Shadow War of Armageddon: New Games Workshop Specialist Game

in #warhammer40k7 years ago (edited)

Recently, following Games Workshop's reinstatement of their specialist games (brought on by the success of the Blood Bowl reprint, which in turn was brought on by the success of the Blood Bowl videogames) they announced a new squad size game featuring vertical terrain "Shadow War Armageddon", right now its shaping up to be a remake of Necromunda but featuring most 40k factions. The following list is some examples of the playable factions and kits the offical warhammer community website recommends gathering up for this game: Skitarii Rangers, Chaos Space Marines, Cultists, Dark Eldar Wyches, Dire Avengers, Eldar Guardians, Harlequin Troupe, Grey Knights Strike Squad, Necron Immortals, Necron Warriors, Tau Empire Pathfinder Team, Tyranid Warrior Brood, Neophyte Hybrids, Scouts, Cadian Infantry and Ork Boyz. The current release date is rumored to be April 8th 2017 but its not set in stone.

In my opinion the reinstatement of Games Workshop's specialist games is a wonderful thing as, 1. They're very fun games by themselves and 2. They introduce many people to the 40k setting and makes the transition from squad based games to army sized games a lot smoother, Included below are several links to leaked rules and youtube videos about the game.
