Weekly Comp - Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Film - 18th June 2013 - FINISHED
 

Hi everyone,

Any Warhammer fans out there? Up for grabs this week is the excellent feature length animated film staring John Hurt, Sean Pertwee and Terence Stamp (the first ever Warhammer film!). Fancy winning a copy? Well, here's how...


One of the most popular and successful wargame universes of all time, Warhammer 40,000 is explosively brought to life in this dazzling, blood-soaked CG animated movie featuring the vocal talents of Terence Stamp, John Hurt and Sean Pertwee.

Key talent:

Voice actors Terence Stamp (Smallville; Wanted), John Hurt (Merlin; Immortals; Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows; Doctor Who) and Sean Pertwee (Camelot; Devil’s Playground; Dog Soldiers), and screenwriter Dan Abnett (Games Workshop’s Black Library; Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy; 2000 AD).

Synopsis:

It is the 41st Millennium, and the only force that stands between humanity and alien hordes are the Space Marines. Genetically enhanced, clad in power armour and knowing no fear, they are the angels of death. And the greatest of them are the Ultramarines. But when a select squad of scarred veterans and raw recruits responds to a distant planet’s distress beacon, they discover that a horrific evil has been unleashed. Amidst a living nightmare of chaos, carnage, and daemonic fury, these steel battle-brothers must now survive the ultimate enemy: themselves.

You'll Love It Because...

It’s loud, it’s bloody, it has unfeasibly well-armoured Space Marines firing huge guns at anything that moves and features one of the most impressively fearsome villains we’ve seen in ages. Pure boy’s own, sci-fi escapism at its best.

Oh this is gonna be fun.

It may take some alcohol to come up with a crazy enough idea to win this.:lol:

To the booze and medication cabinet! I'll need to be tripping balls to come up with something....hhhherm.....Trrriping....Baaaalls.... .:spy:

The nastiest war machine I can think of, a Gatlin gun type device that shoots/sprays out various "dirty bombs"... so many different diseases being thrown around that nobody stands a chance. This could also be the type of gun our robot soldiers use.

We need to channel the methods of Hunter S Thompson for this

I can't believe nobody has mentioned a robot sex doll yet.

I call this one the Auto-Lonely Nerd 3000. In the future role-playing games will have become so immersive and interactive that they will effectively only work for people who don't have jobs and can spend the weeks necessary to play. Enter the A.L.N. 3000. This is a lifelike robotic 14-year old with spots and glasses held together with sticky tape. It can be plugged in to the games on your behalf, and will exhibit the same socially awkward demeanour that any game player would have if they were there themselves. The robot will play for you enabling you to have a real job and still pop in from time to time to see how you're getting on.

The A.L.N. 3000 will not need sleep or food. Just the occasional episode of Baywatch should provide enough energy to keep it going.

The Bieber-Aid 4000

This miraculous device works like a regular hearing aid, except in reverse. Every time the user hears a Justin Bieber song, they instantly become deaf until either the song has finished or they are a safe distance away from the threat

The Super Glove: Ever broken a piece of plastic or metal? Snapped DVD spine or lamp shade? Can't find a decent glue? Have no fear! The glue glove is a snug, convenient piece of equipment that slip's on easily and, when your hand clentches, produces the sticky substance (Ooh Eer Missus!) and repairs that damaged good in hand!
