What do we all think about the current sweeping up of content creators and animators of the 40k Universe?

[newyou]

This man could single handedly send the Warhammer 40k franchise into a golden age.

[noahtran]

- Lamenters
- Fucking Dying

Name a more iconic duo.

[croc_moat]

This dude's animating skills were blessed by The Emperor.

[MN-jwmm]

You know GamesWorkshop has serious internal issues when they hire a guy like this and he STOPS producing content this good.

[NtoTheM]

They didn't buy him to enable him to make more.

They bought him to disable him from making more.

[galacticyeet]

*sees Lamenters*

Emperor have mercy on their souls.

[FEIJYRA]

damn the counter and punch on the orc was soo clean and badass

[rathenn]

Shame we won't truly get to see his vision, most likely. We'll get the dumbed down Games Workshop branded one... Hope they let him do as he pleases, though, given how great Astartes is.

[JuggernautCorps]

Astartes is the sole reason I got into wh, absolutely fell in love with the animation and then went down the lore rabbit hole.

[blazejames]

3 years and nothing. Can't believe GW is eliminating their best contemporary art to abide by their shareholder value. Pure insanity.

[matt]

Me: Oh look a lamenter marine!
*Watches him get clobbered by orks.*
Me: Oh... right.

[CsquidyC]

I like how this isn't strictly Imperial porn showing off how "cool" or "heroic" the space marines are and instead shows them as bad asses duking it out in the vast sea of bad ass that is 40k.

[muneirovalibas]

I like how he portray how frightening the Orcs really are.
We all know Orcs are oftentime portrayed as comedic relief, almost borderline wholesome.
But their "happiness" is to tear your loved ones limb from limb in front of you.

[CristianVinnie]

I will never forgive GW for stealing us this absolute masterpiece

[martinfreemon]

The way these Astartes are animated is how I imagine them moving. Powerful, efficient, and angular. You can _feel_ the heft of their strikes.

[BaronVonMott]

Orkz? Tyranids? To quote one of the greatest leaders in all the worlds of Warhammer...

"Get ready, Boyz! *DIS ONE'S GONNA BE FUN!"*

[dogcatchen]

I love how he is able to capture how ruthless and efficient space marines are

[guerney]

Considering that Syama Pedersen is now locked in GW's dungeon, forced to draw on walls with his fingers, using his blood instead of paint and getting yelled at to "make it cheaper", I don't think we will

[SheyD]

1. The astartes guy is legendary
2. restricting fan-made property is ludicrous, as it's either good & therefore free publicity or not and completely irrelevant.
3. GW better do something fantastic with the people they're gathering up or the backlash will be huge.
