500'000 views? thats insane! for what was an excercise in 3D after watching an astartes video in lockdown - I'm amazed! thanks for all your kind words! As an update to the follow up video I can safely say I am 3 shots away from completing the whole graphical side of the film. But then it goes on to sound, music, grade, voice and touchups. Though just to tease a smidge - here is my new showreel which for 2021 which has a few shots from the new video th-cam.com/video/GcmmJv6pSRk/w-d-xo.html
Can't wait to see more from the angry postbox!
What are your thoughts on Armored Core Verdict Day for FX inspiration?
@@edmondsmith4259 This is the first time I've heard of this game so... Nothing direct? but it certainly looks cool as hell to me
GW not come for you yet?
@@ZhukelDror shhh! They'll hear you!
Dreadnoughts : Too wounded to live , Too precious to die .
Indeed, ...to unable to use more usual power-armour suit safely enough, nor witiout needing medical, biological and nerve fibre life-sustainment sub-systens and the post-human connection services of the veteran marine's remaining amount of black carapace terminal clusters surviving upon them still, to relearn like an new sense of mental nerve patterns of musculature and bio-electro-chemical interfaces to operate enough as the interred occupants of each dreadnaught's sarcophaguses/sarcophagi.
@@razor1uk610 So, pretty much like a Protoss Dragoon?
@@kjellringstrom6217 Totally a protoss dragoon, where did you think blizzard got the idea from?
When the ennemy try to kill you but you're already dead inside
The Emperor's own prototype
Normal Humans: "Bury the dead, may they rest in peace"
Grimdark 40K 'Humans': *_"Wake the dead! Their service is required."_*
And then let them sleep undisturbed when not fighting
Wake the fuck up dead guy we have some heritics to burn
Meanwhile the Aeldari:
"Yeah mate it's tough and technically taboo but let's stick a soul or three into this wraithboner thing."
"JUST the walkers, right?"
"Fuck no, are you crazy? Stick them into every vehicle we have you dolt."
"I thought this was taboo-"
"Shut. It. Garomar."
@@mortarion9813 Yeah.... **Worried Infinity circuit laugh**
This gives the Verdun's Warcry "Debout les morts!" a whole new meaning.
Imagine being an Eldar who takes out an Astarte, only to have them come back as a Dreadnought twice as pissed.
Dreadnought: you killed me the last time we met!
eldar: i have killed many space marines, you'll have to be more specific
@@matthiuskoenig3378 eldar: you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?
@@DanteSuper95 Magneus Calgar: FAHCK OFF, YOU SPARKLY PIXIE MACHINE
@Alphagon & Omegarius They are like human drednoughts but emo
LOL, great comment.
Eldar; I wish I could feel something.

Only in death does duty end, but the catch is they won’t let you die

@@professorsimosuchus7954 one last service any guardsmen makes
The best dreadnought scene from a novel is Malcharion the war sage of the night lords legion... refuses to be roused from slumber for ten millennia until people start a gunfight in his chamber wakes up blows a terminator away and casually states “I heard shooting”
That's bloody hilarious XD

When you bring that up, it's no wonder why Dreadnoughts are devastating on the battlefield.
such a sad story when you know it in its entirety.

Dreadnoughts: because a retirement home isn’t grimdark enough.
There's a retirement home for Imperial Guard soldiers who get PTSD and need psychological help.
There's also a factory that makes combat servitors in the exact same system as that retirement home. Pure coincidence, I'm sure.

This was amazing. Loving the recent animations coming out of the War hammer community.
It's definitely because of Astartes! its why i started this project in the first place
@@MaxMurray3D Good on you, man.
@@MaxMurray3D Astartes was the trendsetter that made normies like me even look into 40k.
2020 might not be so bad after all...
The Warhammer community is one of the best out there
Glorious. The only downside I could think of was the sound of combustion engine. Dreadnoughts and most of marines vehicles have thermal reactors, and the pseudo exhaust pipes are just a part of cooling system
Yeah, i cant tell if i wanted to laugh or be depressed by that ugly diesel engine sound.
Could be replaced with more of a low whoosh...
Personally, I was more bothered by the complete lack of chanting techmarines and incense, as well as how silently his arms were re-attached.
@@vavra222 to be fair I don’t remind anyone complaining about that in say the dawn of war cutscenes, let alone anyone complaining about how it’s not accurate to paint the « cooling pipes » as if they were exhaust pipes.
@@nathanjora7627 I havent played any Dawn of War games, yet.
But i understand your point, its honestly not that big of a deal but it still kinda bothers me, but not enough to make me anywhere near mad.
I just thought of a game idea:
You play as a dreadnought, awoken by your chapters chaplains due to the rest of your chapter falling to chaos. You would need to explore the ship, ether destroying key systems to destroy the ship, or fighting your way to the bridge and holding it against your former chapter while the chaplains (if they survived) pilot the ship into the nearest star.
It would be a rouglite, with you finding starting weapons/other dreadnought chassis when you win and as statues hidden throughout the ship.
Your weapons would have ammunition, reloading being a difficult endeavor due to your requiring the surviving chaplains to reload your weapons for you, meaning you would need to keep them alive as best you can. You would be able to order them around and tell them to pick up different weapons. You could probably also customize the ones that start with you at the start of the game.
What do ye think?
If only i were a millionaire
fund it
the premise is neat, could add another ending (pilot to the nearest star, detonate the warp drive, or cleanse the ship during emergency warp jump to make sure no one leave)
Instead of letting chaplain do all those routine (repairing you, maintaining your chasis and armament, installing upgrade), you could find a surviving Techmarine (due to half of their loyalty is to Mechanicus) and let him do the 'Engineering' job while you and chaplain goes merry-go-adventure. The idea of le chplain the one who reloads for you or unjammed your equipment is neat.
Tech marines are the guys who fix your stuff and maintain it. Probably better to use a Tech Marine and a Chaplin. That watched could play off each other. Being of different faiths, and vastly different focuses.
Imagine you're dreadnought the last member of your chapter due to all your brothers falling to chaos and you have the order to slaughter them all just imagine how emotional it can be

AT LAST BACK TO WAR
"May the Emperor have mercy, for I shall not."
Twins they were. - Tankred of the Black Templars after waking up.
Dreadnoughts: Because the Imperium doesn't have a pension plan.
Dreadnoughts: Because even as a mortally wounded, combat innefective husk, youre still required to serve the emperor
The dreadnougt is the pension
The Dreadnoughts ARE the pension plan.
Dreadnoughts exist because some space marines are literally too angry to die..
@@thathandsomedevil0828 Dreadnoughts exist because a space marine that has lost his arms and legs to genestealers is still a soacemarine, and one oughta use their superior cerebral skills to man a fighting platform, also dreadnoughts are more or less the sages of their chapaters as an reasonably old chapter might have dreadnoughts that have been alive half as long

Looking forward to seeing more!
When he lands and tears apart some greenskin heretics? absolutely
@S Anythings possible! though I already have the next film in mind - down the line I can see a writhing mass of Tyranids shredding through everything in the future
@@MaxMurray3D Your work is amazing!

Alright, im going to bed. Just wake me up and fire me from orbit next time you need something really really dead.
Dreadnought in a nutshell
😂😂
This was a really nice vid. I loved that glimpse through the viewport at the Marine inside.
Certainly would enjoy seeing more.
I thought they floated in amniotic fluid
@@amadeokomnenus1414 yes they do in some lore. A few older versions were more like this particular style. There have been a few interpretations over the years 🙂
We’ll be watching your career with great interest...
I also love his little jaunty walk. He just seems so happy.
"oh boy, here I go, killing again"
EVEN IN DEATH I STILL SERVE!!..
AT LAST BACK TO WAR
Damn I miss DoW2
🎾
Dreadnought "At last, back to war"
nice work
For some reason, my first thought seeing the door open as he walk along the corridor was "oh no, this is going to take a while."
I'm not sure why, but thank goodness for jumpcuts.
0:13 "shhhh, quiet...he's asleep..."
0:52 "I TOLD YOU TO TURN THE DAMN LIGHTS OFF"
Tech marine: Oh, mighty Machine spirts; awaken this ancient one from his ancient slumber. The Omnissiah has need of him once again.
Dreadnaught: I HAVE AWAKENED!!!
Tech marine: Glorious Dreadnaught we need your...
Dreadnaught: WHY ARE YOU SO FREAKISHLY TALL.
Tech marine: I’m sorry what?
Dreadnaught: WHY. ARE. YOU. SO. XXXXING. TALL.
Tech marine: I am a Primaris marine, more specifically a...
Dreadnaught: WHAT THE XXXX IS A PRIMARIS MARINE!!
Primaris Tech marine: You may have missed out on a few current events.
Dreadnaught: I CAN SEE THROUGH YOUR PATHETIC DISGUISE XENOS!! BEFORE I KILL YOU EXPLAIN NOW!
Primaris Tech marine: OH XXXXX!
Chapter Master: < over intercom> New guy is Brother Lazarus up yet?
Brother Lazarus: CHAPTER MASTER I HAVE CORNERED A XENOS MASDQERADING AS A MARINE!
Chapter Master: The new guy is one of ours.
Brother Lazarus: MY MISTAKE.
Primaris Tech marine: Thank you.
Brother Lazarus: FREAK.
Primaris Tech marine:
Chapter Master: Lazarus we are going to Hecate III just outside the Eye of Terror.
Brother Lazarus: THATS NOWHERE NEAR THE EYE!!!!
Chapter Master: New guy fill him in. Chapter Master out.
Primaris Tech marine: So...
Brother Lazarus: START TALKING OR STOP BREATHING!!!
This is cannon
@@STbattlefront Thank you.
This is how i feel the whole of the primaris would have been received by every standard astartes.
Astartes: "WTF are these?"
Mechanicus: We call it a Prima.....
Astartes: "HERESY!!!!!! Pass me the HEAVY flamer!!!"
Best bit of 40k I've be read in quite a while.
The video of was good as it well.🤔 Shame GW are pricks. 😔
@@effdiffeyeno171 Yeah GW is getting on everyone's nerves. I hope they become better before its too late.
Dreadnoughts: My service has only just BEGUN.
"This is no machine...it's a tomb."
"Then what is there to fear, if you already are dead?"
@@ladywaffle2210 "The death itself"
@@Warhamer116 "But have you not already died? Have you not been placed in an armored tomb, for the purpose of sending the wretched heretics to theirs?"
it's a weaponized tomb...and that's a Standard Dreadnaught
"Even i death, i shall follow his word, and shall serve him!"
All hail the Red Dread. I love this thing. No force fields, no lasers, no fancy plasma cannons and it looks like it runs on diesel. Perfect for home defense.
It's why he's our favourite box boi
"DEPLOY THE BOY"!
*boy is deployed, over*
Just imagine if Christmas music was playing in the background of this entire video
"Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus Lane..."
Oh yeah, it works!
THE EMPEROR KNOWS IF YOU HAVE BEEN BAD OR GOOD
@@gomez6223 More like the Emperor knows if you've been bad or worse. This is grimdark after all.
Just hear those dreadnaughts rumbling, tum-tum-tumbling too,
C'mon there's such enjoyment in a drop pod deployment with youuuu...
Giddy-yup, giddy-yup, giddy-yup, let's fly,
Let's fall from the sky,
Bolters chatter and the xenos scream and die...
Giddy-yup, giddy-yup, giddy-yup, it's grand,
The Emperor's hand,
We're bringing exterminatus down on a smouldering black wasteland!
@@twistsnakeanklesvids261 THOSE ARE BRILLIANT LYRICS. I more than approve!
For the love of all that's dark and grim, this needs to be recorded into an actual Christmas carol, just one of several choice selections for an entire album, "An Ecclesiarchy-Approved, Emperor-Sanctioned, Thrice-Blessed Holiday Season Singalong with the Boltgun Tabernacle Choir".
cranky old man coming through!!! Watch out world, here he comes!!! 😂
Amazing work mate.
Oh my Omnissiah I love this image now.
"I am over four thousand years old. My body is broken. I cannot survive outside this shell of metal and wires. I am very old...
And YOU JUST WOKE ME UP!!! *GET OFF MY LAWN, XENOS!*
I love this, the noise it makes sounds like a ford falcon starting up. Love it
For anyone crying about the Dreadnoughts start up diesel sound.
Just be glad we have such an amazing community that bothers doing stuff like this.
Seeing a dreadnought getting ready to reck some shit is fuckin awesome great work!
FORGEMASTER! I REQUIRE COFFEE AFTER MY DECADE-LONG SLUMBER.
See and I never imagined the fingers being so dexterous but I really like how fluidly they moved!!!!!!
I want to see this as a short or as a full film... I LOOOVE Dreadnoughts and think that they are one of the most interesting units in the entire 40k Universe...
You could do SOOO much with a story revolving around 1, a squad of Dreads, or even just a squad including one!
Keep up the great work!!!
I love how, when the arm chains failed to disconnect, he just snapped them off.
"I dreamt of two Sororitas...they were twins."
Edit: well s**t this is unexpected...thx!
"Tell me more,brother...were...were they hot?"
Beautiful in fact.
HE ENDURES
Tankred endures!
@@JRBDWD Yes, it got hot very quickly.
Both of them had Flamers.
The face moving inside was a good touch
Someone's in for a bad day when he lands! :D
Dreadnoughts remind me of Tweedledee and Tweedledum on the show Andromeda. Oversized weapons of war.
Frigging gorgeous! Excellent work .
Really captures the sheer destructive might of a dreadnought without even firing a shot .❤
Somebody should download this before GW takes it down.
I love that you could actually see him in there. Like it makes it feel so much more than just a robot.
Brother Murray! The emperor is pleased with your work!💀🔥🖤
.. my fave part is the diesel sound as he starts up... effin mac and kenwood love...much as HE who sits on the golden throne would approve of...kudos..
At first I thought the title said "Walking Dread". This is a well-done animation.
Wakes up in a robot body.
Task #1 walk across a narrow bridge. I love it.
Good work, keep it up.
Something I've always liked about Warhammer is the design for Imperial tech. Most of it isn't made to look nice and sleek, it's made to work and be ugly since it has an ugly purpose.
Dreadnoughts: Old, grumpy, cantankerous, and also absolutely badass.
This is absolutely amazing! good job mate!
Those little legs. Looks like it was going to take about 20 mins to get to the drop-pod :D
Nice work. Lovely model and environment.
This piece of art, is bloody amazing!!! Well done man!!! This is so cool, it’s so fluid and it’s so beautiful to watch!!!
Amazing job man, that was incredible.
- I have awoke-
That was great, man! Keep it up! Gonna keep an eye out for new stuff from you, that's for sure!
I also am looking forward to the next installment! More explosions in the next one!
texturing was really good on this one, like the movement as well
When you're taking a nap, and you hear xenos outside on your lawn-
Seeing the Astartes through the visor was an awesome touch. Very humanizing for a big cube with legs and a machine gun.
"Awaken Brother, the Chapter has the need of your might once more."
"Aye. Even in death, I still serve."
I actually love that Engine Sound. "Tractor is awake. Tractor will go hunt now!"
Make a pt 2. The emperor demands it
Can't wait for GW to snatch you up, too. That was fantastic!
Imagine being that guy who falls over to the side of the cat walk after suiting up
I love this it show that people really whant a 40k movie or TV series to watch
keep the lore small size, turns many fans off
If only it were this easy! :D I think it takes long rituals and what not to wake one up. They are one of my favourite things in the Imperium. The fact a soldier could come back, to fight once more. With all his memories, experience, wisdom...all his deeds engraved upon his chassis. Love em. Well done! Great work here, especially since all done by Yourself! I'm especially amazed by the rigging and animation, cause that's probably the hardest part of all.
I live to serve AGAIN
Yeah, this short is severely lacking in Cogboys...
He might be briefly asleep between deployments, since his sarcophagus is already installed.
I love your animations of the dreadnought. Most portrails are of them being lumbering suits of armour, but they're actually extremely nimble like Knight's of old.
i read this a walking dead...still kinda correct
Dreadnought "pilots" view themselves as dead anyway so they are technically the walking dead.
So Cool! Love the sound of the launch, veryimpressive
"This...is ...eternal, I can never leave, I can never follow him" "THIS IS ETERNAL"
as sad as that is, he does punch pretty good for a ten thousand year old man.
I love seeing my grandpa walking
Well, if that were to happen, it might well shake the Imperium to its core, considering that technically any Space Marine's grandfather is the Emperor...
Wow, how didn't I discover that masterpiece before ! :o
Cool, I can definitely see the astartes influence here. Beautiful
Even in death i still serve
Ngl that transport pod ejection jump scared the sh*t out of me! 😂
The Emperor smile on you! I actually felt the weight of the dreadnought as it moved.
So, how many views do you guys think this video is going to get before GW decides to _"collaborate"_ with the animator and tell him to delete it?
Place your bets, everyone!
I think I'm flattered? But I also don't see that happening anytime soon. I only have 1 real video currently. But do check back for the sequel soon. I've put way too much work into it to never show anyone!
My fave tabletop model.
Thanks, looks great!
"I still function" - megatron
As a blender artist myself, its great to see such quality come out of such wonderful and free software
"Even in death I still serve!"
I love how it sounds like a Ford Transit starting up.
0:45 Sounds like this thing runs on diesel fuel.
I'm so glad this is still up and accessible
*EVEN IN DEATH I SERVE!*
THIS. Incredibly clean animation. Well done!
Thanks! I'm hoping the sequel to this will be thoroughly filthy
You know...inside of that thing is guranteed to be super uncomfortable.
Well in the lore the space marine inside experiences the feelings and sensations of when they died and memories whenever they are awoken. That’s why they are so pissed all the time.
Some say to this day the dread is still walking to that pod.
Goosebumps galore! Amazing work!
Rarely can something be funny and badass at the same time
Loved the side-to-side weight shifting while walking. A lot of 40K animations of bipedal machines look like they're just gliding forward ignoring their center of gravity.
i love Dreadnoughts so mutch. :D
Absolutely beautiful. What I find interesting is that in the fan projects I've seen, it's always classic marines and Castraferrum dreadnoughts and never Primaris and Redemptors. No matter how hard the new is pushed, the old will always have a special place in our hearts.
Oh god, It's Beautiful...!!
Makes me miss this model sculpt so much
Amazing video
Max: (Wakes up Dread)
Dread: "I serve now, and forever."
(Good quality animation my guy, the emperor protects)
Loved it! Liked seeing the pod exiting! Subbed and sharing. This deserves much more attention! Well done.
