Well if you can't fight a Chaos Knight and your only hope of survival is that the guys who have the guns to take it down come quickly, you can spend the time useful doing other stuff like giving first aid to a comrade or shooting at people your gun can actually kill.
I don't think there Iron Warriors proper as the Iron Warriors don't properly fall to chaos as they hate mutation as most certainly wouldn't be seen with Kornate (the blood gods) Marking on there armour. But it maybe a splinter war band that broke away from the Iron Warriors during the Horus heresy. perhaps they got separated from the rest of there legion and went to the Eye of terror with the other traitors while the rest of the Legon retreated to there fortress worlds.
The frontal assault by the regular guard was probably just to focus the attention of the enemy on that battle and draw more of their forces in that direction, hence the Iron Warriors being deployed. Which would make it easier for the Kasrkin team to slip through and take out the Cardinal.
Chaos Guardsman: You're nothing but a pathetic pawn! Your so called Emperor is a rotting corpse on a throne of lies! That one guy: You're talking mad shit for someone in plasma pistol distance.
I mean... Not to mention Chaos gods just give you extra eyeballs and tentacles... I'd rather serve a rotting corpse and remain human than be tentacle monster man. 😂
0:51 - Completing a warp translation a few hundred feet above a planet's surface is the definition of 'drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword.'
Those ships are pretty large, so scale throws things off. It's at least 10+ kilometers up. Still, bonkers how close that is way too close to have a stable orbit without some bonkers engines.
@cullenkelley4828 hahah it's more in Warhammer Lore, you can't do this because planetary gravity causes weird stuff to happen with warp translation. Like exploding, or translating into the crust of the planet. Which is why there are established points where translation can occur, called Mandeville points.
@@cullenkelley4828 not really, the battleships are generally "only" 5km long, exception being the very few Gloriana class battleships that were around 20km, and even fewer survived to 41st millenium.
This is beyond incredible work. The fact you were able to provide a cohesive plot with only a minimal number of named characters says a great deal. This is even before getting into the large scale battles you were able to animate. It has been a long time since I saw a 40k adaptation that had me going "oh SHIT" every other minute. That final speech by the traitor cardinal and the reveal was also PEAK. Absolutely outstanding. I cannot wait for more.
@@joshanmarcusyuanregencia345 Well, he is a chaos cultist, so yes. You can tell that by his whole speech and the fact that he's mutated beyond human condition. And in the Imperium, the only God is the God Emperor. Anybody who worships the chaos gods is a heretic and a traitor and ought to be purged (and will most likely be purged by the Inquisition, who in this scenario probably called in support from the Imperial Guard).
“Phew, that took forever but we’re finally in reach of the cardinal and we can go home soon after such a difficult siege.” Iron warriors playing a feint and revealing themselves with a giant warship containing a full detachment with at least a hundred marines, three chaos knights and what’s probably a Horus rebellion era tank. “AMATEURS.”

Seeing a lot of 40k animations starting to trickle out of the warp. After all these years of using my imagination when fighting with my little plastic models it makes me happy to see animators turn their attention to the grim dark future of the 41st Millennium.
there used to be a lot more then GW revised their fair use policy and essentially sent everyone the blue folder saying "work for us or be ready to talk to our lawyers"
enjoy it before GW goes on another "witch hunt" and has the video pulled for violating the IP or some such bullsh^t. you would think they would be happy people love the universe and want to create/expand on it. free advertising at the very least.
You want to know something more it was all made for most of the animation scene and other on arma 3 this old rusty War simulation from 2013 can still do those type of machina that impressive the author used some Black Magic or his bless by the machine

Ah. That would also explain why i thought some of the animations were a bit stiff and didn't provide the weight it needed for some of the weapons. Insanely great both vfx and sfx work though. Very impressed indeed
Only in Warhammer 40k you get away with combining trench warfare , bajonet & sword fights , high tech lasers , tanks, and spaceships .All joined in one big messy battle ;)
Genuine chills when they introduced the astartes .....so many of them marching ......it really upped and compounded the danger and task faced by the loyal guard. Brilliant work, love the whole idea of making out the simple scouting knights as a big threat ...usually they lose their threat when seen with the larger knights.Youve done a great job showcasing their menace.
I've never seen Arma be so convincly not Arma, while I figured it out as soon as I saw character animations as some of them are very uniquely tied to Arma, I was truly questioning if this was done in Arma or a Professional Animation software for a minute there, FANTASTIC job.
At one point I found myself questioning whether or not it was Arma or just a similar animation style, then I realised I was missing the fantastic action!
Yeah the only way I figured out it was ArmA was some very specific medic animations and the part when the tank blew up. Apart from that its very hard to tell.
In the audiobooks, Tanith troops have a Welsh accent, and all those odd cultural terms lacking English vowels like cwlwhl and Huhlhwch are plainly meant to make us think of Welsh.

Brilliantly voiced. I loved the Armigier fight, it's easy to think of them as just the smallest knights but you managed to make it clear that they're a huge (and terrifying) problem for infantry. Can't wait for part 2!
The aerial views of the ships prowling low orbit and the squadrons of Valkyries and vultures flying over the destroyed city looked _REALLY_ good. Top notch work 😎🤯
Holy this is awesome. Finally some fullscale WAR in Warhammer^^. So happy that you choose Cadia and the Bloodpakt. Great Voices. Exciting. Good Story. Just well done, well done. !The Emperor protects!
I love the interplay. Usually in these kinds of shorts you first have one team dominating and then the next one. This is a far more varied way of showing people winning and losing.
wonderfully done job! If you tweak the effects and add more varied animations, it will be great! At some points it feels like real people were filming there @@MoskoniDesign
What I really love about this is the lack of space marines. Don’t get me wrong. I love those angels of death, but most animations I see use them a lot. While they’re really cool in lore and animation, there’s so much more to 40k than just the space marines (though 30k is mostly space marines lol). Seriously amazing work. Can’t wait to see more
I am unashamedly rooting for Chaos because you really showed me my two favorite Chaos factions. The Blood Pact working hand in hand with The Iron Warriors? Jeez talk about a dream team, logical sensible Chaos Cultists who worship Khorne and thrive in combat due to their iron discipline and the Iron Warriors, enough said.
"Focus on the objective Goddammir!" Oooppp, someone's getting taken out for Heresy when this is done, you aren't supposed to acknowledge anyone but the Emperor
There were a couple of language point that I thought were off. this and no blessings before launching, no mention that the mission was a holy one etc. The dialogue has a lot less Faith based material than other works. really good overall though.
@@jim4695 Might be an oversight by the script writer, might be a result of them being Kasrkin and therefore harder motherfuckers. Minor issues either way
When GW realizes how much better people like you are at loving their own franchise, maybe they will change for the better. You are the embodiment of the true passion and love for this world the community feels.
Holy moly! I see they are using archeotech like MG42-s as well! Awesome job friends! At the end are those MK III and MK V helmets? Amazing focus on the details!
May wind up with more to this comment as im only half way in but a thing I greatly love already is that you depict multiple facets of combat here. Not just the changing and shooting as often seen, but also the carrying out of casualties, communication, and even combat medics doing work under fire (a particularly awesome detail to me). Well done!
Holy Emperor! It needs more views! That end with the marching Iron Warriors means one thing - the guardsmen without some back up are screwed. Entire batalion of Traitor Marines with tanks and light Chaos Knights. Not to mention their warship. It's gonna be a hell of fight in part 2. I feel it. End realism of this is cool as well. And a scale.
This was such a treat to watch I'm glad it popped up in my recommended! I would love to see how the clash between the guard and the chaos forces with knights would unfold while the karskin finish the job
This is just magnificent. The lighting, SFX, voice acting, choreography, and settings make everything that much better. We can tell that there was love and dedication put into this. Ave imperator brother
Man I was hoping this was going to feature Blood Pact as main characters... No one ever makes fan animation about chaos.. Anyways good job on this one!
Its a pity, always catering to imperium fanbois... Although this is well made and both sides act like real soldiers and not like idiots with guns... Gonna follow this one
@@joseestevezhernandez558 Both sides are actually idiots with guns pretending to be soldiers, guardsmen are just charging through enemy defensive line without cover, fire suppression, or trench... And then resorted to melee fighting once they got close enough after a bunch of them dying in a meat grinder, but this is just a fan made animation after all. It's all about the rule of cool.
Loved the cinematic angles as well as the music and sound effects. You can tell a lot of work and love went into this. Neat to find animations like this on youtube still.
Me: "Send forth all Iron Warrior legions. Do not stop the attack until the enemy is routed. Strike out from every direction and slay them all." Chaos Sergeant: "What of the commander of the Loyalists." Me: "I will wait till the next Episode."
Fantastic work. There's a few minor issues but this was very engaging and will be remembered as one of the best 40k fan animations. Im very excited to see your future work.
This is absolutely fantastic. Please continue this series. This is what 40k is like from the lore put to screen. If GW takes this down this community will outrage. Keep up the good work. Inspire others to make content like this.
Dude that is brutal, the best fanmade i've ever seen since project Astartes... the sound FX and the voice acting are just supreme, i would believe that's a cutsecne from a videogame indeed. Keep it up!!! Any clue on when part two is going to drop?
I really liked how you included the armiger in there. So far I've only seen them in snippets of Broken Lance, and they're my favorite tabletop unit. I'm glad you featured one.
6/10. Good: Nailed the scale that 40k aims for. Art direction is appropriately gritty. Voice acting is good, music is great. Story is very appropriate Bad: Most of the issues with this video are rooted in the technical ability of the creator(s). I am not mocking them, let me be clear. Especially given the number of character models, this is quite an achievement. Examples of this include the deployment of the Armiger which is implied to come from orbit but no landing is shown, or even a falling object. The sound design for the weapons lacks diversity or appropriate impact. Overall I'm happy to have watched the video, and I hope the person(s) behind it continue to do so and improve their work.
Can’t believe this level of animation that in my opinion almost surpasses licensed GW content was made in Arma 3 and with CGI, that’s insane, dude you’re a genius! We need Part 2 ASAP!!
Amazing! Crisp visuals and, for once, clear and intelligible audio! I can make out dialogue. Love it! This more than anything is what keeps Warhammer relevant and contemporary.
0:58 I LOVE that announcer coming over the vox intercom sounding off words of encouragement for the proud guardsmen in preparation for their mission! It reminds me of when Sgt. Johnson from Halo would always pep talk his men or whoever he was talking to just before a mission or assignment.
Yeah a Guardsman game based on Tempestus Scions would be bonkers. You're still a badass who can chew through Chaos cultists and Guardsman, but stuff like Chaos Marines and other corrupted Chaos stuff is kind of like Cosmic horror to even a Scion. Yeah like give me a old CoD or Battlefield type game but with all the brutality and grimdark of 40K. The premise of this video would make a good game itself
Impatiently waiting for the next episode! That was a blast! I like that you aimed for larger scale battle scenes to show how hectic the front lines can get! 💪
A huge thank you going out to all the wonderful people involved in bringing the 40k universe to life in this film. Very well done! I can't wait to see more.

The aerial views of the ships prowling low orbit and the squadrons of Valkyries and vultures flying over the destroyed city looked _REALLY_ good. Top notch work 😎🤯
It looks good. Not sure about the ships jumping into low orbit though
This is literally the coolest thing I've seen in like...2 years.
I like this
Edit: the color palette is a lot brighter than most fan made media and it adds energy to the animation.
Thanks a lot ! I have a big Astra Militarum Project stuck in limbo and you just gave me an inspiration boost.
I look forward to seeing it!
fantastic
OH HELL YEAH JANOVICH
Holy this is awesome.
Finally some fullscale WAR in Warhammer^^.
So happy that you choose Cadia and the Bloodpakt.
Great Voices.
Exciting.
Good Story.
Just well done, well done.
!The Emperor protects!
Old school stormies! My favorites. Love that old progenium armor
I love the interplay. Usually in these kinds of shorts you first have one team dominating and then the next one. This is a far more varied way of showing people winning and losing.
Awesome to see the 553rd in this, glad you enjoyed the gear we have. Beautiful work with the animation.
Much obliged and many thanks!
wonderfully done job!
If you tweak the effects and add more varied animations, it will be great!
At some points it feels like real people were filming there

What I really love about this is the lack of space marines. Don’t get me wrong. I love those angels of death, but most animations I see use them a lot. While they’re really cool in lore and animation, there’s so much more to 40k than just the space marines (though 30k is mostly space marines lol). Seriously amazing work. Can’t wait to see more
Gotta love the cultist rocking those mg-42 XD
The weapon of bad guys until the end of time
One of them even had an MG34.

@@db-ur6tdwhite people lol
@@db-ur6td Both are bad.
I am unashamedly rooting for Chaos because you really showed me my two favorite Chaos factions.
The Blood Pact working hand in hand with The Iron Warriors? Jeez talk about a dream team, logical sensible Chaos Cultists who worship Khorne and thrive in combat due to their iron discipline and the Iron Warriors, enough said.
YEEEESS FUCK YEAH CHAOS!!! I really happy to see Blood Pact hope they win because we not even ONCE had a fan animation about Chaos.
Yep. You're on the list.
All chaos is good for is target practice and dissection via chain sword. 😂
Only through chaos mankind can gain the strength cast off the lies of the false emperor and reach its true potential.
"Logical sensible Chaos Cultists that worship Khorne" you really don't see any issues with that statement 😂😂?
Emperor bless you for this magnificent gem.
Thank you...
You know it will be good if A Vox in the Void is in it. Really enjoyed it. Good pace, great animation, cool scenes. Cant wait for part 2.
Man you absolutely NAILED the frantic combat of a guardsman, like holy shit well done!
Such an amazing fan project, I haven't seen one this good in quite some time, keep it up!
"Focus on the objective Goddammir!"
Oooppp, someone's getting taken out for Heresy when this is done, you aren't supposed to acknowledge anyone but the Emperor
Focus on the objective, godemperordamnit
God in reference to the God Emperor, clearly. There is only one god, after all, and he sits upon the Golden Throne on Holy Terra.
There were a couple of language point that I thought were off. this and no blessings before launching, no mention that the mission was a holy one etc. The dialogue has a lot less Faith based material than other works. really good overall though.
@@jim4695 Might be an oversight by the script writer, might be a result of them being Kasrkin and therefore harder motherfuckers.
Minor issues either way
Someone quick! Get this backed-up!
Incredible work. Can't wait to see more!
Excellent work! One of the best 40k short films I've seen. Looking forward to the next one!
When GW realizes how much better people like you are at loving their own franchise, maybe they will change for the better. You are the embodiment of the true passion and love for this world the community feels.
GW doesn't care.
It's run by old guard that only ever think about profit margins going up.
@@techpriest6962 IRL Administratum
That, orrrr they'll try and take it down
@@techpriest6962 no, no. You've got that arse about face. The Old Guard gave a shit. The new guard for GW only care about profits
@@anerexicpig720Unfortunately, this is INFINITELY more likely.
Another beautiful and amazing Warhammer 40k animation to watch. Awesome. That ending soundtrack was some amazing orchestral suspense build up music
Bro, as a Guard fanatic I gotta say this is art. Love this. If you ever did a Steel Legion short I might actually bust.
Holy moly! I see they are using archeotech like MG42-s as well! Awesome job friends! At the end are those MK III and MK V helmets? Amazing focus on the details!
Stubbers are cheap and plentiful after all
MG3s
42s haven't been around in years and no, they're not the same no matter how similar they look.
Best thing since Astartes. This needs to be shared everywhere.
Carry the Emperor´s will as your torch, with it destroy the shadows
The "Dark Age Astartes | Morningstar" was awesome too.
@@FlexStudioPLyeah mourningstar was sick even tho it wasn’t 40k
@@FlexStudioPLdon’t forget the sodaz saga
May wind up with more to this comment as im only half way in but a thing I greatly love already is that you depict multiple facets of combat here. Not just the changing and shooting as often seen, but also the carrying out of casualties, communication, and even combat medics doing work under fire (a particularly awesome detail to me). Well done!
Holy Emperor! It needs more views! That end with the marching Iron Warriors means one thing - the guardsmen without some back up are screwed. Entire batalion of Traitor Marines with tanks and light Chaos Knights. Not to mention their warship. It's gonna be a hell of fight in part 2. I feel it. End realism of this is cool as well. And a scale.
This was such a treat to watch I'm glad it popped up in my recommended! I would love to see how the clash between the guard and the chaos forces with knights would unfold while the karskin finish the job
Bravo 👏. I’m loving the scale of the conflict, 100+ drops ships in the background is the icing on the cake.
Vox in the Void, YES, LET'S GO!!!
Yet another fan-made unofficial project showing Games Workshop how it's done. Amazing work, can't wait to see more
This is just magnificent. The lighting, SFX, voice acting, choreography, and settings make everything that much better. We can tell that there was love and dedication put into this.
Ave imperator brother
This 11:45 video was better then every episode of Hammer and Bolter put out by Warhammer +
Probably why they don't like fan art. They make content for profit whilest fan made content is for pasion. Can't compete.
I appreciate that both sides are portrayed as competent, surprisingly rare to see in 40k animation.
Man I was hoping this was going to feature Blood Pact as main characters... No one ever makes fan animation about chaos.. Anyways good job on this one!
Its a pity, always catering to imperium fanbois... Although this is well made and both sides act like real soldiers and not like idiots with guns...
Gonna follow this one
@@joseestevezhernandez558 Both sides are actually idiots with guns pretending to be soldiers, guardsmen are just charging through enemy defensive line without cover, fire suppression, or trench... And then resorted to melee fighting once they got close enough after a bunch of them dying in a meat grinder, but this is just a fan made animation after all. It's all about the rule of cool.
This is why Warhammer is truly magnificent 💪🗿
Loved the cinematic angles as well as the music and sound effects. You can tell a lot of work and love went into this. Neat to find animations like this on youtube still.
Best 40k fanfilm I’ve seen since Astartes. I need a full series or film of this, outstanding work!
Me: "Send forth all Iron Warrior legions. Do not stop the attack until the enemy is routed. Strike out from every direction and slay them all."
Chaos Sergeant: "What of the commander of the Loyalists."
Me: "I will wait till the next Episode."
I read your comment in the Witch King of Agmar’s voice
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Fantastic work. There's a few minor issues but this was very engaging and will be remembered as one of the best 40k fan animations. Im very excited to see your future work.
this is so well made
This is absolutely fantastic. Please continue this series.
This is what 40k is like from the lore put to screen.
If GW takes this down this community will outrage.
Keep up the good work.
Inspire others to make content like this.
Absolutely brilliant
Dude that is brutal, the best fanmade i've ever seen since project Astartes... the sound FX and the voice acting are just supreme, i would believe that's a cutsecne from a videogame indeed. Keep it up!!! Any clue on when part two is going to drop?
I really liked how you included the armiger in there. So far I've only seen them in snippets of Broken Lance, and they're my favorite tabletop unit. I'm glad you featured one.
6/10. Good: Nailed the scale that 40k aims for. Art direction is appropriately gritty. Voice acting is good, music is great. Story is very appropriate
Bad: Most of the issues with this video are rooted in the technical ability of the creator(s). I am not mocking them, let me be clear. Especially given the number of character models, this is quite an achievement. Examples of this include the deployment of the Armiger which is implied to come from orbit but no landing is shown, or even a falling object. The sound design for the weapons lacks diversity or appropriate impact. Overall I'm happy to have watched the video, and I hope the person(s) behind it continue to do so and improve their work.
Arma3 walking animation lmao
Honestly this was great. You can tell some passion went into this. Can't wait for part 2
Absolutely amazing, the music matches the scene of events. Once again, great job, putting this together.
Can’t believe this level of animation that in my opinion almost surpasses licensed GW content was made in Arma 3 and with CGI, that’s insane, dude you’re a genius! We need Part 2 ASAP!!
Amazing! Crisp visuals and, for once, clear and intelligible audio! I can make out dialogue. Love it! This more than anything is what keeps Warhammer relevant and contemporary.
Grafics, storyline, and everything here are completely stunning! Amazing job well done!
That frissure VFX triggered some new kind of fear in me, it's awe inspiring
I appreciate that the Guard is treated as an actual military force rather than meme cannon fodder
Part two? Please, pretty please? Amazing work, I am just getting into the world that is 40K and this video popped up. Cant wait for the next segment!
YO, this sh*t is Fire. I had no idea what this was, then all of a sudden...DEEP rumbles and Quality Voiceovers, I'm impressed.
0:58 I LOVE that announcer coming over the vox intercom sounding off words of encouragement for the proud guardsmen in preparation for their mission! It reminds me of when Sgt. Johnson from Halo would always pep talk his men or whoever he was talking to just before a mission or assignment.
This just makes me want a game like Space Marine, but for the Guard instead. That would be incredible
Yeah a Guardsman game based on Tempestus Scions would be bonkers. You're still a badass who can chew through Chaos cultists and Guardsman, but stuff like Chaos Marines and other corrupted Chaos stuff is kind of like Cosmic horror to even a Scion. Yeah like give me a old CoD or Battlefield type game but with all the brutality and grimdark of 40K. The premise of this video would make a good game itself
Impatiently waiting for the next episode! That was a blast! I like that you aimed for larger scale battle scenes to show how hectic the front lines can get! 💪
I will say, the voice acting is really good, even the dialogue. good job
Fantastic video. I can't wait for the next.
The forces of chaos are surprisingly well organized.
A huge thank you going out to all the wonderful people involved in bringing the 40k universe to life in this film. Very well done! I can't wait to see more.
I very much appreciate the Chaos speech at the closing moments. Nicely written and employed.
Nice to hear that Scotland is still around in 40000
Glad to see Perty's OSHA boys having some screen time, finest of the renegade legions.
