A Last Stand (Imperium vs Tyranids)

*NOTE* The original audio for this video has been replaced due to a copyright complaint. The original track was "Swords Crossed" by Klaus Badelt from the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean".

My final project for 3D Animation, a battle between the forces of the Imperium of Man and the Tyranids.

i dont think the ships look living enough and there would be hundreds of them. i love the animation though.

[AEigner]

Yeah I wanted to make it more "epic" I even modelled fighters for the battlecruiser to deploy but ran outta time. Maybe I'll go back and make a new one one of these days : )

Are Space Hulks stolen imperial ships or a VERY large breed of space dwelling Tyrannid? Because I heard on one end the space marnies attempted to "retake" a Space Hulk, and I heard another story of an assault on a space hulk's organ to stop a hive landing...

[AEigner]

Space hulks are a catch-all term for all abandoned and drifting starships from any race. Most of these ships drift through the warp or normal space for eons and collide with junk/asteroids/other hulks and become huge labirynths filled with dangers and sometimes treasure. Usually danger though - In the form of Tyranid infestations or other nasty things.

Earth is a desolate hive-ridden wasteland, there are no more majestic oceans or verdant forests, and I highly doubt there's anything breathable left in the atmosphere. That must have been a small colony already compromised by genestealers for a hiveship to even show up. Simply put, that wasn't earth.

[AEigner]

Bingo. Just 'cause it's blue doesn't mean it has to be earth. Could be some small colony out in Ultima Segmentum.

@AGrumpyPanda The leviathan hive ship is pointing the right way mate, the claws point to the back, with the weapon nascells on the front.

[Pooknottin]

@AGrumpyPanda I mean the specific ship called the leviathan. It is not facing the right way. I'd post links to resources proving this, but can't as YT is too prissy to let me these days.

[AGrumpyPanda]

@Pooknottin If by the leviathan you mean any of the tyranid ships, they're all facing the right way.

[Pooknottin]

@AGrumpyPanda Yes it is. I'd advise looking at all the artwork and models of the leviathan.

[AGrumpyPanda]

@Pooknottin It's not.

[gaintrobotsrulez]

@keithsimonh i thought earth was terra and if earth was then the massive home fleet of a few thousand ships would be crappy then

[Tonkpils6969]

@Dinobot2468 yeh from the novels i read they sound more insectay than what was shown here. not bad animation though.

[EIN771]

not bad at all! you have some good skills

[WoodenBokken]

Not bad, but the "Swords crossed" piece is a fast paced song, this in it's current form doesn't seem to fit that much

[HiBissKuss]

what is the titel of the piano piece?
