This Space Marine Footage Feels Like A Punch In The Face

We were tipped this trailer earlier today, which looks like it serves as a promo reel for Australian CG studio Plastic Wax. It’s for/from the upcoming Warhammer 40K game Space Marine, and it enjoys a spot of the ol’ fisticuffs.

Plastic Wax are specialists in computer-generated animation with a long resume in the video game business, having worked on cutscenes and cinematic sequences for games like BioShock, Borderlands and, keeping it in the 40K family, Dawn of War II.

They also did the big E3 trailer for this game.

While this clip is short – it may be a promo reel, it may be a short cutscene from the game – it does enough to look and feel heavy. That is all we want from a Warhammer 40K game!

We’ve contacted Plastic Wax for clarification on the clip, and will update if we hear back.

    Clearly The Word Bearer Chaos Marine didn’t perform the appropriate Gun rites or his Bolt Pistol wouldn’t have jammed!! :)

      He’s a foul agent of the ruinous powers of chaos, the machine god would surely have turned his mechanical back away from traitors

    I’d like to see another ‘turn based’ RTS like Chaos Gate! That was cool back in the day!

    That looked so much better than the official 40K Ultramarines movie being released.
