appropriate. I like that fire halo on the statue, seems appropriate when the Emperor is giving a sign as he bestows power to those who believe in him. Nice touch there. You have potential and I want you to improve. Keep it up.
