GW Announces Astartes II
Back when Astartes I came out, it was a 5 part series and was loved by a huge portion of the community, easily being one of the biggest animations for Warhammer in popularity.
Since then GW has gotten together with the creator and now they are working on a full sequel! We don’t have any details other than a short description, but we should know more with the next Warhammer+ update which is slated for June 23rd, so be sure to mark your calendars!
Angels of Death Preview
The preview opens in on a captain making a valiant last stand against a huge tide of Genestealers/Tyranids. Unfortunately, he runs out of Heavy Bolter ammo and has to switch to the more close and personal Force Sword… For the Emperor!
We’ve seen this project a little before, and it’s hard to forget that extremely unique color style. White-Black-Red really makes all of the Blood Angels iconographies stand out a ton, making for a unique experience while watching.
The short preview introduces us to a handful of characters, which we will definitely be seeing more of in the full animation when it drops later this year.
During the stream, they said it was supposedly in July! So we aren’t too far out to start watching the full 10-minute episodes!
