Episode 1 establishes the time and place, as well as the animating chops of the creator; consisting mostly of the Retributors boarding their Caestus with short flashes of other scenes, it's less than a minute long. This episode is notable for giving a size comparison of the Space Marines to regular human Navy personnel who pass them in the hall.

	Episode 2 features the Retributors boarding the traitorous ship, and it's a clear example of how even simple and logical actions can still be awesome alongside 40k's usual dose of crazy. The Retributors' assault ram makes a beeline for their target while a [[Thunderbolt Fighter]] (<s>which is a little strange, seeing as the Thunderbolt is an AIR rather than space-superiority fighter</s>most likely the Kestral class variant that's void capable) draws fire to make sure they arrive and later takes out the ship's engines. The ram itself has a [[Twin-Linked\|twin-linked]] [[lascannon]] on the top used for point defense against incoming missiles and deploys a pair of (most likely [[servitor]]-controlled) defensive drones that protect the ram by throwing themselves in the path of oncoming missiles before exploding to prematurely detonate them. Then we see the ram doing what it's designed for: Firing off it's concentrated magna-melta beam while simultaneously slamming into the hull of the ship so the 5-man team of Astartes can board and capture it. The poor armsmen who get to the ram's position before the marines emerge stand zero chance, most getting off only a single burst from their [[autogun\|autoguns]] before a bolt shell rips them in half. The Astartes, for their part, are cool and collected aimbot killing machines that feel entirely unconcerned with the incoming autogun fire and never waste a single bolt shell; each armsman takes ''one'' hit and dies instantly. Things fade to black as they move further into the ship.

Not knowing when to leave a good thing alone, they've officially contracted Syama to start making animations exclusively for them.

	[[FAIL\|Also unfortunately]], they butchered the movie, adding unnecessary audio elements and brightening the video in places, ~~ruining~~ a lot of the minimalist atmosphere that made the original so great. ~~Not to mention we are also now~~ stuck with a 720p version instead of the HD 1080p on a video player that only works with Google Chrome.		[[FAIL\|Also unfortunately]], they butchered the movie, overlaying everything with Nurgle's green fart gas, adding unnecessary audio elements and brightening the video in places, ultimately watering down a lot of the minimalist atmosphere that made the original so great. For a while, everyone was stuck with a 720p version instead of the HD 1080p on a video player that only works with Google Chrome. Recently it's been upgraded to 4k.

	On the bright side, this means the Retributors are now canon! Also GW can't really be blamed for at least some of the audio and music issues due to copyright bullshit.		On the bright side, this means the Retributors are now canon! Also GW can't really be blamed for at least some of the audio and music issues due to copyright bullshit. Do note this only covers some of it. They made sure to slather generic action-film dubstep over every millimeter of every scene, even original scenes that had not had any background music.

			On the dark side, Syama will not be able to tell any of the stories he had lined up, as now GW is calling the shots. Betting on whether or not he'll ever be able to produce anything 40k ever again or if he's just being held with golden handcuffs are ongoing. Payouts for his first GW project being an Ultramarine Primarus story is currently standing at 1:1.
