- Warhammer games - the best Warhammer 40K and Warhammer Fantasy games - 28 July 2021
Games Workshop has a complicated history with licensed Warhammer games. The company has been quite reserved about it in the past - even despite some very high-profile successes in the early days - but even when it finally started to open the gates more generally it took a while for the quality to match the demand. Thankfully, things are getting better, and as things get better more Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 games are starting to appear that are worth checking out if you're fans of either of Games Workshops' iconic tabletop settings. With that in mind, we've compiled a round-up our top picks of games from fantasy land, as well as the grim darkness of the far future. We were going to keep it 50/50 but to be honest there are far less fantasy games than 40k games, and far more mediocre choices at that. We've also not strictly speaking gone for the 'best of the best', although most of t…

- Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is free to play on Steam this weekend - 23 August 2019
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is really good, but it's also kind of a niche thing: Tactical capital ship combat in the 41st century isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, after all. If you're not sure which side of that particular line you stand on, now you can find out for free. From today until until 11 am PT/2 pm ET on August 26, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is free to play on Steam . Just go to the store page, click the "play now" button, and have at it. It's the full version of the game so you can dive as deeply into it as you can manage over a three-day stretch in solo, co-op, or versus multiplayer (although that might not be the best idea ever if you're just getting into it), but the Chaos Campaign expansion released in June is not included. Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is also on sale for 40 percent off during the free weekend, dropping it to $24/&…

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is free to play on Steam right now until August 26, 6pm GMT, and can be purchased at 40% off, the biggest discount yet. If you have a friend who has been on the fence about conquering the galaxy in co-op with you, this could be the right moment to invite him to bask in the glory of the Emperor. The Chaos Campaign Expansion, that brought a brand new Chaos arc in June, is also available at 15% off, but is not free to play during this time. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32890697%2Ff7e5096a57451b71d86d5082563cb86ca4e428e1.jpg In the recent Campaign update, the game got a huge amount of new content: secondary objectives on every map, significantly improved fleet management, A.I. ultimate powers, a ton of quality of life additions, and in-depth campaign options t…

- Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2's new Chaos campaign is out today - 24 June 2019
It's hard to find any straight-up good guys in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, but Chaos are clearly the most evil of the whole bunch. Today, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2's Chaos Campaign expansion launches into the inky, war-ravaged blackness of the far future, and alongside it comes a fleet of free updates for the base game. The expansion adds a brand new story charting the rise of Malos Vrykan, whose job it is to spread the influence and general unpleasantness of the Dark Gods throughout the galaxy. Chaos has its own unique map mechanics, and the new story provides a look at what habitable space would look like if Chaos gets its way. Plus, you get to pilot evil massive space cathedrals. What's particularly nice, though, are the free upgrades coming to the base game's campaigns. Now you'll be able to field larger fleets, swap ships between them, and pursue seco…
