Revision as of 19:46, 13 June 2019
An utterly amazing set of youtube videos created by a ONE fan of Adeptus Astartes (Space Marines).
It covers the story of a Combat squad of Space marines (around 5 Marines) making an assault on a Traitor Space vessel and using its skills, experience and stupendous cool equipment to overcome (kill) all opposition as they damn heretical traitors.
Why the fans love this animation and story
- The animation quality is simply fantastic, you expect a top end animation houses to create this.
- Theres no dialog - its just visuals and sound affects - this carries the story perfectly.
- This shows what Space Marines would be like in a real world setting (unlike the table top game and other games), theres only 1000 marines in a Chapter so why so few? This animation shows why there numbers are restricted by the Codex Astartes. There used to be a legions numbering up to 100,000......
- These are utterly professional in their combat and tactical skills. They move without hesitation, shoot with fantastic accuracy and communicate only when needed.
- Space Marines are HUGE compared to baseline humans, their power armour makes them even bigger and imposing.
- Space Marines are FAST and AGILE, a lot of other fictions make them lumbering and cumbersome.
- Space Marine Power Armour is really really tough, small arms ping off, Autocannon rounds dent, Multi lasers drill small craters but the marine inside is fine and fighting.
- Space Marine Bolter and Bolt pistols are brutally effective to soft skinned targets, they simply get blown apart from the rocket propelled bolts reactive explosive charge. Semi-auto and fully automatic settings (ROF is very high, empties a 31 round magazine in 1.5 secs)
- Space Marine helmet technology - it shows the helmet visors/eye slits are actually cameras and auspex sensors(ie: its not going straight to the eyeball). It provides a full tactical display for the user.
- They use combat knives, smoke grenades and the Sergeant (insigia/rank cannot be seen so we can only assume) uses a Plasma Pistol with very cool affects when firing (gas venting)
- The enemy are no walk overs, they have trained ship armsmans with lasguns, autoguns, twin linked multi lasers, autocannons and shaped charge explosives. They make best with what they have when the marine board but are simply overwhelmed.
