Honda Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 You watched the last one in order Honda?! Don't be silly, anyone can do that. I started at minute 27:35, then jumped back to 11:53 before heading over to the credits, then starting around 00:07.

Sword Brother Adelard Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 One thing I don't get, is why Oberon had tracks? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332430-helsreach-video/page/13/#findComment-5247556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Because its an ordinatus? They have tracks.

Kelborn Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 This.... *hush Kel, it is ok* ...is the glorious end of a journey I'll forever be grateful to have witnessed it from the beginning to the end. :cry: It was exactly like I first read Helsreach back in the days, when the world seemed ok and I just started to dig into this wonderous franchise known as Warhammer 40K. The style is unique in its own. Astartes got a near perfect animations, etc. but this...THIS is perfection in its own way. The way the style changed and became more clear the more tensed up the war got. The use of color, the addition of gold to the black/white armor. I cannot wait until my boy is old enough to watch this one. It is an example of what one can achieve, if he's willing. And in giving us this masterpiece, he was well-deserved rewarded, as well. Thank you, Richard. For Helsreach! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332430-helsreach-video/page/13/#findComment-5247587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Because its an ordinatus? They have tracks. I don't recall any case of them being described ever as not having them Except Oberon, it was specifically described by Jurisian as having suspensor lift technology, that alone made it the most valuable piece of equipment on the planet, nova cannon notwithstanding. (In fact, the little bit of vox from Jurisian in the video mentions the suspensor lift.)

Marshal Reinhard Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I have shamed my chapter by not remembering this tidbit... Would the suspensor lift technology neccessarily be its mode of transportation though, or is it just a detail for the cannon to say, keep its structurual integrity because its so huge?

Sword Brother Adelard Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 If it is, it's stretching the description a bit far. I imagine it would help with recoil! You'd need to ensure there was nothing in front or behind you when you fire a Nova Cannon in Atmo.

Marshal Reinhard Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Well my point is, it having "suspensor lift technology" might not neccessarily rule out it having tracks since we have no real description of what that is? But it's a valid question nontheless Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332430-helsreach-video/page/13/#findComment-5247668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I thought it pretty clear, the description exactly is "Jurisian knew [these] were the gravitational suspensor generators, shielded behind yet more armour plating. Anti-gravitational technology on such a scale was no longer heard of in the Imperium, except for the deployment of war machines of this calibre. These generators made them the most precious thing on the entire planet, bar nothing." Later, when he turns it on it says "In the drive section, Jurisian lurched in his seat. he hadn't jolted forward, but up. Five metres up." It's nothing to detract from the rest of the story, but it bugged me. I loved the idea of a muhassive hover tank bearing the sawn-off shotgun of void weaponry.

Kontakt Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Let's not go crazy over the finer details. It is probably much harder to get/make a model for a hovering version of something you could more easily get a model for. In my mind, it was hovering, It was simply easier to portray the vehicle as tracked.

SWORD BROTHER RYAN Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Dear Richard Boylan, (If you are reading this) My brothers hit some of the fine details of the end of this series, and cannot be blamed for it. We, as you already know, are a passionate bunch to our Chapter and lore. I, however, will not nit-pick the details. What I will do is salute this conclusion to your work in bringing this story to life for all to actually see. For a lot of people, they don't understand why the lore of 40k speaks to us in the way that it does, and I'm sure this series is the "ah-ha!" moment for many. The Black Templars are done proud by your work. I, for one, love the way you transitioned back to the sketch style at the beginning and end, lending credence to my view that all is black and white until battle sharpens the senses to full color and clarity. I don't think it could be visualized any better. I have both looked forward to and dreaded this moment when it was concluded. Even though I have read the story many times, I couldn't wait to see the end with more than my imagination (vivid as it is). I dreaded it because I knew there would be no more when it was done. So, it is bittersweet to see the end. But that is war. There will be other battles to fight in the future, but you always remember your first engagement with vivid clarity. I, we all, look forward to your next work as you move on with GW's blessing (and support?) in what is sure to be another great series illustrating this universe that we all hold such passion for. You have come a long way over the course of this story, and as I've seen your Q&A over the holidays, I look forward to the future of the visualization of the 40k stories, whether they are works like another lore story or entirely original. We all know it will be exceptional. You have developed a following with us. Speaking for myself, I will eagerly await what is in store next. Best of luck, Richard. -Ryan Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332430-helsreach-video/page/13/#findComment-5247886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyliadan Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 After re-watching the episode quite a few times, I must say that Priamu's death hit me the hardest. Such a nasty way to go (also, as a tanker, I deeply relate to this).

Honda Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 @SBR: That is one of the more eloquent statements I've ever read. Well done brother. And to Richard Boylan, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your efforts, blood, sweat, and tears. My offer still stands, if you ever get to my part of Texas, there is a steak here with your name on it. Until the end.

Acebaur Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 With regards to the Ordinatus Armageddon, for what it's worth the original Epic mini had tracks as well, so it was cannon at some point that it had tracks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332430-helsreach-video/page/13/#findComment-5248179 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolvar Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I remember when he started the series, I saw until the 3rd video. Now I've watched it again in one run. Perfect. I don't have enough words to praise it, it's just perfect. Big thanks to Richard Boylan for his hard work, this will get engraved in our minds.

Brother Lunkhead Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 An epic ending to an epic project ……. and the tie in to the original animation was perfect. What a joy to watch.

Firepower Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 The most impressive thing is that the project was actually completed. Most series like this get shut down or the creator gets bored before the conclusion I feel it all peaked at the speech on the wall, to be honest. It got a bit Michael Bay-ish as time went on. I was a touch surprised by the voice acting from time to time as well. The battle cry of No Pity, No Remorse, No Fear was sorta...calm, compared to what I expected. Still, overall a good watch, and well done. Congrats to Richard for catching GW's attention and landing a job with all this. And yes, I am impossible to please, but most of you already know this.

Kyliadan Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Brothers, I'm sharing this screenshot I took, I'm not sure we should bother Richard with this, but on the other hand I feel it's worthy of being turned into a proper wallpaper (with different sizes etc). In the meantime I'm using it because it's just dorn beautiful. https://ibb.co/SP58zYD Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332430-helsreach-video/page/13/#findComment-5251961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
