Like every instalment of Hammer & Bolter, this is a standalone tale, a chance to visit a shadowed corner of the vast setting. Unlike previous episodes, however, Return to Cadia is a fully rendered 3D animation in the style of recent Warhammer shows like Pariah Nexus and The Tithes.

 

Available later this month.

Styling indicates it's another M2 Animation project, which is nice - although I'm now curious to see what else they'll have out this year. Pariah Nexus S2 was confirmed a while back, but they'll presumably be producing another trailer for Heresy as well.

Why does everyone want to go back to Cadia?

The Cadian system is now the primary port for indomitus fleet secondus as it blockades the larger part of the eye of terror:yes:

 

Only cadia prime and the prison planet were destroyed.. the other populated planets are there (abandon didn't even destroy the prison planet the imperium did:laugh:). 

 

I wonder if failbadon has realised the chain of events he started has set about the awakening and empowerment of the Emperor:laugh:

To add to @Emperor Ming's post; a lot of the Kasr's survived (now represented in the trailer) and function as station-fortresses now. So whilst Cadia Prime itself is destroyed there's still a very, very threatening defensive network in the system.

"Look we progressed the storyline and destroyed Cadia"

 

"Yeah its actually pretty much still there lol"

 

In a galaxy of 100 billion stars, and an empire of a million worlds, we got this place called Cadia for ya. Best we can do.

Where is that from? I didn't realize until now that enough of the planet survived to still be usable in this way.

"The names of their targets are ancient, known to every slave child of the Eye and murmured by every cult-priest over every altar. Cadia. Nemesis Tessera. Belis Corona. Scellus." The Lords of Silence (Wraight, 272)

 

I get that Cadia is a famous name, a recognizable part of the larger brand but there are other worlds in the sector, any of which could be the setting for an awesome 40K story. Maybe in the future when they feel that the story is better established?

‘Creed: Ashes of Cadia’ by Jude Reid covers it. Don’t want to spoil it but there’s sizeable chunks of Cadia left, but they’re very much a Daemonworld at the point the novel is set.

Whatever they meet in the Hammer & Bolter episode, it’s not likely to make them a cup of tea.

Lol. So much for narrative progression. 

 

Does this mean we get a 14th Black Crusade then? 

 

Kudos for GW having literally the entire galaxy to play with and choosing to ignore 99.9% of it. Takes guts to be that stupid and/or lazy.

Cadia being turned into a chaos stronghold is also referenced in the 9th edition rulebook. Seems they really liked the idea of war between planetary shards, which honestly does sound interesting.

It's surprisingly hard to blow a planet up, even if you smash it to bits, all the stuff will still be there and the breathable atmosphere will remain as a cloud around most of those bits - perhaps a little thinner than before depending on how disperse the remains of the planet are for now.

 

It's not like air being held inside a rubber balloon by gravity that will pop and instantly disperse, but more like helium in a foil balloon or an airship which is really just being collated into roughly one place by a largely intact bag.

 

The remnants of the world that was Cadia will continue to orbit roughly around where the centre of mass of Cadia once was, until they start to rejoin and collide with one another. Add in human intervention, void shields and erratic local orbital conditions as the various fractions pull each other back in against the force of the shockwave that separated them and perhaps the whole process could take decades to centuries.

Absolutely agreed.

 

Just would be nice if GW could explore more than three planets. I love Armageddon, but we don't need another war for Armageddon; same applies to Cadia - there are other, important planets within the Cadian system and sector, or even other worlds around. GW just ignores the fact that the Imperium isn't three specific planets in a trenchcoat - I get why, because they love money, but it's still frustrating to see them plunder the same things over and over when they could easily create some more interesting new elements of the setting. There are plenty of shadowed parts of the galaxy where a war between planetary shards could have happened.

Cadian Cuckoo Clocks are on sale this year. So FOMO is hitting the people real hard in that stretch of the galaxy.
