Get an Exclusive First-Look at Warhammer 40,000: Regicide's Troops in Action
Regicide is a new take on chess with an epic Warhammer setting and you can get an early look at the game's units now.
Warhammer 40,000: Regicide isn't your typical Warhammer game. The upcoming title from Hammerfall Publishing is a variation on chess that, according to the game's press release, will let you "turn a chessboard into a defensive gun line, power up your pieces, call in airstrikes, cast spells, and score a checkmate at the end of a chainsword."
The game is coming to PC first and will eventually roll out to mobile platforms as well.
Regicide's primary gameplay has two modes:
- Regicide: where you "plan an attack and command your soldiers through multiple phases of combat."
- Classic: where you "sharpen your tactics based on traditional chess rules, brutally executing violent kills in diverse battlefield terrains."
You can check out the new units in action in the above-embedded GIFs, or click through the image gallery below to see even more of the Ork and Space Marine models.
