Wait, a proper WH40k game? Turn based dawn of war shenanigans?

Nice!

Yeah, the Stargrunts article is amusing juxtaposition, but the Marines in the books (Chaos Marines and good guys) are a bit more savvy than that.  Of course, the great thing about fiction is that you can always structure the challenge so that any set of protagonists or antagonists are up to (or not) facing the challenge du jour!

I enjoy the part where a Space Marine rips one soldier limb by limb and then beats another one to pulp with the ripped-off leg.    :o

Don't forget to watch Part 2 also.

Great video jomni...brings back fond memories of playing the old tabletop Warhammer 40K game.

Looks great.  The mechanics immediately remind me of the Battle Academy games.  Just when I thought I had all the games I needed.... :)

It is the newest version of the BA engine.  Interface is familiar indeed.  I'm no 40K tabletop gamer.  But can anyone see if they implemented tabletop rules in this?

[Surtur]

They will probably be inspired, but in no way copied, I can't imagine GamesWorkshop would allow that.

I would imagine that the table top gaming industry, at least in the US, isn't what it used to be. Fewer people play, while more people are turning to electronic media for entertainment. GW will follow the money and digital gaming is the present and the future. It's time for them to finally give in and license a pc game that mirrors the table top experience.

So very true.

looking good, although there seems to be an awful lot of units to take down in scenarios

[Freyland]

They.. they ride.. wolves? Seriously?  ???

Not just wolves...space wolves.

[Cyrano]

They're Vikings.

On wolves.

In space.

Alles klar?

P.S.:  Not fractionally so cool as the Dwarves in space who have a mighty steam choo-choo.

Or the Imperial Guard who have shooty hobbits (TM) with long-range rifles.

Upon reflection, it is an unending wonder that WH40k ever got a reputation for bad-assery...

[JasonPratt]

The space viking berserkers riding space wolves, are also werewolves.

Don't forget.

Never forget.
