Prepare yourself for something a little bit different from our usual preview format. Today we’re talking about Warhammer animation, announcing the line-up for our first wave of shows, and explaining how you’ll be able to watch them!
If you missed the live presentation on our Twitch channel, you can watch the whole thing right here.
Want to see what’s coming? Feast your eyes on this awesome teaser trailer:
In a word, wow! The worlds of Warhammer are vast, and as you can see, the Warhammer Animation team are diving headlong into them. The projects you’ve seen in this teaser explore diverse settings with a variety of animation styles and character perspectives. Whatever kind of Warhammer fan you are, we think you’ll find something to love.
In fact, today we’re announcing a host of projects currently in the works.
Let’s take a look at each of these shows in a little more detail.
Hammer and Bolter
An anthology of animated stories, featuring characters and factions from across the worlds of Warhammer, Hammer and Bolter has something for every Warhammer fan.
Angels of Death
Battered by warp storms, a small band of Blood Angels find safe harbour above an isolated world. All is not as it seems though, and soon the scions of Sanguinius have fresh foes to contend with.
The Exodite
In the midst of a brutal conflict, a T’au Stealth Team must undertake a critical mission against the armies of the Imperium. But the T’au aren’t the only force vying for dominion here, and powers far older and more mysterious are at play…
Iron Within
When beleaguered Astra Militarum forces face annihilation, they must turn to salvation from a most unlikely source. Is the enemy of your enemy really your friend?
Altar of Wrath
After a grinding war of attrition, the last Black Templars of a Crusade seek to strike a final, decisive blow against the Necrons to end the battle for good.
Blacktalon
A notorious hunter is unleashed to slay Sigmar’s most grievous foes – but the secrets of Neave Blacktalon’s past follow wherever she treads, even beyond death.
Interrogator
This tale of crime and heresy in an Imperial hive city explores the tragedy and horror that haunts the servants of the Inquisition. Interrogator blurs the lines between right and wrong… can the ends ever justify the means?
Broken Lance
Towering war machines stride the battlefield in a drama that sees the survivors of a once-noble house of Imperial Knights facing the sins of their predecessors.
Pariah Nexus
Explore silence and death in the darkest corners of the galaxy. As the Indomitus Crusade reaches the Pariah Nexus, strength and faith will be tested to the limit.
High Lords
Politics and treachery abound in the Imperial Palace. For ten thousand years, the High Lords have governed the Imperium in the Emperor’s stead. Such power brings corruption, intrigue, and danger to all who would grasp it.
Astartes II
Witness the forces of the Space Marines in unrelenting action as they take the fight to the enemies of Mankind.
Of course, you’re probably wondering when and where you can watch all of these.
