Slitherine has announced Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon, which it partially revealed back in March through a partnership with Games Workshop.
The developer has acquired the exclusive rights to the Battle for Armageddon setting in order to create a series of multiplatform, turn-based, hex games.
The initial 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 invasion through over 30 scenarios, on the “hostile terrain of the planet and its gigantic Hive Cities.”
Main features of the game include:
The game portrays the Second War for Armageddon in great detail, from the initial Ork landings to the final liberation of the planet.
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.
Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon contains over 35 scenarios, more than 100 unit types, with unique roles, stats and special abilities; and there will be 20 different units stats.

I approve. I'm very interested to see what a somewhat niche company can do with this title.

Nice to see another 40K game in addition to Space Hulk, especially since Dawn of War 3 seems to be vaporware.

Sigh. Great to see another 40K game. And a turn-based strategy one at that. But why do we always have to play as the "good" guys? Marines and the IG are fucking boring as hell. I'd much rather play as the Orks and destroy the humies.

It's still too early for them to show any screenshots.

I like how the units are going to have more stats than there are in the original rule books.

cool, a WH40k strategy game. Have only ever played Military History Commander by the same company, but I thought it was okay for a handheld game.

That sounds very good. I am fond of the Space Hulk setting, I own the boardgame and love it.
Let's see how it ends up. The last two space hulk games were disappointments.

Don't know about that, but I'm sure there'll be no peace among the fans, though...

Nope. Developed like Panzer Corps on PC and then ported later to iPad.

If it plays like panzer general or other hex strategy I don't mind it.

It plays exactly like PG. Same studio that did Panzer Corps, same engine. Despite its flaws, Panzer Corps was a good replacement for PG2.

I loved PG back in the day. Has anyone seen a gameplay video yet? This looks petty cool to me. It looks deep without having to spend hundreds of hours figuring it out. I like when war games are easy enough to figure out but also have enough depth for a lot of tactics.

Is there any purpose to have anything other than the most expensive unit in your army?. Seems money isn't a factor as I have more than enough to buy any unit available.
