Astartes II Looks a Lot Like a Space Hulk Animation in New Trailer
Games Workshop has released a new trailer for Astartes II, a highly anticipated Warhammer 40,000 animation. The sequel features Deathwatch units and Terminators, drawing significant aesthetic inspiration from the classic Space Hulk tabletop game.
Why it matters
Astartes is considered a landmark project in fan-made animation, and its official integration into the Warhammer franchise represents a significant moment for gaming community content.
Games Workshop has released a new trailer for Astartes II, the most anticipated Warhammer 40,000 animation ever.
For the uninitiated, the original Astartes was created by superfan Syama Pedersen, who was subsequently brought into the fold to make the official sequel. Astartes is widely accepted as the greatest Warhammer 40,000 animation ever made, official or unofficial, with only Amazon’s excellent Space Marine 2 animation for the Secret Level anthology series competing with it in quality terms. Indeed, Astartes was so good that it inspired Saber Interactive’s hugely successful Space Marine 2 in terms of the look and feel of the Space Marines themselves.
