10 Incredible Warhammer Video Games Every Fan Should Play

Much in the vein of old school hex based war games Armageddon is set on the planet of the same name during its second invasion by an Ork WAAAAAAAGH. The game puts you in the boots of a commander who is taking part in the defense of the planet.

Throughout the course of several campaigns you’re able to take control of troops belonging to the Armageddon Steel Legion of the Imperial Guard as well as Space Marine chapters; the Salamanders, Ultramarines, and Blood Angels. Later DLC would also enable you to play as the Orkz!

You encounter heroic figures from 40k lore such as Commissar Sebastian Yarrick and less heroic ones such as inept Planetary Governor Herman von Strab.

Depending on the level your units may have their starting positions chosen for them or you will be able to purchase and place them in a deployment zone yourself. Missions range from rushes to escape the coming Ork horde to taking your last stand in a desperate defence. If your units manage to survive they will also gain experience and become stronger. If you enjoy old school strategy games and 40k this is definitely for you.
