Well, he mainly animates, that's his thing, the models are by other people and he only does some kitbashing minor modelling (not saying this in a condescending way).
He does a lot of motion capturing on his own, so weirdly enough one of his best skills that makes this feel so natural and good is his own body control - he really knows how to perfectly act like he's a two ton cryborg.
Btw, if you look at the bugbois in the video you posted you'll notice that the hormagaunts are pic related by Julio Nicoletti, pretty popular model with 3D printfags.

10+ years of experience. But still, I feel like reeeing when I see how fast some people are, and on top of that how much time they spend daily working on their projects. I just can't physically pull off 10+ hour work days, fuck me. But that's what is expected of me in this industry. I bet I'll get roasted and get called weak for admitting this. I see asian 3D artists doing these gigantic scenes in a month and feel like crying.

For starters, animating people in anatomically nonsensical power armor is a fuck ton easier than animating people in just about anything else. Not saying this guy isn't talented - he very clearly is - but no having to worry about getting muscles deforming right, not having to worry about sub-surface scattering on skin, not having to worry about facial expressions, and only having to be concerned about weight and momentum in regards to animating these guys is a huge time saver, as is the dark shadows, clouds of smoke, and flashes of light that eliminate virtually all need for detail in the cannon fodder.

Again, this guy is obviously really fucking good, but the real 'how' was in the planning

You are right, his real talent is not in the animating or other technicalities but the whole.
His style of direction, his framing/blocking, movement, editing, sound, the narrative, all these "little" things coming together as one - that's no small feat.
This dude is a true generalist who has a lot of knowledge and experience in many disciplines and he has mastered many.
What I absolutely adore is the focus and efficiency of it, there is not a single shot/detail shown in this work that is redundant, there is nothing that you can take away.

Michael Nash. https://www.artstation.com/mikeanash

I wouldn't put the blame on him, though. He seems to have been in an exploitative environment.

yes that's what they do to workaholics they exploit them until they expire one way or another.
That also forces normal people into workaholism as well thinking they'll be fired.

There is a big difference between workaholics who invest hundreds of hours into their own passion projects like the guy in OP and those who just slave away for others.
I don't think Michael Nash had a lot of enjoyment for his work when making models, the Astartes guy has the time of his life turning his childhood autism hobby to life life.

Yeah clearly mike nash didn't enjoy it even though he was skilled enough to make his own company and attract people to him.

He knows the body, I liked the moment where marine puts down a gun and it felt that there was a lot of power to that gun. Because once it was placed it was more or less stationary and instead the body was doing adjustment movement to get a better look and body was compensating for a recoil, a fuckgueg body and relatively a small gun so to me this gun felt strong.

Because he's a fan? Hopefully he keeps creative control.

I don't know if GW is the type of company to make offers with a knife held behind their back. Given he's making lots of patreon money from their fandom and IP, refusing might invite a DMCA later on.

What's wrong with 3D artists and their unwillingness to become independent creators. To be their own boss and create unique personal artworks. One of the rare art fields where this is the case.

Fan work of things your enjoy is fun to do and if you're getting official support and a job out of it, all the better. Making up your own 'original character do not steal' doesn't make you any more special.

I'm pretty sure the money he got from GW was beyond enough to convince him.
He will probably get more of a creative director position by the looks of it, GW quite literally hired a studio and already produced a animated film which obviously emulates his style - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz8iJN9L5qA
They need him more than he needs them, he made the best advertisement for their company than they ever managed to do on their own.

You're focusing on a wrong thing, I'm saying why would you prefer to work in a studio where you get little to no creative control, if you can create your own works. Ofc, IF you can earn money that way as well. Ok, maybe in his case he will retain some creative control, but generally speaking.

>Making up your own 'original character do not steal' doesn't make you any more special.
Imagine saying this to any musician, painter or a writer. Yeah sure, recreating other people's work is just as fun and fulfilling and should be treated the same as coming up with original work.

I gotta correct my claim here, they're also an indie studio that made this as a fan film and GW hired them too.
All in all this might be a good thing, GW hiring nobodies who do it out of passion for their autism hobby instead of hiring a horde of Pajeets might actually mean they will be more open for the creatives and not cuck them.
I have some hope left.
