Astartes - Warhammer 40k Cinematic

[Captroop]

One of the most badass military sci-fi films I've ever seen. Being released in installments every few months on YouTube, and I hope bringing it to the attention of a new audience here. It's basically the passion project of one guy, and the quality of the animation and action is just amazing. Mainly sharing for @Harbingers because if you're waiting for a Warhammer 40k movie, this is about the best we could ever hope for.

I'll also tag @PhillyB here, because there's some amazing shot composition, visual storytelling and editing here that any filmmaker could benefit from seeing.

My buddy was freaking out this morning because of the Total War Warhammer III cinematic. I myself have never played a game in the 40K universe.

It is pretty awesome to see Kislev fully fleshed out.

Great series. I played a lot of Warhammer 40K on tabletop back 20+ years ago. It was a lot of fun but just too much to keep up with once wife and kids came along.

I never got into the table top, but I can absolutely fall into the setting.  I've found myself getting sucked into lore videos and wiki holes for far too long to be productive!

It's a very interesting setting!

If you want a really good entry to 40k games try Space Marine. It's not that dated by today's standards but it's really fun.

Damn! Games Workshop recruited him. Astartes is now an official Warhammer property. Good for him!

They actually have stand-alone box games that can be played Co-Op or single player: Warhammer Quest: Black Stone Fortress and Warhammer Quest: Cursed City.

You can still find Cursed City at certain local retailers.
