Expansion

August 18, 2016

Strategy

A standalone expansion to turn-based strategy game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe from the duo of The Lordz Games Studio and Flashback Games. It takes place at the end of 40th millennium, when a derelict ship is discovered in a system of the planet Armageddon. When humans attempt to investigate the wreck, it turns out to be a ruse of Orks, who plan to start the biggest offensive on the Empire of Man yet and end humans once and for all. We play as a warboss of Orks, Ghazghkull Thraka, known from the original board game, leading his forces against Space Marines and Armageddon Steel Legion in various locations – from open space to cities. Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon - Da Orks offers new dynamic campaign consisting of 18 missions and complements it with base game’s multiplayer through PBEM++. Players can choose from over 400 new units, equipped with 200 different kinds of weapons.

Expansion

March 19, 2015

Strategy

Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon - Vulkan's Wrath is the first big expansion to Warhammer: 40,000: Armageddon, a real-time strategy developed by The Lordz Games and Slitherine. This add-on expands the plot of the first game and tells the story of the second war for the planet Armageddon. Three chapters of Space Marines join the battle in its crucial moment. The expansion's story focuses on the Salamanders chapter. The game is divided into ten missions, during which we will use all assets and special abilities of our Space Marines unit while defending the planet's inhabitants from the ferocious Orcs. Vulkan's Wrath does not introduce any technical changes to the game. Just like in the base game, we can play alone or compete with other players in asynchronous multiplayer played through PBEM++.

GameWatcher: 6 / 10 by Nick Horth

For a full-price game, though, Wahammer 40K: Armageddon feels lacklustre and slightly cheap, more of a re-skin of Panzer Corps than its own beast, and lacking the sense of grandeur that the setting requires. There's a great turn-based 40K out there somewhere, but this isn't it.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun: by Adam Smith

It's an accessible wargame and a good place to start for those familiar with the fiction and looking to make the jump to hex-based warfare.

PCGamesN: 7 / 10 by Fraser Brown

Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon is a bit skinny for a wargame. I can't deny that I've missed getting stressed about logistics or big picture strategy, and it certainly hasn't set my heart aflutter in the way that I hoped a Warhammer wargame would. But there aren't very many wargames that are this easy to dip into, either. It's got a focus and simplicity that's often lacking elsewhere, and it could be indispensible for anyone looking to dip their toes into the genre.
