A new Warhammer animation trailer just landed, and it finally puts real names to what is coming next.
So, instead of vague hints, we now know exactly what to expect. There is also fresh footage included, which helps sell the tone immediately. As a result, Warhammer animation is clearly gearing up for a strong year.
Three confirmed animations with very different vibes
This announcement confirms three Warhammer 40,000 animations arriving in the coming months. Adepta Sororitas: Penitence and Aeronautica are both three part series, coming from teams behind Pariah Nexus and The Tithes. Penitence puts the Adepta Sororitas front and center, which means faith, fury, and bolter fire. Meanwhile, Aeronautica widens the lens with Orks, the Imperial Navy, and Aeldari sharing the spotlight, which strongly hints at aerial warfare and chaotic battlefields.
Butcher’s Nails takes a different approach. It is a single Hammer and Bolter style episode, and it sounds designed for maximum brutality in minimum time. So, rather than a slow burn, expect a sharp blast of violence that gets in and gets out.
What else is coming and when it starts
The animation slate does not stop there. The trailer also confirms more shows later in 2026, including the long awaited return of Astartes. That alone raises expectations across the board. The action begins next month with the first episode of Adepta Sororitas: Penitence, which will be available on Warhammer TV for Warhammer+ subscribers.
Alongside the new animations, Warhammer TV is still rolling out weekly content. So, you can also catch Painting Desk episodes showing off high end dioramas, and Deep Strike discussions covering recent DK Warhammer books.
Summary
Overall, this reveal locks in a varied and confident animation lineup. You get focused mini series, a brutal one off, and a major fan favorite returning later. Because of that, Warhammer animation in 2026 is shaping up to be one of the strongest years yet.
