It’s OUT! Come check out the best 40K grand strategy game since Final Liberation!
Epsom, UK – November 26, 2014.“Humies is all weak scum that deserve ta get stomped.” (Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka – Prophet of the Waaagh!)
A massive Space Hulk is drifting towards Armageddon with a fearsome Ork army on board. Led by the infamous and megalomaniacal Ork Warlord of Waaagh! Ghazghkull, the Orks are prepared to land on the planet and invade this precious Imperial Hive World. This colossal conflict for dominance of the planet is known as the Second War for Armageddon! In Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon, players have the opportunity to relive this epic fight between the Orks and Imperial forces including the troops of the Armageddon Steel Legion and three chapters of Spaces Marines: the Salamanders, Blood Angels and Ultramarines. Today we are overjoyed to announce that the game is finally released and available on both our sites and Steam! In this hex-based, turn-based strategy game developed by Flashback Games and The Lordz Games Studio, players will fight alongside iconic characters such as Commander Yarrick and Lord Dante to repel the Ork invasion, protect the hives, and eventually liberate the planet from this perfidious alien attack. But the Orks are well equipped and hard-boiled soldiers, therefore only those commanders able to expertly combine their units, take advantage of their special traits and abilities, and understand the assets and dangers of their environment will have a chance to save Armageddon! Thanks to its epic story-driven campaign with more than 30 scenarios, over 300 unit types, a multiplayer mode in which players can command both Ork and Imperial forces, and a powerful map editor, fans of Warhammer 40,000 should prepare themselves for a long and heroic journey across the surface of Armageddon! We are offering a $10 discount to the early adopters during the week of the launch! We are also going to offer a free Steam key to anyone who bought a copy of the game from the Matrix Games or Slitherine store, once the game is available on this digital platform! Get more information on Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon from its gripping trailer and its official Steam page.

Conversion Kit for StormRaven – up for sale
Wanted to put a note out there that our website is back up and selling again. I have a lot of ground to make up since I was down for a couple of months. I hope to have new defense lines up as well as some new products as well. I also wish to thank those who supported us during this 4 year legal battle and hope I can continue to sell you all products you can use in your wargaming. Thank you!

Tervigon kit – no where to be seen
Their retail store is indeed back open for business, however it looks like a few key items have been removed (like the Tervigon upgrade kit). So it seems the precedence is set for what every other 3rd party company can call their products in regards for copyright terms. I’m sure we’ll see more from other indy manufacturers in the near future as well. But for now plenty of great products available for sale, so go check it out! http://chapterhousestudios.com Chapterhouse does have quite a number of thier old kits back up all clearly labeled as being add-ons for specific Games Workshop kits.
Super-heavy walker kit – up for sale
Both companies are back in business after 4 years, and it looks like the legal system worked.
That’s it for this week. And keep in touch with the latest in Horus Heresy Gaming at the Heresy30K blog.
