Rat assassins and prize-winning painters fill Warhammer's week
Deathmaster's story trailer joins an Arkanaut finale preview and Maxime Penaud's third Slayer Sword celebration.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster – Story Trailer
Vihneek has platforms to scale, enemy ratmen to evade and a hulking spiked war machine in his path. "Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster – Story Trailer" was the most watched of Warhammer's thirteen uploads this week, reaching about 280,000 views.
The official channel's promotional trailer mixes illustrated cinematics with early alpha gameplay: wall clings, blade strikes and leaps through cavernous shafts. Its closing reveal gives the stealth platformer a 2027 release date. Viewers are picking out the defaced Sigmar statue, the mechanical monster and the bell tolls, while several adopt the Skaven's familiar doubled-up speech in their replies.
But the week wasn't all knives in the dark. Arkanaut's third episode, "Dark Kindred", received both a trailer and an extract, while Warhammer Academy offered lore and painting lessons for Adeptus Custodes and Salamanders, plus a demonstration using the Oath Fulfilled commemorative miniature. These are previews and demonstrations of Warhammer's games, subscription programming and hobby products.
The channel added roughly 10,000 subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is currently well below its usual level. Among nearby publisher and esports channels, VALORANT Champions Tour had the larger weekly views gain; Marvel Rivals and Wild Rift had quieter weeks than Warhammer.
The freshest momentum belongs to the painting desk. Angelo Di Chello's Roadshow appearance is currently the channel's busiest upload, with his diorama, motivation and dwarfs on the agenda. The older Golden Demon roundup is also drawing views, alongside an interview with Maxime Penaud after he collected his third Slayer Sword at SPIEL Essen. Between the assassin and the artisans, the tiny figures have had a full week.
