New trailer for Warhammer 40,000 animation Aeronautica Imperialis

The braziers are still hot from the LAST Warhammer 40,000 animation that concluded only a few hours ago, and we’re already looking ahead to the next action-packed story from the 41st Millennium.

Aeronautica Imperialis is a new animation that pits the dogged pilots of the Imperial Navy against the alien reflexes of Aeldari from Craftworld Saim-Hann. This is a tale of dogfights, daring and a brutal war of attrition in the skies above a frozen world. Today, we can confirm a few details about the show.

Aeronautica Imperialis will be a three-part animated series, and the first one lands in just a few weeks! Along with the action-packed trailer, we have a few screenshots from the series for you.

Kae is one of the pilots we’ll follow in the series. Attrition rates are high among the Imperial Navy, so while we can confirm that Kae is an excellent pilot, maybe don’t get too attached?

This is Idranith, one of Craftworld Saim-Hann’s lethal Nightwing pilots. Compared to the rugged and brutalist interior of the Thunderbolts, his seating arrangements look practically luxurious (though we’re sure they will look decidedly less fancy if they ever take a direct barrage from a Thunderbolt's autocannon array).

Aeronautica Imperialis is set for release in May, and will be available to watch on Warhammer TV as part of your Warhammer+ subscription. While you’re waiting for takeoff, please ensure your table is in the upright position, and head back to our AdeptiCon Preview hub to catch up on the rest of today’s reveals.
