I had a look around and couldn't find a specific thread used to discuss new animations as they drop and speculate on future animation.

Interrogator Episode 6:

I just finished watching Episode 6 of Interrogator. I liked this episode better than episode 5. I didn't expect this show to become so Psyker focused. Pretty cool.

I half wonder if it is going to end with Jurgen imploding and destroying the planet, or becoming some kind of insane warlord like in the age of strife. The dark imperium does kinda feel like it's heading in the direction.

I'm also starting to wonder if Jurgen is a reliable narrator or not. Baldur could be fine, just knocked out, but because Jurgen is so messed up in the head he assumes he killed him. It almost seems like it was intended to be ambiguous with the way he teleports around.

Future Animation:

—Astartes 2—

It feels like Syama Pedersen has completed Astartes 2 judging by his Instagram, and he is still posting about Warhammer stuff, so I think that is a good sign that working for GW and Warhammer officially was a Positive experience for him. At the very least he still genuinely loves and enjoys Warhammer.

I think Astartes 2 will most likely drop some time after August and be used as a hook to get people to subscribe for the second year. Hopefully we will be seeing it before christmas.

There are two other shows that I think the community has been sleeping on a bit. Altar of Wrath and Iron Within. They look visually amazing

—Altar of Wrath—

"After a grinding war of attrition, the last Black Templars of a Crusade seek to strike a final, decisive blow against the Necrons to end the battle for good."



And:

—Iron within—

"When beleaguered Astra Militarum forces face annihilation, they must turn to salvation from a most unlikely source. Is the enemy of your enemy really your friend?"



If they can get hold of a talented animator or a good mocap suit then they have a lot of potential honestly. Maybe nearing the quality of Astartes. Having the Warhammer Storyforge Professional writing team and Voice acting team behind these projects is also a huge help for CGI fan animators which usually struggle a lot in that regard.


—Black Talon—

"A notorious hunter is unleashed to slay Sigmar’s most grievous foes – but the secrets of Neave Blacktalon’s past follow wherever she treads, even beyond death."

Haven't seen much about this, but looks interesting, perhaps more anime like than other shows





— — — — —

Broken Lance, Pariah Nexus, and High Lords we have seen pretty much nothing for so it's hard to really speculate on any of them. Hopefully we will see something of them around August, as well as some new shows announced.

—Broken lance—

"Towering war machines stride the battlefield in a drama that sees the survivors of a once-noble house of Imperial Knights facing the sins of their predecessors."

Has the potential to be good since knights are always fun. Just got to hope the animation team is up to the task.

Honestly even if its just epic Mecha battle porn with a slapped on crap story that would be fething great.

—High Lords—

"Politics and treachery abound in the Imperial Palace. For ten thousand years, the High Lords have governed the Imperium in the Emperor’s stead. Such power brings corruption, intrigue, and danger to all who would grasp it."

No idea. Sounds talking heavy so perhaps less action orientated and more like game of throne's political intrigue?

—Pariah Nexus—

"Explore silence and death in the darkest corners of the galaxy. As the Indomitus Crusade reaches the Pariah Nexus, strength and faith will be tested to the limit."

I actually think we might have seen something of this one, but it isn't labelled as being Pariah Nexus so it could be something else.





The first image is perhaps Pariah Nexus, and maybe the second? They were captured from the animation preview trailer which showed a second long shot of each. I would say they are from Altar of Wrath as that also features Necrons, but the style is a bit different.




If they do drop a trailer around August for W+ year 2 it will be cool to see if we get to see more and if there are new shows being developed.
