Not how I imagined Fulgrum. Granted I was imagining like Space Fabio or something that belongs on those dime store romance novels that lonely house wives read. Also I pictured his sword a bit more like a futuristic tribal weapon. Like one of those reverse Scimitars (the actual name escapes me> Kopashi?)

That's the chaos corrupted fulgrim. Normal fulgrim should be quite pretty.

There was some thread on reddit that a guy drew all the primarchs. He have Fulgrim sideburns like he was at a NASCAR race

Bad story.

The voice actors are the only redeeming feature despite making space marines sound like old men.

It's almost like it was made by fans without the benefit of a AAA studio with thousands of dollars of CG technology and experience! Maybe next time Pixar will pick it up and make you happy.
The story was fine. Ultramarines fight chaos. Who cares? The only thing that bothered me was how much like World Eaters the Black Legion acted with all the reckless charging they did.
Space Marines aren't really known for their depth. They're literally mass produced super soldiers.
How does it not make sense in lore?

It's been years since I saw it and it's sat on my shelf without being watched since, but I'll try and remember. I do distinctly remember thinking that I'd seen better CG from people on my university course.

Yes because complete amateurs made the movie.

quote:

The entire cast act like moronic stereotypes, it's like reading a story written by a 12 year old.

So it's like 99.99% of the HH series books ever written. It fits right in.

quote:

While investigating why 100 Imperial Fists have suddenly died, veteran space marines with 100+ years of experience wander around ignoring their squad mates when they say they saw an enemy. While on the topic, why is 1/10th of a first founding chapter stationed to guard a book with no inquisition presence out on the eastern fringe.

Who cares? First founding or 21st founding, Space Marines are doing all kinds of dumb poo poo around the universe. Some guarding a goblet full of 10k year old blood, others just dicking about in fortresses on backwater worlds. The book was able to open a chaos portal, so maybe the Fists, with their penchant for building fortifications and defensive structures, was tasked with guarding this immensely powerful book?

I'm just trying to say that it wasn't that bad.

The Ultramarines movie was loving horrid on pretty much every level -- art, animation, storytelling, pacing, editing, direction, voice acting, fitting the setting, really just everything about it was an absolute travesty. Why are you defending it?

Because it's all we have. Why don't you go make one better so we can forget about Ultramarine.

It's just so goony to hate stuff for the sake of hating it.

I just read a passage in Betrayer where Lorgar kinetics a boulder the size of a rhino into a Warhounds cockpit and kills it. In a series marketed to pre-adolescent boys, Ultramarine was loving Shakespeare.

Oh and Angron stops a Titan from stomping him to death by holding its foot up like Mr. Incredible. Haha. Yea man, ultramarine was such schlock.

No, you're thinking of the other warhammer 40k movie which I think is still on production and CG wise at least looks a lot better than Ultramarines.

The Ultramarines movie was made by an actual production company with real (relatively) big name actors doing the voicework and written by Dan Abnett, nothing about it was amateur or indy work. Games Workshop bankrolled it and it is real bad.


e: This is the one made by 'complete amateurs': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7glPda2Lcc

Why the gently caress are you even in this thread if you're going to have this kind of "well it's for CHILDREN herp derp" lovely attitude? There's nothing stopping genre fiction or 'for kids' stuff from also being good and worth evaluating.

Becaue I like some HH series books too?

Same can be said for your lovely, unrealistic standard set to a fan made episode of space marines. Sure, it wasn't a CGI masterpiece like some James Cameron movie, but it wasn't this piece of abject garbage all of you like to call it, and that's been my argument from the start. It was fun for what it was: watching space marines shoot chaos in the face.

It wasn't fan made. We're piling on the Ultramarines movie because it looks like it's going to get outperformed by a movie that actually is fan made.

The point is that you can enjoy a work of genre fiction while at the same time keeping some perspective and realizing it isn't Shakespeare, while yet again at the same time holding it to *some* relative standard. So: relative to a lot of 40k fiction, the Ultramarines movie was garbage.

The worst argument.

Goal posts priced to move! The variation in 'quality' in the Horus Heresy books is so varied this hardly makes for an objective metric. By this argument, it was also gold.

Whatever. I was able to watch it once and think 'Eh. Not terrible.'

No, I don't care about that, that's just a bit of 'whoops, this could look a bit racist' common sense. What I mean is, the people of Nocturne the place are genetically black skinned with red eyes. Vulkan does not have these genetics, he shouldn't be that colour.

(And wow, both of you assumed I wanted there to be the 'token black Legion' rather than the reason I was trying to bring up. That's some weird projection / damnation going on right there boys.)

Wouldn't it look more racist if in 20 legions of 10s of thousands of soldiers all of them are white?

Night Lords are all closet slaneshi worshippers with their fondness of live skinning and horror spreading. Their probably the least likable of the traitor legions when you learn they're all just murderers as a result of being brought up on planet Nostramo: Planet Murder/Rape/Kill. ADB did a good job in making a few likable characters, but on the whole the NL are inexcusably evil.

Most Likable: Word Bearers. Lorgar would have been content just traveling the universe telling all life how cool his dad is, but no. Big E wants an empire of slaves.

In hindsight, it really was an immensely bad idea to give command of a legion of Space Marines to a guy who was known for skinning and eating people for minor infractions of law on the planet of Murderworld V.

But that was the only way to maintain order on the shitheap planet: absolute terror of being skinned alive and fed your own eyeballs for spitting on the sidewalk.

I disagree he doesn't trust any of them; he has to trust them. He has given them armies vast and well-equipped enough to destroy hundreds of planets, who literally wipe out entire species. This isn't the sort of thing you give to people while you cross your fingers and hope 'well i sure do hope they never think to do anything weird with these guys!'

Likewise, I disagree he doesn't trust the Space Wolves or that Russ isn't the final sanction; it's already strongly implied Russ was responsible for the dissolution or destruction of two Legions and the death of two Primarchs. At a certain point, the Emperor can say he doesn't trust anyone, or whatever, but his actions obviously imply the opposite.

After forcing myself through the first book of the Macharian crusade, i am extremely disappointed. I was expecting something from a much higher tactical perspective, that you know that starts detailing the crusade.

Instead it just follows Macharius doing completely un-warmaster things. He is a god drat warmaster, yet seems to be fighting on the front lines. The book gives you a terrible high level overview of what is going on, and if you replaced his role as Warmaster with IG Regiment commander it would feel like the same drat thing.

However some of the cover art for the series is just :black101:
