10 Incredible Warhammer Video Games Every Fan Should Play

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is a real time strategy game based on the tabletop game of the same name. The player manages a fleet of ships from one of any of the 12 playable factions. The 13th Black Crusade is raging across the Gothic sector, it is up to you to decide what your role in it will be.

During combat the player can control everything from the direction of their spacecraft to when and where they fire their weapons. Many ships also possess powerful special abilities ranging from EMP blasts that can knock out an enemy’s shields to boarding actions that can leave their target and empty hulk drifting through space. Between battles new ships can be purchased and old ones can be upgraded.

Improving on an already winning formula meant the game received very good reviews. Fighting alongside icons of the Imperium such as Roboute Guilliman and Belisarius Cawl in huge naval engagements give the player a sense of power as thousands live or die at the click of a mouse imbues the player with a sense of power. If that sounds like it might appeal to you, spend some time in the Gothic sector.
