So, imagine that the yard is not 2016, but the fortieth millennium. This is exactly what Warhammer represents. The period in the history of mankind when most of the planets have been studied and mastered. Many worlds were not ready to take upon themselves the burden of peaceful coexistence, and a great war broke out, which not a single generation knew. Some alien invaders seek to conquer planets. Of course, they will not allow to take away the great relic - the hammer - Warhammer (Ultramarines), which means that a new era is beginning in the space world.
400th century
In fact, the entire history of Warhammer is a continuous battle for the resources of the planet and prosperity, if not in the whole galaxy, then at least on some planets where the Space Marine Ultramarines achieve this through weapons and genetic superiority. So you can start the story of the largest space epic, whose name is Warhammer 40,000.
Briefly about the plot
The plot begins with the fact that a paratrooper named Nidon receives an order to defend the Codex, and at the same moment a ball of fire engulfs the Astartes (Order of the Space Marines).
Cartoon Warhammer ("Ultramarines") in 2010 tells about the events that occurred in the fortieth millennium. In such a distant future, people not only mastered other planets, but also encountered various creatures.
As the plot develops, the viewer will see how the captain of the Order of the Ultramarines fights with Proteus (a rookie among space marines) on board the cruiser. Voiced by captain of the Space Marine Ultramarines Severus actor Terence Stamp, who has a great filmography.
Proteus disarms Captain Severus in front of the crew and Space Marine Ultramarines. Despite losing the battle, the squad leader manages to seize the initiative. In turn, having won, he declares that the space paratrooper never surrenders.
After a small battle, members of the Space Marine rush to their ship, where the sacred relic is located - the hammer of Macragg. Using it at the ceremony, the Ultramarines receive a new partner Paytol, who swears allegiance to the Order and is preparing for the first mission in the new status of a space paratrooper.
When the ceremony ends, the detachment proceeds with the mission on the planet Mitron. When landing on the surface of the planet, Captain Severus sends a squad informing them that they must respond to a distress signal from Mitron, which was received shortly before all contact with the planet was lost.
The plot continues the development of action in the Warhammer universe. Ultramarines detect an emergency buoy that sends signals from the surface of the planet. It is not known whether this alarm is systemic.
2010 Warhammer Cartoon (Ultramarines): A Little About History
In 2010, Games Workshop decided to give fans of the aforementioned universe an animated film adaptation. As often happens, the idea is interesting and well-founded, since the idea of creating the Warhammer universe ("Ultramarines") is not only a bottomless storehouse of ideas, but also excellent material for a full-fledged film or series. However, either the director was not as eminent and professional as we would like, or an insufficiently qualified cameraman, but, taking into account all the factors, the creation visited the screens just for a tick and did not have much popularity.
It has long been known that films on computer games are hard and very painstaking work (just look at “Resident Evil”). If Andersen were entrusted with this project, then, quite possibly, the world would see another masterpiece, but such an unexpected and not very successful artistic contribution to the history of Warhammer ("Ultramarines") in 2010.
Computer universe
In order to describe all the nuances of the game universe "Warhammer", you will need to write not one article, but a whole book. A lot of game data is published, there is information about almost all the popular platforms on which the games were released. In addition, there are a large number of books and comics that also characterizes the entire game universe and the Warhammer (Ultramarines) theme we have touched on. Of course, only the most devoted fans can read everything and get acquainted with each game individually. Everyone especially liked the desktop localization of the game. Probably, the enthusiasm for “Monopoly” affected. This game is a great way to have a good time.
Analogs
We talked about the cartoon and discussed the general picture of the universe. It is time to look for similar projects that will be filmed this year. And the first game universe that comes to mind is Warcraft. A full-fledged feature film will be shot on this game, which will surely please its fans and collect a large box office, which the Ultramarines could not do. Perhaps someday there will be a film company that will create a truly masterpiece film not about a big war, but about a beautiful, albeit sometimes dark universe. Perhaps Starcraft will join them. Fans of computer games have something to rejoice in terms of adaptations. Films were in the past, but this year promises to be interesting in terms of computer adaptations.
