Hammer and Bolter

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.

Half the series was my cup of tea , one episode i gave up in 3 min.

I like it gave me an idea what the warhammer world is about. I knew nothing about it and i like the craziness .

Recommended.

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.

Hammer and Bolter does a great job in rendering the grim, hopeless universe of Warhammer 40,000, but can't hide some of its biggest flaws.

The episodes range from self-contained adventures of unnamed characters to events that intersect major plot points and figures already established in the books, and I think Farside Features completely nails the atmosphere in each episode, mixing the over-the-top essence of each situation with a subtle hint of dark humour.

When it comes to visual quality, Hammer and Bolter mixes static background paintings with moving characters, much akin to the "saturday morning cartoons" many of us grew up watching - a choice that not everyone will like, but isn't a flaw per se.

However, it is easy to see how some episodes rely too much on the story and too little on the actual animation, resulting in something that looks more like TV comics than actual "cartoons", and might be underwhelming for some viewers.

However, every episode, even the most flawed, has some redeeming quality. I would say Hammer and Bolter is worth a watch.

It is unfortunate that such a good story telling, and all the charachter development goes to waste. We 40k fans are basically thirsty for any sort of content and we apreciate it. This was grim dark indeed, but the lack of good animation and cheap production which is outcome of the terrible GWs ways resulted in having an average show which would have been much more. Frankly GW is one of the worst companies (if not the worst) when it comes to fan support. That being said I apreciate GW being so strict on the lore, not making it woke or soft or just chaning it toward's nowadays media test; but this is not enough. GW... I say this in the most humble of manners, I have never seen an IP in which the fans and the copy-right owner are so separated, People love the IP which great passion, yet most of the fans utterly hate GW. I know you like money and all, but making 40k fans hate you is not the way to go. In the past you have done shocking blow to the fandom and content creators, that cant be forgotton. But there is still hope, you can make money and make peace with the fans if only you change your ways a bit. In any case, I am looking forward to see any 40k content, hope it gets better in the future.
