W40k animations always have to do humanity dirty, just like how-they fuckd up Knights in this series even borderline bringing it to shame across the entirety of the science fiction enjoyers-was exactly how they screwed up Space Marines in all of the recent trailers and animated series. All of that boasting about them being the pinnacle of a human being don’t mean jack shlt when everytime they’re on screen, they just do a tactic-less Kriegers suicidal idiotic charge while their supposedly chonky heavy adamantium plated ceramite layered power armor somehow will always be easily slashed by literally anything on screen like they’re made of wet paper. EXCEPT for the fanmade animations specifically, so this just shows that non of the people in GW calling the shots and writers for these series knows fk all about it. This is why I will always be convinced that all of the fan animators they’ve been hiring, were only hired as a way to shut the community up because the true alternative to that would be a law suit and a cease and desist order, which would definitely anger the community. Its that typical corporate deal of “take it, there’s nothing in it for you to reject the deal”

I just think that the Imperial knights were going out to to meet, the swarm of Nurgle. 3:55 Also when the knights warden was first encountering, the Knight Abominatus was the coolest. 4:40 what a mark of honor to pilot.

Right around 23:25 that’s the same female tech priest that was in one of the previous episodes where she turns an imperial guardsman into one of her servitor isn’t it? Either that or they just used the same art they used for that character as a filler in this episode but it was a cool catch nonetheless

Hold a genetic "lottery" with the babies of the planet, find the single most genetically strong person with the highest machine spirit compatibility. Announce that the winner of this lottery is going to be adopted into the royal family, marry into another knight house with that adopted heir. Boom no curse and two Great Knight Houses are bonded in marriage in the light of The Emperor. The new genes would strengthen both Houses and the future of the combined House.

Reading the Siege of Terra series now and this was awesome after reading Mortis

I am going to sound like the biggest nerd but the Dominus chassis is neither the largest nor rarest knight chassis, after that we have the cerastus the ones on the tapestry in the beginning, after that is the Acastus, rivaling the warhound in size. Of the two the Acastus is,like titans, ridiculously rare and very few knight houses still have them after the Horus heresy.

Amazing animation so cool to see so many knight class mechs just Duke it out in a brawl

I going to be honest, the king was kinda in the right here. I mean he was literally murdered by his sister "for his own good". His sister then took the throne, set up her sons to take the throne and then banished the daugher of the king. The king whilst dying made a pact with nurgle trading his soul for the ability to take revenge on his sister and her house, a pact nurgle was all to happy to oblige. Meanwhile his sister was trying to delude herself into thinking she was in the right whilst she was very obiously under the thrall of nurgle and allowning their world to be overrun. It short, it hamlet but the king comes back from the dead with an army to kill Claudius.
