If you ever started the Blacktalon animation on Warhammer+ and lost track halfway through, this one's for you. Games Workshop just put the whole animated saga together into one long supercut called Blacktalon: Final Cut, and it runs a full 3 hours and 36 minutes. That's basically a long movie night, or two or three painting sessions with something good on the second screen. If you want to look at Neave on the table too, her Neave Blacktalon model is out there.
What Blacktalon is about
Blacktalon is an Age of Sigmar animated series, and it follows Neave Blacktalon. Warhammer Community calls her "one of Sigmar's greatest Stormcast assassins", and that's a good way to put it. She's not the big hammer-and-shield type you see on the front of every Age of Sigmar box. She's the one Sigmar sends to hunt down a target and finish the job.
The hook of the show is her past. Neave has a fractured past that even she can't piece together, and across the saga you watch her slowly get her memories back. On top of that there are big fights, betrayals and a lot of plotting, while Neave and her team battle Nurgle's corruption across the Mortal Realms. And the whole time, her missing memories keep pulling at the back of her mind, while a looming shadow watches her struggle "with malevolent interest", as WarCom puts it. I'm not going to spoil who or what that shadow is. Go watch it.
Who are the Stormcast Eternals, quickly
If you mostly play 40k like me, here's the short version. The Stormcast Eternals are Sigmar's warriors in Age of Sigmar. They're mortal heroes taken up by Sigmar and remade into armoured champions who fight for him across the Mortal Realms. When a Stormcast falls, they don't stay dead: they get sent back to be made again, and that has a cost. Pieces of who they were can get lost along the way. You can see why a story about a Stormcast who can't remember her own past works so well, it's built right into what these guys are.
Nurgle, if you're new, is the Chaos god of plague, rot and decay. His followers spread disease and corruption everywhere they go, so a show about a team trying to stop that corruption spreading is a pretty classic Age of Sigmar setup. It's the good stuff.
What Warhammer+ is
Warhammer+ is Games Workshop's own subscription service. It's where their animations live, Blacktalon included, along with other shows and extras for the hobby. It's paid, so you need an active sub to watch the supercut. If you already have one, Final Cut is just sitting there waiting for you. If you don't, a supercut like this is honestly one of the better reasons to try it, because you get the whole story in one go instead of picking through episodes.

Why a supercut is handy
I like this a lot, to be honest. Shows that come out in pieces are easy to drop. You watch two episodes, life happens, and three months later you don't remember who betrayed who. With one long cut you just press play and it goes. WarCom's own tip is to grab some popcorn and do it in one marathon, or put it on in the background while you paint up your own Stormcast Eternals. That second one is how I'd do it. Three and a half hours is perfect for getting through a batch of models, and you'll probably end up looking up more than you planned.
If watching it gives you the itch to start Age of Sigmar, the easy way in is a Stormcast Eternals Spearhead box. It's a small, cheap army that plays a full game and it's all the guys you see in the show, gold armour and all.
Should you watch it?
If you play Stormcast, yes, obviously, it's your army on screen. If you play anything else in Age of Sigmar, it's still a good look at the setting, the Mortal Realms and how nasty Nurgle's side gets. And if you're a 40k player like me who only knows Age of Sigmar from the side, it's a pretty easy way to get into the setting without reading a whole rulebook first.
And if you'd rather read than watch, Black Library has a big shelf of Age of Sigmar novels that go deeper into the Mortal Realms. That's more my speed after a long day, but for a painting night, put the Final Cut on and get the brushes out.
