The new Angels of Death 40k trailer reveal is filled with action, tons of cultists, and great animation- check it out!
Warhammer Community just unveiled the latest teaser trailer and it looks awesome! It’s been quite a little while since we’ve seen progress on this project, so it’s good to see something new coming down the pipeline.
If you haven’t been keeping up with the project, it follows a group of Blood Angels as they hunt for their missing captain. It takes them to a world swarming with GSC, meaning they have plenty of little bad guys to tear through.
We’ll take a look at the original trailers first, so you can see how this is progressing. Then obviously, hop into the new trailer.
Warhammer 40K: Angels of Death Trailer Reveal
First announced in the latter half of 2018, Angels of Death gave the spotlight to some Blood Angels going through a harrowing journey.
‘Angels of Death’, will follow the visceral exploits of a band of Blood Angels Space Marines as they face Mankind’s enemies, death, and worse – the dreaded Black Rage. To ensure the story is suitably grimdark, we’ve called upon the talents of some of Black Library’s finest authors. Together, they’re forging an epic tale for the animators to realize.
GW Brings Fans into Collaboration
On top of that, they brought in the maker of the fan-made film, Helsreach, which left an incredible mark on the community.
Speaking of which, some of you might be familiar with the Helsreach fan film, based on the Black Library novel of the same name. If you thought that was cool, you were right! We enjoyed it so much that we knew we had to team up with the very same team to deliver Angels of Death.
Our first teaser trailer came in 2018 from Warhammer TV along with the initial announcement, showing a decent bit of work had already been done.
Warhammer Open 2019 Announcement-Films to Come
Back in 2019, Warhammer TV also gave us a good mix of all their film projects. From Warhammer Adventures to Angels of Death, there were new snippets of the 40k short film that you could watch. These are all in addition to the announcement trailer.
Written by the Warhammer Story Forge (more on those fine wordsmiths soon), Angels of Death is being animated in collaboration with Richard Boylan and Boman Modine. Some of you may remember Richard’s striking and atmospheric work from the fan-made animation of the Helsreach audiobook, and Richard and Boman collaborated on Guardsman. Alongside the Warhammer Story Forge, the team is creating something really special – an all-new Blood Angels story brought to visceral life. This is the 41st Millennium you always dreamed of seeing on screen.
The first full trailer for Angels of Death will be with us in January – due to debut at the Las Vegas Open Warhammer Preview.
AoD Trailer Announced At LVO
In the video, you hear a twisted voice say: The false angels are resilient. But they shall be broken! with what looks to be a GSC Magus walking into the frame.
There’s also a Terminator with one arm taking on about two hundred Genestealers. We’ll have to see if he can spike his dice rolls. It’s important to note also that for those at the event, GW showed them a slightly longer trailer.
Newest Angels of Death Teaser
That’s right, the noble sons of Sanguinius are about to find themselves face to face with the Genestealer Cults once again. Veteran hobbyists may remember the Blood Angels first clashing with Genestealers back in the original Space Hulk, and suffice to say they have not worked out their differences since then.

Even when you don’t call for aid, the Blood Angels will come to ruin your world!
They don’t give an exact release date but do say the wait is almost over. So we hope to finally see the full release before too much longer! It has been in the works since 2018, so let’s hope we don’t have to wait until the 4-year mark!
