State of Play

Oi Boyz!

Whatz da score? We are nearing the final days of 2021, and what a year it has been for us! With the year ending we’d like to give you an update on everything Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef related we’ve shown so far, taking you back to our first announcement trailer on Skulls 2021 and going over the monthly developer updates. We’ll also be touching on the things you can expect from us in 2022, so if you want to know more about that, make sure to read until the end!

Skulls 2021

Okay, so let’s go back to the beginning of June, and Skulls 2021, the biggest online Warhammer event there is. An hour and a half of Warhammer goodness, and our trailer was in there! We still can’t believe it! Before this event the game had been a secret held close to our hearts, and we were super excited to finally share our newest project with the world. A lot of questions popped to mind, especially the curiosity of how the community would react to the newest addition in our portfolio and the Warhammer universe.

Then our moment was there. The Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef trailer came on! Our hearts stopped for a whole minute and six seconds, reading every comment passing by in the comment section on Twitch. It was flooded with positive comments! The weight on our shoulders lifted, and was replaced with relief and excitement!

If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, or you just want to watch it again for the hundredth time, here you go:

This was the starting point of it all. The weeks following we started sharing more information through monthly developer updates and the rumour engine, showing snippets of the game.

Dev Updates - Factions

Over the course of the past months we’ve shared more information on the factions/alliances that have made it into Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef. These factions are the Astra Militarum, the Genestealer Cult, the Orks and the Space Marines.

For those who’ve missed the previous developer updates, here’s a quick summary of what has been spoiled. Links to the previous articles are added for those who want to get the complete picture.

Astra Militarum

The Astra Militarum was the first faction we’ve shown back in August. They are the largest fighting force in the Warhammer 40,000 universe and will be prominently present throughout the game. What is an Ork game without some humans to smash, right? You’ll get your fair share of smashing their heads in and pumping them full with lead.

More information and background lore can be found in August’s post where we’ve discussed every Astra Militarum unit.

Genestealer Cult

In September we continued with the Genestealer Cult, a group of terrifying mutants who worship the Xenos and work to undermine the planet's defenses so their alien Gods can devour it. The Genestealers do have some tanky and robust fellas in their ranks. For instance the Aberrant who just would love to smash in your face with his two-handed power hammer. Another unit is the ever so lethal Metamorph who will charge onto with shank and dynamite in hand.

Orks

Then we continued with a fan favourite in October, or should we say Orktober! The mighty, the savage, the fierce Orks! Truth be told they are probably our favourite faction otherwise we wouldn’t have
