Warhammer tv - Pariah Nexus, Hammer and Bolter, Angels of Death, Astartes etc. - animated shorts

There are a few more: Iron Within, The Interrogator and The Exodite.

I liked The Interrogator for the story, even if it is a rip-off of sorts. It is the only show that would be enjoyable in another setting.
Dont get me wrong, the other shows are great for Warhammer 40k fans. Well, maybe except The Exodite.
But The Astartes miniseries from YouTube, made by fans, is still the best Warhammer 40k movie out there.

Astartes dude did some great stuff but he was hired by WH TV 4+ years ago(?) and haven't heard of any animated shit coming close to that yet.

I don't have Warhammer TV, so would be interested to hear if anything new is on that level.

The content is OK. The cost is... not awful. The value is mediocre unless you must have one of the annual models or you buy one month to catch up every once in a while.

The real problem in my opinion is the settings are just not as interesting and dynamic as they used to be.

AoS is, I'm sorry in advance, complete shit from a lore perspective. Rather than a rich world built over time, it was an amalgamation of random bits and pieces into this bizarre new thing. I actually quite enjoy the game of AoS for the most part, but the lore is just shitty cosmic whatever nonsense. That makes for shit TV. Everything is from everywhere and it's just a jumbled mess of diversity.

Mordheim vs Mudcry. Lmao.

40K is in a tight spot of just having the most iconic shows ignore all your primaris lore. Then there's the fact that the quality has been amateur for the most part. Astartes should have been the standard, instead it's simply never been replicated. I can't help but feel that the majority of stories people want to see are simply not done because of budget. Then there's the problem where basically the giant pile of cool characters have been deleted over time.

The Tau show was borderline OK but damn it was just like a single episode in a normal animated show worth of story.

I can't be quite as harsh because they aren't charging $22 a month or whatever and their subject matter is very niche. But it's still disappointing that can't just make like a 90s cartoon style series on the Badaab War and put a season out with 20 episodes each year.

Holy fuckin shit!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to watch a bootleg of this because I'm not paying those idiots for the shit one new thing every couple of years.

to quote the great Rich Evans: I'M GONNA CUUUUUUUUUUM

According to Astartes II Teaser Trailer – Watch it right now - Warhammer Community, that's not real footage?!?
"This teaser trailer is not actually clips from the new animation, instead showing a compilation of shots that represent the former lives of the characters that will appear in the show."

Apparently there's alternate footage on the intarwebs of the same shots with different chapters rendered - was Syama keeping the 'officiality' of this project a surprise, or was this proof of concept footage and the show won't actually feature any of this? Seems murky.

It seems A2 will be about a Deathwatch Terminator squad, since the last frame shows Deathwatch Terminator armor. So, each of the Helmets shown will be a member of that squad (my guess).

Buuut, having a show of the same (or nearly the same) quality as Secret Level showing Death Terminator going ballistic vs. Xenos would be amazing.

Edit: Also, not out til 2026.

It's interesting because those are being phased out. Much like TW:WH using old IP, I feel like GW is always behind on this shit. Also they don't all have to be Terminators, because DW kill teams can take mixed units.
