Game Adaptation News: Warhammer 40K ; Zombie Army: Legion of the Dead

The launch of the Warhammer Plus streaming service is nearly upon us, and to help celebrate, the streamer had released the premiere episode of Hammer and Bolter. The anthology series showcased the first episode entitled “Old Bale Eye” which tells the tale of Thraka versus Yarrick in a battle to the death! For those that missed it, I’ve been seeing some Youtubers featuring the premiere episode of which we plan to review later this week.

Warhammer Plus launches August 25 for $5.99 a month.

Zombie Army is a fun premise for a game. Imagine if Hitler and his army came back as zombies which leads to a super fun 3PS action game that leads to a heck of a lot of giggles. Even with Rebellion releasing a CG animated short film entitled “Legion of the Dead”, the plot is really quite hilarious, and I think a full-length could be made out of this.

This animated short follows the daughter of a Nigerian barrister and educated in the UK, Shola volunteered in a munitions factory at the outbreak of the second world war, but when the undead turned the conflict into a battle between the living and the undead, she was assigned to the Italian campaign where she joined an unlikely band of misfit warriors. In this new mission, Shola is vastly outnumbered and her survival is far from guaranteed. The mission? Shola has to destroy a beacon summoning hordes of Nazi zombies.

Let’s goooooo!
