Hammer and Bolter

It's a different animation style and one which allows GW to produce much more content as it's far cheaper than the styles in Astartes or Angels of Death. It's the kind of thing I've dreamed of since I got into 40k in the mid 90s so I'm loving it.

Let's get this out of the way.

The animation is substandard, which is a shame, as everything else about this series is great!

Anyone not familiar with 40K will probably struggle to understand all of the episodes, as some of them are deep rooted in lore.

The writing, sound design, voice acting and art stye are all really good.

I'm a big 40K fan and really enjoyed it, just a shame about the animation.

As another review said, and I think it's valid, is this it at times feels more like a slideshow than actual animation.

Each episode is a different story sometimes they are fun other times they are very serious so the tonal shifts are all over the place. Apart from the fact that they are all in the 40K universe, there just isn't enough of a through line of character to explain it as an anthology. Angels of Death is better and shows how bargain basement this is but that's hardly perfect either.

Most fan films for Warhammer are better than this.

Some of the stories that are covered are interesting but it's more of an audiobook than a TV show. Hammer and Bolter has the quality of a animation without any animators.

This show is the perfect example of you get what you paid for because this show clearly didn't pay any animators. It's basically a powerpoint presentation with pretty solid voice acting. It's a real shame, because the universe deserves more and the stories are overall decent to amazing depending on which episode you're watching. We fans deserves better and the IP deserves and NEEDS BETTER FROM GW!
