The Nephilim Sector is a violent area of the galaxy in which the advancing Indomitus Crusades are locked in all-out war with a dynasty of Necrons awakening from their aeons-long slumber. We first visited it in the most recent edition of Warhammer 40,000, and we returned in the latest season of Matched Play. Soon we’ll see it in a completely new light – on Warhammer TV in the forthcoming series Pariah Nexus.
This is the story of a handful of brave Imperial warriors thrown together and battling to survive.
Details of the series are scant right now, but the trailer gives us a few clues.
This beleaguered pair are two of the protagonists – an embattled Adepta Sororitas sister and a Cadian guardswoman. Somehow, with all the madness and death unfolding around them, they’re managing to survive.
This frame is reminiscent of the Warhammer 40,000 Indomitus trailer we debuted in 2020 – an Ultramarines Assault Intercessor going in hard with his heavy bolt pistol. Is he the same Space Marine from that trailer?
Yes, that’s Illuminor Szeras. Yes, he looks awesome. No, we can’t explain why he’s sending a Deathmark on an assassination quest. But we are very interested to find out why…
Wait a minute… that’s not a son of Macragge! If you look past the fires of battle, you’ll probably work out which Chapter this Astartes warrior hails from… and it’s the first time we’ve seen one in a Warhammer animation.
There’s loads more in the trailer to pick over – and we’ll take a closer look in 2023, when the show is expected to land!
