Nephaston Posted yesterday at 03:25 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:25 PM Youtube doesn't play nice at work right now, but seeing as this is cartoony ( at least judging by the thumbnail) it's either gonna be a nice little funny video, or another proof at the slow erosion of the grim dark super serious hobby by the invisible hand of... someone, idk. 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388621-40000-ways-to-die-animation/#findComment-6190208 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovemberIX Posted yesterday at 03:54 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:54 PM Ha, that was stupidly cute, the tactical rock bit actually made me laugh. It's nice to see 40K taking itself a less serious. 1 7 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388621-40000-ways-to-die-animation/#findComment-6190212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkhorse0607 Posted yesterday at 03:56 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:56 PM Eh, it's fine. Not for me, but then again neither is something like Space King which is popular now too (or text to speech, never loved that either). The best part was the Alpha Legion winning Don't really see any harm in it 1 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388621-40000-ways-to-die-animation/#findComment-6190213 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoriyaSchism Posted yesterday at 04:09 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:09 PM Self-referential jokes about tactical rocks in all their marketing material and blog posts are not that funny when they keep doing it on their sculpts over and over again. 2 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388621-40000-ways-to-die-animation/#findComment-6190216 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago Flashgitz already did pretty much the same but better about years ago with Warhammer 40k: Looney Tunes edition*. This just reads as a bad corporate copy of their work which is a bit odd given they are doing the same to GW with Space King*. It's almost getting to the cringe stage where major brands start dissing each other on X. GW seem hell bent on making me spend my money elsewhere. *(No way I am linking those on the B&C ) And just in case anyone thinks I am an old fuddy duddy stick in the mud search my Cosmic Space Knights (...of Doom!) here on the B&C, I was waaaay ahead of the curve. 2 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388621-40000-ways-to-die-animation/#findComment-6190223 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Rohr Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago I kind of miss when we bullied the kids trying to turn 40K into a lolcow meme. 3 2 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388621-40000-ways-to-die-animation/#findComment-6190225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechaMan Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago I normally hate the cutesy side of memes in the 40k fandom. The diminutive kawaii kriegsman with shovel and battle sister being a case in point. But art style aside this doesn’t really flinch from depicting the brutality of the setting, dismemberment and all. 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388621-40000-ways-to-die-animation/#findComment-6190226 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWarmaster Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Some of you need to stop taking it so seriously. I’ve cringed reading some of these comments.

Nephaston Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Got around to watching it; very charming, proportions and demeanor of the Marines reminded me a bit of the game Don't Starve. Was kinda hoping they would actually tally up to fourty thousand ways to die in a rapid but comedic mannner, but that could easily be an hour long animation. 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388621-40000-ways-to-die-animation/#findComment-6190235 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago It was entertaining - and very much in keeping with the humour of the home nation. I wouldn't be averse to seeing more of these little animations, particularly if they started parodying some of our better known fixtures; Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, Peep Show, etc. 1 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388621-40000-ways-to-die-animation/#findComment-6190242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Praetorian of Inwit Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago I actually quite enjoyed that. I can understand why it's not everyone's cup of tea.
