“Isstvan is a really thrilling period in the 31st Millennium.” said MD Don Whiteford. “This is a chance for all fans of Warhammer 40,000 to see where it all started and take control of some of the most brutal leaders in either faction. We can’t wait to see what our players think of the new additions and changes we’ve made to the game with this update.”
