“I have loved ‘Warhammer‘ since I was boy, making this moment truly special for me. The opportunity to shepherd this cinematic universe from its inception is quite an honour and responsibility.

Games Workshop’s game series ‘Warhammer 40,000‘ follows a universe where there is only war and suffering with the prevalence of moral ambiguity.
There have been several attempts at adapting the game in other media but all of them have been unable to enjoy the success of the video games. An animated film ‘Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie‘ was released in 2010 and showed several iconic chapters in the game universe.
A series titled ‘Angels of Death‘, produced by the ‘Warhammer‘ TV team, was released in 2021.
