We all knew it was coming. It wasn't a particularly close-guarded secret, but now there's no turning back from the havoc, as Slitherine and Games Workshop have revealed Warhammer 40.000: Armageddon, their hex-based strategy game.

 

 

The game is set during the Second War of Armageddon and players will lead the Imperial forces of the Armageddon Steel Legion and Space Marines from the Ultramarines, Blood Angels and Salamanders Chapters against Ghazghkull Thraka's massive Ork Waaagh! invasion through over 30 scenarios, on the hostile terrain of the planet and its gigantic Hive Cities.

 

 

 

Word from Slitherine's Development Director, Mr.Iain McNeil:

 

 

 

It's been almost 15 years since a turn-based strategy game set in the Warhammer 40.000 universe has been released and we think it is now time to deliver that experience to all fans around the world.

 

 

 

The principal features to be delivered:

 

 

 

• The game portrays the Second War for Armageddon in great detail, from the initial Ork landings to the final liberation of the planet;

• It contains a large branching campaign with 30 major scenarios, plus additional 5 tutorial scenarios that explore the story in detail;

• A complex plot, which can develop during a mission, right in the middle of battle, creating an engaging story line with unexpected twists;

• Players lead Imperial troops of the Armageddon Steel Legion, with supporting assets from a number of Space Marine chapters against the ferocious Orks;

• Fight alongside Commissar Yarrik and Commander Dante against the cunning Ork Warboss Ghazghkull Thraka;

• Carry over battle-hardened veterans from scenario to scenario, using their experience and upgrading their equipment;

• Detailed combat model with terrain, weather and morale effects;

• Extensive modding options delivered through a powerful and easy-to-use game editor.

 

 

 

We wish we could say 'the end is nigh!', but we shall have to endure the wait until the first Quarter of 2014 to seek glory for the Emperor. We will prevail!
