Warhammer Storyforge is back with previews for Hammer and Bolter future episodes as a part of the third online preview from GW. Check out the latest.
The Third installment of GW Previews are here! Rescheduled and expanded due to the cancelation of Adepticon, Games Workshop is revealing their latest news and previews on Twitch and Warhammer Community today!
Essential Hobby Products & Tools List
GW’s animation team gave us a deeper look at what’ll be ahead as part of the Hammer & Bolter series. Take a look with us. In case you missed the first previews of Hammer & Bolter, make sure you get caught up with our previous article.
Previous Animated Warhammer Storyforge Previews
Along with this completed scene, we also got a look at some different characters’ concept arts.
With the first concept art, we can clearly see the Inquisition and members of it will be the focal point of this series!
We also get some sketches of two other characters who seem to have more focus on fighting.
Another piece of art shows a member of the assassinorum. This Callidus is a shapeshifter so next time we see her she may look different…
The last piece of concept art is of an Eldar Ranger. Is it an ally? Is it an enemy? We just don’t know enough about the storyline yet to say for sure!
Warhammer Animated Storyforge: Death’s Hand Trailer REVEALED
…we get to take our first glimpse at Death’s Hand. If you like the shadowy world of the agents of the Imperium, you’ll love this. Take a look.
We’re working with another world-class animation studio on this project, and as you can see, Death’s Hand has a very different style and feel to Angels of Death. This tale is gory, grim and dark, full of the back-stabbing and clandestine skullduggery that happens in the unseen corners of the Imperium to maintain the power behind the Golden Throne. Death’s Hand is part of an animated anthology series called Hammer and Bolter – we’ll have more updates on that soon.
We’ve only just gotten a short trailer to go off of, but out of everything in the video, we know we have a Cratworld, a Callidus Assassin, an Imperial Noble, an Inquisitor, a Scion, and some Catachans. That’s a long list but we’re sure they’re just the tip of the iceberg as well.
As for the animation, the quality is really high and almost has some close artistic resemblances to the old superhero cartoons with Batman, Superman, etc.
Hopefully, we won’t have to wait very long to see more on Death’s Hand. But we should also remember that Death’s Hand is a smaller series in the larger “Hammer and Bolter”. With that said, we should see more stories in the future!
Warhammer Storyforge: More Hammer & Bolter Pics Revealed
we have a VERY exciting first look at Hammer and Bolter episode 2. Written by George Mann, whom you may know from his Raven Guard stories for Black Library, this instalment stars the Sisters of Battle.
GW is already dipping their toe into the second episode of Hammer & Bolter with Sisters of Battle on the move.
These images give you a hint of the animation style you can expect from this episode, and a tantalising first glimpse at Sisters Elena and Agatha. Who could they be fighting?
There’s no new video teaser accompanying these characters. However, we can see that the animation style on Elena and Agatha are fairly similar to Avatar: The Last Air Bender’s show.
With GW just showing two Sisters as a part of this preview, it really makes you wonder what happened to the rest of their squad…Moreover, what they’re going up against. While these questions are looking to remain unanswered for a little while, everything on the series is looking solid.
