After a period of waiting, we are finally ready to share with you that the highly anticipated Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon is releasing on the 26th of this month!

With the beta well underway, we are currently making the final changes to the game based on community feedback. Developed by Flashback Studio and the Lordz Games Studio, Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon is designed to bring the Warhammer 40,0000 universe to life in a deep and rewarding strategy gaming experience.

In “Armageddon”, you will be able to take part in the brutal second war for the planet in a fully narrated campaign, or one of the many multiplayer skirmish challenges. Fans will finally be able to lead the Imperial forces of the Armageddon Steel Legion and Space Marines from a variety of Chapters against the Ork invasion through over 30 scenarios, on the hostile terrain of the planet and its gigantic Hive Cities.

**Hulksmash**

Sweet!!!!

**Eldarain**

Nice. This looks great.

**Brother SRM**

Hell yes! I'm really stoked about this. I've been looking forward to this game for a while.

**Dr Mathias**

Very cool picture of a Hive City.

**matphat**

Please tell me this will have Orks as one of the multiplayer armies, and not just various imperial forces fighting one another.
I can't seem to find that detail anywhere.

**Uriels_Flame**

DLC I suppose...

**orkybenji**

Mite b cool.

**Verviedi**

YES STEEL LEGION

**Bull0**

Has anyone had any success getting into the beta? Or have they just not opened it yet? 26th isn't very far away...

**Kiwi461**

Any intent on making it compatible for Mac without the requirement for bootcamp or a wrapper?

**CalgarsPimpHand**

Welp, found my new desktop background.

**spiralingcadaver**

Wow, that's an epic wallpaper for a game that looks kinda' bland.

**Warhams-77**

I am very much looking forward to this game

**niceguyteddy**

Looks a lot like Panzer General. Not a bad thing, I played the heck out that game.

Ain't that the truth. It's an awesome looking picture.

I believe in an earlier post it was stated that it's similar or based around Panzer General. Pretty sure that was this game.

Very much looking forward to this.

**Scrub**

I'd forgotten about this so it's doubly exciting to be reminded of it's existence and impending release!

It looks gorgeous, I just hope the animations for the units aren't a let down on what looks like a very authentic representation of the tabletop game.

**Gogsnik**

Steam? Well there's another game I won't be able to play...

**VorpalBunny74**

I vaguely remember enjoying Rites of War, so I'll keep an eye on this

**trephines**

Awesome! Looking forward to this.

**Padre**

This looks good - I loved the original "Final Liberation", and if this is somewhat similar...

Also, they mentioned in the blurb that you get to use Titans...

I'm in!

**DarkKnights44**

Looks like a updated version of Final Liberation. That was a fun game to play, this should be as well.

I'm still hoping another Dawn of War is coming out again, still the best 40K computer game out there.

**Bellzo**

Omg!!! Might the 40k universe move forward in its timeline? Nothing has really changed since the 13th black crusade campaign. That was so cool, I wish GW would do something like that again :(

Not in this game it wont. This is the 2nd Armageddon War. This pre-dates the 13th Black Crusade by ~58 years.

No time line advancement yet. Ever

**AgeOfEgos**

Man, that picture really captures the immensity and scale of 40k. Really well done.

**Snrub**

I just noticed that it's going to be available for PC and ipad. What are the chances of getting it for Android tablets as well?

It's using the same engine as the Panzer Corps games, which have been hailed as a spiritual successor to the old Panzer General games.

Do you play games on a computer? It's kind of a necessity to, and super handy to boot.

**Bobthehero**

Neat, am now looking forward to that.

Why would they, Android only out sold the iPad nearly two to one last year?

If the game sells well I'd expect it to come to Android, eventually.

Edit: Bombard their Facebook page with requests for the Android version, can't hurt: https://www.facebook.com/slitherine

**sockwithaticket**

Looking at the screenshots I'm really impressed by the unit variety; Stormeagle, Land Raider Helios and Tauros are all Forgeworld units and if even half the FW stuff available for all the factions is in game this could be really cool.

I too have fond memories of Rites Of War, will be looking out for this when it's released.
