Blood Angels won the poll, so will be the chapter for the Space Hulk video. Since Deathwatch came second, they'll be the ones in the next vid after that one.
(Ignore the light bulb, it's just an Unreal sprite icon I forgot to turn off, not a new Terminator armour attachment)

I have a few non-40k videos coming up but I've started work on a video set on a Space Hulk featuring Terminators. I was planning to go with Blood Angels, they were the "official" chapter for the board game, the red contrasts well with the darkness of a derelict ship interior, and they were the first chapter I painted, but I've decided to throw this open to you all again. I can continue to work on building the scene as the poll goes on.
Thanks!

So the Salamanders won the poll and I've already started work on the video, which will feature the aforementioned First Founding Chapter, and also some Orks and Imperial Guard. I'll probably be posting a non-Warhammer 40k tutorial video before it, I enjoy making the 40k stuff but I started the channel to share other things and I don't want it to become exclusively 40k as that's just one aspect of the work I do, so I'll be alternating or doing one every 2 or 3 depending on the ideas I'm able to come up with. Also got a Space Hulk/Terminator video in the pipeline, might go with Blood Angels for that one just out of nostalgia. Thank you all for watching!

So I've got a Sisters of Battle video coming next (an extended version of the previous with some modifications based on feedback, more Sisters, and some action), a couple of non-40k videos, and then I'm going to try a brand new Space Marine one. It will feature some improvements in size, animation, head design, and lip sync (now using Faceware Studio which I will talk about in my next video) and to keep things interesting I'd like to throw it over to you lot to decide which chapter to use. Five is the maximum for polls so I've picked these ones. Get voting!

Just a quick note to say thanks to everyone who has subscribed, liked, and commented on my videos in the past few weeks. A week ago I was getting excited because one of my videos in a series I've been doing about the new Metahuman software, was about to hit 1000 views. A big deal for me. Then I uploaded the Warhammer 40k one, thinking it might get a few hundred views, and overnight it exploded and is currently at over 160,000 views.
I had planned to only do Warhammer 40k videos once in a blue moon, but due to the response I'm planning to do them more frequently, alongside other projects including Unreal Engine tutorials. I'm still learning a lot about all this software, and my videos are partly to show some of the great things that Unreal, Metahuman, iClone, etc can do but also to get feedback so that I can improve. Metahuman is still in early access so there are teething problems but it will continue to get better in the coming months. I welcome constructive criticism, sometimes it's things I already know and am working on, sometimes things I hadn't thought about and will implement, other times it's just a difference of opinion. I did have to laugh at the person who messaged me to say that "Space Wolves don't talk like that". Sadly I've never met a real life Space Wolf (clearly they have) so I had to just take a guess.
On the subject of 40k, there are some differing opinions on the look of the characters in my videos, and I am making adjustments here and there based on feedback, but some of it is personal choice. In the image I've attached, there is a Primaris figure, a Primaris marine in one of my videos, and a Space Marine from a 40k video game cutscene. I've stuck closer to the look of the figures as it's my preference, but I am open to exploring more extreme/exaggerated depictions for future videos.
Thanks for watching, and I look forward to sharing more of my work.
