I'd be worried if a Bloodletter DIDN'T look weird!

I'm really looking forward to it, I hope they manage to avoid Daemon Prince chicken legs....

I have no doubt at all that this movie will be shut down, or an attempt will be made in that direction at least. Which would be a terrible shame, as the graphics of this movie is already looking superior to Ultramarines.

Hopefully though, and if the maker is doing it not for profit, it can be release onto the internet - once the cat is out of the bag, it doesn't matter how loud GW cry about it

I don't mean to be horrible, but 'in development' or 'being made'... these phrases crop up so much, it's so rare that anything is actually finished.

Ergo I contribute no enthusiasm until I actually see something, a CGI short is a pretty massive undertaking and I don't think many people see these things through...

If this movie is going to be half as good as Ultramarines was, I will definitely watch it!

What a wonderful piece of fan effort. I will be keeping a close eye on this. It has to be said GW needs to have ambition that matches it's current models in all other areas where its IP is used. There's been way too much crap.

Hear ye, hear ye!

On Friday November 11th 2011, at 11:11, the trailer for the short animation The Lord Inquisitor will finally be released! The Inquisition has chosen a sacred time indeed: II.II.II II:II

Cometh to the website of The Lord Inquisitor and witness the action, the gore, the excitement! The time has finally come! Tell your Warhammer-loving friends and see for yourself what the (approximately 2 minute long) trailer holds in store.

The Emperor be praised!

sounds promising

Is this a joke? Ultramarines was the most wasteful 90 mins in my life.

truly amazing work so far, can't wait!

Quite an achievement for a 76min movie

It takes 14 minutes to get the movie into the dvd player!

Haven't read all the pages. But I've been following The Lord Inquisitor for about 2 months now, and he has been working on this video for a year and a half. So I doubt he's going to just quit now. Anyhow, apparently the Lord Inquisitor has looked into GW and apparently they allow animations, but not live action videos about their IP. He has gone thru it on his website and whatnot, but of course if they really want to they can do something.

And he also states that GW has known about him for sometime, so I bet if they do make a move on this video. It will be in response to how popular it is, and they want to take it further.

Looking forward to the trailer! If it is anything like the clips you have shown us, we will be in for a treat!

Some clips form youtube







And also for some reason Gene Simmons?




I am quite excited for this project.

Looks 100x better than that smurfmarine 'movie' crap!

good luck old chap, i look foward to seeing the final product

I wish the absolute best of luck to you and your team on this project. To see it come to fruition would be an exceedingly satisfying experience.

Nicely Done, I loved the TH landing. Can't wait to see this when it's done.

I agree that the stills and limited video look quite snazzy and wish the makers the best of luck in getting this film done and out for release! As a side note, the Ultramarine movie stills and very small video snippets also looked pretty good while the final product wasn't.

I don't think this trailer has been posted yet...




If a single Danish guy can make this in his spare time, what possible excuse did Ultramarines have?

I think he really needs to work on his script though, the voice over is far too chunky. I shan't fault the voice acting to a massive degree as the two main media efforts by Warhammer of late (Ultramarines 'n' Space Marine) didn't exactly excel in this area themselves.

The English isn't quite right, but that's not shocking. The thing looks incredible, my sole complaint being that Grey Knights don't tend to carry around heavy bolters like that. And that's a nit pick.

really good so far, but as said, the voiceover is a tad too slowly paced and some lines could do with slight re-wording (e.g: "our worst expectations" could be "our worst fears")

The voice over does have a japanese anime dub feel to it in its pacing and vocabulary choices but I'm sure it's a hell of alot better than what I could do in German. The animation looks great though. While I agree that the grey knight with the heavy bolter is off a bit in the fluff, we don't know why he's fielding that. It could just be that he ripped off a heavy bolter from a turret and is manually firing it as a plot device.

Holy gak thats amazing. The bolter is clearly an emplacement, the one where he is carrying it looks more like a psycannon to me.

Bit strange cadences in the voicing (almost like a computer generated voice) but freaking awesome nonetheless. Cant wait for more progress on this!!

Just wow, whoever did that "movie poster" and the pictures in the gallery, that is probably one of the best CGI animations I have ever seen! GW better allow this to happen...because if it doesn't.....it would mean WAR

WOOOHHHOOO!! Im behind them 100%

Best of luck to the developers, this looks very promising.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but...

They had a budget to work within, actors to pay, animators to pay---all for a full length feature.

Trailers are fine and dandy. So are a few renders here and there.

But I can almost guarantee you that if this project were done by an individual who had a budget to work within, that trailer would have blown the whole budget simply in animating costs and paying a single voice actor.

Visually, it's amazing, outside of some awkward weapon firing recoil (waaaaaaaaaay too much recoil, at least as I perceive it. It's practically in humour territory! )

The script, however, is cringe-worthy xD

Or, rather, it sounds rather amateurish - though it's possible it's also a result of cross-language shenanigans.

It doesn't bother me as much as I thought it might, though - this is still an amazing achievement, and I'm really looking forward to it!

Can we just lay off the comments about the voices? The guy is producing this by himself and the CGI is amazing. To read comments on the voice overs makes me think, "what the hell do you want from this guy?!" If it was a studio effort then fair enough, but guys, give the bloke a break.
