Do you think the creators might have been inspired by Warhammer Fantasy when they make this anime? References to include:

Many different types of Goblins. In most generic fantasy settings, the Goblins are depicted as puny, but these ones can be actually threatening.

Two moons, one red and the other green.

Dark tone. As in, it's pretty dark. Not Warhammer dark, but probably on par with Age of Sigmar, if one of the Stormcast Eternal becomes obsessed with fighting Destruction.

The opening animation has some dice rolling.

Eh, not really. Its just another RPG inspired anime that's a little bit more on the dark side.
Its basically Berserk light for the current generation. Its good, and its one of the better series out there right now, but its not warhammer.
Berserk is probably closer to Warhammer, really. You have a Warp analogue, Apostles (which are comparable to demon princes / possessed) and its pretty grimdark. You even have a militant religious organization with an inquisitorial branch.

If you read the manga you find out what the dice rolling is all about. They might talk about it in the anime at some point.
