yawn.
what did you guys think about it? dan abnett appears to be a lot better at writing for imperial guardsmen than space marines. would you all agree?
pros:
- john hurt
- gun porn (bullet view shots, slow-mo, etc)
- good tie-in plot point at the end when protius smacks the demon prince with the helmet
- good production effectiveness for limited budget (but i still wanted to see other races)
cons:
- protius never developed as a character the audience will root for. in fact he was quite the opposite
- john hurt's chaplain died way too quickly
- no orks/eldar/bugs/etc
- cookie-cutter chaos story of corruption and iron will
i'm ok with GW spending the money i gave them for physical items in this manner, however maybe they should save a little longer next time and go for michael bay?
