A new teaser is here for the unofficial Warhammer 30k film short set in the Horus Heresy. Come see the latest on Death of Hope.
It has been a long time since we have had a film set in the Warhammer universe. Having flashbacks of the Official Ultramarines movie yet? Yeah, us too and we regret mentioning it. This new project, “Death of Hope”, is being made by Project Tetrach and is set during the dark days of the Horus Heresy. It is being made with zero budget and is promised to be “100% Grimdark”.
Today we’re getting a look at a brand new teaser video of Death of Hope, and it’s got us excited to see more!
The new teaser is giving us a couple quick glimpses of scenes from the fan made short, and it looks amazing. The graphics alone have us eagerly waiting for the full trailer that will be out this Christmas.
The project team had decided to start posting updates and stills from the film a couple of months ago. They will be continually updating their Facebook page and forum thread with news and other announcements corning Death of Hope. Here are some stills to keep the hype train rolling.
The screenshots can be found on the Death of Hope Facebook page, as well as a 40k Theories interview with Project Tetrach.
We also got some insight on the stills from Chapter Master Valrak who recently received details on them from Project Tetrach.
We’re getting our first look at the Imperial Fist Tech Marine, Brother Dietrich. He helped construct the world’s defenses and finds himself dead center of a kill zone.
This is just a picture showing off five of the characters in Death of Hope. According to Chapter Master Valrak the first character is the main character and his name is Tatus, may not be spelled correctly, and the second character is Decimus.
Here we’re getting a look at a battle with an Ultramarine closeup, and what looks to be a World Eater in the background. Chapter Master Valrak “confirms” it’s a World Eater’s Marine due to the overall design of the helmet, and it’s going to be the Ultramarine’s VS World Eaters.
Here we’re getting a look at a Space Marine charging into battle with what looks like XII on his front leg which would make it World Eaters, and it looks like his shoulder pad is bearing the World Eaters symbol. This guy looks a lot like the one we thought could be World Eaters it the first preview, which can be seen below, but once again we can’t be 100% certain.
As you can see, Decimus, the main character of this short film, will be a member of the Ultramarines. Now there is some debate as to who he is fighting and during what battle this occurs. What no one is debating is how beautiful it looks and their impatience for it to be released.
World Eaters anyone? This still shows Decimus fighting, what looks to be, a World Eater in the ruins of an Imperial city. Drop pods, dead Astartes all around, an Astartes wielding a giant Chain Axe…. This is going to be good! A lot of people have been saying the army looks to be Death Guard, but if you look at old school 30k World Eaters they had white armor as well. 
What is also a mystery as it could be from a major battle such as Arrigata, Calth, or the Battle of Armatura from the Betrayer novel. We will not have an idea until the trailer is released. Wherever this is, one thing is clear, it will be bloody and 100% Grimdark. This still below gives a close up of the armor. Note the 8-pointed Star carved into the ceramite chest plate.
Note the XII on the chainaxe. From the looks of this marine’s load out (spikes, chains axe, as well as the legion numeral) he appears to be from the World Eaters legion in this image.
This all that has been posted on Project Tetrach’s Facebook and Twitter feeds. They also will be posting updates on this forum page. We are excited for this fan film and cannot wait to see the trailer that is coming this Winter.
What do you think about the new fan film? Are you getting excited to see more?
