SRM posted:It's not a one man project, but it's a very small team with zero budget making it. Unfortunately Aaron Dembski Bowden never got super involved, but the writer of the current screenplay is a goon and he posted in the 40k thread the other day about it. I got a real Ghost in the Shell/Cowboy Bebop vibe with the parade. It reminded me a lot of GITS Hong Kong spliced with the Halloween festival from the Bebop film, and I have to say I love how well it meshes with the 40K aesthetic. It's never been something I'd considered, but it makes total sense and looks great in motion.

It was the first time I ever saw anything related to 40k that felt like a respectable piece of science fiction -- I mean, I like the books as much as the next goon, but the books are usually bolterporn best fit for the airport. This clip was great and I look forward to following the movie! Hot Dog Day #82 fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Aug 30, 2016 |

It really feels like fan creations are doing more for 40K now than actual products. Granted, I'm still hopeful that Spacehulk Deathwing turns out to be good, but as far as storytelling goes, Lord Inquisitor's visual storytelling is phenomenal, and Emperor Text to Speech is just fun. I came across these old videos of Dan Abnett discussing his writing for 40K. I'm really liking them and he seems like a much more chill dude than I had imagined. Also, hearing that Honour Guard's original manuscript was lost and he had to rewrite the book from scratch really explains the magic anti chaos mind bomb from the finale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHv0k7g7BTc Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Aug 30, 2016 |

Man, that was really well done. I like the character work on the Inquisitor in particular...he's a cynical rear end in a top hat without the usual overblown pomp and circumstance. He might as well have added "blah, blah, blah" after condemning the doomed traitor. It's a neat variation and I'm looking forward to the rest of the story.

The only thing I wish Marcus had said differently was, rather than saying "I don't know what mercy is anymore", would be to say "the only mercy I know is the Emperor's Mercy."

His voice reminded me of gaetan the cat school Witcher from Witcher 3, which is a good thing. I just feel the overall audio could be cleaned up and mixed better. As it is, dialogue sounds a bit too crisp and sound effects like the vase breaking are too muted. But it is still early days and as a proof of concept it looks stunning

All the VO was rough and lip synch was bad. Still a staggering effort from a small team with no budget. Those are obv Imperial Fists but who was baldy mc redskulls? Do the chapter leaders wear radically different armor than their troops? Also why are all the post Heresy color schemes multicolor vomit for the most part?

Baldy is Inquisitor Torquemada Coteaz, Lord Inquisitor of the Ordo Malleus. Imperial Fists would be on hand for a parade because Terra is their homeworld, and their colors haven't changed that much from the Heresy.

Even with rejuvinant treatments, an Inquisitors (Lord of an ordo no less) should not look and act like a 17 year old teenager. It ends up giving off a very anime vibe which I don't think suits the setting. Everything else looked amazing though.

The guy in red power armor was probably the Lord Inquisitor. What the gently caress was wrong with his pistols? In a setting with handguns that fire high-explosive rockets, that thing looked like it was set permanently on "flesh wound."

Yeah it seems totally in character for an Inquisitor to gave an intentionally lovely gun with the intent to wound for interrogation or general sadism.

Besides, he had a bodyguard with a big rear end shotgun and a Death Cult assassin backing him up. It's not like he's lacking firepower.

I love the parade for adding all sorts of world details that have not really been brought up before in 40K but make perfect sense. I mean, of course the schizo tech of the setting means you're going to have hot air balloon vehicles (with little skulls on the balloons, naturally  ) and nude heretics pushing a float as a display of their punishment to the Imperium as part of a triumph parade.Did get a laugh from the comments that somebody spotted a model Land Raider in the background at 3:00; there were a lot of remarks about the guy truly being a heretic if he had an unpainted model! SRM posted:Stub guns/autoguns are just regular bullet-based weapons like we use today. He probably had a pair of those, or he really is Revolver Ocelot and he keeps a pair of antique revolvers on him. They are also running around Holy Terra, blazing away with a bolter or God-Emperor forbid a plasma pistol might very well be frowned upon simply because of the risk of hitting some priceless artifact. Could of course instead just be a character preference; that Inquisitor gives the definite impression he might have made his way up from the street scum side of things and so favors cheap stub guns and knives because it's what he's used to.

Isn't it more that The Inquisition is just as widely varied as the Imperium it We're told time & time again in various books that Inquisitors vary hugely in their methods and approach, and some of them even actively prey on the expectations of what the Inquisition is like to get their way - The one unifying fact about them is they have functionally unlimited power, everything else is YMMV.

Carrying an antique firearm (or better yet, a pair) is a perfect way to show your status in the 40K universe. There is absolutely no reason to doubt that an up and coming Inquisitor would carry a pair of pistols that date back to the Unification Wars or some other crazy pre-41st Millennium event.

Azubah posted:I thought Earth was supposed to be a super poo poo hole? Like no clear skies or oceans, just super cities and smog. It is completely covered in hive cities, as well as floating city platforms, and the oceans and forests are gone. I don't think there is much industry at all though, so pollution shouldn't be a big issue. Terra's pretty much a big palace/government building/religious pilgrimage site.

Finished Praetorians of Dorn, it's ok, esentially the Alpha Legion does his thing, the Imperial Fists try to counter and Rogal Dorn has his tactical genius moment. Horus and the rest still not there. The plot doesn't advance much, except for two things: (big spoilers) -The White Scars arrive at Terra. -Alpharius (the real one) dies at the hands of Rogal Dorn, Omegon assumes his identity permanently .

Most hive cities are poo poo holes because they have to deal with all the pollution from mining and factory work that comes with running the day to day life of the planet. Terra literally just deals with the paperwork and religious side of things so while polluted its probably not the horrible.

Toad Tunnel posted:Alpharius dying is a pretty big deal. Was Omegon loyal or not? I never read The Serpent Beneath. Alpharius dying now probably also means that in the current 40k timeline both are dead - Ultramarines supposedly kill Alpharius later on in the timeline, after the Heresy ('Alpharius' confirmed as Omegon masquerading as Alpharius now). It was a bit ambiguous apparently, but mostly in a "what if it was Omegon instead of Alpharius"-way.

I read the first half of Adeptus Mechanicus, which is about the Skitarii. I didn't really have a clear metal picture of the Skitarii beforehand, but I certainly didn't expect them to be "that guy from Deus Ex, but he also knows the mathematical gunfighting from Equilibrium"

I picked up Angel Exterminatus yesterday because I'm deep in the middle of painting a 30k Iron Warriors force. I'd heard that the book does a pretty poor job with Perturabo's characterization; without spoiling too much, is this internet hyperbole or is it a legit complaint?

It's the first Horus Heresy book I didn't read all the way through and it's the last one I will bother reading until ADB or Abnett have a book related to the siege. It's rear end, his characterisation is probably the best part just because it's new lore content. E: I even kinda enjoyed the Dark Angels HH books so I can stomach bad.
