This is the first video made for a noir-styled web series set in the grim dark future of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, deep in the bowels of one of the countless hive cities that are home to billions throughout the galaxy.  We can only assume there must be at least one film gumshoe antihero type who’s out to crack a case and make a buck in the process.

That grimdark gumshoe is none other than Griff Stubber, fixer for hire. 

Episode Summary

In this case Griff is presented with the task of tracking down and returning a young wayward uphiver at the behest of a noble family’s agent. As the plot unfolds we find that the uphiver is up to know good and Griff is going to need some backup from a local gang that’s always looking to improve their reputation with the movers and shakers in the Spire. 

The good doctor

Meet the downhive doc that just wants to make everyone a better version of themselves. Who doesn’t want four arms?

Denizens of the hive

Griff along with Harlowe, his sidekick with a haunted past, shake the hab-domes trolling for clues from hive-dwellers who’d rather not squawk.

Inner monologue

Griff lets his bolt pistol and power fist do most of his talking.

House Goliath dandies

Who said tough guys can’t be fancy? The Big Wigs only show up to sip tea and crush sumpers, and they’re all out of darjeeling.

The series is made using photos of miniatures from the collections of Games Workshop miniatures of myself and a few friends, for more on the making of the videos and other elements and characters from the series, check out the Behind the Scenes posts.
