10th Edition is right around the corner. When are we getting an animated 40K show?
>No skull knuckles on the power fist
New termie a shit.
have a nice day.
There's a few on that warhammer+ streaming service, they're just not very good.
Hammer and Bolter
Iron Within
Angels of Death
Interrogator
The Exodite
I'd argue Angels of Death was pretty good
Not great but good
Hard fricking disagree on Interrogator, that one is good. People shit on Hammer and Bolter because of the animation, but the stories are fun and they do a good job of giving you a feeling for the entire universe.
What’s wrong with the animation?
A few things
>Scenes are more a slideshow than actually animated
>Mixture of 3d with 2d is jarring and takes one out of the experience
>Color palate is too muggy in some places while too bright in others
>Art style needs a little bit more edge to it
But the stories are good
It's janky and a little cheap, but very dynamic and the style they're using fits the universe.
This Commissar Yarrick clip was what sold me on the series. Not every episode is full of action, some have a slow build up and I think those are the best. They give the setting more room to breathe.
Is this real? Why the frick is the animation at like 5 FPS?
Probably because they are using fewer frames unless they can tween or use 3D models.
I just want Genndy to give us another Primal styled bloodbath and depict the Blood Angels going apeshit at the end of the Heresy
Calling it animation, for a start
>There's a few on that warhammer+ streaming service, they're just not very good.
Or Cinemaphile can't pirate it so no discussion 'bout that
You can sort of pirate them, there's some russki ripping them, they're on rutracker and tpb at least. But he's just not that timely in putting them up.
>There's a few on that warhammer+ streaming service
I still can't believe they killed off so many fan animators to push through a "streaming service" that has only a hand full of actual media.
They should have just had it on any other streaming service and actually try to grow people's interest in their IP
Yeah it was a really dumb move
Compare the amount of interest in their wh+ shows (virtually fricking none, I never ever hear about it beyond people remarking how awful H&B looks) to when stuff was just on youtube by fans. They really fricked up by doing what they did to the arstates guy in particular.
I got into 40K right before they launched their lawsuit against Chapter House. They made decorative shoulder pads to be used on the 40k minis and in no way cut into their sales in any reasonable measure. I always see them as being aggressively going after people for just bringing positive attention to their IP because they can't handle anyone else making money off their product.
If they wanted to do a streaming service, they could have just actually tried having files available for 3d printing like weapon kits and shoulder pads or even scatter terrain. Literally anything that directly supports their actual product, which is a table top game.
Not that anon.
I'm a complete casual when it comes to the corporate history of GW, but I think the other reason they're maniacally protective of their IP is because they couldn't trademark generic names like space marine or imperial guard.
>maniacally protective of their IP is because they couldn't trademark generic names like space marine or imperial guard
They were like that before. They went after Chapter House for selling accessories to their model kits, which got thrown out because they couldn't show how they were actually losing sales and Chapter House wasn't selling any product that directly competed with GW.
Years later they filed a lawsuit against a random amateur author for a book titled "Spots the Space Marine." It got international attention overnight and GW eventually dropped the lawsuit after it was pointed out that they weren't the first people to use the phrase "space marine."
Immediately after this, they went on a massive campaign to relabel all their material to have legally unique names that they could defend in court. Then when they wanted to make a streaming service, they went after fan animators. Most people figure that it was because they wanted to either scare all talent to working for them or to cut out any competition.
>to relabel all their material to have legally unique names that they could defend in court.
To be fair Astra Militarum is cooler than Imperial Guard.
They're also a lot like Nintendo when it comes to lawsuits. They'll only go after smaller studios / individuals that they know cannot fight them in court, but the second they come up against a bigger studio their balls shrivel extremely fast. E.g. the lawsuit surrounding the name of Malekith in Warhammer Fantasy Battles between GW and Marvel (Malekith from the Thor comics), then GW change jisname is changed to Malerion in Warhammer: Age of Sigmar.
*changed his name to Malerion in Warhammer: Age of Sigmar.
Hammer & Bolter is already a thing.
An Arcane-style animated show for 40K would be kino supremo. But it's never happening. Too much money, too much risk to the IP.
Geedubs are nothing without their IP. So they have that shit on lockdown like Nintendo. But unlike Nintendo, Geedubs can't promise billion-dollar box office. So no studio is willing to put up with their bullshit
The absolute absense of wokeness wouldn't make it interesting for any studio.
A Fire Warrior adaptation would appeal to both sides. Avatar-style moralising for the wokes, gothic ultraviolence for the chuds.
And alien babes for the coomers.
>10th
Goddamn I joined up with Fifth and then Quit in Seventh and they are still trying to reinvent the wheel.
Did the game get better or worst?
A 40k show should be stop motion with actual miniatures.
