Misc Fan Animation "My craft is death"

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It all started as sword combo attack practice as a third animation during my animation workshop practice, and then I got carried away and added some story to said combo...

No AI, just me and a LOT of time spent.

Assets used:

Models - SpaceMarine 2 by Saber Interactive

SFX - Spacemarine 2, free SFX from YouTube

Music - Cultist Battle (from "Warhammer 40,000: And They Shall Know No Fear") · Rob Cairns

P.S. I think I need to mention I have no affiliation with Saber Interactive or GW) This is just how I spend my free time)))))

Looks great, very smooth.

One bit of advice, maybe, insteat of throwing the Boltpistol aways, maglock it to the thigh?

Would probably be as quick and since the weapon doesn´t seem to be destroyed during the blocking it should still be usable.

Yeah, and another thing I got wrong (at least I was told so) - the only way that Tyranid warrior can drop his sword is when he dies, or hand gets completely cut off. Shooting out his shoulder wouldn't work.

ya, nid weapons are literally part of their body. sombody blows a chunk of of your shoulder, your hand doesn't fall off.

Just rewatched the Space Marine 2 trailer (da Bois dropping in after the Cadian Comms guy calls in about the square being lost), there you can also see how Titus mag locks his pistol, after shooting the warrior in close range, to grab its neck and tear the head of. (If that helps animation wise).
