The Lord Inquisitor
A completely CGI fan film of Warhammer 40,000 by Erasmus Brosdau.
This movie is used to troll fans of Ultramarines:The Movie in terms of CGI quality, movie development budgets, and staff involvement. Now, lets hope the acting, characterization and story is also better. Run time is stated to be more than 40 minutes long.
Enjoy it when it comes out (which is possibly due for a 2013 or 2014 release).
Plot
The plot so far concerns Lord Inquisitor Torquemada going to the planet of Occulta Majoris (someone was stupid enough to name a planet what roughly translates to "super magical" in 40k?), which has gone silent. Apparently, the imperial guard discovered a mysterious artifact of seemingly Xenos origin. The artifact in question slowly drove the planets inhabitants mad (uhhh........Dead Space ? Warhammer's been doing this sort of shit since before the creators of Dead Space left their father's balls. GB2/v/ They both pretty much stole it off Lovecraft, who in turn stole it from a bunch of other shit. Ancient magical artifacts as plot devices are as old a storytelling.), which then revealed its true origin as an artifact of Chaos. As the artifact was being transported off world, it was intercepted by the Forces of Chaos and seemingly destroyed. Torquemada and his associates later discovered that the destruction of the ship and the artifact was a ruse. Torquemada journeys to Occulta Majoris, accompanied by Grey Knights, believing the artifact to still be on the planet.
THINGS THAT ROCK
- The film was approved by Games Workshop. Therefore allowing dear Mr. Brosdau to continue development.
- Awesome modeling
- Detail
- Close to canon
- GREY KNIGHTS (who will hopefully not be portrayed the way a certain dickface depicted them)
- BLOODLETTERS
- KILLING!!
- Chaos Space Marines (specifically, The Alpha Legion)
- Black Library writer Aaron_Dembski-Bowden is one of the story writers.
- One scene shows a ship exiting from the Warp with awesome effects. This is a plus from the Ultramarines movie since even in the final scene, the film didn't even bother showing the effect of their cruiser entering or exiting the Warp.
- Adam Harvey, who did the music for the Ultramarines Movie (Which is agreed to be one of the few things that was great about the film), will be composing The Lord Inquisitors music score.
- Finally, having a non-space marine as main character for once.
Hmmm...needs a bit more Cathedrals and Grimdark and we are all good to go. - Imperial Bucket Wheel Excavators! Anybody would pay to see a BWE go off against a Emperor-Class Battleship, like a T-rex against a Triceratops, Space-ship vs Land-ship. Furthermore like all things Imperium, there must be Cathedrals somewhere, no exceptions!
- The man's name is Erasmus fucking Brosdau, for fuck's sake.
THINGS THAT SUCK
- Horrible voice acting (at least, for now)
Somewhat mediocre animations(The author has created a new model for Torquemada and the rest of the character-models are easily of the same quality)- Fans can't donate money to the project, because Erasmus is forbidden from profiting off the Lord Inquisitor.
