What I don't get is how he had to go pick up the bolter to kill the guy after he punched him in the head with a freaking powerfist.

Maybe he was mocking him by using his own gun to kill him.

plus don't power fists like explode on impact with energy? maybe it was off lol all I know is it was badass!

Maybe he didn't want to dirty his purity seals.

This is awesome, I wish Ultramarines had been something like this.

Who did it? much better animation than in Ultramarines.

I have to say though, short of the really slowed Chaos Marine who didn't shoot when he had a perfect oppurtunity (I know it's supposed to add tension to the scene, but really, there was no excuse for that), the fight was really well done. Brutal and quick, as opposed to the overly long and cinematic fights that tned to just reach absurd levels of rediculousness. I really like that style (quick and dirty).

If you watch closely, the bolt pistol he uses was his own, not the Chaos Marine's. He tosses his pistol, grabs the CSM, beats the ever loving gak out of him, tosses the CSM's bolter away, and then goes back, picks up his own pistol, and then aims it at the sucker's head.

It actually fits the fluff pretty well, considering that a Space Marine wouldn't want to use a weapon that's been tainted.

I believe you are right it happened so fast I thought the chaos marine was dual wielding but now it looks like he tried to grab the space marines bolt pistol and he knocked it out of his hand.

because you hear a click noise like the bolt pistol was empty then he grabs the chaos marine.

Plastic Wax did it. It says this at the end, in the bottom corner of the screen, and in the title of the video. It's not exactly subtle.

Cue 100,000 comments saying "WHY DIDN'T GW GET THESE GUYS TO MAKE ULTRAMARINES!?!?!?" to which I say: money. These guys did the intro to Dawn of War II, and said intro probably cost more than the Ultramarines movie. These guys make nothing but awesome animation, and there's a pricetag associated with that.

I don't know that... I think it was the CSM's cockyness. He wants the "loyalist" to know he's going to get a bolter shell to his brain. Immensly funny, but cost him his life.

And powerfists are supposed to work by crushing (according to the Inquisitor rulebook, if I'm not mistaken), hence why the UM didn't blow the CSM's head off.

It did knock the living daylights out of him! I love how he just sits there wondering if it's time for school.

I was watching the embedded file and scrolled down to voice my comments before the title came up =P didnt notice the logo in the corner until just now.

That was a Crimson Fist, hence the crimson fist. To those wondering, his Powerfist was off because it'd have cost a fortune to render the gore splatter.

Ah, but where is your criticism of the Crimson Fist? He does the exact same thing for the last 6 or so seconds of the video. And note, we never hear the bolt pistol go off. Maybe the Chaos marine's buddy jumps at the Crimson Fist during his equally foolish pause...

If the powerfist isn't turned on, it's basically just a sledgehammer at the end of your hand. Would've been cool to see some awesome particle effects glowing around it though.

Just giving him (the CSM) time to think about it.

Judging by the condition of the CSM, and the motion of the Crimson Fist, at that point he probably wasn't going to kill the CSM. Probably would interrogate him.

THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED!

Slarg Likes.

He felt sorry for the CSM and wanted to give his pistol back and talk about tere differences under a nice cup of tea.

That's pretty sweet. Ultramarines should have been like that.

Oh, how I weep that this company will never be the one to create a 40k movie.

Is it just me or does that Crimson Fist look like the artwork for Pedro Kantor? (The colored one without the helmet, not the one in his codex entry).

That is exactly what i was thinking...
Also this is a perfect video IMO, in everyway. The graphics are good, the sound is good and it isn't OTT ridiculous.

Oh nice I didn't notice it pretty much is Kantor lol

I wanna make a Kantor model with two PFs now and use it as Calgar. Although be a shame to loose Kantor's original Sternguard-related rules.

That's because he hit, but didn't wound. Crap happens.

Good Animation it actually looks better then the SM movie
