Armageddon: Trench warfare animation

The recent Commissar Yarrick animation is awesome in the grittiest, grimdark way. 

One of our favourite scenes is the section where the Death Korps of Krieg sound the advance and go “over the top”, charging fearlessly from the relative safety of their trench and into the teef of inaccurate, but plentiful, Ork dakka. In all likelihood, running to their deaths. 

In the original animation, this is a bit of a “blink, and you’ll miss it” moment, so we thought you might like to see it in glorious s-l-o-w m-o-t-i-o-n.

Amazing stuff! Big thanks to our partners at M2 Animation, whose talented teams put together this great scene. Watch more of their work over on Warhammer TV.

This is just one of the many desperate actions taking place across the war-ravaged world of Armageddon – currently one of the most hotly contested planets in the galaxy!

The Armageddon: The Return of Yarrick expansion, which details the spirited defence of the planet, is available to pre-order now – and of course, the upcoming new edition of Warhammer 40,000 also takes place on this iconic war world. You’ll see the full details of what’s in THAT box on Friday.
