Now she is tainted, knows it, knows the threat she is to everyone around her, yet still believes she isn't the one cursed. Her love for the child outweighs her love for the Emperor, with whom she only calls out to in order to save the baby, knowing full well that the abomination should have been smothered and cleansed in fire when it was birthed. She would forsake the Emperor the moment she found someone or something that would give her hope to save the child.

    *1. corpses on the outside of the ship are stuck there due to astartes magboots, giving a glimpse of the previous boarding assault fight on the hull.*
    *2. marines in floors and walls are due to either a blind, rushed, or warp interferenced teleport assault attempt.*
    -both of these make it seems like the fight was a last ditch effort assault just so they could potentially get a few men on board to sabotage or to break out and warn the next planet where ever they exit the warp from.
    *3. blipping demons, old school bloodletter, and mutated mother/child are because there is no gellar field on while they're warp traveling (makes sense given they're wordbearers)*
    *4. dark mechanicus guy says there's an intruder messing around with the ship: either a surviving ultramarine or maybe that nightlord astartes perched over the pit (could be loyalist).*
    -more than likely the first since the guy in the cell asks the ultramarine if he's recovered after he finds out they're close to the next planet/about to exit warp, as if ready to spring their own plan.
    *5. torso ultramarine over pit is probably the captured captain from part 2 that welcomed wordbearers onto planet; now being forced to watch his captured brothers fight/die in the pit.*
    -he has his imperial laurel nailed to his head, probably in mockery , and the ultramarine in the pit is wearing his while fighting with two "Macragge" ultramarine signature axes
    *6. normal guy in cell is probably a captured ultramarine initiate based on his shoulder armor and dialogue with the world eater; "aspire to become one with the 13th legion".*
    - also says he doesn't need to be modified to go toe to toe with the world eater, referring to either the gene seed needed to become an astartes or the butchers nails.
    *7. same guy recognizes the ultramarine walking with the wordbearers and is in disbelief; astarte in next cell tells him its a wordbearer that's just wearing his armor; "a lie".*
    -at the end, you can see both the imprisoned astartes armor being worn by the wordbears and Nakal, as shells that they will "march onto the streets of neighboring worlds"
    MK1 Terminator and gal vorbak were a great touch as well. Phenomenal animation: liked and subscribed.

The perfect amount of grimdark....just wonderful...an artist is supposed to project their vision, the viewer is suppose to stand in awe of the creativity. I stand in awe of the art and dedication for these animations...I do wish you'd continue making them....but this is your creation. I wish GW would realise its thanks to the creative minds like yours that created free marketing for them instead of what they're doing now. Anyway, dude, you're the best.

    “In the grim darkness of the far future there is only the Death of Hope.”
    Mark, this is a truly stunning piece of art you have lovingly crafted here. Your tireless adherence to exquisite detail and in-universe authenticity is without peer and sets a new bar of animated story telling in the universe of the Horus Heresy and wider Warhammer 40,000. Never before have I seen these stories and art brought to life with such power and utterly uncompromising and brilliant clarity.
    Your Astartes and Mechanicum are how I imagine them in the minds of the Black Library authors and of course, the late great Alan Bligh. The depictions of the neverborn daemons are inspired and connect to the deepest, darkest lore of 40K and took me vividly back to the Realm of Chaos books Slaves to Darkness and Lost And The Damned.
    I offer my heartfelt appreciation and most admiring compliments to you and those who contributed towards the incredible creation the is “Death of Hope”. It is a grimdark masterpiece!
    A final personal note. I cannot find the words right now to express how completely overwhelmed and honoured I am to see you mention my humble content in your dedication. Imagination is perhaps the greatest of gifts to give and to see you say so is a moment I will always treasure and remember.

      That was beautiful. And well deserved, the honour and respect that travelled in both directions between the two of you. You are both paragons of the Horus Heresy fan world, and as creators of original content yourselves, have both contributed immeasurably to my own personal enjoyment of it- and I’m also honoured to have corresponded with both of you, however briefly, through your channels. As high as the regard is in which I hold the both of you, I’m always blown away by how down to earth and accessible you guys are. It speaks to your character, mainly- that you’re both willing to share thoughts and ideas with those of us who are not as talented or knowledgeable as you guys, but love the grimdark, amazing world that Bligh and company have given to us to enjoy, with the same devotion and passion. This was an amazing piece of work, and something that I’ll watch countless times (as I did with the prologue) until part 2 premieres. I have been waiting for this for so long, but I have to say, that it was more than worth the wait. Just incredible, Mark. And I got such a great feeling when I saw that dedication at the end, and recognized the banner and models before even hearing Leaky’s voice- I just thought- how incredibly appropriate, and fitting. Anyway- thanks for all of the thousands of hours of work that obviously went into the production of what Leakycheese rightly named a “masterpiece.” This is a one of a kind - and will have a place of honour in the lore and works of the Heresy that we all know and love.

      I have to comment again because I just found out that this series was cancelled. I understand how the weight of negativity and comparisons brought you so far down. I hope someday that you feel well enough to pick this back up because it is truly a work of art. I bet the comparisons to Astartes left a bitter taste in your mouth but I have to add just one more that I hope you read as a positive take.
      Astartes is a demonstration of ruthless efficiency- soldiers seeing their mission through to the end.
      Death of Hope is a snapshot of the soul-crushing reality that these people live in.
      Both are deep dives into lore and are obvious passion projects made with incredible amounts of love for the game(?) I love that the approaches are so different and it sets an astonishingly high bar for anything that follows.
      I haven't watched part 2 yet but I already know that I'm going to be entertained, scared, impressed, and then sad that there isn't a 3rd in the trilogy. Thanks for doing this

The problem about books or "encyclopedia-type" videos is that none of them could give the real undestanding of all those hellish horrors that hide behind this word, "Chaos". You absolutely DID IT. All this hopeless atmosphere and whole material feed give an opportunity to feel like I am right there, on that ship, and that feeling creeps me out. Great job done on details, every single rust stain is alive and the darkness of that world is seen in every minute. I hope I made myself clear to understand, thank you so much!

      To be fair there needs to be a rise before there can be a fall, that's tragedy 101. 40k wouldn't be tragic without the highs of the Dark Age of Technology, and basically everything that happened while the Emperor wasn't stuck on his throne. I can understand why narratively, they would want a rise again before another fall. It just needs to not be contrived

      Without spoiling you how the novel ends, I would consider that "Thousand Sonds" won't be the moment that Magnus fall, rather I would say it´s just one more stepping stone.

    Dude. OK, I know you may not see this, but I have to congratulate you here.
    This is fucking incredible. This entire video oozes grimdark. The Warp and the Ruinstorm are fucked up beyond fucked up, as it should be. The scene with the mother, JESUS CHRIST! This absolutely encapsulates the horror of Chaos and the terror of the Heresy. The models are fantastically detailed, and while I have a personal complaint about the "Saturnine" Armor appearance, it's not a big enough complaint for me to really care. Each Space Marine is absolutely imposing, and their often still-living corpses are nightmare-inducing.

    Whats so amazing about this is how the creator has made marines into being actually really f**king scary. Even the ultramarines look scary. It really captures this sense in the books of transhuman dread. That these beings are so ascended beyond a normal human, that people are like insects.
    There is many comparisons I read between this and astartes. I like everyone else enjoy astartes, its very polished. But Death of Hope OOZES atmosphere, the world it creates is such an authentic representation of the grim wh world.
    Normally I dont like too much deviation from 'normal' space marine appearance. But the detail in DoH, its really awe inspiring. I love the art so much, but something worries me, surely only one touched by the warp could produce such dire majesty. Summon the Inquisition!

    I'm 47 years old. I dont watch tv and I'm very picky with what movies I watch. Between graduating highschool in 1993 and 2014, I read every book ever written by Dean Koontz, John Saul, Ann Rice, Steven King, Tolkien, Joe McKinney, and many others, with hundreds of stand-alone novels between. I had just finished 60 something novels in The Legend of Drizzt series by R.A. Salvatore along with all offshoot series related to the Dark Drow Elf's journey when a Barnes and Nobles employee recommended The Horus Heresy. I haven't played the table top, not due to lack of interest but, lack of free time. The world of 40k has become part of my life. This series has been the most compelling, radical, work of genius over the many novels and series I have read. That being said, of all the fan made material out there, this animation took me back to when I read this story. I felt true despair at what the loyalists were facing on a galactic scale simply by the death of hope that befell the warriors captured on this ship. The betrayal is unimaginable and the scenes and atrocities that I saw in my minds eye while reading this abhorrent account of treason to the Emporor, couldn't have been portrayed better than this. It's as if you looked into my imagination and pulled the images from the dark recesses where I had stored this traumatic tale. Amazing, simply amazing .

Every time I read the Uriel Ventris saga -into what we can call hell- I think "this is the grimdarkness that we deserve". I'm glad we have all the books to back us up, glorious miniature and the amazing work that the fans are producing, this includes you, the project Astartes and the project Hellsreach.
      Keep up with the amazing work!

    I'm a newcomer to The Horus Heresy novels and I'm completely blown away by them. I absolutely love it. These videos capture the uncompromising nature of Grimdarkness perfectly . The imagery will enhance my imagination immensely, as I read.
    Thank you so much for your work from a fellow fan.

      Jsh Pk if they ever tried to release 40k for the “wider audience” then it wouldn’t be what we’ve all grown to know and enjoy. It’ll be more watered down garbage like the avengers. Missing what made it so unquie.
      So might I request you get over yourself and invest in the models?
      Or I’ll put this much simpler for you. Normies ruin hobbies.

    wow dude this was one of the coolest things ever. I felt like I could see the Emperors dream dying in front of me with how twisted the Traitor space marine's had become. And the Lovecraftian elements to how a Word Bearers ship is a totally messed up place where the warp bleeds through was done perfectly. This is so loyal to the Horus Heresy Books it is amazing, I always knew the Word Bearers were messed up and their ships were nasty but holy god-Emperor! this is what 30k/40k should be, grimdark to the core. This was awesome!!

    This is still so awesome, it shows so much cool stuff from the setting, warp being weird, do you like cubes? here hell cubes with tentacles and some crawlies on top, space marines while some may be handsome they are also disgusting piles of artificial muscle, the eldar who are super sexy, but to human they would be disturbing and unnatural, over the top insane bullshit hand crafted detailed armour ? sure thing, space marines are the best of the best, they deserve those eight trillion not-slaves working on every tiny detail on their pauldrons
    That oldschool terminator just walking past gives me absolute chills, this could be intro to a game and it would be the best 11/10 - IGN game ever made
