There has been some teaser art released at Historicon, but I don`t know if we can show it already, or the guys want to keep it exclusive for the Press visiting the Historicon event. But I`me sure first pictures will be out pretty soon.

It is a bit too early for ingame video or screenshots as all is still work in progress, be sure that more will be revealed in the coming months though, when we get closer to 2014.

Still working on our Green Orkish friends... but of course all sides get the same amount of love and attention.

Nice!

And how about infantries of Imperium?

Yes, of course, the infantry is so cool looking and no proper wargame can do without the core of any army!

The first WH 40K Armageddon game and expansions, deal around the Second Armageddon conflict, the games will be released on iPad, PC, Mac and Android.

So there will be at least two Armageddon games and each one will has its expansions?

Sounds good!

Still confused of the scale..I really hope it's not like Panzer Corps as that scale makes no sense..Commander at war scale is way to big..I'm hoping it has more a tactical feel.

It is a brand new game and design, so no idea why comparing it with Panzer Corps or Commander makes any sense.

Will there be titans or stompas?

Yes, but only the "smaller" ones, those that make sense fighting against with infantry, vehicles and air-units.

Thinking tabletop.

Could you please answer at least half of my questions? 8)

1- We know that Blood Angels, imperial Guard, Salamanders, Orks and Ultramarines are present. What about Squats, Sir?
2- Do you plan to represent Ghazghkull rise to power? ie: headbang, Dok episode, "unification of not unified"? :mrgreen:
3- You have skimmers. What about flyers?
4- Did you read "Chains of Golgoha"?
5- Can we control special characters?
6- "WAAAGH!!!" ?

Cheers

Squats are not officially supported anymore by Games Workshop within their Warhammer 40,000 lore... so there are no plans for them at this point unless Games Workshop gives approval...

Ahh yes. I keep forgetting about this one.

So lordzimoa, that leaves you with 50% of five questions only :)

Cheers.

True, but I cannot answer them all at this point, be sure over time much more info will be revealed. But we are still designing, testing, brainstorming, evaluating certain game aspects.

So unless some features are 100% sure and in-game, we avoid speculation... I try to answer as much as we are allowed and willing at this stage.

It is a story scenario driven, turn-based, hex-based wargame.

We have flying units as speeders, fighters, bombers etc... we have special characters like Yarrick, Dante, Ghazghkul, etc.

Orks are available and in game, the first game portrays the Second War for Armageddon™ in great detail, from the initial Ork landings to the final liberation of the planet of Armageddon.
