DREAD FALL

The follow up to 'WAKING DREAD' - see what happens when an Astartes Dreadnought crashes down on a heretic battalion... Modelled, animated and textured by me. All in Blender. (It gets better every release)

This was a long time coming. Hope you all enjoy the show! even if it is 1 minute 30 seconds long. I feel it packs a punch.

If you would like more from me please - help contribute through my patreon, so I can follow my dream of not working on corporate videos anymore, and make the things I want to make instead - like this!

Shouout to Holymayo - he knows who he is

It looks clunky, but they're surprisingly dexterous. That's a Dreadnought, and you captured that perfectly.

[jjcoz]

A very brave individual, posting a warhammer fan animation in these dark times.

I've always admired how a dreadnought can be used as a ballistic by simply dropping into combat

[judi]

I like how in general dreadnoughts are shown to be pretty clunky but when you really think about dreadnought being called "Masters of war" you trully realize that they are extermely dangerous

[reforgedrpg]

For 27 years I have thought that the dreadnoughts looked blocky and would move slowly, almost ponderously... you have purged me of these heretical thoughts. This was amazing!!!

[TheColosiss]

This actually makes sense if we think about it. Dreadnoughts are masters of war who have lived for hundreds if not thousands of years. They are constantly lubricated and worshipped whilst they slumber to prevent any harm while they rest. Once awoken, their experience, knowledge, wisdom, and foresight are their 1st tools. Those that are deployed are virtually unstoppable because of their combat prowess. In the stories most of us have read, few enemies have been able to rival a dreadnought.

I realize the game has balance to ensure every player has fun; but it's nice to see how the Ancient Ones are supposed to be depicted from the books. It's refreshing to NOT see 3 Venerables completely decimated by a single squad of Orkk Boys because my friends dakkadakka 6s are unstoppable...

The dreadnought acting as a human would do by shielding his face from something thrown at him truly shows that that's no machine but still a true human being. Iconic

"Should we not send reinforcements to aid our Venerable Kinsman, Brother-Captain?"

(Captain, watching the Dreadnought spin a hapless cultist like a top:)

"And deny our Ancient his simple pleasures?"

[anamelessname]

Rip boxnought he will live forever in our hearts

I can hear GWs lawyers furiously typing already.

Dreadnought perfectly represented!! Power, presence, overwhelming destructive potential while still having some tactical acumen. Superb work my friend

[escoltafortuna]

Heretic: "An Imperial Dropship!? I shall go closer and inspect it"
Dreadnaught: "So, you have chosen death?"

[killianasheart]

My strat for Dawn of war:
“Sir we’re losing forces.”
“Drop the dreadnoughts.”
“How many?”
“Yes.”

[glacyitefreez]

That first soldier being spun into oblivion was so awesome

[zenextendo]

I love the fact as the gunship is firing upon the Dreadnought and it's shielding itself, it begins to pre-rev the Assault Cannon before firing, nice little detail there.

Hi, I'm from Russia and my English language skills are very poor. But, I am your video prompted me to get a dictionary and phrasebook in order to write this review. The video and the animation itself are beyond praise. It's reminiscent of SODA, but your animation also has more atmosphere and quality... THE DREADNOUGHT OF THE BLOOD ANGELS! These guys are incredibly cool, and personally, I, a man who loves space wolves, wanted to take a bolter and go cut down heretics. Thank you for your quality work.

[solitairemask]

This is exactly why dreadnoughts are so awesome. They look big and cumbersome, but the Astartes inside is a master of the mechanisms and weapons, and can easily wipe an entire fortress by himself!

[LamborghiniDiabloSVPursuit]

Shooting at a Dreadnought with anything less than anti-vehicular weaponry will do nothing but further incense the pilot, who's having the equivalent of an eternal, enraged hangover.

[whitlermountain]

Dude this is fucking incredible

Almost nearly died laughing at that poor trooper being spun like he's put into a blender

[pilotmanpaul]

THE COMPANY FELL BEFORE THE FANBASE DID!

STAND STRONG BROTHERS AND KEEP UP THE AWESOME ANIMATIONS!
