New animated films are on the way from Warhammer Storyforge. They’re bringing in Scions, Catachans, Assassins and in a series called Death’s Hand.
The first week of the Biggest GW Previews ever are here! Rescheduled due to the cancelation of Adepticon, Games Workshop is revealing their latest news and previews on Twitch and Warhammer Community today!
Sure, we’ve seen a few models here and there over the past weeks, (like Fabius Bile), however here’s the latest on GW’s expanse into animation and films starting with their previews in February:
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!

What do you think about this big reveal? Does a series on secretive warfare with Assassins, Craftworld Snipers, and Inquisitors sound like something you’d watch? Would you like to also see a series that focuses on massive large-scale invasions and battles?
