The Tank - A Vermintide Fanimated Movie

12:50 that '(even the elf is an ally)' with the lumberfoot graffiti directly in the frame is hilarious. sigmar truly is testing saltpyre to the limit in having to accept a wood elf of all people im also, weirdly in love with the idea that sigmar just gives aerial text messages to certain followers to encourage them, ya know. really gives me the feeling like sigmar does care a lot despite his usual absence from the setting. 'if sigmar had a text to speech device' series when

If you listen closely, this was heavily inspired by Resident Evil 8 where Ethan makes contact with Rose. I found it just fits so perfectly.

Their new outfits are SO GOOD. I'd honestly give apiece of my soul to get a tank driving level in game. 1 player drives. 1 player reloads, aims and fires. The other 2 can jump off and fight and then grappel back onto the tank at any time.

[@brihives]

I'd give a piece of my soul too.

[@TaRAAASHBAGS]

It took Fatshark 2 years just to give Sienna 2 weapons and some skeletons. I wouldn't hold your breath.

[@suspiciouscheese4518]

@@TaRAAASHBAGSToo true. Maybe now that Darktide is in a respectable state though, we might at least get cool tanker outfits?

"The Elf is a burden." Saltzpyer spitting straight facts at Sigmar.

[@therealacro9418]

Blessed Sigmar, the world drowns in corruption. Your empire is aflame with heresy. The faithful perish and the wicked multiply. Blessed Sigmar, lend me your strength. Grant me the will to purge the corrupt, to smite the heretic, to bring hope when hope is lost. By the Comet and the Hammer, I pledge to the coming battle. I vow not to waver and never retreat, to stand tall against the flames of perdition, to drive back the shadow of Chaos with your holy light.

Don't tell me you had no experience with 3D animation before this. This is amazing! The most beautiful tank I have ever seen. Cousin Okri would be proud. .-)

[@brihives]

I really didn't have much! Outside of SFM and troubleshooting models, my only experiences involved animating machinery. This means a lot, though. Thank you 🙂

[@Necrodermis]

@@brihives that explains some of the jittery movements i saw in their walk animation but that is minor when you know how to set up a scene, tone and tell a story. genuinely good bit of animation you did there

[@stephenklippness941]

17:47 BRO AINT NO WAY OLESYA POG!!!

[@annoyingkraken]

That video was as beautiful as that Steam freaking TANK! That classic line with the "drive me closer" was awesome. Haha it was hilarious to see Saltzpyre riding the steam gun trying to whack some rats!

[@hervisdaubeny2591]

Now I just need some one to MOD in the "Lumberfoot" into total war. What better way to add a regiment of renown for the empire then the ubersriek five driving a bright wizard powered steemtank.

[@Southern_Crusader]

*YES*

[@LeuvahkTrigger]

I like that Saltz has both the mug and the barrel already at hand cause he knew what Bardins reaction was going to be.

[@dasnoiper2567]

It's unbelievable how good the animations is! By Sigmar, I didn't expect this from this community!

[@blacklight1104]

This looks like a professional made it. The fact that you had no experience and yet made a masterpiece is quite the feat. The atmosphere, the banter and their little individual quirks, the facial expressions, and the character development are all *chef's kiss*. Thank you for sharing this project with the community.

[@elcatrinc1996]

I love the little detail of Sienna hitting Saltz for littering by throwing his gun to the ground everytime he shots Also, the perfect delivery of "BLESSED SIGMAR... i do not follow" made me giggle

[@mrviking2mcall212]

This legit brought tears to my eyes. When I first got into Warhammer I bought a steam tank model, even though I only collect 40K armies, because steam tanks were the first ‘cool thing’ to catch my eye and pull me into the hobby. I’ve never built it though, and it’s sat at the bottom of my pile of shame for all this time as I’ve improved my skills. But after seeing this? I think I’m gonna give the old girl a go just like the Ubersreik Five did. And I’ll give it the very best assembly and paint job I can! Long live the Empire of Man!

[@brihives]

As you should! Chug on fella!

[@dorime7717]

*Slams fists on table* TANK TIME TANK TIME TANK TI-

[@TheR6R6R]

This is way WAY beyond my expectations. You went ahead and not just animated this wonderfully for the length of a short film, but the way you 'visually wrote' every scene and especially THE CINEMATOGRAPHY is something that would give a professional DOP a run for their money. I suppose Warhammer's grimdark setting lends itself naturally to low lighting, and you capitalized on that perfectly. All this and I haven't even mentioned how well you utilized each character. It would be criminal if this does not get noticed. Regardless, this is the kind of work you can be proud of for a long time.

[@jjj0309]

This is the best fan animation I've ever seen in my life! The chemistry between the Ubersreik 5 really shines in this video, this is the masterpiece.

[@acfangaming]

*Saltzpyre pouring wax into his barrel and putting a wick in it and lighting it as a makeshift candle* Sienna: I’m literally made of fire.

[@RauMins]

I will say that some of the earlier scenes seemed less polished and somewhat wobbledy, but as the animation goes on I can see a great progression in skill and learning in animation happening. This is a fantastic piece, very well done indeed ♥

[@Uncle_Dru]

This was brilliant! This is pure art... art with memes ;) 'Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword' is never old! XD

[@Pewling]

This is just pure art. Absolutely lost it when Keri kicked the wheel off!

[@lolmeister9764]

How DARE you deprive the faithful of their just reward of seeing the hated enemy burn at the hands of the faithful

[@Alkron1]

The halo 5 music was not what I was expecting lol, fits well though

Now I’m wishing for a series of these and their adventures, soo good and well made!

[@TheKaduflyerSystem]

Fantastic, cackled like a madman at Kerillian kicking off the old wheel!

[@dustyroad10]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Also now I really wish their outfits at the end there to be in game, because they look incredible on all of them!

[@feasogachsionnach1872]

This blew my expectations out of the water. You displayed a well loved machine perfectly as well as the cast as a whole, I don't have the words for it. Well done.

[@arsimattila4451]

This was fucking amazing!! Let us all pray that sigmar delivers the recognition this masterpiece deserves

[@daswordofgork9823]

Would be cool if Fat Shark made a dlc where you can pilot a steam tank and kill Skaven, Beastmen, and Chaos Warriors in it.

[@softgunforever]

the little thing i loved the most was how everyone was standing behind Saltzpyre for cover when Sienna fired up the tank, but Saltzpyre stood there stoicly. He really did have faith in her.

[@xherdos400]

Ngl that's a perfect Movie and the Credits it feels like a Good Ending for Vemintide where it's the last scene we have with the Characters before their Story Ends. Of course in Blazing Glory.

[@Khorothis]

If I were Fatshark I'd create a simple spin-off game just for this. Just make an intro with the Chaos Gods having a laugh at how the U5 kick ass, and then Khorne* goes "there's this other timeline that I really like, let me show you..." and boom, you're all set and it's 100% lore-friendly. Easy money right there. * = Khorne is the most mechanically inclined of all the Gods and given the way the U5 drive, it'll be in melee for long enough for the war god to give it a thumbs up.

[@OwO-nk1zv]

man, this makes me wish we had a tank in vermintide, or at least have some missions where we opperate one to stop an army or something

[@JohnnyOrc]

I never knew I needed this until I saw it. Well done!

[@Neddicus]

That was so awesome, I cant wait for more of your work! im not really knowledgeable on anything AoS related as i am new to the Warhammer world itself. Darktide got me into 40K and i have sooooooo much to learn. The Emperor Protects!

[@itsio7188]

Keep watching after the credits! Amazingly blown me away. This was so good i have to show people!

[@Obozo_Gaming]

Blessed Sigmar, I was not expecting to see Sienna in sunglasses today. I mean. If one if to burn as bright as the sun itself, you'll need eye protection.

[@springheeledjackofthegurdi2117]

[@Bazelgeuse-]

Tank-thing is impressive, but still could use warpstone yes-yes!

[@TheNeoVid]

That horrible thing Saltzpyre thinks is a smile is unforgettable. Tragically.

[@kakaomilch5905]

Oh I wish I could updoot this thrice. The fan project nobody expected but ended up being what everyone wanted. Thank you, this is a glorious piece of umgak, forever deserving it´s place in the annals of Vermintide history!

This was absolutely Phenomenal! Easily some of the best Fanimation I've seen out of this game and in general, Loved every second

Hmm steamtankmen skins with a mission that requires a team of players to pilot and use the tank sounds quite delightful.

[@kimckenzie6161]

Sienna with Sunglasses... How much I never knew I needed this

[@BlackjackN7]

Absolutely incredible! Please, please tell me Fatshark at least thinks about that cosmetic collection as an addition to which we have already. The costumes at the end are absolutely brilliant.

[@draegonspawn5361]

The sienna with shades was a solid look.

[@adhadgames]

OMFG I LOVE THIS!!!

[@friedpickle8332]

Absolute masterpiece. Even better than I expected, and I expected something great. The animation is excellent, the balance of grimdark and whimsical is on point, and I love how well you captured the U5's chemistry and characters. This goes down as essential viewing for Vermintide fans in my book.

[@mamawinkelen]

Amazing animation with an amazing ending. May Sigmar perserve you.

[@VaasYanovich]

Great piece of work! Really nice to see such level of quality. I liked the way you incorporated games voice lines to tell a new stroy, great job!

[@alexrexaros9837]

[@Marko-tm2xs]

Amazing. i cant even put into words how great this is, from the animation, music, lighting, hell even the way you spliced dialogue from the in game samples to mimic actual dialogue between the ubersreik 5. Everyone who worked on this take a bow seriously, fantastic work. and thank you janfon for posting about this or i might have missed it completely.
