This announcement took me completely by surprise. I loved the first game and having playable Necrons seems like a natural evolution.

Based on the preview screenshots on Steam it seems there's some sort of strategic map for the campaign mode.

Dat pipe organ

The first game seemed to be a bit of a sleeper hit.

Are there going to be Thallax this time, or are they still nailed to the Mechanicum plastic range?

From their newsletter:

With two playable factions, two campaigns and two highly unique play-styles, who will you lead to victory in this arcane technological war of cold metal hatred?

I cannot wait! Hopefully there's a cool art book.

Neat, I just picked up Mechanicus on sale and I'm liking it, so I'm looking forward to a sequel.

I was thinking the other day that the game format could work for an Ork themed version if they ever wanted to - different skill trees like Kommando and Cybork, squigs and various other support troops, etc.

I picked up the first on the recent sale and was pleasantly surprised too. Not an exceptional game, but solid.
