Warhammer+ is gearing up to deliver something truly special with Sigmar’s Toll, a new animated series that promises to shake up the Mortal Realms.
Coming from the same creative team behind Pariah Nexus and The Tithes, this series is the first Age of Sigmar animation presented in a fully realistic style. Fans will finally see the realms in all their grim, dark glory, with visuals that make the battles, landscapes, and characters feel more alive than ever before. For long-time viewers, this is a perfect chance to immerse themselves in the ongoing narrative while newcomers get an intense, cinematic entry point into Age of Sigmar.
A Story Rooted in the Current Timeline
The series dives right into the heart of the current Age of Sigmar storyline, focusing on the chaotic rise of the Skaven and the gradual decline of the Stormcast Eternals. For anyone who has kept up with the tabletop game or novels, this is essential viewing. The stakes are high, the realms are under threat, and the series promises to capture the tension and desperation of the ongoing battles. As someone who’s followed the evolving lore, seeing the Stormcast struggle in animation adds a layer of tragedy and urgency that you simply can’t get from a codex alone.
Leodus: A Familiar Hero
The trailer gives us our main character, Leodus, a Knight-Questor of the Hallowed Knights. If you read Skaventide last year, this character will be immediately recognizable. Knight-Questors are unique among the Stormcast because they receive visions directly from Sigmar, setting them on divine quests. This means the series won’t just focus on battles but on Leodus’ personal journey and the moral weight of enforcing the God-King’s will. With Chaos spreading across the realms, the quests are anything but safe, and seeing them played out in cinematic detail is a treat for fans who love the intersection of lore and action.
What to Expect and When
Sigmar’s Toll is a concise, three-part series set to release this September. It will be exclusive to Warhammer+ subscribers on Warhammer TV, so fans will need access to the platform to catch the full story. The three-part format suggests a tightly focused narrative, which should make it easy to follow even if you aren’t completely up to date on all the lore. For experienced players, it will be fun to see familiar characters and factions in a new light, while the realistic animation promises to set a new standard for Warhammer media.
Final Thoughts
For anyone who lives and breathes Age of Sigmar, Sigmar’s Toll looks set to be a must-watch. It brings together cinematic animation, deep lore, and high stakes in a way that feels faithful to the game while pushing the visual experience forward. Seeing Leodus navigate divine visions and mortal dangers will make both fans of the novels and tabletop players feel invested. With the threat of Chaos looming and the Stormcast Eternals tested like never before, this series promises to deliver both spectacle and story. Mark your calendars for September because the Mortal Realms are about to get real.
