The Raptor 

Mate, This is absolutely incredible, quite possibly the best animation work I have seen, Yourself and Astartes are by far my favourite animators now

Honestly valid. Well done mate.

The underglove definitely reminds me of the Crysis nanosuit and I can see other references in there as well! Very well done!

Awesome Just Awesome I seen Valrak had it up and came to watch urs Strsight from the Source as To Subscribe like & Ring Dat Bell!

what a great way to start the day. it reminded me of the scene with Tychus from wings of liberty may the Emperor's light continue to shine upon you

Under no circumstances would I ever go into the 40K world. And I speak as someone who has played the game since 2000

The Horror... The Horror 😱

With that attitude you'd become a servo skull.

The world of 40k is AWESOME! From a Far... Far away...

Yeah, atleast in the starcraft world they give you a chance to live life. But 40k? Even as a terran, that life is hell.

It goes hand-in-hand with also having some of the worst tbh.

If battletech had guys like this I'd be a wrap for warhammer

Games Worshop can merely build a better fan. It is a simple matter of genetic manipulation and cybernetic enhancements. All hail Games Worshop, and all hail the Machine God!

Amen brother. I was having trouble getting out of my Lamenters Terminator cosplay. I said to my wife, "machine spirit is strong with this one. And I usually pilot Centurions!" It's stupid, but yeah, GW hit FCKING paydirt with this whole thing. For YEARS to come.

Yeah i also thought that some chapter utilize the ritual part to armor an astartes while others are more efficient with that process both are primaris so i guess some chapters have traditions and the others don't but im just rambiling now lol

I like the new GW more. The Mechanicus rituals and gothic feel of 40k is depicted far better.

Everything about modern entertainment is too in your face and spoonfed, in my opinion. The GW one looked gorgeous, but I didn't like how the marine talked the whole time. It was also too long and a bit repetitive. It wasn't bad, but this was better.

@@Gunnar001 no doubt it is In the grim darkness of the far future theirs only war

@@godofimagination It's possible they're just trying to reach out to people not familiar with the setting. Business wise, this is new and expensive territory for them.

it's the Raptor. They don't even have a battle cry to preserve stealth

I've always loved the Raptors above all other chapters specifically because of their brutal pragmatism versus the usual campy rituals many other chapters have.

they dont need all the ceremonies to put on armor, they are weapons to be sent in and get the job done, which fit the raptors pretty well

They act more like a strictly military order as the Emperor envisioned his Imperium and its armies to be unlike the religious fanatic bs that most of the other ones do.

Dressed🤦🏼‍♂️

Women so uncool we could watch the get undressed all the time

Nah, the real armouring up is on the latter half, the first half just him walking into armourium.

010.M3

My thoughts exactly, it was still good though

😢 bring back Tychus

To compare a criminal and a traitor to our proud astartes... (ignores chaos)

Yup, I thought that too

I did notice, its a very nice detail 😉

Wheeeeze. Thats a good one.

Hell... It's about time

No, it is a bigger tuches.

Astartes: These Tyranids feel a lot less weaker than usual

You're telling me the setting with comedic space orks, undead robot Skelton's, space dwarves, and over the top grim dark themes is being portrayed as too cartoony? Really?

In reality the warhammer 40k franchise would likely be better off in anybodys hands other than GW.

@@matthewbrewer8318family friendly Disney? Komoney? Wizards of the scam? Gw hasn't always been a good company, but it's not the worse

@@doomkingraye7692 okay you made your point. lol I concede.

I understand what you mean about it being cartoony (ish?) I suppose they want to appeal to a larger audience and want to make it approachable without completely undoing the grim dark?

And a tech priest to make sure everything is blessed as they speed through armouring of course

these guys do it to get their talent out there, advertised. Resume of sorts so they get hired pretty quickly by big studios usually. ether way the quality warhammer stuff is usually where 3rd parties dont have a influence like most media's quality issues these days

They don't have infinite money ya know.

@@oatlord Lets begin with the fact that they're worth 3.4bn on their own. Then there's the investors, the community, their multiple source of incones from various franchises. Yeah, they could, money isn't an issue, lack of dedication is.

@@Bublito they're under no obligation to provide animation. They sell little plastic miniatures first.

@@oatlord And now you're just making pointless arguments for the sake of not looking stupid. They've made a movie already. They have several short films. They now have a partnership with Marvel They have 3 studios dedicated to 3 type of animations, Animated, CGI, real time. For each of those studios, TV series / movies were announced. Your point?

Nice Star craft reference

This video is a Starcraft reference

Agreed. I feel like this animation fits the more practical nature of the Raptors themselves, while the GW one fits much more with the religious side of the Astartes and Imperium. Both have their merits.

Hey I was thinking about that exact video when I was watching this. Nice reference

The Raptors are a very pragmatic, calculating, no-nonsense chapter - opposite side of the spectrum from the Black Templars, if the Ultramarines are in the middle. They'll also paint that armor olive drab or whichever other color that's actually stealthy when it's important.

my sentiments exactly.

Armor? Clad Boltgun? Loaded Oh yeah, it's purging time

@@CBRN-115 reference to wings of liberty opening trailer.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ THAT RIGHT THERE 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤

To be fair, the shoulders made more sense in the official one. You wouldn’t really be able to bend your arms in this version of the armor. I’m talking about the under pauldron, not the bigger one that goes over it.

Yes. He is inspirate, with Astartes fan fiction, and other references.

I thought it was a reference to halo spartan ops

It's a return to the roots, starcraft was heavily inspired by 40k

That's right. The power pack ventilation fan system?????????? I've always wonder what the hell that thing does.

@@holdencross5904 besides unloading rounds on target

@@flaminghailstorm9149 well that as well.

the funny thing is if you really look at it overall, GW straight up ripped this one off to make theirs

@@tsgmatthew2975 And both ripped off the Marine Tychus arming for Starcraft 2. We really doing this? Pretty standard from what I expect arming a Space Marine would go. Good work for it just being one person, but I prefer the Ultramarines one from GW. Reason being it takes its time and shows the ritual behind arming one of these angels of death. It shows the servitors reverence towards the space marine. Not saying this is bad, by any means, need to stress that, just that I personally prefer the other.

@@TheMetalfreak360 while servitor sacrum stuff is nice, whole GW animation feels... weird. Lightning is weird, animation and movement feel like underwater, camera movement is random, music crescendo doesn't match climax scenes, adn overall it feels like textures of play-doh... I know little of 3d animation, but it's like with pilot license, I don't have to have it to see plane shouldn't be burning

@@TheMetalfreak360 Warhammer existed before star craft 1 though? Isnt it described in the lore how these units where armored? Warhammer inspired star craft units, or am I mistaken

Pretty much everyone is ripping off everyone.

So you're telling me I got to play my favorite gaming franchises (Warcraft and Mass effect) because my favorite Movie trilogy's (lord of the rings) rights owners said no? And also because of that no we got WH40k? I'm so fucking thankful for that no you have no idea.

Hell it's about time

Same thoughts here bruv.

"Hell, it's about time." (cocks boltgun)

We needed some servitors instead, but who cares, this looks sick

@@berzercher couldn't agree more.

"We can't expect the Emperor to do all the work."

And most of those overly complicated armoring rituals are for the very first time an Astartes wear their armor; for the most cases, when time is of the essence, their armoring is more or less efficiently put.

Yeah... and yet, we don't see them recognizing the fact that Starcraft stole shit from 40K not the other way round.

@@crypteye yeah the whole stealing from 40K can get real weird since starcraft was suppose to be a 40k game but then they decided not to, but then they just didn't really bother changing much since the Zerg are just Tyranids

@@TehGrandVizier Then you should hate starcraft

I'd love to see Starcraft and 40K crossover or anything

@@CBRN-115 that would be interesting.

Really? I was getting a lot more of an Ironman 1 suit up sequence type of inspiration from this.

Wasn't Starcaft came first before Warhammer 40k? If i remember correctly Starcraft started in the 90's

The Iron Man was the first inspiration about suit scene

Starcraft started as a 40k game before the licensing deal fell through (ever notice the similarities between the zerg and tyrannids?). So it's basically an alternative universe. Close enough.

@@th3oryO Similarities between Terrans and Imperium as well, and Protoss with Eldars

Thats what I felt as well back in the day, I thought they looked too much like buzz lightyear. But I understand how it can be difficult with the minis and not overloading them with detail. But then again, I'm not a Space Marine fan, I got into the series through the Imperial Guard and human point of view stories. I was fascinated with Dark Heresy and the Dan Abbot Novels.

Yeah. Though i do have one little complaint. The shoulder armor (pauldrons i think?) Would not need nearly as many or as complex connections. Its effectively just shaped metal. Like i saife though thats a small complaint for the detail this provides

@@timothycotner3492 It is probably apart of the Black Carapace and has redundant connections and processors for helping control the arms and hands.

@@timothycotner3492 They're Raptors. Those connectors could be for extra armament, sensors, jetpack or other mobility options not present in 'normal' Astartes Power Armor.

So you never read any of the books. Start with Horus Rising, it is such a good look into the life of an Astartes (armor included)

Brilliant.

Agreed. Bolter sounds like it has a silencer

@@spencercarter8150 We don't see enough stalker bolter action, that'd be cool to see.

Agree, felt like the bolter was firing .223 instead of a .75 cal mini rocket

@Ban this youtube Well not quite, bolter shells have an initial charge unlike a gyrojet.

@Ban this youtube The RPG 7's (and most other rocket propelled systems) initial charge is simply for pushing it beyond the operator so the rocket can fire without burning the person who fired it. So it does not need to be very strong. In addition the rocket is often below the speed of sound, anywhere from 100m/s to 300m/s. MANPADs can get to above the speed of sound. However the rocket motors and the fuel are much much bigger than the warhead itself if you want to reach those speeds. Furthermore, MANPADs start out subsonic whn initially launched but transition into supersonic. Bolters do not have a transition. The 40mm grenades meant for use in handheld applications, such as in the underbarrel grenade launchers, have much less powder to make firing them comfortable. Thus they are much lower velocity than a bolter would need to be. Even the 'high velocity' grenade rounds used for mounted grenade launchers are below the speed of sound and rely almost exclusively on their explosive charge and fragments to deal damage. Bolter rounds on the other hand are meant to pierce armour and flesh and have been described as being supersonic or hypersonic depending on the book (in universe it can be explained as simply different ammunition or even a different atmosphere). Even without the warhead it's meant to pierce through thick armour with only heavy vehicles and power armour being able to withstand the kinetic force of a bolter round. Additionally, if the powder was simply used as a booster charge to get the round away from the launcher and out of harms way, then the recoil would be relatively light. However it's been described as being enough to break an unaugmented human's arm.

Because it was that scene but warhammer skin.

As opposed to figuratively being the Warhammer version of StarCraft 2 intro. Very different when it's literal.

All about the pack's generator coming online, innit :-D

​@Абдульзефир I'm pretty sure the teaser trailer for vanilla starcraft 2 came before Ironman, because when I saw Ironman in the theater my first reaction was that they completely ripped the entire scene right out of Starcraft and I was annoyed at the plagiarism and lack of originality.

@Абдульзефир ironman animation has this kind of suit up scene? Well I learn something new everyday I guess

@Абдульзефир the subject in question is not if animated Ironman series were released before SC2, but exactly this armor gearing animation, which first came in in SC2 trailer, not Ironman animated series.

@@MeliorIlle on the long war podcast they had chris metzen on since he plays warhammer. They asked if Starcraft was supposed to be a 40k game.

yeah, this one had weight, felt more satisfying to watch

The Bolt Rifle too. Most aesthetically pleasing Bolter I've seen

It makes sense when you consider the source material - early Warhammer minis were designed according to the limitations of creating minis at the time. Today, even for models, it makes sense that their designs is a bit more according to actual human proportions.

Movement is just fine. It has that heavy feel, as it should. I really like it actually

@@nemanjadakic it feels stiff and unnatural not heavy, there is a massive difference

I agree, sometimes the movement felt a bit like stop motion when it should feel smooth. Not hating because everything else is pretty great. Just one thing the creator should work on moving forward.

I wouldn't say it's at the same level as Astartes. The animation in this is a bit strange and feels janky whereas Astartes was flawless

@@theloneadventurer9871 I'm gonna be entirely honest with you, I do not see the jank, this looks just as smooth and great as astartes, only place it's lacking is sound really, that bolter sounded silenced, which I'm pretty sure it isn't

@@picklethesaurus4930 I think i know what he meant. Probably "janky" is the wrong word but if you let both animations run parallel, you will see what he means. Astartes had this sharp, absolutely clean look where this one has more detail and stuff in the background mixed in. It's like comparing a perfectly stacked block of papers to one that was rearanged (in lack of a better term). Both have the same material but you see a difference.

It looks great, and I’m excited, but the sound isn’t great and the animation is slightly off in a way that’s hard to describe
