Imperium Of Man - Warhammer 40k 

incredible work you did on that trailer

This was legitimately fantastic. You deserve the views. Any chance you could share where you got the music from? P.S. Wouldn't mind seeing how AI interprets the forces of Chaos. The uncanny nature of AI visuals would probably work really well with that.

Warhammer 40k community is more active than Games Workshop

For the Emperor!

Brother, you underestimate the attraction heresy has for weak hearts with open minds and broadband connections.

No, there is no irony in this.

AI is super illegal in the Imperium of Man, so yeah it actually is.@@gamesandthoughts2388

@@gamesandthoughts2388 Not a 40k fan I take it? AI aren't used in 40k for a reason lmao

@@HandOfThemis Yeah, the Imperium still reels from the -Butlerian Jihad- Cybernetic Revolt.

and what were those "AI things" called? I'm positive that the comment by gamesandthoughts was quite witty

You meant ABOMINABLE intelligence? FOUND YOU, HERETIC!

Chill out techpriest ever since the GW heresy we have to make do with what we have left.

@@MalevolentCherry ik just ajoke lol. Jk Commissar! Do your job!

@@robertpalmer7693 emperor is just an another demon

@@ElijahSmith that is in the eye of the beholder, for the other races he is a Demon or for us he is a God.

@ElijahSmith heresy, he has tried to guide humanity to greatness and defeat chaos, his dying/dead body is whats keeping the astronomican being any use and stopping the whole galaxy from being torn from reality.

those are Dark Angels hunting some fallen

:DDDD

Those are the smart ones that realized all that bulky armor is just a hindrance and that the Warp provides everything necessary for absolute carnage anyway.

There are assassins in the imperium like that

The Officio Assassinorum wants to know your location.

who's to say it's Abominable Inteligence, it could be a talented servitor that created this holovid

Heretek!

Heretic

Smbdy say "heretic', whereas I prefer "radical"...

Am i the only one who have read this with the voice of a technopriest in your head?

AI CGI would be great way to depict the realm of chaos.

@@BH-yk5cn that's actually a pretty good idea especially tzeench's realm

@@angryvaultguy "Look closer, that's not a Book, it's a Face!"

In its essence, instinct and the subconscious is an AI, or more accurately just I. It is trained on the surviving generations of humans up until us.

Yeah but the vibes are there my god i felt hype for this like this makes me want to paint again.

"The gods" refered here are probably not the chaos gods as people interpret it. Remember, the emperor didnt consider Khorne and the like to be real gods.

@@gustavoritter7321 He means that the emp doesn't believe in any gods.

This is the standard introduction to every 40k novel about the Imperium, wdym?

@@TygerTyger24 Yeah I don’t get it either.

To my understanding, because that the Imperuim made up of an alliance of both Terra and Mars both are needed, the techpriest follows the Emperor believing that he is the omnissiah a god, Terra and the rest of mankind follow him because that he is the God Emperor of Mankind. He is both and he rules because he wills it.

The guy in the thumbnail looks like Bill belichick

this can't get any "refinement" by a human hand lol because these are all images and not actual 3D

@@ishitrealbad3039 well you take an artist and make him redraw pieces of said images or do something based on concepts

​@@ishitrealbad3039ever hear of photoshop? lol

​@@zer9761 I'm not an artist nor do I have any background in film/art. However, these tools in the right hands can produce outstanding results. Right now there are some limitations, but if you're an artist and learning how to use these tools in your workflow. Believe me in a year when everything is more advanced you can produce phenomenal results. it's easy to criticize now because of the flaws. But very soon people won't notice the difference and those who are firmly against AI will re-consider many things. Just like how As modern militaries emerged in the 19th century, the samurai were rendered increasingly obsolete and very expensive to maintain compared to the average conscript soldier. Now you can choose to be an obsolete Samurai in the field or a modern capable soldier.

in 2 years it will be more like in 10 seconds it seems

To be honest no matter how much the artsy type dislike AI's give it a decade and holywood is dead.

@@thebrokenmask8304I rather have AI take from the source material and use that to develop a product than have these Hollywood people change the story and themes to “fit a modern audience”

@@scotty7591 oh so you dont think hollywood will use IA to “fit a modern audience” ...sweet summer child...

Thanks GW for the lore and everything, but we'll take it from here

you are hero

​@@cleber7081 agreed.

Thanks cap. Much appreciated

That's not the AI that's the quote from the beginning of the rule/lorebooks. There are several ways to interpret the line. Some favorable to Chaos and some not.

@@RilfDanielson It was remembered by someone that neither the Emperor or the Necrons consider the chaos gods to be gods, but rather just ethereal pollution. So, the phrase "will of the Gods" might actually refer to something much bigger, maybe even some fourth wall break reference

@@gustavoritter7321 A common interpretation is the "gods" are the actual people who take part in anything 40k, whether it's the writers at Black Library or players moving toys around in their mom's basement. Hence "laughter of thirsty gods" at the end of the opening crawl. The suffering in 40k exists because it's done for our entertainment. And 40k fans always want more. There's some other fourth wall references: • The warp is the space between gaming venues. Each venue (whether it's someone's house or the local shop) is a planet/star system. • "Lost in the warp" refers to models getting lost or broken while being transported between games. • The story of the Imperial Guard regiment traveling through the warp to answer a distress signal, only to find copies of themselves causing a local rebellion is two players having the same army (such as Catachans vs. Catachans). • This same story applies to the ork who traveled back in time to kill himself so he could have two copies of his favorite gun: it's two ork players with the same special character model in their army playing against each other. • The chaos gods themselves are the audience. • The Great Game played by the chaos gods are the struggles that occur in real life. The reason the chaos gods haven't taken over in 40k and squabble amongst themselves is because real wars supersede playing with plastic army men. • My own head cannon is everything GW has ever published exists within the Black Library guarded by the Harlequins. The reason they don't let people in there is because it would make most people insane knowing some humans predetermined their entire life 39,000 years before as a hobby. It also means the BL contains the true nature of chaos: it's a game played by humans. Solitaires take a vow of silence as they've actually read all the information related to chaos, Slaanesh in particular. Talking to a solitaire drives Eldar insane because they learn how their whole species was wiped out when some guy wrote some book for a tabletop wargame called "Slaves to Darkness." There's more I'm forgetting, but those are some of my favorite tidbits.

​@@gustavoritter7321yup the Gods are the players that pick up the Chapter Primarchs and move them like pawns wherever they want.

The emperor is a perpetual. Maybe other perpetuals?

He did steal "fire" from the Chaos Gods to make the Primarchs :P so its kind of "by the will of the Gods", they let it happen, plus he IS the Dark King, the 5th chaos God to be born at a future date...hahahahahaHAHAHAAAAAAAA! HUMANITY WILL ASCEND IN HIS BIRTHFIRE! JOIN ME BROTHER! It will be glorious! ..;)

@@Brakka86 No………that’s also heresy and you Traitor should REPENT!!!!

He used the introduction to the Warhammer 40k made by GW, so it wasnt his own, it was the description of 40K xD

Its the first paragraph of the official Introduction: "It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries The Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die."

Your comment is cringe, this is an official quote.

So, a Fulgrim type?

POV: Noise marine after a bad trip

Dont eat the orks

Saw some sisters of battle.

1:15 is definitely Necrons

One of my main concerns with a 40k movie or series would be how space Marines are proportioned and how they move. This felt right

Did have you seen 40k ships , they are literally flying churches , rusted stitch together rust buckets or flying skeleton ,40k ships are goofy

Well they are stealing the work of real artists to train their AI models so yeah, the lighting is pretty good...

Give A.I 2 years and it will be that...

It's more that it's comparatively difficult to get the lighting 'wrong' as long as you copy existing patterns in background lighting. A computer can fairly easily understand 'do background color x, since x: contrast with color y in blobs, draw colour z in straight-line godrays everywhere else, darken color based on distance from edges of shape', if it gets a few rays 'wrong' or the shading doesn't really make sense, we'll either not notice or assume it's a stylistic choice but god forbid it tries to statistically mode motion and facial features. Good luck beating millions of years of monke brain uncanny valley sense. AI will get there eventually, but without actually processing exactly what and why certain details/motion occur, it won't get any better than 'cool but flawed'

We will see about this, probably very soon within this year.

Tzench at work...

No, it's not cool. It's an aberration. Like a mutant child.

Fuck TV, they will fuck it up and make a woman as Titus. Make it a movie, not produced by Disney.

@@KH4444444444N Movies are too short, you need more time to cook this content. Not sure how making it TV will "make Titus a woman" where a movie wouldn't. Anyone making a movie is just as likely to do that.

that part made me laugh

While I hate AI art for a plethora of reasons, that is almost entirely a direct quote from the oft quoted 40k novel intro: "It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries The Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods..." People complaining about the use of "Earth" and "will of the Gods" but don't know the source material. Kinda funny, the AI here is the same way.

Yeah, its original version - was changed years ago to reference current lore. No idea why it's kept in 2024

Heresy!!!

@@HandOfThemis I don't know what novel is and I guess it's some black library BS, that intro was NEVER used in any of the original source/rule/core books, the emperor knew well what the gods were and hated them, he hated even more being seen as one, which is the whole point of the irony of the imperial cult.

You must be new.

@@Khashmonet There is only one god and that is the Emperor Himself.

@@lightborn9071 And who is he fighting against...? Oh, yeah. Gods...

@@nocturnaljoe9543 Devils. Unholy monsters, born from the worst of the soul.

Cringe comment, what he said is an official quote.

The door step of what though? Every artist will be out of a job. What are we humans if even art is now automated? We're useless.

@@taserrr i guess it will be the same as its with many other jobs already replaced by machines. And AI-Art still requires a Human to direct it, it will be a new tool. I for an example would think even higher of people that still know how to do something that can be done by automation. The positives in this case would be that many people arnt required to grind years/decades to create something like this short movie here, it literally opens the floodgate for people that might have a creative vision but not the technical know-how yet.

@@taserrr MANKIND HAS BROUGHT DOOM UPON ITSELF once again, I guess. /s No, seriously now. Humanity has always been working to replace itself, or rather its tasks, with technology. First we think of tools that make our work easier and then we develop them further so that they do the work for us completely.

Good ​@@taserrr

@@taserrr Art will not be out for humans because Art is a luxury product in most cases that will be in demand, that and also the discipline extends to stuff like mechanical design. If anything, it would become a tool to streamline things like backgrounds or do things like upscaling, but for infinity I do not see AI replacing the human mind and hand. What is frustrating though are people claiming to be artists just because they punched in a few words and then attempt to pass it off as theirs.

Not even that. A toddler who takes his first steps is pretty advanced neurologically compared to many animals. This is more like a lizard taught to catch a ball in its mouth.

no use telling americans that

hope amazon hires you.. seriously, this was so bad ass. like I hope you make spin off movies of the books n games … or like example male DAWN of War l and ll into movies like this … I'd pay to see such.

A full length WH40K movie of this quality being released used to be beyond my wildest dreams. Seems to be only a matter of time now. Depending on GW of course.

Its a great job, you did well. Whoever demands perfection is simply undeserving of your genius. Most often those are the truly unskilled among us all. *May heresy be eternal if the only future is the Imperium of man ruled by that mutant psyker, the corpse Emperor.* - Diar PS: I've been a fan of chaos since the very early 1980's >"."< I'll dream of a chaos version, but this one was awesome. Kudos

Can you reupload without the burned in black bars (letterboxing)?

Don't let anyone throw hate. This is amazing and id oay to see it in a movie or pay per view. I hope I see a full length movie before I die. Great work!

No it can be written off as fucking mid journey. Christ if you're going to be a neckbeard can you at least not be a fuckwit... Ffs.

This definitely gave a Warhammer 40k vibe for sure

Crawl out from under your shit rock and smell the midjourney.

'creative endeavors'..

HERESY!!!!! ABOMINATION INTELIGENCE!!!!!

Thanks mate!

Thanks! That track was getting me amped up!

thank you

Thank you !

which is kinda what warhammer is right now, the best part of the story are all these short story. with the main plot line being kept intentional vague.

@@johnson7156 That honestly is where warhammer works very well or at least keep the main plot line away from being the central part of everything, if that makes any sense to you.

@@Slayer398 I didn't say i dislike it lol! i believe one of the reason why they do it this way is it encourage fan fiction. It makes the player feels more involved as you can create your own story base on the main plot mythology. Probably one of the reasons why they have things like missing primarch, lost worlds, space/time fuckery of the warp.......

@@johnson7156 I wasn't clear in what I meant, I wasn't trying to belittle you either. I meant to say that I felt it's stories worked best in pieces rather than a controlled narrative where we know everything. Such was with SW constantly deciding to answer Every. Last. Question. of what happens to this and that in that universe rather than leaving some events open....

I 100% agree, almost every frame looks good at a glance, but after three seconds you can tell its just not it.

It's just the skipping between each scene that gives me a slight headache. It would be awesome to have short animations like in the Astartes 2 Teaser.

You probably haven't seen Hollywood trailer in your life, this was complete garbage. AI generated garbage. I mean we're starting to see some initial sparks in AI generation but it still lacks vision, cohesion and general idea of what it wants to portray. I don't think AI tools will be good enough to beat Hollywood anytime soon. It might get there but we're still far from it.

@@cpypcy 🤓👆

@@cpypcyI think calling it garbage is a bit extreme. I hate what AI represents but it does some things well. I think a lot of this looked pretty damn good.

Yes, we will definitely see the Men of Iron rebellion. And there's no guarantee an Emperor is wandering to help us in our timeline...

Pika is a usefull tool

Henry Cavill's project

@@rareraven i have high expectation for henry cavill since his a legit warhammer 40k fan, the one that i am worried about is the higher ups of hollywood dipping their stinky toes to change massive plot details to fit the so called "modern audience" and not upsetting the woke morons on twitter

I know but frankly the overall production quality drew me in so I'll forgive it

Thanks a lot for getting it! It's tricky to navigate the whole copyright thing, especially when you're so into the Warhammer 40K world like I am. What I did here was more like a shout-out to the lore I love, but spun in my own way to keep things on the right side of the law. It's really cool to see that there are folks out there who get where I'm coming from with this!@@oldlyswansea

sister of battle

First one just looks like a psyker, but the next few are likely Arbites (police) maybe? They aren't wearing any specific armor for that though, kinda reminds me of the Witch Hunter from Warhammer fantasy.

@@indrickboreale5463 Thank you for the quick answer, let's see if someone gives more ideas, I have been fascinated by the aesthetic of the black cape with a hood since I was a child, and watching this trailer I got goosebumps when I saw that or those characters and I would like to know more about what it is or who they are and see art about them

First one is a Psyker. Second feels more like an imperial agent of sort. Maybe an assassin or an Inquisition acolyte/agent. Also, if you like 40k but don't feel like reading or listening to lore vids, I recommend the Helsreach movie on RU-vid.

It's AI generated slop so it's probably not anything in particular, but it does vaguely resemble what people think of Psykers.

you realize though that's as far as it'll go though, amateur film makers only.

​@Slayer398 I hope you're wrong, but GW is to greedy and doesn't have the foresight that even people not into WH, after seeing a trailer like that for a film would make them money and bring new people to the hobby.

@@Slayer398 you are looking to the equivalent of the first photo: "a copper plate, coated with silver and exposed to iodine vapours" an already judging that "will never replace movies"

@@AlessandroRodriguez did you read my whole comment or just that one line and jump on that, while also being unaware of the actor/studio agreement just a month ago?

@@Slayer398 lol, your comment is just one line. Besides, it is funny that you believed that said agreement will help the actors, because is an "union"/studio agreement, a fair mistake that people not in the know make.

We all do but that would be the most expensive TV series ever created. Most likely going to be a more concentrated story based around 1 or 2 planets.

He will surpass it. It is written.
