With the Astartes II Trailer for Warhammer+ being revealed, it’s hotly debate what the animated sequel to the thrilling Astartes will contain.
Join us as we break down the Astartes II trailer and examine what those reveals might entail.
What Does the Trailer Show?
Blood Angels Are Back
It seems like the Blood Angels are back and in a big way. Many scenes from the Astartes II trailer seem to feature the beloved Space Marine chapter front and center, which means we’ll be treated to plenty of sword-swinging, jump-packing, violent melee action.
Heretic Astartes
For a brief shot in the trailer we see Space Marine looking over a blurred crowd below, raising a fist. Could this potentially be a Chaos Space Marine legion, and if so – what legion?
Firstborn Astartes
The space marines featured in the trailer are clearly firstborn astartes, and not the primaris marines we’ve been so used to seeing in the modern setting. This sends a clear message to lifelong fans that Games Workshop hasn’t forgotten about previous canon set away from the primaris line of astartes.
More To Come
In the next few months it’s likely more information will be revealed about the Astartes II trailer, so stay tuned for our deeper dive into the trailer and what it could mean for the franchise as a whole.
