Warhammer 40,000: Regicide is not a Warhammer game starring Nintendo of America’s President Reggie Fils-Aime saying “My Body Is Ready” as he’s encased in Space Marine Terminator armor and conquers the known universe, however I feel they should add him in as DLC. Warhammer 40,000: Regicide is the latest game to feature the Games Workshop highly imitated and very popular franchise of Space Marines vs Orks this time in a tactical turn-based setting. Unlike other digital board games this isn’t some boring game where pieces fall over, Orks and Space Marines alike are blown to bits with gibs and viscera strewn across the battlefield as the battles rage on until this is only one winner. The game is currently up on Steam Early Access and seems to be getting a good flow up updates. This latest 1.2 update adds more online multiplayer options allowing players to choose sides, challenge friends directly from their Friends List and claim victory when opponents leave (forfeit) live matches.

New factions, environments, gameplay features, and more …
Sydney, Australia – Monday June 29, 2015 – Warhammer 40,000: Regicide sees the largest update it’s had to Early Access, with the addition of new environments, two new factions, hotseat, and live Multiplayer features.
A series of newly released imagery depicts a new battlefield – a ruined Imperial monument surrounded by trees, smoke and motes of ash at the heart of an ancient forest.
The addition of the “Raven Guard” Space Marines and “Snakebites” Ork Clan provides a ‘black and white’ set of pieces for both races currently in the game, alongside the White Scars and Goffs available at launch.
Hot-Seat mode – local multiplayer on the same machine – has been implemented alongside many general UI updates.
The heavy-hitting heroes of Warhammer 40,000: Regicide have seen updated animations for many sequence-effects with a wide range of sparks, blood and impacts now keyed to objective sources. Almost a hundred new or improved sound effects provide an additional crunch to the visual update.
Warhammer 40,000: Regicide’s game servers have also been completely overhauled to facilitate live multiplayer matches. Asynchronous play options remain available for custom challenges against friends.
- choose their starting board side
- easily challenge friends to quick battles, directly from their Friends list
- claim victory when opponents leave (forfeit) Live matches
