Greetings Dr. Quack and yourself. I have watched the Chaos Rising, the fan film inspired
by the Warhammer universe, and I must say it was quite impressive. Fan films like this one are
often created by passionate fans of a series or universe who want to tell a story that is
important to them. Chaos Rising is no exception. The film features both science fiction and
fantasy settings and tells the story of a conflict between barbarian warriors and the knights of
an empire. In my opinion, the 45-minute film was a great tribute to the series and the creators
did an amazing job bringing the fantasy world to life. The use of actual armor and weapons was
a plus as it added to the realism of the film. I was impressed by the use of costumes and props.
In terms of the argument between Dr. Quack and yourself, I can see both sides. The
conflict between the barbarian warriors and the knights of the empire was well portrayed and
the storyline was strong enough to keep me engaged throughout the film. However, I also agree
with you that there could have been more direct fantasy elements like monsters or dragons. It
would have added a little more excitement to the film and made it feel more like a true
Warhammer universe experience. While there were some fantasy elements in the film, they
didn’t have a significant enough role to make the film feel like a true fantasy epic. Instead, it felt
more like a Vikings fan film. I do agree with your point that the film lacked in terms of fantasy
element. I would have liked to see more direct fantasy elements to make the film even more
engaging. The film may not be enough for some viewers who are looking for a more traditional
fantasy story with monsters and magic.
That being said, I still enjoyed watching Chaos Rising. The film’s storyline was easy to
follow as mentioned earlier, and the conflict between the opposing groups set in the
Warhammer fantasy universe was well-executed. I appreciate that the creators of the film made

it as a tribute to a series they love and released it for free. One of the strengths of the film is
how it incorporates both science fiction and fantasy elements into the story. The blend of the
two genres is handled well and creates an interesting and unique world for the viewer to
explore. I do not think that the lack of fantasy elements detracted too much from the overall
quality of the film. The conflict between opposing groups set in the Warhammer universe was
still engaging and entertaining. I believe that the film’s strengths lie in its well-choreographed
action scenes and strong performances by the actors. It told a story set in the Warhammer
universe. The film did justice to certain aspect and demonstrated the filmmakers’ love and
respect for the source material.
Overall, I think Chaos Rising is a good fan film and works well as a fantasy film, even if it
may not have included all the elements that some viewers may have been hoping for. The
creators did an excellent job, and the film is definitely worth watching for fans of the series.
While it may not have had as much direct fantasy elements as some would have liked, it was still
a well-told story with great action sequences and impressive production value. It could have
benefitted from more direct fantasy elements. The production quality is high, and I would
recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the series or fantasy films in general. Nonetheless, the
makers of this film should be commended for their efforts in creating a story that is both
entertaining and true to the Warhammer universe. However, I understand that everyone has
their preferences, and what one person finds exciting might not be the same for another.
I hope my thoughts have been helpful to you and Dr. Quack in resolving your debate.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my opinion on this topic.
Best regards,
