Hey everyone. So I hope it's ok to post videos I made to this area of the forum. I made a parody of GW's latest "formations for 40k" announcement video, with a little nod to EPIC and specialist games thrown in.

Let me know what you think and if there's anything I can improve for next time. This is my first animation I've done in a long time.

Here it is:

Bwahahahaha thats awesome!

I havent played 40k, but I have 2nd ed and 6th, and for the most part was really impressed with 6th, especially the DV set, but i quickly learned to hate the dumbass rolling for assault distance. So gosh darned dumb.

Anyway, not a hardcore player, but I hear by most of those who play the game alot that it is yet broken already again. Its amazing, 6 editions and they still cant get it right.

I'm nit familiar with the source you're parodying so it might be nice to link to the original. Regardless, nice creation!!

Wasn't sure about this after the first 30 seconds but had a couple of laugh out louds by the end!!

I hate to say it but 7th sounds more playable at least, despite the "unless you play unbound" caveat...

Oops! I had included the original in my youtube comments, but not here. Here you go jimmyzimms:

@KTG17 Thanks! I honestly I really been moving away from it for years now. I sold off some of my well painted models and have only kept my imperial guard out of my three armies. I haven't played a game since the Assault on Black reach edition. I think it's why I've been missing 6mm games and EPIC more and more lately, as I know it's the only way I want to play the 40k universe anymore.

I think this announcement is for the 7th edition. Such a shame they can't even stick it out with an edition for three years.


@Alf O'Mega. Thanks you for the feedback. I was worried the start was a bit slow, so I'll definitely keep it in mind for the next time.
Despite how scathing the video was, I agree. 7th does sound more playable. I just hope people realise that unbound is actually "house rules 40k".

The unbound nid army had me laughing. Inspired. Also kudos for some inclusion of a few items of my favorite artwork (my little pony astartes, what's not to love?) and my favorite 40k army of all time, the happy pink necrons.

I see that JJ is working from the inside to bring Epic back as the only 40k game system.

Thanks jimmysimms. I tried to fit in as many visual gags as possible when "Jervey Johnstone" was not interesting enough. I spent a little bit too much time writing fake rules for just two pictures. Glad you liked it.

I also love those armies that people make and draw that are cutsey and fun. I met the guy who owns the "pretty marines" army, which is really similar to that Necron army. It was beautiful, and a lot of fun to play against.

TinyTim, I wish.
