That teaser trailer was a balls to the wall adrenaline fueled thrill ride from start to finish.

That teaser was just... wow. I don't know what to say to that. Where do I reserve my ticket?

Critically_Hit · « **Reply #42 on:** May 31, 2010, 02:06:06 AM »

I'm ehm, well, I guess I expected more.

Made me raise my eyebrow; So ultramarines are better than any other space marines then? I'll still get the movie, but the trailer thing didn't do it for me.

Honestly guys, most teaset trailers tend not really show the film of at all but simply showcase the fact the film has been made and progress is underway. I thought the voice over was good and the CGI looked fine to me, though I never expected it to be anywhere near as good as LoTR as that had a way bigger budget.

I only have one single niggle with the entire fil content wise and that is that the captain in this film is of the ultramarines 2nd company, which led me to say hang on a second, cato sicarius is 2nd company, and for all we know he is still alive and kicking, does this mean that the film is set before macragge, or just that they're ignoring some of the fluff?

Rakuall · « **Reply #45 on:** May 31, 2010, 09:48:58 AM »

how did you figure he was a captain? he could be a sarge.

Captain severus of the ultramarines 2nd company, its in the who will be playing what section I think, as well as on the mock up photos

I'm actually not satisfied with the few seconds of teasing. The marine looks way too much like a cheap videogame version. I would expect an animated 40k movie to be top quality.

Then again it's just a teaser, I just hate these, they don't show much of the movie anyway.

The Ecclesiarch · « **Reply #48 on:** May 31, 2010, 05:37:22 PM »

Well for the most part i have been pretty satisfied with the 40k animation thats been made for video games like Dawn of War (with regards to the intro's).
If i get a movie that has a decent story line to match that level of animation il be happy.

That is a very good explanation, nesbit_bub, if you ignore the fact that all of the models do show the teeth spinning thumb to fingers. However, the particular picture in question does show the teeth neutrally positioned, so the teeth could be assumed to move in whichever direction you want them to.

Correct me if im wrong but according to Dan Abnetts fluff Chainswords have a directional control in fact he goes quite deep when describing the chainswords duel between Gaunt and Decius stating that the skill is knowing when to change the direction and speed to bounce away your opponants chainsword

umm isn't the skull/aquilla thing on the chest plate of the armor supposed to be raised not painted on the armor.

I'm surprised that so many people are taking to hating the teaser when it is just a teaser! As has been said it is just to let you know that progress is being made! It isn't a proper trailer so don't expect anything fancy.

As for all the people complaining that they are expecting top drawer material, it isn't a major hollywood motion picture, it is probably going to be no longer than 60 minutes and its from a smaller company, most likely straight to DVD. Definitely not a top drawer production.

Be happy with what you are getting! It isn't the Blood Quest crap.

I'm mega excited to be honest. The Trailer really was a tease.

Looks great!

Ultramarines Teaser

re: ammo casings

Not only do bolters have ejection ports (as has previously been noted), some of the old fluff used to talk about how they have ejection ports on both sides of the weapon, as well as a sensor array that ensures casings are always ejected away from the marine holding the weapon, thus allowing them to be weilded in either hand. I also seem to recall something like the 2-stage propulsion suggested above... IIRC, it was described as a subsonic/low-velocity initial charge, and the rocket propulsion was supposed to kick in 2-3 meters out from the weapon barrel, which was supposed to make it easier to aim on full auto by allowing you to visually track the trajectory initially, without introducing long travel time at higher ranges.

I'm pretty sure this info was in this. The bindings on them were horrible and mine long since fell apart completely, but I still have the box (the one with this art).

On a more recent note, many CSM bolters are fed by ammo belts rather than magazines. I'm pretty sure that wouldn't work with caseless ammo.

I hate to be a fanboy, but:

Still no appreciation for the guardsmen.... tisk.

We never get appreciated at all, but marines are the big market.

Well I viewed it as the sergent narrating so it makes sense a ultramarine would see themselves as the best.
