Syama Pedersen, a New Zealand 3D artist, released two teasers ahead of the Astartes sequel premiere scheduled for December on Warhammer+.

Background

The first Astartes short demonstrated how a dynamic, detail-rich narrative can be conveyed without dialogue, created by a single professional artist end-to-end.

Production

Syama Pedersen from New Zealand directed, modeled and animated the five initial episodes entirely on his own over the project's duration.

External assistance was limited to sound design and original music, both added during later stages of post-production.

Timeline and scope

The project comprises 5 episodes with a combined runtime of 13 minutes; production reportedly took about 3 years from start to the teaser releases.

Teasers and release

Two teasers accompanied the announcement ahead of a December premiere on Warhammer+; the series' final episode count and total runtime remain unconfirmed.

The second teaser includes footage from the upcoming episodes, while the earlier teaser focused on conveying atmosphere rather than extracts from the series.
