The latest grand Warhammer animation lands today in the form of Iron Within. This gritty featurette opens on a beleaguered Imperial planet that’s under siege by a Drukhari raiding party.
To whet your appetite, the first 60 seconds are available to watch right here – as a unit of razor-sharp Reavers make an attack run on an Astra Militarum emplacement.
In this 27-minute one-shot, the sadistic Drukhari have come to reap a harvest of humans, and they have the tools and the weapons – not forgetting the cruelly inventive ways to use them – to ensure a bumper crop.
Behind the barricades, the Astra Militarum have their backs against the wall. Things are made even worse when they discover the planetary governor is more interested in self preservation than the safety of his subjects.
With the death toll rising and more citizens being whisked back to Commorragh by the hour, the defenders turn to the ancient traditions of the planet – an ancestral lifeline to the Emperor’s Angels of Death. But should they be wary of who answers the call?
Once you’ve watched Iron Within, you can check out this week’s episode of Loremasters, which covers law enforcement in the Imperium and the jurisdiction of the Adeptus Arbites*. Meanwhile, White Dwarf issues 300 and 301 come to the Warhammer Vault, alongside all the lore from the first ever T’au Codex.
