What about an animated series for Warhammer?

[Emmanuelexe]

Seeing all the good animations and cutscenes of Warhammer + the awesome Lore and stories, i was thinking, what about if the people who made the games made a real series (animation or 3D, not movie) of Warhammer?
I know just a part of the Lore (there is so much to read, i have to continue to read it, it's really well made) but i think Warhammer could be so fun to watch in a real series but maybe not a good idea when you see how videogames movies or animations fail hard nowadays.... I don't know, what do you think about it? Just curious!

Two major flaws with that.

Firstly; the one time Games Workshop tried to make (or at least commission) a movie, we got the 40k film Ultramarines. Which was absolute crap. The best-looking 40k movie in the works at the moment is Lord Inquisitor and that started off as a fan project. Still is, in a sense, the creator's just getting help from Aaron Dembski-Bowden (one of the authors who's written novels for the Black Library).

Secondly, and perhaps more crucially; Warhammer Fantasy was cancelled by Games Workshop back in 2015 as it wasn't selling well. It only exists now as an IP they license out now and then (mostly for video games so far, like Mordheim, Vermintide, and the TW trilogy). To my knowledge, they haven't even published any Warhammer Fantasy novels since then either and I'm pretty sure the ones they did have are no longer available from the Black Library, forcing people who want to read novels set in that universe to rely on second-hand book dealers or the like.

Many are available as ebook on sites like amazon now. Don't think that was always the case, but if people want to read them they can still buy them.

Paper will of course be always superior.
