Alright, Warhammer fans, buckle up because we’ve got some epic details on the upcoming Warhammer TV animation The Tithes! The first episode, titled Sacrifice, is dropping soon, and the trailer has just dropped, giving us a glimpse into this new chapter of the 41st Millennium. Let’s break it down, shall we?
First things first, the animation looks absolutely stunning. We’re talking about the vast ruins of an Imperial city, complete with a jaw-dropping shot of a colossal bridge. And if that wasn’t enough to get your blood pumping, ominous Necron obelisks are popping up everywhere. Turns out, building a hive city on an ancient xenos graveyard wasn’t the best idea. Who knew, right?
Space Marines on a Mission
We see an Ultramarine and a Salamander trying to figure out what happened to an Ultramarines detachment that mysteriously vanished while defending the world. I mean, a whole demi-company of armoured giants doesn’t just disappear! The stakes are high as they try to recover their brothers’ armour and weapons, which are precious relics in their own right.
The Vital Progenoid Glands
Reclaiming the bodies of fallen Space Marines is crucial because each warrior carries progenoid glands – the genetic inheritance vital for the future of their Chapter. Apothecaries go to great lengths to collect these organs even in the heat of battle. Losing too many could spell doom for the Chapter. Plus, this genetic tithe is essential for maintaining the purity and creation of new Chapters. The Ultramarines’ gene-seed is particularly prized for its stability, which is why they have so many Successor Chapters.
The Sneaky Purpose of the Genetic Tithe
Here’s the kicker – this tithe also helps to limit the growth of Space Marine Chapters, ensuring they don’t get too powerful. Chapters that try to dodge this tithe face some pretty grim consequences. Let’s just say, history shows that unchecked Space Marine power is not a good thing.
A Familiar Face
The Salamander featured in this story is none other than Sa’kan, our favorite one-armed son of Nocturne, who made a name for himself in the Pariah Nexus animation. His presence is sure to add some serious weight to the narrative.
Trailer Tease
The trailer also pays homage to the red-helmed Space Marine Sergeant who made a heroic entrance in the ninth edition cinematic trailer. His story took a tragic turn in Pariah Nexus, and now it seems the Necrons have sinister plans for his body. Poor guy, can’t catch a break.
What’s Next?
Get ready for The Tithes: Sacrifice to hit Warhammer TV soon, available for all Warhammer+ subscribers. Episodes two and three are set to follow, each exploring different aspects of the Imperial Tithe on distant worlds.
To get in the zone, why not rewatch the Warhammer 40,000 Cinematic trailer on YouTube and catch Pariah Nexus on Warhammer TV? This series is shaping up to be a must-watch for any Warhammer fan, diving deep into the gritty, oppressive reality of the Imperium’s survival mechanisms. Don’t miss out!
