I didn't really mean it as a criticism, just that the necron voice overs followed by green lightning turning the orks into little splatters made me chuckle.

It was a lot of fun definitely. If I'd have changed anything, I would probably have worked the objectives in better. I couldn't really tell which way the battle was turning without knowing what the objectives were.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

Yeah, some description of the objectives (or for extra win, a reason WHY they're fighting) would have been nicer

Cool, Thanks. I looked at trying to put the objective thing using the youtube editor, but it isn't very accurate (it would be up for many seconds after the pictures had gone by). So next time I'll put them in the before I post the video.

I'll try and put the army lists in the video description. Nice idea.

No one in our group plays Eldar that i am aware of...

I do have SOB though.

I'm not sure if I'm up for the SOB voice overs though. We may have to hire a voice actress. Otherwise it might get a little creepy/awkward...

Very nice!! The 'Crons had the orks on the ropes for awhile but the MegaNobz held!!!

I don't think you need to put up an army list but point totals would be nice.

also Gutrend started to sound like Freddy Kruger at the end, disturbing and hilarious!! "Shoot me again, I ain't dead yet"

I have used this style for Warmachine, so I think you can use it for any system. Maybe a Space Hulk one in the future...

Point totals and army lists have now been added to the description. Thanks to everyone who sent me the idea.

"Shoot me again I ain't dead" yet is actually a quote from a Metallica song. I was itching to use it and the situation came up!

big mek crazygit wrote:how did you make that video? i got inspired to make my own!


I took photos of the game. For each movement, each shot and each close combat attack I took at least 2 pics (Before and After from exactly the same camera position) and used them to meld the action together. I used Gimpshop to add the effects to the pictures, Windows Movie Maker to edit the pictures together, and CoolEdit 2000 to edit the sound (you might be able to use Audacity, but I've never tried) . The key is getting the timing from the video to sync up the sound. Edit the sound together separately, save it and add it into the Movie maker project.You can then adjust the pictures as necessary to match the sound again. At first there's a lot of trial and error, but after a while you get the hang of it.
