He continues to portray my favorite scenes from the book and magnificently.

Being nitpicky i found the sounds to be a bit lackluster in the fighting scenes. Considering the frame in which these are made, it's still wonderful though.

Helsreach 10 is gonna be crazy. Different, but crazy. But whatever, I'm gonna shoot from the hip on this one and just make it however I please. There's like 20 more episodes to go (ish), so if you guys hate it, no harm no foul. 40K belongs to everybody. I am more than happy to balance my own twisted vision with what other people want to see. The story of Helsreach just needs to be told!
@ RichardBoylan - The work you've done is monumental. As someone who works in VFX, I applaud you at the highest level. This is just a staggering amount of work, from animation, modeling, editing... there's so many decisions one must make as a creator while still living within the world ADB painted for us. Cheers to you, and do you have a Pateron page? I'm sure there's fellow Brethren who'd show support for your efforts.

I can't help but feel the fighting in this one is...odd. Kinda awkward and slow, with some of the Orks lining up one at a time and standing still to wait for their turn to get killed. And I gotta agree with Wolfhart on the audio, too.
Nitpickery aside, carry on in the Emperor's name

I am still overjoyed to see this work done in a visual format. Having watched this early in the morning before work, I will have my ZEALOMETER pegged all day!

I cannot begin to describe how hard it is to animate a scene like this effectively without spending hundreds, yes HUNDREDS, of hours refining character rigging, keyframe animation, lighting, camera angles and adjusting minute movements that accurately convey the weight and inertia of an object such as an Orc charging at a Space Marine. Visual effects companies have legions of animators who work months tirelessly (with the assistance of fancy motion capture from trained actors) to get a couple hundred frames perfect. Don't even get me started on sound design, those dudes are voodoo witch doctors, the magic they pull off is crazy.
To do this amount of work by yourself makes Richard my personal Emperors Champion. Nitpick all you want, he's my hero.

I'm fully aware (or so i think ) that this is monstrous work for a single person to do. It was not my intention to slight Richard's efforts. If i think of the ultramarines movie, considering they had proper funding and a studio, this is a masterpiece. Guess i'm just spoiled by now

I know I'll be somewhere in line for a paddlin' from our cantankerous Chaplain for saying this, but I still LOVE the progression from sketch style to crisp and colored as the story progresses. It's AWSOME to see it unbroken in one sitting!

I feel the combined movie is nice, but the episodic style adds drama and tension due to the unique way he ends the episodes (dramatic music and cut to black screen). Each episode seems to build to a climax and then end dramatically. As a movie, It seems to lose the tension built between each shorter episode. Maybe its just me, but I like it better in separate episodes.

I think after it's all said and done it will be over 4 hours. Maybe 5.

For a while, I've been mulling over what Chapter I want to be my main focus as I dive into the hobby...
I was already thinking it for the last week or so, but this? This seals it. Black Templars all the way.
