There is no peace amongst the stars.
Experience the brutal fusion of galactic strategy and grimdark warfare in Total War: Warhammer 40,000. Take command of iconic factions, customise your war machine, and engage in devastating battles as you carve a bloody warpath across the stars.
They revealed 2 factions, Space Marines and Orks
Base game factions are Space Marines, Astra Militarum (Guard) , Orks and Eldar
Cool to see Orks and Eldar
Today im a happy piglet.
It seems also they are going for a fullscale galactic game. I assume they start with one segmentum and expand over tiem but well see. There seems to be some space / naval layer I doubt playable battles (maybe stellaris style stuff ?) pure speculation.
Also an army painter.
They better have real space combat for a 40k game. If Empire At War could do it 20 years ago, you can too!
The naval battles in the few previous games they had them were notoriously bad to where they made them exclusively auto resolve in Three Kingdoms. So I’m not holding my breath there for anything more than maybe “siege” type battles that take place in the ship interiors.
I’m maybe in the minority here but I liked naval battles in (mid-game) FOTS on account of having much more to work with than past games. Warhammer 40K does offer much more flexibility in how to implement them so you aren’t just a passive observer hoping your floating bricks don’t spontaneously combust.
Oh well, imperial guard is probably going to play like skaven in fantasy who are my fav.
Also no chaos faction
Given how the previous games went, we’ll probably see other factions sold as expansions/new games/DLC pretty regularly. Assuming it does well
I image its going to be race dlc first (i think chaos space marines will get the first one) with 3 legendary lords and one legendary hero
I will play when they add Dark Eldar in 2030
Who are we kidding? 40k writers can’t write anything other than “It was all according to plan!” Chaos shit so obviously they’ll be the secret faction unlocked at the end of the campaign.
nah, they would be losing the dlc money, they will probably be a non-playable faction with some units and then they will later make the dlc that makes them playable and add more units like originally they had for warrior of chaos in TWW1
