Is it better than those cartoons. being made on the warhammers streaming service ?
Probably, since it looks like nobody watched those cartoons.
it's one of the worst films I've seen twice
At least much better quality that those shitty youtube shorts about the homosexual fist astartes and the psykers.

What?
It's an ok 40k movie by virtue of their being no other 40k movies when it came out.
That does not mean it was a good movie. Also the CGI is not great. The Lord inquisitor trailer which was also floating around at the time mogged it HARD.
I don't know much about 40k other than the basics: Old human empire fell apart, aliens r bad, warp is 2spooky, monster gods, GodEmperor, grimdark war everywhere forever, exterminatus, also no robots.
Will I enjoy watching this or be utterly confused the whole time? I'm kind of curious but don't care to read a dozen tabletop game manuals and novels to get all the lore.
Probably
>also no robots
Nah there's robots.
Isn't that just a mech? I meant robots as in AI, machines with wills of their own not piloted by anybody else. I thought those were verboten in 40k, something something robot revolt in the past or whatever.
that is a robot anon a proper AI but is only robot so far that GW has shown
Weird, doesn't the human government hate AI? Maybe I was simply misinformed.
no you see anon, it's a helpful dumb automaton, definitely not an abominable intelligence, honest, don't you see the Aquilla?
Interesting, there's always going to be more lore to this franchise than I can absorb it seems.
>people kept 'alive' for ages as components in machines
How delightfully horrifying
oh anon you have no idea. The only thing stopping a Thallax from going full schizo, killing everyone around it and then itself is the equivlent of a restraining bolt. These guys are in constant agony
It seems like every single last thing in 40k is desperately trying to be more abjectly horrifying than every other thing in the franchise. I kind of like it.
I also really like the concept of these huge ancient ships that nobody knows how to build anymore but can still operate enough to get around. Plus they look like big evil flying cathedrals and that's pretty rad.
Pic related sounds pretty much right
Theres lots of decent story, and even more absolute garbage. You can just ignore 80% of it and choose whatever version you like.
Key thing to note is human government is brazil tier corrupt and doesn't follow or even have the ability to enforce its own rules about 80% of the time.
they do, they just sometimes have odd standards about what type of AI is ok
for example if your AI is build using parts of a harvested a lobotomized human brain that is fine because its based in the human brain, that is in fact why humans in 40k have all these gross skeleton robots called servitor because the only type of AI that is allowed has to use human brain parts for the more complicated tasks
Officially yes, but that doesn't stop some hereteks from tinkering. If I recall correctly Cawl (big important techboi) has this thing he calls the Cawl Inferior, which he swears is just a glorified Alexa, and totally not a Abominable Intelligence.
That partiuclar one is, we just don't talk about it
a mech suit isn't a robot, they meant no droids aka no machines that can think for themselves, although my understanding of the lore is the Martians has some interesting ideas about what level or type of AI is ok and which isn't
Titans which have to be piloted basically Pacific Rim style have a "Machine Spirit" which seems to be religious way of talking about the system AI while avoiding admitting that those machines have minds of their own
That isn't a mech suit, that's one of the last surviving men of iron in 40k.
Well, he was. Dwarves have robots now.
that's a lie, Squats are a myth, they don't actually exist
as if the Emperor would allow such subhuman scum to live
Exactly. I'd rather kiss Horus than be forced to share a planet with a below-average species such as this.
It’s like a well done community college team project. They made what they wanted, technically unimpressive, and narratively sloppy. but, hey outside of the Astartes project there isn’t much ‘good’ 40k video content, so it could be worse? The Warhammer+ channel has worse content than this.
It's horrible in every single way. Can't even be watched ironically
Warhammer is the most bland and uninspiring sci fi setting of all time
40ktards ruin everything
The problem is that it got so far from the original hook premise that it looks bloated from the outside.
Its just medieval sword and sorcery in space, with space knights fighting space demons and space orks and space skeletons.
Simple as.
Nah both new Star Wars and new Star Trek are way more uninspired than 40k
40k at least gets what it is suppose to be, a future of ridiculous over the top violence
>humans in 40k are the most bland and uninspired things
Fix’d. But seriously spess marines are if starship troopers was unironic and written by rob zombie. Other factions are more interesting.
This is the proper soulful 40kino.
You know I would like an Avatar level violence and global politics World of Warcraft cartoon.
John hurt is in this movie because he played 40k that is all I know about it
pretty shit voice actors aside, but it does have like 2 cool moments
?t=107
It's a weird movie that gets a lot of lore wrong but really sold me on the awesomeness of Thunder Hammers
Why does such a massive, detail-rich franchise have a draught of content? It's not like GW is against commercialization or anything. Despite primarily being films, Star Wars still had tons of vidya and cartoon spinoffs. Some of which were good. But somehow WH40k barely has either, and it's not "quality over quantity" either
GW aren't very smart. They decided to take a franchise that's already pretty niche, make cartoons of it, and then hide them behind a paywall.
Most pirate sites don't bother with this movie so demand is very low.
40k gets all the love but I'd really love a comfy Warhammer Fantasy/End Times show. Vermintide really sold me on the setting.
Check out the Tales of the Ten Tailed cat comics, short six pagers from 2000ad alumni with the framing device that they're stories told in a WHF pub.
fantastic, thanks for the recommendation
I don’t like warhammer in general as I feel it just copies and dumbs down ideas from more imaginative science fiction series in order to create a bland product that appeals only to normalgays. Also warhammer characters are all just strong guys with some one note gimmick such as liking wolves.
