The Tithes

Beautiful cinematic masterpiece. Very nice to see all the minis coming to life as truthful as they can get. Nice voice lines, good graphics, effects, setting etc. There is only one "but" and all the fans of the Warhammer francize know it. If you are referencing everything in this series from books and official lore, why not stick to it without feministic point of view? Why the need to change history to appeal to greater audience who don't even stick to francize as true fans do? Your reviews show this and it's time you listen to people and learn from mistakes of others.

There were no female Custodians, and you should respect this masterpiece as it was meant to be respected. It feels off and it ruined whole TV series for me. I keep wondering if this series was ever gonna happen if you didn't change the lore for female Custodians to exist, and that is so sad... Such a huge cult following and you still need to prove points to God knows who.

We are here to support, respect the thing we love and we will reward you as we did many times and keep rewarding it.

Hence 7 and it would be lower if you don't keep in mind how artists tried their best to get this project alive and to make it look as good as it does.

I've been playing Warhammer since rogue trader in the 1980s, so I had to give this a watch. It was disappointing overall but I can't say it was terrible.

I really liked the first episode, like a lot, 8 out of ten. Animation has some weak points but story and action was good. I wanted to know more about the backstory and what happened later to the characters.

On the other hand I absolutely hated the second episode, 2 out of ten, and that's being generous, bad voice acting, weird animation and lore breaking writing. It felt more like fanfiction made by a gender studies major for a HR department slideshow than a Warhammer story.

Episode three was ok, 6 out of 10, interesting story choices with grim dark take on bureaucracy but animation seemed a bit cartoony with the orks parts and it just needed more polish to be done.

Overall mid, 5 out of 10.

I LOVE IT. Nails it as an anthology series, mixing solid animation with gripping storytelling to welcome new fans into the dark, chaotic universe of Warhammer 40K. Each episode dives into a different story, all told from humanity's perspective, showing the brutal sacrifices people make in a burning galaxy where there's only war. The anthology format works great here-it's like getting bite-sized pieces of lore without the info overload, perfect for newcomers.

The animation? Not mind-blowing, but it gets the job done. It nails the grim, gritty vibe you expect from Warhammer 40K, setting the right tone for each story. But the real MVP is the dialogue. The writing is sharp, the characters feel real, and each story has those intense moments that pull you in. They picked some great stories to showcase, hitting that sweet spot of epic battles, personal struggle, and the iconic dark tone fans crave.

All the stories are from humanity's perspective, which is cool, but it'd be nice to see some other factions get a turn in the spotlight. The Warhammer universe is massive, and there's so much more to explore than just the humans' point of view.

As for the lore tweaks, yeah, there's been some drama, especially around the introduction of female Custodes. Honestly? Not a big deal. Gender doesn't change who the Custodes are or how they function, and it doesn't take anything away from the Sisters of Silence. Speaking of, it's awesome to finally see the Sisters done right, complete with sign language that makes them feel even more real and badass.

This anthology feels like a love letter to the franchise. It brings the grimdark world to life while making it more accessible, which is exactly what the community needs right now. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just dipping your toes in, this series has something for you. It's time to stop fighting over minor changes and celebrate what makes this universe so awesome.

Congrats on being sell outs.

Let us got through it. If you had the minimal amount of taste. You could've opened up google and search for "powerful female characters in 40k" it doesn't really require intelligence.

If you'd do that you'd see the first result is from reddit from 7 years ago called "What are some female badass characters in 40k". (not to mention, that's only the first result) You could then comb through the history of 40k and bring out and honor some cool existing characters that are girls/women in 40k. But instead you chose to pander to the 1% of people who never even touched any of the games tabletop or video games or any of the lore.

I hope your pockets are full and satisfied, cause you're a bunch of sell-outs.

Besides that I value directors such as Denis Villeneuve, Scorsese, Chris Nolan, Ridley Scott, Quentin Tarantino and many other proper directors.

I am proper cinephile and what you people do is a ravenous insult to the arts.

OMG. Where are they going with this softer, gentler WH?

Episode 1 is sensational. I loved it. But the second...... oh wow. There is a reason its not listed here, I presume.

All I kept imagining is this Custodes walking around and people all assuming she is man, while she insists to be called "ma'am". I mean come on, she is just silly. How can you take this huge masculine chin thing with breasts seriously? What is it supposed to be? It's certainly not an improvement. A female, even a huge one is weaker than males of the same size. So why would they make it? It would be worse at guarding the Emperor. What do they give him lap dance?

It starts out with two Space Marines sniveling to each other about how sad they are that they would never get to do art, and write poetry or something. It actually could have been a decent show if not for the disturbing "female" creature.

Really, the second episode is a failure in every way. Really pushing the agenda, in my opinion.

And seriously, everyone knows Custodes were never women. Old paper books that they can not change because they are not online all call them men, over and over. I have no idea why the makers of WH felt the need to tell such an obvious untruth. Im sure they are looking to improve their inclusivity scores, and Sisters of Silence, and sisters of Battle arent good enough, because they arent bossing people around. They want a girlboss that puts men in their place. So they chose Custodes. This can do nothing but lose them valuable customers. It's not going to win anyone over, because everyone is tired of the G boss.

You know they never said Custodes couldn't be orks tho...
