Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon trailer revealed!

Get ready to fight for the planet of Armageddon. Follow closely the words of the Imperial Inquisitor Horst. In his transmission, he introduces you to the Warhammer 40,000 universe and the mineral-rich planet of Armageddon. This is indeed a well protected planet, but how will the Steel Legion fare against a massive Ork invasion?

Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon is releasing next week on the 26th of November.

First Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon Preview (Beta build):

[Grimnirsson]

The trailer says nothing actually about the game, just a few images and some narrative, no ingame stuff, not very convincing...

And the 'preview' is not much better, description how the most basic features of any Panzer Corps game work...I dunno, nothing so far really makes me want to buy this game although I'm a huge W40k fan...

[Lord Zimoa]

Because the gameplay trailer will include the gameplay. Coming soon!

We had to get the final impact explosions in to record that and we only integrated them a couple of days ago

End not everybody does know PzC or hexbased turnbased wargames, so in this regard I think it is an informative article, if you are a WH 40K fan and you liked PzC... well than this is a no-brainer.

Many aspects are different and changed, a lot of new game features introduced, in fact it is a whole new game engine underneath compared to good old PzC, but whatever I say: Grognards will keep on grumbling, so I let the game speak for itself... we worked on this with love and zeal the last two years and I hope it will show.

[JasonPratt]

That... voiceover explaining the game premise could have been better. A lot better. Ow.

Sounded like Terence Howard trying to play Rhodes (pre-War Machine) in the first Iron Man movie, but worse.

Keeping in mind, I'm hoping for good things for the game. (Not all Grogs grumble against a PG engine; though some who like PG mechanics don't think it will work well with the property. I'm reserving judgment on that until I see more of it or play a demo.)

I'm glad it has gone gold, and I'm looking forward to the gameplay trailer. I sincerely hope that voice won't be giving mission briefings, though.

Here's LZ's next posted trailer, converted to embedding code:

[JasonPratt]

Uh.

Zimoa? Did you mean to link to THAT video as the gold release promo???  ??? ???

[Cyrano]

Check with me next time fellahs.

This is a pretty huge disappointment.
